...and Here We Used to Fly by @kurtrefling.bsky.social and @leafydragongames.bsky.social still has a special place in my heart as a golden-tinged exploration of nostalgia and childhood.

Go get some games and support indie artists!

#Crownfell is an asymmetric, abstract, 2-player strategy card game that is live on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social!

No stretch goals, except for this: The more people get it, the lower the price goes *for everyone*.

Add-ons include a playmat & solo expansion.

Infinite Paths is elegant, flexible, and a great entry point to the wider world of solo RPGs. Using a single d10, you can tell a variety of stories in your own world or one of our custom settings. Check it out and spread the word!

A funny thing about running a crowdfunding campaign is that you spend months actively planning it in excruciating detail and then somehow it still sneaks up on you???
