All Sorts of Announcements!

A New YouTube Episode and a New Reddit!

I’m delighted to announce that today I released the 11th episode of Arbiter of Worlds. This episode’s topic is how to handle the politicization of gaming. It’s actually quite a personal topic for me. As many of my long-time fans are aware, I was cancelled over politics some years back. For many years, I was distraught over this event; but lately I have come to terms with it. It's just the way the world is now. Everything’s politicized.

So given that’s how the world is now, what should a great gamemaster do? That’s what I discuss in today’s episode. (Even if you don’t watch the video I hope you chuckle at the thumbnail. I thought the image of a person about to self-immolate was just about perfect for an episode where I bring up politics.)

I’m also delighted to announce that the Autarch community has come together under my wise leadership¹ to create an Autarch subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/Autarch/. I’m exceptionally grateful to KiritosWings, NorthScorpion, and the other Redditors who put this together.

I haven’t even officially announced it yet (well, I guess I just did) and it’s already chock full of great posts. Redditors have scoured the Autarch Discord to find links to all things ACKS! Want a list of all the ACKS-related blogs on the net? They are compiled them in this post. Want to know who has made third-party content for ACKS? Check out the Autarch third-party content creators in this post. If you’re a Reddit user, I hope you’ll subscribe to the subreddit and get engaged!
