I haven’t had the time or headspace to do the seasonal shoot I’ve been wanting to do this winter, please instead enjoy this mockup of what my holiday smut WILL look like when I get around to it

if you are a person living outside NYC going “why should I care who the NYC mayor is???” that’s totally fair, no hate to you! here is a very good comment from u/current_poster that helps explain why it matters, and why Mamdani’s win is notable

only 12 hours left to back this little scene-building game about cryptids and 90’s drive-time call-in radio shows. easy to lean, fun to play, a low bar of entry for anyone looking to hone their improv skills, and SICK CRYPTID ART.

back it here! ttrpg.link/cryptidshow

The first recorded sighting of the Fresno Nightcrawler was in 2007, when an unnamed witness reported seeing a walking pair of legs standing approx. 60 inches high. And if you’re looking for the height of 2-player TTRPGs, you only have 60 hours left to back The CryptID Show on BackerKit!

In 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin set out to find evidence of the elusive Bigfoot, and on October 20th of that year, they succeeded in capturing the most iconic cryptid video of all time. Much like that fateful day in ‘67, you have only 67 hours left to back The CryptID Show on BackerKit!!
