Does anyone think these agentic-AI emails actually sound sincere? I read your blog post. I watched this video about your game. I liked this tip you gave about X or Y. Yeah, right. Dozens of them every day. A scourge. Block sender. Block sender. Block sender. It's muscle memory now.

Alright here goes.... Boundless is being crowdfunded in February, but here's a surprise: you can get the full game and play today! I worked closely with Backerkit to offer a new way for you to "reserve" your digital copy of the game at a big discount that would count towards the total fund goal!

Hot take: when you run a crowdfunder, you're obligated to update backers once a month until fulfilled. And you can't be (publicly) grumbly about it. Just pop in and make the update. Might be not-fun if you have no news or bad news, but them's the breaks. You opted-in to that responsibility.

Heard you like some base-building to go with your TTRPG? 👀 Current WIP of Mausworn's Settlement Sheet: Build your home, trade your wares, improve your community, endure the seasons 🐭🍂

Current draft for Mausworn's settlement sheet.

The sheet contains three tracks for shelter, hope, and fortune; a space for a market; a season tracker; a list of ongoing endeavors; a space to upgrade it with assets.

Finally a fully 3D printable tracker design I’m happy with. No hardware needed and adjustable dial tightness. Hopefully use this concept to make printable options available to locals we don’t ship too. Starforged version for initial test. Available free on Ironsworn discord server.

Played some Fate of the Fellowship yesterday with the fam. We lost (in the very shadow of Mount Doom!), but it's just a banger of a game. Ton of fun and so very, very thematic. Maybe the best LotR board game?

Episode 3 of my Ironsworn Legacies playtest is out now! Time has passed since Tessa & Farina let out the giant shadow wolf god, and they continue to pursue it in the wake of its destruction. In the coastal village of Fisher's Grove, negotiations go bad...
