My goal for the campaign is 4000 backers by the time I get on a plane back home from Toronto. That means we need 200 backers in 9 hours. Can we do it? Possibly! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Flood Levi with likes!

If Public Access does better then Brindlewood Bay, we should get a PA themed version of this table for Jason’s living room… 📼 www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

We’re making steady progress on our $280K stretch goal: The Beauty of Anillo de Oro! It’s the Real Housewives meets The Substance meets Society! You’ll never feel so delightfully sticky! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Great article about lore, and of the Elder Scrolls lore in particular, but there's a really fun bit with Gary Gygax at the start:

Playtest Zero is coming up again, just like a milk brick! For our SEA-friendly session, join us next Tuesday, 24 March at 8 pm (GMT+8) over at the Session Zero Discord server to do some 1-hour playtests of TTRPGs/game bits and chat with other designers! (Image unrelated)

Can we get to 2000 backers in the first 24 hours of the Public Access campaign? Possibly! Come help us unlock the next stretch goal: 4th & Long! A high school football-themed mystery written by a Brit, for a game written by someone who knows nothing about sports! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

It funded in exactly REDACTED seconds 🤯 A coincidence? I don’t think so… #🏜️

We go live in 10 minutes! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

We need fewer than 100 more followers to reach our goal of 5000 before we launch Public Access! Please repost and help us get across the finish line! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

But the moment this stops being fun—the moment I’m thinking more about units sold and royalty advances and distribution and so forth—is the moment I quit this and go back to being strictly a hobbyist. The business side of this must never diminish my fundamental love for playing TTRPGs.

And it does it sooooo sooooo well!

Boom! Public Access joins Brindlewood Bay as our second Adamantine seller on @drivethrurpg.com! Follow the Public Access Kickstarter, launching March 17th! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

ATTENTION! @jessjewell.bsky.social @michellicopter.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social The Lands Remaining - Trailer youtu.be/6DSVyLnsdEE

I´m excited to read the new Edition of The Between this weekend and doing nothing else. Really nothing else, cause this is the best sh#t to do! 🥳 Big Thx to @heckmueller.bsky.social & @jasoncordova.bsky.social 💚 #Brindlewood #TheBetween #pbta the-between.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

I rarely advertise that Brindlewood Bay, The Between, and Public Access all take place in the same universe, but as Public Access is blowing up at the moment, it might be good business sense to do so?

Can we get to 3000 followers by the end of the day? Possibly! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Public Access currently sitting at no. 8 on the @drivethrurpg.com bestsellers. Not bad for a PWYW game that's three years old!

Public Access RPG is coming to Kickstarter on March 17th! If you haven't already done so, please sign up for prelaunch—we're aiming for 5000 followers before launch. And please help spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Boom! Our first Adamantine seller on @drivethrurpg.com!

We're close to 2000 followers on the Public Access prelaunch page! Help us cross that threshold and take one more step to giving this game its best shot at success! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March! It helps us a lot if folks sign up for prelaunch. Please do and help spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

I finished the @itsquinns.bsky.social video, very entertaining, and what I liked best is how he conveys the philosophy of play behind our games. youtu.be/bLrr1z1gRgo?...

The Patreon has a second video about the Carved from Brindlewood ecosystem, as well as a fun interview with me! www.patreon.com/qquest?utm_c...

We ran this on the channel and it hit hard. It was weird, nostalgic, unsettling, and incredibly memorable. I can’t wait for the crowdfunding to go live. I want to run it in its final form.

Now that’s a big thing! 🤩 Can’t wait to find out what @itsquinns.bsky.social is saying about Public Access! 😁

I know what I’m watching on my lunch break now youtu.be/bLrr1z1gRgo?...

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March. We want to give this game the best possible chance, so please sign up for prelaunch and help spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

My game Public Access is coming to KS next month. I ran a full campaign of this new, revised edition for @thebadspot.bsky.social last year, and it was terrific! Watch here: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

And sign up for pre launch! It helps the campaign a lot: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Happy Monday! Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March, and it would help us a lot if you signed up for prelaunch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau... Please repost!

In the Summer of 2004, a group of young people took a road trip to New Mexico, in search of what happened to a strange public access TV station only they can remember... youtu.be/jL5aSn5rpUs?...

#DetekteiMonster ist FINANZIERT!!! 🎉 Monströsen Dank an alle, die dazu beigetragen haben, ob mit Geld oder mit Weitersagen! 💖 Jetzt geht es an die Bonusziele - zuerst: Mehr @fuchskind.bsky.social Illustrationen! Seid ihr dabei? www.kickstarter.com/projects/plo... #pnpde #ZineMonth #ZineQuest

Das Schöne daran ist übrigens auch, dass man inzwischen im GameLab quasi blind ins Regal greifen kann und irgendeinen schrägen Schatz findet. (Case in point: Diese Raumschiff GameStar-DVD)

And so I'd say that's my design goals met! I'm excited to see what people do in the writing contest—there's a lot of space to expand the Struggles concept to be more than just combat, but also other types of epic encounter (that's why I called them "struggles" and not something with "combat" in it).

First, though, some links. Newest TLR Pod: www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-lands-re... Writing Contest: www.gauntlet-rpg.com/writing-cont... Example Struggles: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

The Lands Remaining: Struggles Struggles are on my mind because the newest episode of The Lands Remaining Podcast is all about them, and we're currently holding a writing contest focused on them. So, a quick thread about what is almost certainly going to be the most controversial part of this game!

I like the idea of getting to know each other better. Has a nostalgic sheen of early era twitter, when social media still had something hopeful about it. 😌 So, like this post and I‘ll answer!

Dead-Pilled's Subject Matter obviously pushes the envelope in a really juicy way, AND the short-form 2-3 session CfB framework is a BLAST. Can't wait to get this gnarly little game to the table.

DEAD-PILLED is now available on The Gauntlet's $7+ Patreon feed (or available as a one-time purchase for $8). DEAD-PILLED is a new Carved from Brindlewood game by me! Check it out! www.patreon.com/posts/gauntl...

DEAD-PILLED is the third release in The Gauntlet Presents... series, and is a game designed to be played in 2 or 3 sessions. It features art by @rocketsandpens.bsky.social , graphic design and layout by Alexander Guy and @heckmueller.bsky.social, and editing by @jasoncordova.bsky.social.

The first three episodes of The Lands Remaining Podcast are now available wherever you get podcasts. This podcast tracks the development and eventual release of my new game, The Lands Remaining. Check it out! www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-lands-re...

I work daily knowing this person is out there and is going to be a source of annoyance to me personally, and that my game will never make them happy unless I add d20s or initiative or some shit to it, and so I need to ignore them and keep making my game so that it’s the best expression of my vision.

YOU HEAR THAT FUCKERS???? IM IRREPLACEABLE! EAT MY ASS, HATERS! Tell your momma I'll be home late and not to wait up

Also, read S&K, a free anthology of creative works from the Carved from Brindlewood community! 100% volunteer! sprigsandkindling.com

I don't know how many people who have written for S&K have went on to get paid for their writing afterwards, but the number keeps increasing. And it's not about the money with S&K, it's about the practice and the fun of it!

FWIW, I know where this stuff is coming from: the world is very challenging right now, and people don't feel like they have any power, and so they try to police the things they *can* have some influence over. But it's misguided energy. You should be using your hobby as a source of joy in dark times.

I‘m hoping @jasoncordova.bsky.social will be writing that book for future rpg historians to have a first hand account of what this play culture is all about. I know I‘m biased, but this honestly feels like something as seminal as what came out of the Forge back then.

Started a full campaign of The Lands Remaining yesterday. Honestly? D&D could never. It would take you ten sessions of a more traditional fantasy TTRPG to do as much storytelling as we did in one session of TLR. I am more convinced than ever that TLR is a game-changer.

I am heartsick. Steve was a longtime friend and collaborator, and one of my favourite game designers. This is awful news.
