had a rerun of a remarkably frequent conversation earlier, so guess this isn't common knowledge but do you know who's more likely to hand over money & buy an RPG? statistically* it's someone who pays £10 (& sometimes 🤬 the same again in shipping) for a magazine about them *that's maths x science!

The former Diamond Comics is trying to legally steal publishers stock that's sitting with them. Impacted? Cryptozoic, Goodman Games, Green Ronin, Paizo, S7 Games, and pretty much every comic-book company. The peak-capitalism BS is Bankruptcy 101 from what I understand.

We'd love to do a feature on the best tie-in merch that @a24movies.bsky.social have done over the years, because they consistently kill it with their extraneous yet weirdly essential tat, like the seasonally appropriate Midsommar gear you can still pick up shop.a24films.com/collections/...

Last month, I spent a week playtesting @jdragsky.bsky.social's the Seven Part Pact in a fancy house in Bath. I write about the most maximalist RPG I've ever played.
