It is up! So, after last week posting the history of my campaign setting, this week my post on what I'd like to see players doing is up. Well, when I DM, there is a more roleplay focused campaign idea going up next week, but the "Helping the people on the edge of post-war no-man's land" idea is up today, I'd love feedback and to know if you'd enjoy playing in this type of game:

Once I've written the article, it will be published in Digits and Threads: https://www.digitsandthreads.ca/ -- which will also have a piece about the Murdoch Quilt project by @emilyknits and is co-published by @kateatherley
I am feeling pretty danged lucky today. I just got to interview the costume designer for Murdoch Mysteries, the beloved Canadian costume drama. She is delightful! Thank you to @emilyknits and @kateatherley !

The 5.1 SRD is released under Creative Commons now. That’s huge. They can’t walk that one back.
Cezar Capacle is starting up a newsletter called "Global South Shoutout" that "highlights indie tabletop game designers from the Global South and its diaspora." Substack link below; birdsite link with more context in thread.
Also interesting to note: I put up posts Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Sat and Sun have larger numbers of posts then normal background, Monday does NOT. So I should put posts up on the weekends when people are browsing blogs, and not on weekdays when they aren't.
Of course, it could be most people came here from Mastodon, I can't tell as it doesn't send a refer.
OH FOR THE LOVE OF. I thought this went up in a week, and it went up at 9 am yesterday.
This actually outline the relevant history of the campaign setting I'm writing; https://canageek.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/the-from-the-phoenixs-ashes-campaign-setting-history/
Feedback is very welcome!
Alright heck it I've reached a breaking point with this crap. We have GOT to make the internet more than five big crappy websites full of screenshots of the other four. Hell with it, do-it-ourselves time.
PM me with your hobby website URL, email address and 468*60 non-animated banner image, and I'll give you free advertising on Improbable Island.
The Island transfers 1.5 to 2 gigabytes of text a day, that's a lotta eyeballs on your ad, no catch. Boosts welcome.
Canadian geek, not a geek in a can. I started gaming in grade five, started playing at conventions in 2002 with Living Greyhawk. Aspie.
