(4) Being part of @hatchedgames.bsky.social. GAST is the first crowdfunding campaign I’ve been involved with for the publication of a game that I wrote myself! Thank you to all that supported, we are also incredibly excited for the (horrifying 😈) plans we’ll be pursuing next year!

I wrote a solo folk-horror game for @hatchedgames.bsky.social about befriending monsters, generational trauma, and being changed by the strange and wondrous things you encounter in the bog. I can’t wait to see it played!

I listened to Solemn Vale by @realmspod.bsky.social last December and it was such an inspiring and beautiful horror production. Inspiring enough, in fact, to encourage a personal leap into horror content myself with @hatchedgames.bsky.social and GAST. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Please keep supporting indie ttrpgs. It’s more important now than ever! Play something new, gift them to friends and family, share your favourites on socials, rate and review on @itch.io. Thank you!

Psst....I recorded this today and it was lovely 💓💓

Christmas Eve will be the debut of CHILDREN OF HEAVEN, the brand-new solo drawing TTRPG I wrote for a GAST stretch goal! You play as a homeless child entrusted with a profound secret: God has been thrown out of heaven, and demons stalk the earth. I'm excited to see where GM Justin takes the story!

I cannot stress enough how excited I am, and how much it means to me, that someone will be playing 'Tand Fé' on an AP! 🦷💀🐁 It's my first solo journaling game, the first fully fledged game I've written alone, and combines my love of horror and folklore in a way I'm really proud of!

If you've been excited about what we have in store for GAST: Season 1, then you should give these folks a watch! They are playing FOUR of our SEVEN games and giving them a festive spin ❄️😱

If this sounds like you, shoot your shot!

Building up a database of artists/illustrators (especially BIPOC and minority) to reach out to for future collabs/paid work! Looking for anyone who loves drawing horror, folklore, and dark fairy tales, as I've a few things coming up in that field. 💀🪦 Interested? Drop those links and examples below!

I'm happy and excited to share that the music I composed for @hatchlingdm.itch.io GAST is now available on all streaming platforms: Scopaethesia (GAST Soundtrack) Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/4GQufO... Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/sco... YouTube: youtu.be/Bb-rAXVgN1o?...

Surprise! 🙌💛🥹 I've been working with @hatchlingdm.itch.io for a while now, and adore this team and the games they write. I am SO honoured to get to be a part of it and look forward to working on the INCREDIBLE games we're fulfilling, as well as those yet to come. And boy....do we have plans 👀🤩

Delighted to be welcoming @loremistress93.bsky.social to Hatchlings Games as our new Creative Lead. We’re over the moon to be adding such a skilled and passionate designer, writer, and content creator to the team. Kat will truly help this small ttrpg publisher push on to greater heights!

If you liked Token, my dark fairytale duet game, you’re going to love Bog Berries, a solo folk-horror game I’m almost finished writing for GAST from @hatchedgames.bsky.social! This game also ends with different epilogues depending on how your journey brought you to encounter a monstrous guardian.

And we’re live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tat...

Absolutely humbled and so encouraged by the INCREDIBLE funding response and support we had for this project. We made over 7 times what we initially wanted to, and GAST is something we are so very excited to bring to this space! Thank you friends 💛

Thanks to everyone who backed GAST, spread the word, and made the last couple of weeks such a fun ride! We didn’t quite manage to unlock that final stretch goal, but we’re so encouraged by the response to our debut project. GAST is alive!

Backer train let’s goooooooo!

I’m so proud 😭😭💛

5 minutes left! Hurry!

10 mins! If 5 more people back at the £85 tier...

We have TEN MINUTES left, and are £400 away! We've officially entered Backer Train territory! 🚂 It would be wonderful to reach the £15K stretch goal, but even managing 7 times the goal we set out to reach is INCREDIBLE and we are so thankful for every single person's support! tinyurl.com/ycx9tkdz

GAST from @hatchedgames.bsky.social A set of horror infused games using the Carta system, but also funds for a start-up of ‘seasons’, each with a different type of horror and SRD. Very excited for this one, especially with a future season being devoted to my favorite sub-genre, gothic horror!

Pocketopia is ending in a few hours, and if you haven’t already, you should definitely check it out! It’s about portable, easy to learn games, and includes extra rewards for backing two partnered projects, as well as a dice bag for backing 6 of them. Here’s a 🧵 of the ones I found most interesting:

Why DO we bargain with our children’s teeth, when dealing with the fair folk…? 🦷🐀🪙

👀 @sateenbonnet.bsky.social frieeennnddddd

The final 8 hours of GAST’s fundraising are upon us, and this boxed set has 7 incredible zines up for grabs?! Check out the below mood boards revealed as we count down to get each game’s vibe! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

GAST is in its final hours of crowdfunding and close to a final stretch goal! This set of solo folk horror RPGs includes one written by myself, and promises an exciting path for more designers to make their own games. @hatchedgames.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

Just £800 will see the wonderful folks at @hatchedgames.bsky.social hit their final stretch goal for GAST! Can you help them get over the line?

We have under 24 hours, and we are only £1K away from our final stretch goal. I’m so proud, and so determined to reach it now 😈 please consider backing! Not long left to go!

@hatchedgames.bsky.social's GAST: Horror Zine Collection Season One presents a collection of solo folk horror RPGs built on the Carta system. Additionally, this campaign will help establish Hatched Games, who are planning more "seasons" of horror-themed zines. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

🦇 TODAY 🦇 The 'Dracula: 2004' crowdfunding campaign has officially launched! Why not come aboard and see where the journey takes us (ideally it will be Whitby)? 🧛‍♀️

Only 30 hours left?! 😱

Just a reminder that we only have 30 HOURS LEFT of #Pocketopia to back! AND we are less than £1500 away from our final stretch goal! If you like: - Solo RPGs ✍️ - Horror 💀 - Folklore 🧌 - Supernatural 👁️ Then please consider backing our Season of Carta SRD games! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...
