Daily reminder of my ongoing Kickstarter.
The crowdfunding period is only 15 days in total because the majority of the pledges came either in the first or last week in my past Kickstarter campaigns.

Have received some frustrating news about the details of a contract renewal with a long-term client, and feeling pretty gutted about it.
I'm not out of work or anything, but in practical terms it means I'll likely have to find an additional client, which means I'll have less time to make games. 😔

In the new year I'm focusing a bit more on 'A Dark Star To Steer By', my 19th century tall ship RPG using the D6 Those Dark Places rules.
It's written, 27K words with full adventure and pregens, so I think my next step is creating a PDF for public playtesting.
Pitch - ALIEN meets The Onedin Line.

You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too.

Going to be real for a min, I haven’t sold a single one of these new charms yet. 😓 Not saying this to get sympathy sales (tho I wouldn’t mind haha) just want to share that even if you see a lot of likes on shop posts, it doesn’t always translate to sales! It’s tough to take a chance on new products!

I forgot to say yesterday (because it took me a while to track down the box I'd packed my brain away into), but I had a good time at Dragonmeet!
It was particularly nice to meet so many people, both familiar and new, and chat with you all about games and horror and mosaics and whatnot. 💜

Hello from Dragonmeet!
I am slightly overtired but I am PRESENT.
Find me over at stand E15 – next to Chaosium's looming illuminated banners – to acquire games!
I'm also giving away free facts about the London Underground and mosaic-making. 😂
