Was I nervous to throw my only sample in the air? Yes.
Does Megan Shinner have a keen eye for beautiful photographs and the fastest focus pull in the west? Yes.
A detailed look into manufacturing and some impressive transparency from the folks at Earthborne 👏 props to the climate scientist @hstaudmyer for her breakdown and proud of my friend @Davilimap’s work on this game 🎉
It's not every day a climate scientist reviews your game 🙂

Thanks to everyone for watching the stream. Verdict: @TabletopPG is a great alternative to @TabletopSim with a different mindset towards creating mods. A lot of great features, but a bit more of a learning curve than TTS but slightly easier to learn than @TabletopiaGames
If anyone is looking for TTS alternatives, I’ve used BoardGameArena and Tabletopia for playing published games and prefer screentop.gg for sharing and playtesting prototypes these days.
Thank you for sharing and documenting a difficult experience, @XoeAllred.

On a personal note (this is less important to this conversation), as a straight white cis male it’s always difficult to comprehend that a human’s existence can be considered a bannable offense.
I’ll continue to listen and support people outside of the mainstream.
I also just watched @afrozenpeach give Tabletop Playground a try on twitch; the end recommendation was that it was easier to set up a new game than Tabletopia.
