In last night's game, I threw three wickermen mechs at my players. One of them responded by summoning up the spirits of the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle and then sent the spirits to attack the mechs. 🤣

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Capitalism is so smart cuz if u have lots of disposable income, u hardly ever have to see ads but if u can only afford a $8 Netflix subscription boy does Chanel at Sephora have deals 4 u and your no money

This includes having made my desired gross income through my gaming, writing and crafting efforts. Having gotten Coven & Crucible: Beyond out. And finishing the edits for A Witch Is.

I did all that. It wasn't easy. And I'm proud of what I have done.

So I have a hard time celebrating my successes. Growing up my accomplishments were always dismissed or ignored. In light of that, I'm trying to get better at feeling proud when I do what I set out to.

This year I've managed to do everything I tasked myself with at the beginning of the year.

So, this hasn't been the worst event I've vended at all year, but it is in the top 3.

Since moving I've managed to do more events in a month and a half than in the 3 years I was in Wyoming. Even so, there are less attendees and they are spending less money. All my vendor friends are reporting the same. Being a small business or artisan right now is tough.

Running Coven & Crucible tonight for the playtest group. This is a game that I've run for 4 years and we're finally wrapping up the chronicle. We're starting a new one next year. I feel so grateful that people are willing to give up their Friday nights for this game.

There's also always the worry that once you hit your goal in your campaign that you won't get anymore pledges.

I know that some folks like to wait to see if a campaign is going to fund before they pledge. But the worry is still there.

Thank you!

I want to be clear, I don't begrudge the big campaigns for getting their funding. And I understand that they get a lot of help from marketing companies. But, yeah, it can be frustrating at times.
November 10, 2025 at 7:01 PM
It doesn't help that the algorithm rewards those kinds of campaigns, pushing them to the front pages, so it skews expectations.
November 10, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Running a #ttrpg crowdfunding campaign is a ride and humbling experience. You see all these wildly successful campaigns that raise six figures in like 15 minutes and you have a little game that slowly, but steadily makes its goal and you can feel like that isn't a success.

100% funded! Our little solo-play #ttrpg is going to be a reality.

Now to see if we can hit our stretch goals!

We're up to 30 spam/scam promotional messages since we launched the campaign. All of these have come through email instead of messages on Kickstarter.

It's frustrating for my ADHD, first daughter brain, that craves stimulation, to get the messages. I want attention, just not that kind.

I woke up this morning to see that we're 51% funded! If you want to read about our dealings with spammers and scammers and see some of the artwork that will be in the book click on the link:

And it's live! Yes, I launched my ttrpg of cozy witchcraft on Halloween. It just makes sense. 😀 Rewards start at $7 for the pdf and $15 for the hard cover.

Finished the edits to the final proof of A WITCH IS. You all, this is a good book!

Going through the proof of A WITCH IS and made the comment that I hate my writing because it is pedestrian. A friend insists that it is, in fact, accessible. I'm trying to hold on to that idea as I get through the last 100 pages.
