    <h2>Burrow into your new favorite cartoon&mdash;starring&nbsp;you!</h2>
    <p>Discover your inner cartoon-self in <em>Blister Critters</em>—a TTRPG full of <strong>Saturday-morning</strong> action. In this innovative <strong>eco-apocalyptic</strong> game, you play as an animal who wields bizarre mutations to survive in a <strong>vast, cruel suburbia</strong> populated by fellow Critters and feral Beasts. The Grit System powering <em>Blister Critters</em> takes minutes to learn, and the Critter-specific rules focus on <strong>player agency</strong> and group discovery in the shadow of humanity—whether gnarly or zany in tone.

    <h2>Mine the void&mdash;or undermine the Co.</h2>
    <p><em>Stillfleet</em> is a politically charged TTRPG set far into the superfuture. Using the unique, highly flexible Grit System, players take on the role of <strong>voidminers</strong>—salvagers working for the venal Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters (<strong>the Co.</strong>) who explore ruined spacecraft and earth-like planets that have been cut off from Terra for centuries. The Co.’s headquarters, the alien space station nicknamed <strong>Spindle</strong>, brims with timespace gates called <strong>stiffworks</strong>—and with the vile secrets of the Co.’s directors…

    <h2>Dive deep behind the GM screen</h2>
    <p>Hosted by <strong>Chris Pickett</strong> (the creator of <em>Danse Macabre</em>) and <strong>Wythe Marschall</strong> (the creator of <em>Stillfleet</em>), <em>Why We Roll</em> is fun and practical in tone, combining the banter of a shoot-the-breeze chat with a cerebral unboxing of specific TTRPG elements (plus a dash of actual play). Chris and Wythe take a curious and ecumenical approach to game design, inviting everyone at the table to consider why we roll.
