two-day shipping on raccoons and a jukebox musical
Hi Reader,
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Come in, warm up. We've got a full-court press against the cold: one pot of hot cocoa and another of Earl Grey tea. And here, a warm, fuzzy husky waiting to lean on you. He's shedding these days, so you'll have an extra insulating layer of dog fur on you by the time you leave. I apologize on Udo's behalf.
I can't believe this is my first game night with you since the New Year. Where does the time go?
But exciting things are happening!
- ​Raccoon Sky Pirates is on Amazon! I'm waiting for the raccoons to spread out through a two-day shipping warehouse and pack themselves off with someone's mini-fridge.
- I'm building a new website using Shopify.
- I gave a presentation about Defy the Gods on Showcase Zero, a sort of round-up of games in development for a great playtesting community called Playtest Zero. There are some sharp people there, thinking big game-design thoughts.
- I got several rounds of great feedback on Defy the Gods, and I'm working on the draft I'll make public.
And, In the "happening now" category, my friend Lyla Fujiwara, who's the developmental editor for Defy the Gods, is launching a Kickstarter tomorrow for her karaoke role-playing game called Jukebox!
You and your friends star in a musical of your own making, and you belt out numbers to define the turning points in your shared story. It looks like a lot of fun. Dicebreaker even listed it among the top RPGs coming out this year that you should play!
Fortunately for me, you don't have to be a good singer to have a good time with it. 😅 I'm looking forward to it!
Cheers,
Chris
P.S. If you buy Raccoon Sky Pirates on Amazon, please leave a 5-star review! It greatly helps how visible the product is on that weird site.
Everlasting, Neverending Game Night

Hi Reader, Welcome! Please, come in, into the A/C. On the table, I've put bunches of honeysuckle in a jam jar. We used to pull the flowers apart and suck the juice from them. Today, in the most Raccoon Sky Pirates result possible, the ship carrying the Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter exploded before making it halfway to its destination. That is, I canceled the campaign. s.If you backed it, thank you! And I'm sorry I had to cancel. If you didn't back it, no worries. I'll retool and come back...
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...
