We sold out of the special edition of Defy the Gods yesterday! It’s gone. But we still have plenty of the standard edition! If you haven't yet gotten to explore this beautiful book, we're at booth 1813. Come on by!

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came by booth 1813 today! The outpouring of support is unbelievable ABBAs humbling. We have just FIVE copies of Defy the Gods special edition left. Will we have any left by Sunday morning? You decide!

Having Cole at the booth has been a lifesaver. Today, we brought a prototype of the Total Chaos Edition. Come to booth 1813 to see what could’ve been – and could yet be!

Thank you to Liz, who stopped by booth 1813 to give us this lovely raccoon adventurer! She played a bedazzled cockroach in Raccoon Sky Pirates last night, gained a cult and immediately lost them in an ill-fated rescue operation involving a string of Christmas lights. I have to bring this game back

Origins is ON. Lovely meeting new people, seeing old friends, and selling the few remaining special editions of Defy the Gods left in the wild

Sold a couple of pieces I did for @hecticelectron.bsky.social and @goodmangames.bsky.social a while back! Farewell my sweet raccoon and creepy shark tooth crown thing. #ttrpgart #ttrpg #gameartist #2dgameart #tabletopart

OMG I love that design so much

Origins hasn’t even started yet and I already sold one of the special editions of Defy the Gods. Isn’t it beautiful?? Come get your very own queer sword & sorcery at booth 1813

This was such a fun interview. It’s taken on a whole new meaning with the way the most recent Kickstarter went!

Ran Defy the Gods by @hecticelectron.bsky.social for the first time yesterday, to prep for running the system at Gen Con 2026. Players loved it, I loved running it. This is quickly becoming my favorite PbtA system! Now I’m regretting not getting the cuneiform dice when I backed the Kickstarter…

Just finished a bedtime read of Defy the Gods, and wow, this game is amazing. The World Scenes? SO cool! XP for engaging with safety tools? Genius! And the collaborative ethos of the entire game is just love incarnate. @hecticelectron.bsky.social - you’ve done it again! Thank you for this gem 🥰

Unfortunately, I had to cancel the Raccoon Sky Pirates Kickstarter. It wasn't going to reach its goal. But I'll come back soon with a new version of it! The raccoons can't be stopped

This is one of my favorite games in recent memory and a really spectacular way to intro new players to ttprgs. It's such fun chaos!

Aaaah they're so beautiful! Back this game so you can play one of these trash animals

The real house was the friends we—no wait it was really a house. Glad you blew up and had fun! 😃

The raccoons are back!

Thanks for the shout-out @airborneham.bsky.social ! Check out Eric's Substack to stay in the know airborneham.substack.com/p/get-trashy...

Robbi drew such awesome little guys! They were the perfect artist for it. Hire Robbi if they're free, they do great work

Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition is a hilarious game of chaos, trash and airborne misadventure. It's the perfect beer and pretzels game and a great way to introduce your friends to role-playing. Back it now at www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec... ! 🦝🏴‍☠️💥

Cris did such indispensable work on this game!

Kata does such beautiful work!

Chrys is an excellent designer and I'm very excited to see this get made! I'm also very keen to see RPGs and board games mixing more! and on top of that, as a resident Torontonian, I love to see more raccoon representation 🦝

@thaumavore.blue recorded a great review of the new Raccoon Sky Pirates. In it, he posed the question: Is it even an RPG at all? I mean sure I'd say so – but see what you think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sE6... ...Then back it on Kickstarter at the link in my bio! #raccoonskypirates

One of the most instantly popular games I have ever seen at Games on Demand

The base game is phenomenal. I am sure this version will just make the game be fascinating! Make sure to grab a copy of the trash this game is (non derogatory)

LAUNCH! Raccoon Sky Pirates are live! Back them now at www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Sincerely one of the best times in the hobby right here

The Kickstarter for Raccoon Sky Pirates: Total Chaos Edition launches tomorrow morning! Get the original mailer-box game or go all-in for the full-color game with stolen components and a dumpster-fire mini! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

happy pride to the storytellers. to the ancestors who kept our oral traditions, to those who turn bartops and bathrooms into sites of play. to the artists, the authors, the poets, the dancers. happy pride to the wonder and grime of our beautiful, rotten, terrific, erotic imaginations that define us.

some of my favourite chara designs from the past few years. I'm currently open to work, so hmu if you need character/creature design for your project. reposts are always greatly appreciated!

Heart of the Deernicorn makes such beautiful stuff. Every damn time

Also, while Miller obviously made the statement in bad faith, it is a neutral, albeit incorrect, one at face value. They could counter this without taking the bait, e.g. "While Talarico is not transgender, we look forward to the day when Texas does have its first transgender senate candidate".

The awesome @rascal.news published an interview with the designer @hecticelectron.bsky.social last year, diving into the game itself a little more than my article did. Give it a read if you're a TTRPG sicko like I am

So glad I got to write about nerd shit again! This TTRPG honestly sounds rad as hell and I LOVE the art
