WOW y'all what an incredible last 24 hours!!
I'm immensely humbled that so many folks have been so supportive and so generous. There's been some big ups and downs these last few months but seeing folks getting excited about the little games I make means the world to me.
Truly, thank you.

Ambition is in the final 48 hours. It's amazing seeing a fellow indie team bring a project this *ambitious* to life, and we're so grateful to be a part of the crew creating the starting lineup of Fables for the game.

The last week of a kickstarter is a bad time to get sick but alas the sickness is upon me 🙃

Hoping to focus more on the physical craftsmanship side of things and do more lino illustrations and riso printing for other folks soon!

The illustrated version of Black Currents is out!
In this small #ttrpg #zine, most of you are sailors of the black-streams that connect reality. You have a raft, a mission, and each other.
One of you is the Beast the others sail on. They have a body, a destination, and little patience. (1/3)
