The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Today’s a big for MCDM! Thanks to everyone who made the Crack the Sun crowdfunding campaign a success! It’s gonna be magic! As of today, I’m no longer the Lead Designer of Draw Steel products, and I’m stepping into the role of Game Director of our next RPG, Crows. I can’t wait to play it with you.

18 hours left to Draw Steel and Crack the Sun! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Less than 72 hours left to get in on an epic adventure that will take you across several levels, starting in medieval fantasyland and ending in space nonsense. I think it's going to be really special. Also some great player options and other things! www.backerkit.com/projects/mcd...

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED An Animated Spellbook™️about something I worked on!

Watched the Stranger Things finale last night and I loved it. The final season wasn't perfect, but it hit a lot of beats really well and the epilogue was pitch perfect for me. Ultimately, thought, the power of Stranger Things was it's ability to hack directly into my brain on a very personal level.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Looking forward to revealing more of what we're working on at MCDM, but for now...

Draw Steel implies the existence of Untap Steel and Upkeep Steel.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He's fallen 23 squares so far! What class do you think agents Johnson and Johnson are?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He's fallen 22 squares so far! What class do you think Hans and his companions from Die Hard are?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He's fallen 21 squares so far! If you were Hans' foe what would you do to make his experience worse?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He's fallen 20 squares so far! If you were Hans' ally what would you do to save him?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... Hans has fallen 19 squares down the building so far! What DTO at the bottom do you think would give him the saddest experience when he completes his fall?

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... Hans is even closer to the bottom, even with me traveling. He's fallen 18 squares down the building so far!

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... Hans is getting closer to the bottom. I think he'll take well more than 17 damage. What do y'all think?

Ajax and the War Dogs.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans had 16 Victories he could level up based on his class. Any ideas on what Class and what Level would give him the best chance to survive this situation?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans were a Null and got a Tier 2 result on using Kinetic Shield he'd gain 15 temporary Stamina, which might help him survive the impact! Maybe!

the right attitude

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans used Shadowfall and got a Tier 2 result he could do 14 damage to targets in a 10x1 line, then appear in an unoccupied space at the end of the line. Convenient!

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans used Gravitic Well and got a Tier 3 result he could do 13 damage to his enemies AND vertical pull 10 himself towards the center of the well and to safety!

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans were a revenant, the Tough But Withered trait would mean he would go inert instead of dying when ending his fall. After 12 hours he would revive.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. CRACK THE SUN CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans were a Level 9 Conduit with the Creation domain he could use Divine Dragon to conjure a dragon that could get him out of this mess. Does Hans seem pious?

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... THE CROWDFUNDER IS LIVE!!! If Hans were a Level 10 Fury Berserker with Bounder his jump distance would be 10, a big aid in reducing fall dmg!

I don't know who those 67 people are, but I appreciate their enthusiasm.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans were an 8th Level Telekinesis Tradition Talent he could use Levitation Field to fly and immediately shift. That would be pretty handy!

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans had 7 Drama, and an amiable Director, he could use Extensive Rewrites to swap positions with an enemy. RaW = he's boned though.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... If Hans were a 6th level Fury, he could use Primordial Portal to teleport to safety in Quintessence, ensuring his survival. Alas, not a Fury.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He wishes he was an Elementalist with Translated Through Flame! 5 Essence would teleport him to safety! And attack adjacent enemies to boot!

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... He hopes the bottom has a liquid that's 1 square or more deep. It would reduce the effective height of a fall by 4 squares (to a minimum of 0).

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... Also remember that if Hans was force moved into the side of that building he would take 3 extra damage.

Hans continues to fall down the Die Hard advent calendar. The most important day is not the 25th this year, but the 9th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... Also remember that Hans is going to take 2 damage for each square he falls (to a maximum of 50 damage) and land prone.
