100% this!

Also… How did I forget about that meme!? I will blame this on sleep deprivation and my 3y.o. son…

Sean Quinn | Support Mistgate on Kickstarter (link in bio)! @seanwquinn.bsky.social · Dec 4

I’ve been quiet on #Mistgate recently! We’re live and on Kickstarter, but the campaign will likely not successfully fund. It’s a shame, but also OK! I have contingencies. ⚔️

Life has been hectic lately, with work and family.

Oh, and the drama on X is appalling.

Seriously? Someone on X is LITERALLY arguing that gate keeping is good while at the same time complaining that someone is telling them they aren’t welcome.

What. The. Actual…

Sean Quinn | Support Mistgate on Kickstarter (link in bio)! @seanwquinn.bsky.social · Dec 4

Some users on X are making fools of themselves with their reactions to some content in the new D&D books. Case in point…

WOTC: *Introduces section on safety tools in D&D*
X: 😭 We’re uncomfortable! X! X! Our feelings are hurt!

Fucking seriously? Calm down.

This is unbelievably fucked. I don’t care how much of a prodigy this child is, a 14 y.o. (age of legal employment in Russia according to the featured article) does not have the maturity to manage a team let alone the experience to effectively understand business trade offs.

Hi! 👋 I'm Sean, author of Mistgate, a #DnD rules expansion and setting, which is not live on Kickstarter! Come and take a look! We've revised our reward tiers and gotten rid of Early Bird discounts in favor of applying all of those discounts to every tier!
