Thanks, playtesters! It was a joy watching you build your sitcom world, fill it with zany shelter animals living their best lives together, and do stupid human tricks for treats. Miss the Kickstarter for Golden Good Girls? Pre-orders are now open: golden-good-girls.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

In what feels like very serendipitous timing I just got my copy of Against the Gloom by @scryptidgames.bsky.social. Got to play this in a game run by Dustin at a local con. Very creative and collaborative game with a fun music playlist component. Looking forward to trying this one out again soon!

Golden Good Girls is live on Kickstarter! If a game that mashes up heartfelt sitcom nostalgia with goofy, snoot-booping hijinx is your kind of BS, this campaign is for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Tune in for Golden Good Girls, a zany TTRPG by @brigittewinter.bsky.social launching on Kickstarter August 13th! Play as the "unadoptable" shelter animals at the local shelter, Shady Pines, and resolve challenges with stupid human tricks to earn real treats. Follow the project: bit.ly/3WeiL4M

Just got a review of Against the Gloom from our first group of playtesters engaging with the game without any Scryptid Games folks in the room! We're humbled by the feedback and grateful to @neversaydustin.bsky.social for dreaming up this world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...
