Question for the crafters. My favorite shirt is super faded, but I don't want to get rid of it. an I fix it with a sharpie or will it all wash out?

I'm going to be transparent here. I love this book. @ceronomus.bsky.social did an amazing job. The mines of Grungin are creepy. The encounters are original. The big reveal is genuinely surprising. It's one of the best DCC adventures I've ever read. Love it. Love it. Love it. We launch in 1 week.

I've used Mixam for years. Spent ~$62K so far. The print quality is first rate, but man... their shipping team keeps packing things in a way that all but guarantees my stuff gets destroyed in transit. My current order arrived (sort of) with 2/3 of the books missing or too damaged to sell.

GenCon looks like tremendous fun, but man... that is a LOT of people. Pretty sure it would require an upgrade to my social battery that hasn't been invented yet. Have fun though!

In the last month I've joined the IGDA, the TTGDA, and applied for membership in the IGDN. Any others I should know about? I'm looking to do some networking.

If you could make only one 70s/80s Marvel licensed IP into a TV series, would it be Micronauts, ROM Spaceknight, or Shogun Warriors? And how would you do it? I need to live vicariously through someone else's retro toy imagination for a few beats.

Watching the later seasons of the Clone Wars and being acutely aware of what happens to all those younglings hits different.

KINLESS holds a special place for me. I spent 3 years writing it. Through Covid, losing an eye, losing my job, the death of my daughter, the naysayers who said I'd never finish... I kept plugging away and pouring more of myself into it. it's done and it's out there and I'm proud of it.

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

The DTRPG sale was a big success, pushing KINLESS and Explore Dungeons Zine higher on the sales charts. KINLESS is now a Silver Best Seller, which makes me super happy. So THANK YOU to everyone that dropped in and bought something. I appreciate you.

I saw Supergirl last night. it's not perfect, nor does it need to be, but it was quite good. There are some pretty heavy themes in the movie, which I won't overtly spoil, but I will throw out a TW for (implied) SA.

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

We are 31 bucks from the final stretch goal, with 4 days to go and it's literally* killing me... the last goal is a set of mutant minis, perfect for your post apocalyptic adventures. We're so close.... *ok no, not literally, but you know what I mean.

Going to Origins this week (for the first time) and wow THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF TO DO I'm trying not to overbook myself, but OMG. I'm really excited. Also, if you see a guy in an Explore Dungeons t-shirt, there's a 66% chance it's me, so say hi.

Can I just rent a cabin in the woods for 6 people and do nothing but eat junk food, sleep, and play RPGs for a week straight? Who's in? I promise not to snap and kill anyone.

Rewatching The X-Files and sure not all episodes aged well, but overall I'd say it holds up. It's still as riveting as it was 28 years ago.

It's looking like a busy summer for heroes. I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu in May, Supergirl is coming out this month, and Spider-Man Brand New Day is next month. Also a new season of X-Men 97 later this summer. What are you excited about?

I love RPG funnels and MCC really makes it hilarious. Imagine thinking you're just a scrub, watching all your friends die, only to "discover" you were actually a laser-eyed mutant or poison spraying sentient plant all along. Do you roleplay the "transformation" a level 1? or just roll with it?

6 seconds... so close. We were 6 seconds away from the end of Overtime Mode and then we got extended again! This is hour 46 of Overtime Mode for all projects connected to Mega Dungeon Mont.

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

BackerKit has Overtime Mode. If people keep backing your project, it keeps extending the end by 10 min so you MIGHT get xtra $$. BUT if you're a collab project, ALL extend if ANY get backed in OT. 13+ hrs of OT feels like I'm hosting a NYE party but THE BALL NEVER DROPS and we're all zombies now.

Like your adventures a little WEIRD? Three-eyed goblins, psychic plants, and a carnivorous cauldron (among other things) await you in this Castle Whiterock tie-in adventure for DCC RPG and 5th Edition...

Seems like nearly every crowdfunding project hits a point, a couple weeks in, where the wind stops blowing, and the boat stops moving. That's us right now. Usually it lasts about a week and then picks back up near the end, but right now it's suuuper quiet out here. This is my message in a bottle.

We didn't do stretch goals this time around, because the books already had everuthing I wanted in them. They are done, all the art, all the writing, the layout, everything but the printing. Does having (or not) stretch goals affect your decision to back a project? Do you get excited about them?

000

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I've lost 9 backers (so far) on my project since Dungeon Crawler Carl launched. It's not a lot and we're still doing well, but it's disappointing. Yes, you always lose a few, but this is the first I've lost so many in such a short period, so it feels like there's a connection, even if there isn't.

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

A key part of the adventure are these adorably territorial three-eyed goblins called Triglins. They're super cute (and deadly of course). I think they're awesome. So of course, Raven made minis of them and you can add them to your pledge! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Did I mention a new printing of KINLESS coming in June? Did I also mention it has a SILVER FOIL VEGVISIR cover? Ok but did I mention it will be VERY limited quantity? No Kickstarter / BackerKit for this, so please call / visit your FLGS and beg them to order it from the distributor (or Studio 2).

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I know I'm late to the party, but I started Dungeon Crawler Carl yesterday. Im about 3 chapters in and it's got some interesting concepts for sure. I assume the cat levels up at some point.

My Barbarian is still trekking along... I'm about halfway through ACT II of Diable II Resurrected. I've got the Horadric Cube and The Staff of Kings and yes, the Maggot Lair is just as gross and annoying in HD as you might expect.
