Hi Reader, Welcome! It's good to see you again. Please, sit down. All the irises are in bloom, so I've put a few in a cut-glass vase. Spring is in its full glory. It's on a beautiful day like today that I had to cancel the original Defy the Gods Kickstarter. It just wasn't going to hit its goal. Not the way I'd set it up. Valiant backers (like you) kept pledging, even as it became clear it wasn't going to clear the tree-line. I admit it, I got cocky. My raccoon empire made me proud. I imagined printing a lot more copies of Defy the Gods than I really needed to. So I'm relaunching soon—probably in about three weeks, but as soon as I practically can—with a more modest funding goal. I know we'll hit it. Especially if you and the other backers come back. Can you tell how much I want this game of queer sword & sorcery adventure and romance to become a reality? How much I want to put it in your hands? Canceling is tough, but it's all about the experience you can have with the game. I want you to get to play it. So. We're going to finish it. The new Kickstarter page is at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hecticelectron/defy-the-gods-rpg. Please sign up now so you don't miss out! Cheers, P.S. Last Monday, I sold my last copy of the Raccoon Sky Pirates box set! All physical raccoons are away—the end of an era. But you can still get the complete PDF! P.P.S. The new home for the Defy the Gods Kickstarter is here—go check it out! |

Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. Make yourself comfortable. On the table, I've put a pint glass with bugleweed and butterweed blooms. They'll take over your garden if you don't get them out—especially the butterweed. But they're cheery for all that. As the Defy the Gods Kickstarter continues, life here has returned to normal. Sort of. There's a rhythm. I'm posting to social media every day about Defy the Gods, which is its own kind of discipline/fun. I get to share details from the...
Hi Reader, It's good to see you again. Please, sit down—let me move these stacks of paper. And these. I'll put them—somewhere. On the sofa. As you can see, this place has been a hive of activity since the Kickstarter launched on Tuesday. I meant to get together with you before now, but there's just been so much to do. Oh hey, didn't I tell you? The Kickstarter is live! If you haven't already, please go check it out—including all the art I'm showing off there. Yesterday, Jay Dragon released a...
Hi Reader, Lovely to see you. Please, come in, sit down. On the table, I have a terracotta vase filled with chamomile flowers, sacred to Inanna, and Mesopotamian irises. The land of Gilgamesh has taken over the game table, as you can see. Because the Kickstarter for Defy the Gods launches on Tuesday! If you haven't yet signed up to follow the campaign, please do at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hecticelectron/defy-the-gods. Then come back. This book got a lot more personal than I...
