Just over 3 days and we’ve already hit the $10k mark! We’re only $5000 away from funding Arium!!! Here’s the front of the vampire romantic intrigue adventure we’re including in the box. Fantastic writing by Steffie de Vaan and art by Kaspian Munn.

Story time. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve spent what feels like every waking moment on Kickstarter prep for the Arium Triptych Box. I’m really excited about it. We launch on Tuesday 😮

Someone on discord asked me if my heavy package was filled with gold. It’s better than gold. It’s books!

Welp, cyanstarlight physical books SOLD OUT. It's only been a year and a few months since we fulfilled to backers. Honestly, I expected them to last longer. Alan made a great game, and I'm not complaining, but now to decide what to do next. *whispers* I think it's gonna be lonely and exciting.

2020. That’s the last time I had an in-person rpg group for more than one-shots. Covid, then I moved states. This week I started gaming with a new playtest group at my house. We made a n Arium called “Sky World: Above the Fog”.

I had a really good time constructing this comic-style collage with Arium: Evolve interior art by Tithi Luadthong and some sneaky use of Fernando Salvaterra's Complete Box Set cover art in the background. Graphic design isn't my TOP skill, but I think it is at least improving.

Hey lookie here! I'll be at LTUE - Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium next month. I'll be on panels, running a HUGE Arium worldbuilding event, hanging out playing games, and chatting with folks at our booth!

Luckily, with some strategic bending, Glatisant came out mostly fine. What a gorgeous zine, y’all! @oddsandents.bsky.social did such an incredible job on the layout. It plays 2-player or solo. I’ll be giving it a try soon!

You may or may not know, I have a smallish (barely noticeable) obsession with Arthurian RPGs. When I found my package from Graftbound Press crumpled up in the Adept Icarus mailbox like it was being prepped as tinder for a bonfire, I’m sure I looked completely crestfallen.

Why just reprint when you can make a boxed set? I don’t know because WE’RE MAKING A BOXED SET.

Look what @sadgiffin.bsky.social made! Space Jeffwyn even has the little Adept Icarus logo patch!!

Played Tombpunk Mausoleum Edition tonight, and it’s true what they say. This game does not like you! It’s also incredibly fun. Orcine Volans managed to kick in a door, defeat some skeletons, and shed light on a dim and decrepit dungeon. All for the glorious sum on… ONE COIN.

You'd think I would be introspective after FIVE YEARS, but nope. I'm just thirsty for more people to play Arium. Special once in 5 years deals incoming!

If you saw us at a convention and we had Jeffwyn pins, would that be something: A. you would buy for a minimal price B. you’d be ecstatic to get free with a game purchase C. you aren’t really interested in

Looks like the deal is about to come to an end 🥺 We have no new copies of the cyanstarlight last chance Deluxe package to ship out yet today. It goes up to $59.99 from $40 after today. So I guess this is really the last chance?
