Fantasy in My Backyard is an urban fantasy world-building TTRPG funding during #ZineMonth 2026 on Backerkit! I'm delighted to layout this project.
Using a city map and a deck of cards, players uncover a magical hidden world in their very own neighborhoods. 🧵

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

We've passed 2k! That means we're 4/5ths of the way to being fully funded.
Exceeding the goal would mean more art, less financial strain, and a portion of profit donated to ACLU (if we profit, that is).

The art form that I do is comics. I think my ideas apply to your art forms as well
1. Get a pencil and a pad
1a. The pad costs $1.29 from the pharmacy and the pencil is free if you go into a library. I think you can just grab one, they won’t chase you

Unfortunately, my donation goal hasn't budged since the last time I posted it. I need to pick up $35 worth of medication today, so if you enjoy my work and you're able to toss a few bucks my way, I'd appreciate it.

We're over halfway funded now!! I'm stoked about it :)
We could definitely still use your backing, if you're looking for a fantastic TTRPG where you use a real map to uncover a hidden, magical world.
I'd love to play this again and again, particularly if we're using a map of my hometown
