Thank you to everyone who's supported the campaign, either by
contributing or sharing your enthusiasm. We've passed the initial
funding goal which means we're making the zine and our
printing/editing costs are covered. We don't have any stretch goals
because any additional funds are what goes to making sure me and Mol
are paid for everything we're doing.
Doing anything Friday?
I'll be appearing on The Weekly Scroll to discuss the game! It will
streamed live and then up in podcast format. Check out the relevant
links for the Weekly Scroll here.

Figured I'd also use this update to shout out some other projects
currently funding that I like the look of. (This is cross-posted from
the Rat Wave Newsletter so if you're not already a subscriber why
don't go join the mailing list here.)
Inspired by death game media like Battle Royale, fight for your life
for the entertainment of the rich and powerful in this
narrative-driven RPG
Death Game looks gorgeous and is written by Laurie O'Connel, the
creator of Hieronymus and Lichcraft. Full disclosure I am on board as
a stretch goal writers for Death Game (gonna do a fucked up private
hospital) but I swear down I'd be recommending it anyway.
Inspired by Life is Strange, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Persona,
as well as the philosophy of Butler and Foucault, CONVICT-ION is a
tabletop role-playing game that uses a modified version of the
Belonging Outside Belonging system. It's by WH Arthur whose prior
work I've found really enjoyable.
A haunted-house-in-space game, about the crew of a space station
being haunted by an extradimensional "ghost". Players
attempt to interpret the entity's cryptic warnings, the only thing
that can save them from a looming catastrophe.
The game reimagines the Me, the Singularity visual novel by
Supercircuit, adapting the art, themes, and plot of that game to a
tabletop roleplaying game.
Through fjords and mountains, through wondrous realms and
rainbow bridges, between the mundane, the fantastical and the
divine, From Midgard To Eternity is a solo roleplaying game about
seeking glorious death after a life full of deeds that defy belief.
Created by Armanda (Paranoid Android, Grandmothership, Once and
Again) and Hipólita (Cantrip, RAD, Baka Mitai) it looks like an
exciting collaboration between two really brilliant designers.
Ritual Magic for Besties is a tabletop roleplaying game for two-to-six players, using a deck of tarot cards. You play a group of magic users, in an urban fantasy setting, gathering together to cast a ritual spell.
