![STOP BUYING RIVERFOLK SERVICES
- OTTERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN FUNDS
- YEARS OF TRADING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for BUYING MERCENARIES
- Wanted a card anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called SWAP MEET
- "Yes please give me A BOAT RIDE. Please give me AN AMBUSH" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Riverfolk have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the trading posts we built for them (This is REAL Root done by REAL Riverfolk):
[three images of Riverfolk getting a lot of warriors and winning the game, captioned with rows of question marks]
"Hello I would like [two bird tokens] cards please"
They have played us for absolute fools](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w4uphegozmuvgh3h5i2nmaro/bafkreial7tgrft3mts77a76rfz36rfk42kdu22mdtym7qez45ifqtraslu@jpeg)

Releasing my second experiment in branching into fiction in a little over a week. This one is "what if the Hard Wired Island guy got into litRPG". My third project is also normal

Doing prep for my Spelljammer game. The PCs have decided to hunt down some slavers for fun (again (hell yeah)) so it's once again time to plan an interesting location they can do this to

Made a cool new robot friend named Sydney who loves rehabilitating convicts. But where can he find these Australians? You're not going to believe this: it's The Hole.

Cringe Wizard is funded well enough that I'm being cheeky and thinking about the stretch goal. The aim was to make a map/token pack out of major characters/locations from the book, but I haven't settled on which ones to use. Token packs tend to be mostly encounters, right

My favourite part of this is that it's the unique Sea of Consciousness world. My bird people found a one-of-a-kind psionic planet, established contact with a sentient ocean, and went "so you've played Portal right"

Fantastic news: I studied a rift in spacetime which mysteriously spawned thousands of people from an unknown species in my territory. They have no memory of where they came from, but I have chosen to accept them. Where are they, you ask?

That takes up a -ton- of space though, so I'm thinking of just doing small character intro panels that can fit two to a page at first, then doing an insert spread at the back of the book listing all of the characters and doing my bits there. Light novels, baby
