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, We're into the last four days of the Kickstarter for Raccoon Sky Pirates! And it's been a wild ride. We hit the funding goal in just four hours. In the 26 days that followed, we unlocked: Black Flag Friday, the expansion where you raid a big-box store right before Black Friday shoppers rush in. A VTT package to play Raccoon Sky Pirates online. The Haunted House expansion as an add-on for all. The July 4th expansion, where you sail across the National Mall and raid the White House...

Lin Codega's Over/Under Diary: Day 01

Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in. It's getting blowy out there. On the table, we've got flame-orange dahlias. The Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter is doing well beyond my wildest hopes. But, for once, I'm not here to talk about that. I recently read Lin Codega's diaries of their experience playing Over/Under, the massive, 30-day game on Discord that started a year ago. Here's what I said about it on Bluesky: Me when O/U was happening: Man I wish I had time for this. Me after it ended: Man I...

Hi Reader, It's All-Raccoons Eve! Tomorrow at noon Eastern, assuming nothing wacky happens in the meantime, the Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter will launch! I've just finished (whew) the free Haunted House Map that goes to everyone who backs in the first 24 hours. I hope you'll be one of them! Here's a low-res screenshot from the first floor. There's a second floor, an attic and of course a basement. It has its own Disaster Track and over a hundred cursed items to steal! If you haven't...
