The current political environment in the USA makes it damn-near impossible to run a business. Shipping is in chaos because of random wars. New tariff barriers rise and fall on a weekly basis. More importantly, the economic policies are threatening and impoverishing my customer base. Lean times.

Some radical transparency: we may only have a year left at our current pace. If you'd like to help us survive to reach our full potential, consider subscribing, donating, or buying a gift subscription.

Happy to report I am seeing some real progress on the complete rework of my website. I hear having a functional site is helpful for Kickstarter campaigns. :)

Spiderman Brand New Day was pretty solid. I mean, the MCU is pretty played out at the moment but they got the heart of the characters pretty well.

Nine Space Games is in our warehouse! It looks great. Here's The Arrangements, maybe my favorite, shamelessly stolen from Handel's 1739 opera "Berenice". But in space! I really love this format - play it in an hour, cut straight to the big feels and agonizing decisions.

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

Are you at #GenCon and looking to pick up some of our awesome games? The fine folks at the Indie Game Developer Network have copies of After the War, Sig: Manual of the Primes, and more at booth 132! While supplies last, since tarrifs make restocking difficult.

I accidentally punned so hard I sprained something. One of the backgrounds in Dragon's Dungeon is "weaver" which includes spinning, weaving and tailoring. I gave them a weapon proficiency with "Darts".

Are you at #GenCon2026 and looking to snag some beautiful indie RPGs? Be sure to check out the @igdn-official.bsky.social Booth 132 and @ipr.bsky.social at Booth 449! There is so much creativity and amazing design work worth discovering.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

The first playtest of Dragon's Dungeon kinda worked, which is all I can hope for at this point. Lots of valuable feedback to digest though.
