Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. Have some fizzy water. The irises are blooming, and M put some in a silver pitcher. So much else is blooming, too, but we'll let them grow. It's taken me a while to do game night because I'm recovering from surgery. This has meant enforced lying around, and that's a great opportunity to just soak it all in. I recently listened to Quinns Smith's interview of Jeremy Strandberg, author of Stonetop. Stonetop's Dungeon World-based mechanics don't exactly sing to me, but I think I have to get it because of its rich Iron Age-inspired fairies and myths. Jeremy takes an anthropological approach to fantasy, connecting every element of his game to every other. You unlock its—overpowered, kind of terrifying—magic items by completing various actions, sometimes over weeks in the story. Recently, I released Defy the Gods on Itch.io and DriveThruRPG. I also opened up the physical version for sale on my website, and Plus One Exp has started selling it too. And I sent the standard edition to Indie Press Revolution, who will list it soon. It's everywhere! What's not everywhere: the 20-some copies of the gold foil-wrapped special edition not yet claimed. Get yours soon, or wait for the stars to align for a reprint. And looking at my bank account, those stars ain't gonna align for a while. If I have any left by the time Origins rolls around in late June, I expect to sell out of them there! If you backed the game and haven't gotten your book yet, please let me know! We've sent out everything except the drawings for top-tier backers and the PDF of our stretch goals. More soon! —Chrys |

Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. I put stalks of crown-pink in a jar on the table. If you can see them. Don't mind the smoke. The raccoons are in the back yard, getting their ship together. Tomorrow morning at 9 am Eastern, the Kickstarter for Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition will finally launch. I made a hilarious video for it. I can't post it here, because it's too big. But you can see it on the Kickstarter page tomorrow morning. Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man, narrated...
Hi Reader, Whew! What a time it's been since we last got together. Unconscionably, I swiped a stalk of Lady's Gloves from a neighbor's hellstrip and put them in a milk bottle on the table. They look magical, but it's still theft. If you've been following along, you may think the Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter should have launched by now. Yesterday, even. But a Kickstarter is always more work than I remember, and let's be fair, I was pushing too hard in not enough time. So now the Dumpster...
Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. I had some flowers on the table, but this raccoon ate them. I call him Reggie. Careful, he bites. If you started coming to game night because you backed the original Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter, then this game night is especially for you. Because Raccoon Sky Pirates is coming back. The legendary box set, all black and white, that came in a little mailer box, will be available in the upcoming, imminent Kickstarter. It looked like this: But that's not...
