When I started a blog about dungeon stuff in a love-language of 3×5 index cards, I just used the first tool that I found, and that was Substack. But I’m moving, to blog.3×5arcana.com. I’m going to tell you why.

You don’t need to subscribe in a new place or whatever.

So it’s well known that Substack has not responded well to its Nazi problem. They just keep refusing to kick out actual-ass Nazis, and they make money off of them. It’s not great.

For a long time I was like… my buddhist dad has a substack. Articles of Interest and my gay catholic cousin have substacks; it’s a piece of infrastructure. We can’t stop using roads because fascists sometimes drive; it does nothing, it goes nowhere.

But like… I write dungeon stuff for the OSR/NSR community. It’s a community that has has had to do its own work to kick out Nazi elements. I’m grateful to the people who did that work. I like it here.

So when a gentle friend kindly provided me with a bunch of resources for leaving if I wanted to (“you should probably leave substack”) I was like yeah dog alright let’s go. So I’m moving.

And look I don’t know if everyone should leave substack or whatever, and I’m not trying to say that you, or my dad, or my cousin, or Avery Trufelman or anyone else are bad for using it. I just would rather be elsewhere.

Anyway. On to dungeon stuff!

My ongoing promise to you, dear reader, is to provide you with a gameable index card with every post. So, without further ado:
