taking the opportunity to thank @ratwave.uk and @laurieoc.bsky.social for inviting me into this project! It's been so much fun, with all the creative freedom I was given, to convey what this little world could look like. If you didn't back this title yet, consider doing so, it will be a great one!
Mechritter has funded! Really happy we get to bring this project to life.

We have some details of our planned stretch goals on the page and will be announcing a further goal very soon (imminently even)

Had great fortnight of gaming. I kicked things off with a themed battle royale, then ran a murder mystery larp for my entire family. Last Sunday I got to playtest @stillfleet.bsky.social 's Danse Macabre, on Monday night played @jdragsky.bsky.social 's Yazebas B&B, and on Weds launched Mechritter.

Today I just want to share some of the amazing sticker sets for. Mechritter. You use these to build your mechs!

All physical backers get a sticker book with every sticker set alongside their game book.

Mechritter features multiple factions at each other's throats, living in the walls and floorboards of the high streets stores.

Which faction would people want to learn more about? The Flock, rulers of the market? The Junk Foodies?

We are excited to see what @laurieoc.bsky.social and @ratwave.uk do with mecha + mice. *Of course* it already looks innovative, with a gorgeous, modular, sticker-driven system.

Everyone, check out Laurie and Kayla's new project (and let us know if you want to see a Blister Critters hack!)

Yooo, we are so close to our VTT release with @boroughbound.bsky.social ! We lowered this one a bit because we really want to work with our Borough Buds to bring you some spooky orange and black medieval mappage
We're entering the final two days of funding for Danse Macabre, and we are so close to unlocking not just one, but TWO awesome stretch goals: a VTT assets bundle and solo-play rules!
