Sometimes folks ask me if Shawn is /always/ like this. Or if he writes me poetry. The answer is yes, and yes. And I'm dusting off this gem from the 2020 grocery madhouse, texted to me over the course of two. You have to read to the end to UNDERSTAND my life. 🤭🖤

Honey Tongue, a fable of Ilrien. Once was a cockerel, fair of feather and fine, who lived outside the walls of the palace. A wild cockerel, you see. Throughout the days he would listen to the sounds of raucous parties on the other side of the wall, smell the food and the merriment upon the air.

Dead Belt is our best-selling game year over year. It’s a solo game that can be played episodically on your lunch-break. It‘s mean, but fair. Rewards system mastery and incremental upgrades. It’s an easy game to pick up and start without needing to commit. Dead Net is that but bigger.

Hack. Churn. Survive. Repeat. Dead Net, our solo game of high-tech lowlifes pulling paydata from dead megacorps, is coming to Kickstarter. Sign up or miss out, Reggie.

The PPWR changes mean our next Kickstarter won't be shipped to EU countries, because we're small enough that working with distributors has rarely made sense at a fiscal level, and I'm sure the new regs are fixing to reinforce that by making it even more prohibitive at micro scale.

Okay so I'm getting more into solo/journalling games. Do you have a favorite "universal" resource for them? If I want to 'roll' up a random character — background, looks, quirks? Locations? The sort of thing you could tag onto virtually any game to help push things a bit further.

If you can't contribute (and I get it, I do), I beg you to share and boost and spread this post so maybe it can reach more people, who would want to help if they just knew one of ours was in trouble.

Despite support from famous friends in TTRPGs like @forbeck.com and @owenkcstephens.bsky.social, this fundraiser just isn't generating the resources I need to survive. I'm not sure why. No matter how much they post about it, it doesn't translate into donations. gofund.me/0a3abf909

A bunch of folks in our Patron Discord showed an interest in joining a play by post game, and OH BOI, this is explicitly my shit. So, I had everyone submit a wishlist and vibe check, and I'm using my absolutely vile number of years of experience with pbp to make a game that fits everyone's yens.
