One thing I love about the POD edition is that it has an exclusive cover effect to make it look like an used softcover novel, just like the classic cheap pulp publications of yore.

I just had one of the most amazing talk-backs with @hecticelectron.bsky.social about their game, Defy the Gods. It was 90 minutes of joy, excitement, and vulnerability in a way that I so needed. Plus, figuring out they also made Raccoon Sky Pirates was just the cherry on top. :)

Yesss soak in the secretssss....

What a wonderful conversation! In depth and wide-ranging, with the time to really dig into Defy the Gods—and Raccoon Sky Pirates!

This was such a fun time! I was excited to talk with Jeff and do some character creation and world-building for Defy the Gods. Look for our conversation on his Patreon!

“Defy the Gods” by @hecticelectron.bsky.social, distributed by @plusoneexp.bsky.social, just arrived in the mail. It is a beautiful hardcover edition, filled with gorgeous illustrations by various artists, intriguing playbooks, and a detailed setting for a fantasy ancient Mesopotamian world.

We're interviewing Chrys from @hecticelectron.bsky.social and talking about her newest Queer Sword and Sorcery game, "Defy the Gods"! This is on @emmerron.bsky.social 's Twitch Channel! www.twitch.tv/emmerron hecticelectron.itch.io/defy-the-gods

Hell yeah brother

Oh hey I'm about to go live on Wireheads! www.twitch.tv/emmerron Join us as we talk about Defy the Gods and probably a ton of other stuff

Oh hell yeah.

Chrys is the writer of Defy the Gods, which we took a look at last month, and this is a great way to learn more about the game from them directly!

Hooray! So excited to see this landing with backers. If you backed Defy the Gods and haven't gotten your book yet, it's coming!

The Plus One Warehouse team is packing & stacking on @hecticelectron.bsky.social’s Defy The Gods. Can’t wait till you get these beauties! Launching post campaign orders next week!

Have a bouquet of snakes! Mad Dungeon just dropped an episode where I talk about Defy the Gods and Raccoon Sky Pirates – www.buzzsprout.com/1653667/epis...

There's more racoon chaos coming?? Racoon Sky Pirates had everyone at our table laughing until it hurt, and scrambling to protect our little guys as much as we could! Be sure to slap that follow button as hard as your phone allows to find out more about this upcoming version!

This guy has seen some shit.

#7) Raccoon Sky Pirates by @hecticelectron.bsky.social When we tell you that we have NEVER laughed this hard, we're serious. Running through the starter session, everyone at the table was laughing till it hurt, while really really caring about our trash-cobbled space ship. You NEED to play it.

As AI laces itself through every runnel of society, I’m increasingly grateful for the artisanal, hand-crafted quality of tabletop RPGs; both the books and the experience at the table

We're looking for GMs to help out Hectic Electron run Defy the Gods at Origins. Since late event submission ends April 5th, this is time sensitive. I've played the game and it's a fun time intended to be queer sword and sorcery with messy romance in Mesopotamia!

Defy the Gods at Gen Con! We're looking for GMs to help out Hectic Electron run Defy the Gods at Gen Con! I've played the game and it's a fun time intended to be queer sword and sorcery with messy romance in Mesopotamia!

every trans woman's dream of transition

Pulled out my laminator today to prep reference sheets and handouts for running con TTRPG oneshots with @lurkingfears.bsky.social this summer - Paranoia at Origins, then Defy the Gods and DarkSpace at Gen Con :) @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social @hecticelectron.bsky.social @dmingtheworld.bsky.social

some more commissioned art for an adventure by @sebastianyue.bsky.social in "Defy The Gods" by @hecticelectron.bsky.social 🏺⚡️

Last day of GAMA Expo! Defy the Gods is out for sale in May. - Queer sword & sorcery. - Adventure & romance in the Bronze Age - Inspired by Clash of the Titans. - Messy romance & cursed power. Retailers, we’re taking pre-orders today: 5% off 5 copies, 10% off 10. Come see the advance copies!

🔴LIVE IN 120 🔴 Come join us as we take a look at the quickstart for #DefytheGods by Chrys Sellers @hecticelectron.bsky.social ! This "queer sword & sorcery" game caught my eye months ago and I'm thrilled to have a platform to share why I think it may be a BANGER. youtube.com/live/WnvJ4Tv...

Screw it. Let's stream about @hecticelectron.bsky.social 's Defy the Gods tonight, since they're at GAMA. Sometimes the universe gives you your stream topics 🤷‍♂️ Stay tuned for all the broadcast stuff, thumbnail, and a proper announcement. 9PM EST | 6PM PST | 3AM CET youtube.com/@thelondonstation

This game is definitely on my radar going forward. It has Apocalypse Keys-like pbta resolution, "Hearts" a la Strings in games like Monster Hearts / Thirsty Sword Lesbians, is queer coded like Girl by Moonlight, and goes back beyond your typical Greco Roman imagery into Mesopotamian worldbuilding.

Excited to meet so many retailers and other pros at GAMA Expo! We’re at booth 673!

What if fantasy races were actually polities? If you make alliance with the elves, you’re an elf. If you have a home with the dwarves, you’re a dwarf. If you caucus with the goblins, you’re a goblin

I point all my books spines-in on my bookshelf and so long as I don’t read any of them I have Schrödinger’s complete library

Last few hours for All’s Fair and Rise, Wizards! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... These games look innovative and amazing. I backed this project after a dream where I had to explain to @superdillin.bsky.social why I didn’t. Peak parasociality. Don’t miss out and have Dream Dillin on your case!

Less than $100 to our last stretch goal!!!

The livestream was so much fun! I hope you’ll back New Edge Sword & Sorcery on BackerKit. This magazine is exactly my jam: new voices with new takes on sword & sorcery stories. Check it out!

OMG! I'm sooo proud of this book 🩷 take a look! It is simply GORGEOUS!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA omg it is so beautiful 🥹🥰💖

I got the advance copies of Defy the Gods today! They're beautiful 😍😭❤️‍🔥 Huge shout-out to the graphic designer @crislv.bsky.social & the artists whose work is in these pics: @jjflorentina.bsky.social (cover), @katrindirim.bsky.social, @anonbeadraws.bsky.social & @thalieshelen.bsky.social

Who likes playing Raccoon Sky Pirates and draws architectural plans for a living? I need to create maps of four houses, each with its own character, and the pages need to look like they were stolen from a glossy, large-format real-estate magazine

For some reason, while I'm working, my brain is imagining a Star Wars-Godfather mashup: - 10 thousand?! We could almost buy our own ship for that! - Yeah but who's gonna fly it, kid? You? - You bet I could. I'm not such a bad pilot mysel— Obi-Wan puts his hand up.

Today at @thestfnetwork.bsky.social Con, we played @hecticelectron.bsky.social's Raccoon Sky Pirates. Our intrepid band stole a child's easter candy basket, Joker chemicals, tool chest, drone, dill plant, sewing machine, fridge air compressor and THE MEATS. The Raccoons are COMING!

Had a wonderful private event yesterday running Raccoon Sky Pirates by @hecticelectron.bsky.social for one of our regulars, Alex, and their friends 🦝 🚀
