Greetings, New Songbirds

Hello there! A lot of you (over $300,000 worth!) picked up the Games For Gaza bundle, contributing to a pool of aid that will go directly to Palestinians in this moment of incredible violence they're forced to endure. From me, Thursday - thank you. It's something.

Songbirds 3e is an elegant, light-weight dungeon fantasy game about adventurers given a second shot at life in the name of mending their broken world. You can pick it up for free here (though it deserves your money!), and will need it to play in the Golden Isles. Songbirds has a defiant, queer heart that completely won me over (it's my GOTY for 2023), a work that enamored me enough to inspire this supplement you now own (and a few other looks at the same world by dear friends) as a farewell to the setting we've spent the last two years playing in. Where giant machines once went to war and empires burned, now sit flying islands and the quaint towns that cling like barnacles to their sides... our fictional home, open to you <3

This charity bundle also includes a few other offerings of mine: a retro-cyberpunk/horror microgame (199X: INFEST); a diceless, GMless, slice-of-life game about queer fallen angels (Feathers); and my expansions for two games by other creators in this bundle - one adding a nonviolent emergency responder to Beam Saber's all-consuming mecha war (The Lifeline), the other adding ancient, magical mecha to the science-fantasy future of Songs for the Dusk (Armor Anima).

I hope these games bring you joy. I hope we live to see a world where Palestinian beauty and joy gets the same spotlight currently occupied by their pain, where there is freedom from the river to the sea. Don't let your $10+ donation here be the end of your help - lend your voice to those who need it in this moment.

Thank you again, and stay safe out there!
