I don’t think it’s a given and the dev has a proven track record.

…buuuuuutttt they did move to a much smaller userbase so I wonder how many ads he will need for sustainability.

Blades is one of the most often hacked games… There is an entire section on drive thru rpgs for “forged in the dark” games with different settings. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100226_0_0_0_0&src=fid100226

Police prefer that criminal cases are resolved by compelling a confession. If a woman is told by the police they have her period data, most people would crack in that situation. Whether it holds up in court is mostly irrelevant.

It should go without saying, but never talk to police and if you’re being interviewed, insist on invoking your 6th amendment right to an attorney and your 5th amendment right to remain silent. And don’t engage with anything the police say.

Not all country code top level domains were free, just a select few. And not everyone used free TLDs, just people with tight budgets who weren’t expecting to make money on their sites, as well as scammers and people who wanted to stay anonymous for other reasons.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It’s not speculative.

It’s very irregular for a country to take back top level domains. Even refusing to renew registrations is unheard of.

ML, tk, etc broke ground by offering free country code TLDs starting 10 years ago. This was possible until Meta sued Freenom this year for issuing domains to the majority of all sources phishing traffic.

Industry standard for typesetting is Adobe InDesign, which is always morally permissible to p*rate. A great free alternative is Scribus. And of course, Microsoft Word (paid), Google Docs (free), openoffice (free), LibreOffice (free) and OnlyOffice (free) are all usable for basic typesetting and can export to PDF.

There’s no real way to avoid it being a popularity contest.

They did advertise as rules-light. But with over 450 pages I guess it’s a lot of world building, maybe with a bit of a monster manual in there too.

There is a DnD tuned version of this book as well iirc.
