Death Race against the Patriarchy

I was going to do something else for this weeks aggregate, but when a bros' product drops, that is the time to shill it.

Death Race against the Patriarchy

besides the obligatory link, I'd like to talk about my own experiences in his journey.

It all started with a contest.

The Great Ryan Macklin did a contest where he wanted us to do a car racing contest.  Details are below.

I, of course, did Drevrpg, and did a silly little skill montage for the fun of it.

One of the stipulations was to judge one of them.

However, we read over the other articles and got a serious kick out of one in particular,

So we ran the game, and we're still not sure we did it right,but man was it fun.

This experience fuelled my bro to get involved in a writing clinic where he was a whirlwind of writing activity.

He then presented his opus to myself and a few other close knit friends where we edited it.

I will give my friend full kudos for doing such a product.  It is an original product that takes a serious concept and manages to give it emotional heft.

May it be the beginning of a wonderful career. :)

Noisy Person Cards - or how to get comfortable in being silly in public

 I heard about it recently on the tome show and if you want a fun gateway game to having fun in making silly voices, this is for you. :)

There's a free deck on the kickstarter, but honestly, I'm backing this. :)

I haven't had a chance to look too deeply, but it was recommended highly by a friend of mine.

best I can tell, it tries to fill in a lot of holes.
