    A bit delayed, but here is my blog post featuring 103 books by Black authors that are releasing/released in 2021 that you should/maybe check out! It took me a lot of work and so many spoons to compile this list!

    I was in one of those playtests (with the Cindered Seal crew, no less!), and I can say with absolute confidence that ’s Genrenauts RPG is A Blast™️ and I think a lot of people will enjoy if whenever it becomes a finished thing.

    After two very fun playtests with great feedback from my players, I'm moving the Genrenauts FitD RPG from "Could this be a Thing?" to "This is an Active Project". More game updates coming to Patreon soonish.

    My husband has discovered “cats scared of cucumbers” and he won’t stop watching videos now. I feel terrible for these poor cats. They are all me, but instead of cucumbers, I’m afraid of everything.

    So that was fun! The Winter Palace takes way more than two hours, apparently, so we'll hopefully wrap it up on Tuesday. Florianne has been danced with, so all we have to do is find some more evidence and decide who will rule Orlais. No pressure!
