The Merry Mushmen have a new dungeo... I mean a new website!
themerrymushmen.com/
Just in time for the announcement of the reprint of issue 1. (Well, we may have timed these two things using chronomancer spells.)

New time!

I'm a French game designer and writer based in Dublin, Ireland. He or They. have been a part of my life forever and of my livelihood since the last century.

If you're not both French and middle-aged, you may know me from , a descendant blending old and new ideas for you to brew to your taste, or , the bric-à brac-adventure gaming slash magazine I edit.

I also love , cruises, and 's work.

Hey folks, there's a VTT looking for freelance writers on the birdsite, link below. I can safely say that €0.08/word is well above the standard rate for pretty much any publisher I know, so who knows, might be useful to some of you?

👆​ I'll be gallivanting around Birmingham when this is released.

Your best bet to grab this free PDF and the additional material while they're red hot is to keep an eye on @TMushmen's feed and/or our resources page: themerrymushmen.com/ressources

What have you done to fuck with Hasbro's bottom line today?

An alternative to not saying D&D ever again to describe fantasy adventure games would be to use *F-D&D* (for Free or Fabulous) and *C-D&D* (for Corporate or Capitalist).

Here's an interesting video about what's going on at and the real reasons for the fuckery. (It's backed up by multiple verified sources.)

tl;dw: It's all about Sandcastle, the 3D tabletop project, which is distinct from .

I'm still behind on , but I'm taking it easy cause I'm swapping methods - the Rocketbook is too much of a pain to work with, and too sensitive to minor spills (got some water damage over the weekend). Have a Hobonichi weeks mega on order, so hopefully I'll find the time to transcribe everything over the weekend!

Right: one more day of OGL related work, then I'm taking tomorrow OFF. Offline, off the screens, maybe even off the coast. Off.

I left my feedback about the 1.2
Not that I feel like I have any skin on the game anymore, but I think people should express their views to the mind flayers who took over the wizards tower.

I Forget

ogl; queer/trans 

I have zero stake in the #OGL meta going around, but I'm reading through WotC's 1.2 draft right now and it still feels like a pretty raw deal.

In one point among many others: As a queer polyamorous trans person I can't afford to trust any corporation with the unilateral, unchallengeable right to terminate my license if I "engage in conduct that is... obscene," with their sole right to define that. There are CEOs today who define my existence as obscene.

As expected, the draft of 1.2 is a royal joke.

Apologies for cross posting with the birdboards but I have a headache and I spent like 10 minutes making this on my phone.

North American and European game publishers; please remember that we _must_ pay folks at least equivalent to our local minimum wages. Freelancers in high-cost jurisdictions ought to earn at least enough as McDonalds employees, and those in lower wage jurisdictions can actually make a reasonable living that way. Rising tide, and all that.

Urgh. Enough writing and rewriting. It's off my chest now and maybe I can stop thinking about it.

I wrote a 600-word letter to WotC, pouring all my feels into it. The good and the bad. I'll sleep on it and maybe post it tomorrow. Or not.
