Happy Friday! We need just $1,150 more to reach our funding goal. So we might just do it today! If you haven’t pledged yet, _you_ can push us over the top. Ensure this book becomes a reality! Get some queerness in your sword & sorcery and vice versa.

Decided to get more stuff by Van Vogt since I'm reading The Beast and it's an interesting book.

I can't help but wonder if I should be writing this novelette in English rather than Italian

In Defy the Gods, you play a silver-tongued Sailor, chaos-loving Sorcerer, deadly Sword, fugitive Revenant, immortal-sworn Vessel or wild-raised Wolfling. Each has their own unique talents, flaws & arc of glorious doom. Read more about them here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Dooms in 1 post: If you roll too high, you mark 🔥. Max out your Fire Track & likely get a Doom. Like Epithets, they describe who you are, but in your most severe aspect. Plus they overwrite your Epithets. When you eclipse all your Epithets w/ Dooms, your PC becomes an NPC. tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods

This is a Bronze Age Sword and Sorcery PbtA game built around misfits defying the World Forces, trying to balance monstrous power and human relationships.

More wild creatures drawn by @sheydgarden.bsky.social—a richly decorated lamassu, a lesser sphinx (that little-known, lynx-sized animal w/ a monkey's face & dangerous wit) & a mushussu. Inspired by the zoological/ethnographic reports by @seandapon.bsky.social. See more at tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods!

Take on the forces of fate and the powers that be in Defy The Gods, a new PbtA title from @hecticelectron.bsky.social. @newsnerd.bsky.social checks out this unique take on "sword and sorcery" in his latest preview:

Defy the Gods draws on folklore & myth of Mesopotamia. For Gilgamesh's bull of heaven, @theveryworstthing.bsky.social made lightning flash from his flanks. The manticore is from ancient Persia. Kanesha gave her tail both venomous spines & a scorpion's sting. See more at tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods

The fact that this has not already been fully funded is absolutely criminal, this project needs all the love possible
