No Friday Forage this week! Here's the TLDR, which will probably be long anyway. I started writing it on Friday, but the Forage is really aimed at impactful updates or news that can be picked apart - and two of the three highlighted bits would really function better as an article. So I shifted gears and tried to bumrush the articles...but I got held up by the fact that a large portion of my research was coming from a contact in Poland, six hours ahead time wise, and I couldn't crunch things into my work window.
SO I skipped the Forage- I'll route the solitary game blurb into the upcoming Forage, and the other two will appear as stand alone articles. (Actually, the first one went out this AM- and it's about the stupid shit the Short Snow dev is pulling. You can read that here.)
The last one I hope to have written up tomorrow, it's just going to take me a bit to write it out. (And, yanno, translate pages from Polish.)
🔨 Last Week's Work
Last week I was pretty tied up with offline work (read: that makes me money and pays my bills) so any free time went into backend Hashtag stuff: website and newsletter tuning, etc.
Sneaking in this Giveaway- reply to this email with "I'm in!" for a chance to win a pair of keys: The Infected and Escape the Pacific.
🎬 Behind The Scenes
Last weekend - and this weekend, really- are kinda screwed for me game wise because of plans. We spent the weekend hitting up the Oddities and Curiosities Expo- super fun.
Everything you could ever dream of, shoved in a globe. (Or jar.)
Tons of taxidermy animals everywhere doing various things.
Did I dress up? No.
Did I walk around wearing a coyote pelt? Maybe. (I love furs.)

🏕️ Weeklong Plans
I've got 3 games - 4, now that I think about it- that I need to hop in this week. My time blocks are few and scattered- hoping maybe Wednesday day and Friday evening. Wednesday AM I have plans to meet up with Romain from Derelicts - I really hope to have some info - and maybe images?- to share as a result of the meetup. Fingers crossed, but I'll see ya guys next week!
