Like even normal people, innocent people, can glance at the fucking East Wing rubble or whatever incoherent nazi bullshit Trump is posting that day and be like yeah man Osama Bin Laden definitely accomplished his goal. Completely nailed it.

This week in Electric Bastionland, Syndy and Dent finish what the others started last time, Ironchild is infected with the remnants of a murderous black iron spine, Clancy pulls a disgusting treasure from the well, and ZRX-4 discovers their candy-coated immortality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JOa...

Electric Bastionland - The Strait Story - Session 9

I have a ton of board games, and I'm looking to unload a bunch both because I'm broke and because we're moving soon, and. I guess games are just really expensive these days? I was looking at the replacement cost for like, my unopened copy of Root that I bought for $40 in 2019 and it's $60 now? Huh.

Welp, there’s the power out. Detroit!

I am bummed that the place we live now—which is smaller than our previous place—does not have a table or other surface on which to play games. I am double bummed that the next place we will live—which will be even smaller than this one—most likely will not, either. (Hobbies? In this economy? 😂😢😭)

This week in Electric Bastionland we start spiking Ironchild back into control of the Goragath despite froggy fixer dissuasions, get a couple of stabby scars, get a demon face to annihilate itself, and THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT in "jabba the cat"'s alien forge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JzA...

/me ships a game, immediately two new games muscle themselves to the front of the line, ignoring the dozen WIPs in front of them

Okay, Starfolk is for real for real done—I ordered a proof copy from Mixam and did my final run-through, so those should be available through IPR within a few weeks... in the meantime, feel free to grab community copies (or holler if they run out)! majcher.itch.io/starfolk

This week in Electric Bastionland we basked in the radiance of a pair of icy a̶n̶g̶e̶l̶s̶ aliens, dodged an exotic Masterphager festival, and crossed the Strait to the Goragath, dealing with froggy fixers and the ship... computer? Ironchild, causing absolutely no havok at all. youtu.be/ClNkrsMQ9TY

"Did you record Tim Curry singing the toxic sludge monster song?" "Yeah boss. Real sexy, just like you asked." "What-" "🥵"

Sunny Moraine@dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social · 2w ago

I feel like Tim Curry’s role in Ferngully might be easy to overlook given how tremendous his entire goddamn career was but can we take a moment to acknowledge that is probably one of the most outrageously sexy performances he’s ever given on screen youtu.be/hr4knvNNgtU?...

I know folks in NYC, but I'm not sure who's around on Long Island these days... We'll be in Stony Brook till the end of the week, so it'll be nice to have some toodling time there.

Went through and made a whole bunch of my older games PWYW, so have at it. majcher.itch.io

Friends who make and sell games: - Do you have a "sell sheet" that you send to folks? - Do you have one for each game, or one for all your games? - Do you ever send them to folks physically, or just digitally? - Do you refer specifically to a distributor or your site, or just general contact info?

This year for my birthday I'm going to start up a newsletter again. Let's see how long that lasts. Get in while the gettin's good: buttondown.com/majcher/

Marc Majcher

I make things—games, workshops, tools, and odd bits of wood and code—and I like to share what I’m doing and learning along the way. This newsletter is the occasional dispatch from my creative life in East Lansing and thereabouts.

ADHD means that instead of spending ten minutes on a chapter in the morning, an ebook artifact leads you to tracking down the sick Gustave Doré plates for the edition of Don Quixote you're reading, then following the "how to do wood engraving" rabbit hole for an hour and developing the new interest.

This week in Electric Bastionland we continue west on the Rust Canal, leaving revolution behind and meeting with Salvation and his pyromaniacal children, dodging tolls, practicing gondoliering, and pushing totally innocent (but inquisitive) old ladies off the boat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP3E...

Yeah, I think six hours is about my driving time limit these days. Hello... East Rockford, IL? Sure, why not.

Played @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social 's Intergalactic Autogyro EXPERIENCE at @makeascenemn.bsky.social tonight! I was not prepared to be blasted by the music that I danced to a *lot* thirty-five years ago, but blasted we were.

Made it to our airbnb (but it's an old convent attached to the arts center so it's cool) in Minneapolis for @makeascenemn.bsky.social ! The drive from Detroit was actually pretty nice, aside from some scary bridges, and we had a little sleepover in Portage, WI, so we're not completely exhausted. 🎉

@majcher.bsky.social wrote Toffet Station about a research station orbiting Mercury and all the terrible things that happen when they (literally?) reach too close to the sun. #TTRPGs #RPGs #games www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Toffet...

About once a year I get an email asking if my first kickstarted game (15 years ago!) is still available. For some reason, the POD link never shows up in a search, so here it is for the next person who asks. :D www.drivethrucards.com/en/product/1...

I'm not saying that people should throw rocks at harry potter fans, but I would not disagree with anyone that did.

This week in Electric Bastionland, we suffer the reproach of a surly Elevated Line conductor, aid a stab victim at Pandemonium Shores, drink deeply of industrial runoff from a newly christened candy factory, and plot artistic revolution in the Swan Song Collective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ED8...

Man, I used to make some sickass posters.

I am very sad to not be at Gen Con this weekend.
