Annnnnnd mid century modern stuff is momentarily working! Man what a breath of fresh air this is.

Wall/exterior doodles for Keepsake County. Just looking at MCM and McMansions and Victorian houses for little bits and pieces to pull out and turn into new exteriors.

πŸ“£PSA for my fellow TTRPG creators: **AI generation disclosure on itch** Now on itch, your games have to be manually tagged (via a tick box in their edit page, after "description" and "tags") to show up in non-AI searches. Spread the news!

It's cool to imagine a universe where thinking deeply and critically about who you are, who you have been, and who you ultimately want to be come is wholly celebrated and supported, both for characters who do choose to change in all sorts of ways, and characters who are comfortable as they are.

Keepsake County was the recipient of several awards at Dreamhack ATL this year, as part of the SEIGE SILV-E Awards! Thank you, everyone who's offered feedback, played the demo, or said hello to us at a con! It was a delight to chat with you all. We're incredibly honored.
