I recorded my ENNIE acceptance speech yesterday. It may never get seen as there's no guarantee i'll win. I had fun recording it though.

Having a last look at the Kickstarter before bed. I think we'll hit @mytholder.bsky.social 's goal overnight; I think we'll get to @gejwatts.bsky.social ; and it's on the edge whether we hit @sdorward.bsky.social and @planetx.bsky.social .
So, it's a great time to get an add-on or up your pledge.

An excellent system that's a lot of fun to play (like right away). Outstanding atmosphere.
I'm so happy when people run Cosmic Dark. I hope they get the good ending to Extraction.*
Ran @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social’s Cosmic Dark again Sunday night. We had to end early, so we’re mid way through Extraction, which is the first scenario.
It’s a non-Lovecraftian weird space cosmic horror game that uses Walmsley’s Cthulhu Dark mechanics.
I love the simplicity of this game.
