ALL THE AMAZON FREEBIES ARE SPOKEN FOR!
I just got back from visiting my mom and, well, I now have a folder of 500+ emails from folks eager to get anything at Amazon's expense, on top of the many I already dispatched earlier today. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure we don't have that much stuff left in Amazon's warehouses! I'm going to fill the requests in the order they were received as long as I can, but I'm afraid if you …

Free Games & Accessories! At Amazon's Expense
Posted: Wed, 21 Jan 11:00:00 -0600
UPDATE: ALL THE AMAZON FREEBIES ARE SPOKEN FOR! SORRY!There are free games at the bottom of this ... stick with me.
As everyone knows, Amazon.com is at best a lousy business partner and more often a hostile adversary for small businesses that have to work with it.
Without going into the details, I'll just say that their bait and switch on a Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) promotion has cost us a huge bunch of money, and I only get gaslighting and …

Day of Truth and Freedom, Jan. 23
Posted: Mon, 19 Jan 09:00:00 -0600
Minnesota labor unions and other community leaders have called for January 23 to be a “Day of
Truth and Freedom.” They ask Minnesota residents not to work, shop,

our doors on January 23rd. Our warehouse will not be open
for shipping or receiving. Our employees are compensated on an hourly
basis; we will pay them for a full 8-hour workday. We ask …

Scholarship Inspires Adventure
Posted: Thu, 15 Jan 11:03:00 -0600
I admit, I’m a
sucker for medieval scholarship. When a post on BlueSky alerted me to
an article by Mohamed Qassiti
about the Liber pantegni, a medieval Latin translation of a
seminal Arabic work about medicine, I immediately started thinking
about how to use this for our family Ars Magica saga. An
article by Monica Green about this work and its translator, Constantinus Africanus, gave me
more ideas.

5 Year Olds CAN Gamemaster!
Posted: Sat, 10 Jan 11:03:00 -0600
Magical Kitties Save the Day was actually my kids' first and favorite long-running RPG campaign, so I thought I'd re-share my blog post about that since it's new this year to New Gamemaster Month. This post is circa Magical Kitties' first Kickstarter in 2019. It even talks about how they started GMing at ages 8 and 5! Enjoy.

Library Rescue by Replay Workshop
Posted: Sun, 04 Jan 11:03:00 -0600
Renovations meant culling, moving, and storing the journals collection at the Univ of MN Duluth's library.

Our own Replay Workshop came to the rescue, diverting the plastic bins from landfill and shredding them to be re-made into game accessories!Katie MacDonald, a library staffer working on the project, reflected that “Working with Replay Workshop seemed like a …
