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)

Could you be Mechritter's 150th Backer?

Damn, backers said fuck the Flock

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?

Amusingly enough, the Mechritter add-ons are currently the only way to order a physical copy of I'm with the Damned & Other Games.

Mechritter is itching closer to funding, like a mouse delicately extracting a block of cheese from a trap.

Have you shared it with all your friends and loved ones yet?

Psychodungeons are created from breakdowns, full of monsters reflecting a mind's issues. Psychoplumbers are called in to get to the bottom of the dungeon and close it off. Pull someone back from the brink, just for a little bit.

My most Halloween game is Fear the Taste of Blood, an asymmetric game of classic movies monsters. Play as the Monster, the Survivors, and the Night they meet in.

In October I'll release the new edition of Follow Me in the Night on Itch. Before then why not check out my behind the scenes look at revisiting my third ever game.

Looks at changing the game over to Tarot, overhauling the instructional text, being explicit about ambiguity and also previews the layout of the game.

Each character class in Caught in the Remix has a unique ability that helps them cope with stress and manipulate cards. The ways each handles stress invites a clash of personalities.

NEW: Caught in the Remix is a tarot-based escape from an infinite extradimensional nightclub, with a playlist acting as a timer before the environment remixes around you. Can you manage your stress enough to make it out with your friendship intact?

This review of I'm with the Damned over on Library of Words is great and really hits the heart of the game.

You can read the review here (libraryofwords.com/im-with-the-...) and buy the game on Itch (ratwavegamehouse.itch.io/im-with-the-...)

There's a lot of vibrant colours throughout the Full Send Major Arcana, except for Death which is the only card art completely in black and white.

48 Hours left on the campaign!

Ran a test playthrough of the new edition Follow Me in the Night and played someone who ended up having a really bad time out there

In a taxi yesterday I was asked if I'd been in a wheelchair since birth and I realised answering yes would end that conversation

Ready for TTS! I've triggered a large pain flare setting up and cold hard cash is the only cure!*

*This is false, there is no cure, but it couldn't hurt to try!

For the Justice tarot card for Full Send I wanted to use the scales imagery to nod to some of the amazing design in @laurieoc.bsky.social's game

The choice between taking things slower, focused on survival, or chasing the glory of leading

Suprise Game Drop! I'm with the Damned is out now digitally. This is a musical tarot rpg where you play as band members setting out on their biggest tour ever. The thing your adoring fans don't know is the Faustian pact it took to get here.

For Full Send's Major Arcana @laurieoc.bsky.social asked me to make sure there was a mix of figures, equipment and landscapes.

(The Empress manages to include both, as do other cards)
