Only @bananachangames.bsky.social knows what's in that envelope. It could be cursed. It could be safe. My bet (because Banana has it) is that it's cursed. Definitely cursed.

🎲✂️ @gengelstein.bsky.social and I just wrapped up a talk re: @ttgda.bsky.social / the current state of the tabletop industry at Conjugar Roll a Game 2025. Talking tariffs, I noted that China made the most efficient engine ever when they laid out the Shenzhen SEZ. And now I have to make that a game.

I need people to understand that Barthes meant "Death Of The Author" to mean that authorial intent should not be the primary lens by which to criticize and understand a text; it has nothing to do with "is buying a book by a bigot acceptable" it is about LITERARY CRITICISM
