June 27, 2024Future Proof Podcast 044 - Not Some Sort of Weird-Ass Ad
It's been a while, and summer is here! Summer sales are literally right around the corner, and this episode brings news of our doings over the spring. You can listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript.
In the episode, we discuss:
Our stressful but successful server migration.
The coolness that is Rosette Diceless, which will be on sale in late July on DriveThruRPG. The "Still Waters Run Deep" mini campaign we mention can be found on YouTube and The Great Molasses Flood mini campaign is part of Tabletop Garden.
Other summer sales are imminent, including Steam and itch.io sales! We'll post when those kick off on the blog, cohost, and twitter.
And last, but never least, a plug for our free one-page tabletop roleplaying system "Awaiting the End", a game about a group of people in a terrible Place awaiting an impending Doom.

Kotaku's early reporting covers much of the industry's confusion and concerns

November 25, 2022Future Proof Podcast 036 - Ooh, That Looks Good!
Autumn has arrived in our hemisphere, and we bring with us some studio updates. Please note that we recorded this episode before the Colorado Springs shooting, so it's not mentioned in the ep. Right-wing bigotry and violence is an attempt to make us all afraid to be our authentic selves. Trans Liberation Now!
You can listen below, read the transcript, or watch the video.
We talk about:
A recent mini-retreat we took
Social media updates, with the recent purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk: we're now also on cohost, although we aren't entirely sure what the right way to be in that space is
Upcoming sales:
We're currently in the Itch.io November Creator Day Sale: our games are 60% off and itch.io takes no cut of the sales on the first day.
The Steam Autumn Sale is also on, and our games are 50% off.
The TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Florida Bundle will be starting soon, and we'll blog and tweet about it.
Steam has publicly posted their upcoming major seasonal sales, which is weird, but here you go.
