(Reminder, none of them were there legally either, the entire encampment was illegal)

Still a long way to go

While I've been asking for small pledges, there are some 'rewards' for larger ones, for example you can sponsor an episode and have your commercial features or you can get a credit as the producer of an episode

We've just released an update to The Accursed, my 5e class, that brings it in line with 2024 rules. A lot of the changes are stylistic but there are some small buffs to keep it in line with 2024's power level.
It's also going to be 50% off for a week, so check it out: itch.io/s/161119/upd...

The cover is actually a stock picture that I did a background for. The internal art is by Lidija Raletic, who I don't think is on bsky but you can find her work (including some stunning landscapes) here: www.artstation.com/lidijaraletic

I'm very lucky to find such talented folks to work with!
