Getting older is a lot less annoying if you think of it as distance traveled around the sun.

Of course you're tired, you've got 3.25 billion miles on you!

It's happening!
The books have arrived! Glatisant is a physical book now!

They really look amazing, the color is stellar, and the cover paper has a really nice feel to it. I can't wait for you all to get your hands on these!

1/4: I didn’t expect these last few hours to be so tense! It feels like we’re racing the clock to $10K by 4 pm 🕓. That last stretch goal and the five-figure threshold are tantalizingly close, an absolute joy if we make it! Even if we don't, though, I'll be more than content. Here's why:

This, to me, is the number that matters - always has been. If you're part of that number you are certainly my people, and I have gifts for you.
Wow we're so honored to have gotten this far with our Kickstarter, 200 people supporting us is amazing! Thanks to all backers and people who've shared our posts and our page!

Hey. Hey. That game I wrote? It's going a little bonkers. Just a little.
Your consistent support has let us really dream big for this project, because we’re adding two new stretch goals!

At $8k, we’ll switch from soft enamel to hard enamel pins.

At $10K, we'll upgrade the cover finish to matte anti-scuff lamination

No Mercy for Monsters is an easy comparison to Glatisant, but if I made a Brad Bird movie then Jess made a Ridley Scott. Check it out for a darker take on Hunter and Beast!
New from our imprint Unplaytested Presents, No Mercy For Monsters is now live!

Our first week gave us the confidence to dream bigger for Glatisant
Glatisant is getting a stretch goal! If we reach $6K we’ll add journaling stickers and print & play, tent-style miniatures to the game. These will add value to the experience without affecting our production and delivery timelines! Check it out in the latest update: tinyurl.com/bd949nbv

I try to add something to the conversation with every game I write - here are 3 games that were already part of that conversation:
1/7: Glatisant launches tomorrow! This isn’t the first indie TTRPG about relating to the monstrous. If you love monsters in fiction, the high drama of sworn enemies, or if you see yourself in the stranger and the alien, here are a few games you should check out and what Glatisant adds to the story.

I need a Korean designer to make me a two-player RPG about these two. Please. I have money.

A thread on storytelling through game design and how to get every part of a game to sing in harmony:
(1/7) I call it "the snap" - game design that uses the right story and the right system to carry its meaning. It's what makes Glatisant work, and it's a core principle of Graftbound games. So here's why the Questing Beast and the Carta system snapped into this game of purpose, pursuit, and guidance:

After interviewing @LucasZellers.bsky.social for this article, I was filled with evangelical zeal. Thoughtful engagement with 5e! Scientific inquiry and accuracy! Conservationist principles built into the design! I dearly hope I did the Book of Extinction justice:
Use DND To Teach Biology and Conservationism With This Monster Manual 
Teachers, parents, and others are wondering how to teach biology in a fun way. The game of Dungeons & Dragons has already been used to teach social emotional learning, sign language, history, and more. Why not use D&D to teach biology and conservation? Mage Hand Press, creator of custom D&D content, teamed up with the Center for Biological Diversity, scientific advocate of endangered species, to create a totally unique monster manual. In this book, you won’t find orcs, goblins, or kobolds. Instead, each “monster” is inspired by a real-world extinct animal. The Book of Extinction has two versions for each entry. One is the actual creature from our world: its history, biology, and the circumstances leading to its extinction. The other is a creature with lore, magic, and abilities that are inspired by the real-world creature but more suited to the world of D&D. As a team of educators, parents, therapists, and youth workers bringing D&D to young players, we’re always looking out for awesome D&D resources for teachers, and we fell in love with this one immediately. We got to chat with Lucas Zellers, the lead writer for the Book of Extinction, about his journey from D&D player to honorary conservationist.
