Hi Reader, Welcome back. Please, come in, sit down. We have a little brisket left over from Rosh Hashanah if you want some. It's really good. Red Raccoon Radio, the podcast for Red Raccoon Games in Bloomington, Illinois, just dropped a new episode, and I’m in it! You can catch it here. We talk about Raccoon Sky Pirates—a natural fit for them!—and my next game, Defy the Gods. Hear me in the hot seat, answering "Why should people be excited to hear from you?" Stick around for our discussion of how unconditionally our hobby embraces us, how wonderful that is, and how, unfortunately, it has a dark side when people hold on too tightly. (Looking at you, MTG Commander harassers.) Something I'd like to talk more about in the future. But the podcast is on the interwebs now. In more tangible news, my friend Ros came through for me and assembled all the remaining boxes of Raccoon Sky Pirates. This isn't Ros's first fulfillment rodeo—they've worked in warehouses. As soon as they sat down (at this very table!), they sized up my process and systematized it. I shoulda brought them in years ago. Thanks, Ros! You may have caught the words "all the remaining boxes." I’ve run out of dice, which means I’m out of complete games. I’ll get a few more dice in January, but until then— I have just 46 raccoon games left for the holidays. ​Indie Press Revolution still has a few hundred raccoons running around their shelves. But Raccoon Sky Pirates is currently their #1 top-selling game, so ... they’re going fast. Basically: If this would be the perfect gift for someone you know, order it soon. Even in January, I'll have just a few more box sets before Raccoon Sky Pirates sells out forever. Cheers, P.S. I have many more than 46 panicking raccoon pins. Treat yourself or get one for a friend! P.P.S. Happy New Year to all who celebrate! P.P.P.S. Happy International Raccoon Appreciation Day to all who celebrate! |

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...
