[Beth & Angel] 21st-24th Prompt, What's Next?

🏃 Progress: 12 zines down, 16 zines behind (FINAL TALLY)

LOL whoops even more. Last week the headline should've said "11 zines down", but I had 12 there. And now it's accurately 12 as I finished Into the Dadverse last week on a stream. I still think April 19th is realistically possible, but it's not a guarantee, it's a goal :D 

I also wanted to add this image below. As the final prompt was revealed, here's a list of all of the prompts along with our progress on them! 

The ones highlighted in green are done! 

Streaming

Our streaming schedule (seen right here) has been changed: I didn't factor in that Wednesdays are when we clean the house, so I removed our Wednesday streams. We're also cancelling today's stream as it's the final day for the Logic & Lore Kickstarter campaign by Weird Giraffe Games, so I'm staying on top of all of the public contact methods to get quick replies back for last-day backers.

People have been incredibly helpful, and I make sure to give credit to them in the credits of the zines I make. If you want to help out too, join a stream! That link above for the streaming schedule is our Twitch page so you can check out our live streams (and streams from the last week) there too!

The Prompt for the 21st - 24th: The FINAL Prompt

In our final prompt poll, our paid Patrons voted, and here are the results:

Option 35 won! LOL I cannot believe it. This was a joke prompt as I cleared the text of an option and Google Forms added that. I was going to delete it but re-added it (and gave credit to Google for the suggestion) and then it WON. So that'll be fun 🤣 I did NOT have "prompt suggested by Google made into two zines" on my bingo card. 

My initial thoughts are still the same: when options 1-34 fail, it's time for... option 35! Currently I'm thinking of a collection of horrible-but-maybe-final-resort options for different catastrophes. Like in a zombie apocalypse, maybe option 35 is to move to Australia where all of the nightmare animals and bugs will easily eradicate the zombies, and where there's an ocean surrounding you.

I do want to give a big shoutout to everyone who recommended prompts, though. We love all the prompts in that image, and I can guarantee at least some of them will be turned into zines when we're looking for inspiration. And thanks to everyone who voted in any of the polls, too!

What's Next?

Well, you won't get an email every 3-5 days with an update, that's for sure 🤣 From here on out I plan to put out updates for big things, like if we have a special event going on, or when we finish our Zineuary zines, etc.

If you want to be more in the loop, ask questions, or check on our status anytime you can:

• Join our Discord server! We share it with Weird Giraffe Games, our stuff is under the "Quirky Bird Games" section. But we chat everywhere there :D You can also message me directly at bethmakesgames on Discord
• Become a patron (even a free one) to get more regular updates from us in your email inbox. You'll also get four games when you join and at least one game or zine each month 🥳 
• Email me at CataclysmicKnight@gmail.com. I only check my email once or twice a day and sometimes put emails off, but I promise I'll reply when I have the spoons/spell slots to do so. 

Note: I'm skipping the Spotlight and News sections as I don't have anything :D

🔎 Now Crowdfunding: Not Yet by Taylor Navarro and Poorna M.

(That's not my image, of course)

I'm so glad I found this! I was about to give up and promote the Armello board game (which also looks cool, and the video game was fun!) but then I found Not Yet. 

From the description (I could be wrong, don't quote me lol) you each play a character living a full life. You're destined to be romantic partners, but will you ever meet? Will you become a couple?

I loved that the game is about more than the relationship. It sounds like you each get to live awesome lives of your own, which is wonderful because romance and romantic relationships are NOT required to be an amazing person with an awesome life. But then there's also that "MAYBE it'll happen" potential that's so interesting too.

I also love that you can play this straight or queer. I've seen some games that encourage or force one or the other, or that have different versions for types of couples, and it's great that this allows for total flexibility there. 

The campaign page is here. And if you back it, toss a comment their way, there aren't any even though they've crushed their goal!

🙋‍♀️ Your Turn: We Hope You Have a Great Day!

No question this time, just some well-wishes for you! 🥳
