Ongoing English Muffin baking attempts have finally produced some proper nooks and crannies. Little bit of extra protein and water did the trick.

Still thinking about a discord discussion on finishing games-- ideas are easy, writing the fun parts is easy, but very few people say finishing is easy. One of my preferred tools is milestones. I'm at 22/30 short character descriptions in my current project, so close to the milestone that it ITCHES.

Royal Blood is the #1 game I run when my coworkers persuade me to run ttrpgs as a team activity. Will be great to have a printed book for it.
Only half my coworkers know what an RPG is, so this turns out like: The Queen of the River, Maude, and Mr. Saltines do a heist, but the game works anyway!

ROYAL BLOOD is very close to its next stretch goal, which is an exciting one: silver foil on the tarot cards!
Almost as exciting as that: once that goal is reached, a new one will be announced.
If you haven't backed the moody tarot heist ttrpg there's still 15 days left:

Just finished playing Fracture, a slasher movie larp by Reverie Studios. One of the best larps I've ever played, even on just a week of character prep. Summer camp was amazing-- I'm never coming home!
