Me: Awesome, people are play testing my game and I’m learning how to do layout stuff! I should focus on this for now because it’s a big project.

My brain: Write out all your ideas for Mothership RPG, and an Australian Gothic game, at the exact same time. Trust me, it’ll be great.

Me: Oh, beans.

I tend to write horror more than anything else, and love blending it with other genres. But this time I had a fluffy idea for young dicelings which I have decided to share. I hope others find it as fun as I have! stitchsessions.itch.io/the-princess...

Some fantastic work being shared here! I love the Mothership RPG system, but would love it even more if this art was added to the companion app!
Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸

And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol

The lore found in Candela Obscura was already fascinating, and this project is expanding it with new factions, adventures, and countries to explore!

I'm excited to be involved, surrounded by a super talented team that are working on it, and it is SO CLOSE to reaching its funding goal!
