- Some guidance on this issue was written up by my IOSS integration provider: easproject.com/romania-ital... Long story short, new €2 fees to Italy (unlikely to proc) and ~€5 fees to Romania (very likely to proc). I believe these fees will be bundled in as part of shipping services (e.g. Royal Mail)

- Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

- I'm not quite back, but thinking about it! Slowly creaking my rusty hinges and shedding dust.
- Reposted by Stout StoatSome notes about how I write TTRPG adventures: My texts tend to be terse. A location described in two lines; a single spoken sentence to describe a character. The aim is *not* to be laconic, but to mirror the pace of natural dialogue; a TTRPG is a conversation between players, after all! 1/
- I'm taking a break till January 5th! I won't be checking work social media, work email, or discord until then. See youse in the new year :)
- Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out is by no means subtle but sometimes it is wonderful to be beaten in the face repeatedly with the narrative and its (barely) subtext. I enjoyed it, even though I personally feel like I am not *necessarily* the target audience 😉

- Reposted by Stout StoatFinally got my hands on the physical book for Carved in Stone by Heather Christie @archaeoplays.bsky.social and Brian Tyrrell @stoutstoat.co.uk.

- "This is a hobby of makers" resonates with my growingly informed opinions on RPGs for the last 5 years. RPGs are not an industry. Every project is a passion; the results of success would be unequal to the reward, if not also for the fact that it *satisfies* a deep need in the maker.
- I would not publish if I did not love this work down to my bones. It would not and has never been worth it solely in terms of earnings or acclaim.

- Apple's iPad is such a powerful multi-purpose tool for drawing, writing, and touch-based interfacing, and it is utterly let down by it's UI and OS restrictions. If you don't want to use it exactly like how it's shown off in a tech demo, it stumbles and chafes just enough to break your workflow 😩
