raccoons – launch!


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 all. Center stage of the Kickstarter is the big, bombastic, brimming-with-components Total Chaos Edition. It looks like this:

And it comes with all this:

That's not AI-generated. It's an actual prototype I got in the mail recently.

I know.

It's extra.

I'm making a pledge tier that's just the original game. So, if that's all you want, you don't have to back the Total Chaos Edition.

But I think you may want to.

For the six raccoon dice alone. Or maybe how it's infinitely replayable. Or the hex tiles that chart a new course across the neighborhood every time, the illustrated disaster cards, poker chips you can write your loot on, custom maps drawn by architects, or the gonzo animal portaits by Robbi A Burns.

I'm not even getting into how much of the game looks like it was stolen from other games.

You'll see.

We're launching these raccoons in just a little over a week! It's coming up so soon! Sign up here to know when it goes liveβ€”early backers get a big discount!

P.S. https://raccoonskypirates.com will take you right there. Go. Sign up. Getcher raccoons. It's better than trying to pet Reggie.

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. 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...
