a sooner star

Just learned about Bull Press, a tabletop publisher that focuses on games that are prison compliant (no hardcover, no dice, no maps), and their catalogue seems sick as hell. Def gonna pick smth up when I get paid next. They do a lot of donation work with books for prisoners programs!

As mentioned, Bull Press donate playbooks to prisons out of their own pocket. If you know somebody in prison you'd like to refer to receive books, you can email them with requests.

i do not regret buying a hardback but my thoughts DID shift over the day. I did love it, but i also feel like there were many areas in which it was just....narrow. the approach to gender based violence and the way it intersected with transition really missed the mark for me. the discussion of ptsd was very clearly A Metaphor On Purpose. there was no discussion of racism aside from anti-robot sentiment and while I thought the latter was handled in a really fun way, it just lacked a consistent sense of intersectionality for me. it also feels like it was at points slightly too goofy a premise for the author theirself to take seriously, which was a disappointment to me.
