gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?
-Riyad Mansour (Palestinian representative to the UN)
Games for Gaza, an Itch megabundle raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians, is now live! It features 256 games from 140 creators, including over 190 TTRPGs and 40 video games (and more)! Just a $10 USD minimum!
Check it out HERE!
A Sunless Space, my micro-TTRPG inspired by Andor, is included as are loads more thematically appropriate games of pushing back against the endless encroach of empire.
Other TTRPG highlights (for me): Beam Saber, i'm sorry did you say street magic, The Ground Itself, Anamesis, Monster Care Squad, Cybermetal 2012, and Apocalypse Frame. These are just the bigger/more well known ones, but there's so much variety and lots I'm excited to dig into!
The bundle will be available for a little under two weeks and all proceeds are going directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
It's been great to have a very, very small part in this and do something, anything, in the face of such reckless hate. Go get it if you can, spread the word, and do whatever you can in your sphere of the influence to aid the cause.
doesn't it piss you off corporations act like you were born to see ads. why it's so bad for trying to escape them??? the way it's okay for websites to make ads sooo annoying you feel like you have no choice but buy premium. and even then you can't escape ad reads. i don't want to waste hours of my life skipping ads. finding the x button. or being woken by an ad that pops at the end of 3 hours long white noise video. using spotify without premium is a nightmare. i hate how ads are everywhere and somehow it's normal to say 'if you don't want to see ads on youtube and use adblock then you're stealing from them!' what. i'm gonna install adblock on every computer elders in my family use as a preventive measure bc too many websites put ads in between news articles!!!
GUBAT BANWA HAS FUNDED! We've blasted past our first stretch goal. We're going up to our second stretch goal right now:
For the $70k Stretch Goal we'll be able to work on a full art version of FLOWERS OVER DALUMAT, a full Narrative Cycle from Legend 1-8 that covers the war-torn island of DALUMAT, the mysteries within it, as well as its connection to an ancient lost kingdom!
The petals on this scroll have closed this sigh is aggrieved and not content. I want all the flowers kneeling now Let Dalumat rise again. The ruins of Dalumat have long been infested by demonic warriors. Brass-clad gimas wielding twisting spears, tusked and bulging-eyed.
Delve into the melancholy of the island and seek out lost glories and worse romances. Revel in revelation, its connection to the ancient kingdom known only as Sangmalan, and the dancing dewas that duel with naga!
In addition to a full hex map of the island, guided Narrative Scenario (an experience less sandboxy and more "follow the narrative beats"), pre-made encounters, NEW ENEMIES, NEW ORIGINS and NEW ANTING! aside from cutesy little drama mechanics, like Fishing and Cooking
Depending on how well the funding goes, we might even have a new Gatusan Homeland, Gatusan and Apunon Professions, around 3-5 new Complications, and potentially new Disciplines and Discipline Branches...
