Just wanted to chime in with a few updates (my brain is too pickled for a real post)
-The Black Hack 10th Anniversary jam begins in 26 days and has 45 registered participants! Wow! Legitimately very excited to see what people are gonna make. There's been some conversation in the TBH discord's #jam channel but I'm going to try and get some discussion started on itch as well.
-Appendix N jam 2026 is in full swing. My give title is kind of a head scratcher so we'll see what I end up making ("The Rasped Prophecy")
-MemoryCore's backerkit campaign was a success! I mention this specifically because I backed this game (and I almost never back crowdfunding campaigns for games) and am really excited about it. Think it's gonna provide a lot of fun in 2027.
-I joined the rootring. This is a very cool project by elmcat to create a webring for ttrpg blogs. Just click the little buttons down at the bottom of any page on this blog (web version only - gotta ask about how to make it viewable on mobile) and you can hop to other blogs in the ring. Why doomscroll when you give yourself access to a nigh endless feed or tabletop game discourse and content?
-I am absolutely obsessed with Rules of Engagement's CAIN actual play, Division 12. I generally bounce right off APs but the voice acting and sound design on this one are *chefs kiss.*
And that's all for today folks. My baby has been sleeping through the night for two weeks, I am filled with grilled meats and storms seem to have broken this hellish heat. Let me get back to bed before the boiling starts in the sky again.
