Final order cut off is 10/27, so put your preorders in *now.*

I'm at the Cartier exhibition at the V&A. Only in the first room (of 12) and I'm having serious feelings about wealth and 'the rich.'

If any retailers want copies of Cthulhu Dark, Cosmic Dark or Stealing Cthulhu, this would be a really good time to tell me how many you'd like.

A few years ago, I found this bunny in the mud by the side of the road. They are missing an eye. We call them Sinister Bunny. Yesterday I made them an eye patch.

Please don't use Cthulhu Dark or the Dark mechanics for any projects that use AI art or text. I'd really like you to support a creator instead or, at least, use public domain art.
If you're having trouble with this on your budget, I can probably give you some advice! Get in touch.

Apologies for going on about this, but the end of this Kickstarter is actually really exciting.
@sdorward.bsky.social 's goal is listed as £74,618, but if you switch the currency to dollars you can probably guess what the real goal is. It's very close!

I'm happy this morning: I checked the Cosmic Dark Kickstarter and @jon.inkle.co of @inkle.co 's goal for Cosmic Dark funded! So I get to talk to him about narrative stuff. Nice.
Next, it's @gshowitt.bsky.social of Rowan, Rook & Decard, then @mytholder.bsky.social.

Do me a favour, though? If there are any Discords, newsletters or other channels I don't know about, would you mention Cosmic Dark there? That kind of thing really, really helps me. Thanks!

Here's what Jeeyon Shim (@jeeyon.bsky.social) said about their Cosmic Dark stretch goal: "How intense do you want it to be? I've been looking up the worst things that can happen to the human body as research."
It's next up on the Kickstarter. I'm so excited to work with her. #ttrpg #kickstarter
