I have thoughts. Well, I have an introduction to write. This has been a project long in the making, and I'm sorta sad that we're nearing the end. But also, the end. Kudos to @patrickswenson.bsky.social for keeping the dream alive. (Also, love that cover.)

We added a new-to-us subscription today! UNDERLAND ARCANA, published by @underlandpress.bsky.social and edited by @markteppo.bsky.social, "explores the weird in concert with the imagery and symbolism of the tarot". We've got all 12 issues, including the latest: weightlessbooks.com/category/for...

We just added 37 new-to-us titles from @underlandpress.bsky.social! Including work from @pauljessup.com, @bonniejostuffle.bsky.social, @darinbradley.bsky.social, @ethereallad.bsky.social, @markteppo.bsky.social, @joshrountree.bsky.social and more: weightlessbooks.com/category/pub...

Time is running out on the Claw Machine kickstarter. I managed to wrangle a story for this one, and the rest of the TOC is even more stellar. Get a copy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jus...

So damn sublime. Go listen, everyone.

In case you're missing the snow, @jamesreeves.co

The Vortext of Blood Kickstarter has funded! There's still two weeks to back it, which will only increase the fun we're going to have. www.kickstarter.com/projects/824...

Four days in on the Vortext of Blood Kickstarter. Over 80% funded. Incremental steps, dear friends. Meanwhile, I’m noodling with card designs as I consider stretch goals. www.kickstarter.com/projects/824... #zinequest #ttrpg #zinemonth #nightoffice #zimo2025 #kickstarter #zimo

Vortext of Blood is live! I was so excited about the project that I added an extra letter to the title! www.kickstarter.com/projects/824... #zinequest #ttrpg #zinemonth #nightoffice #zimo2025 #kickstarter #zimo

Well, the DOOM + MADNESS Kickstarter is done. Hurray! I guess I should launch another one. Here we go! It's a brand new Night Office adventure, but with more RPG-like elements using tarot cards! Go sign up on the notification thingie! www.kickstarter.com/projects/824...

An important thing to remember. Every day, if necessary. Eventually, we'll turn it into an acronym. MSBIF+E+YC. Okay, maybe not. But do it anyway!

I have seen proofs of DOOM & MADNESS, which means it is time to finish up the rest of the stretch goal shenanigans for the Kickstarter. I get to revel in really terrible contract language. #nightoffice #makingshitup #thecreativelife

One of the best parts of being an independent creative is thinking: “Yeah, sure, there’s going to be karaoke nights in this canon. I should make a thing for it.” And then going and making a martini while the printer warms up.

Finished a layout pass on the King in Yellow edition of In The Mansion of Madness, revisiting and rewiring the meta as I am wont to do. Long game prep for the Queen in Red Expansion. #nightoffice #chooseyourowngrislydeath

I'm now going to distract you with non-grimdark fantasy content. Crooked v.3 is out. Space heists! There's an author interview here: www.jessiekwak.com/mark-teppo-v3/ Ebooks of all three volumes are free this weekend at your usual retailers (except for one, but that's their fault). Get copies!
