I have achieved one of my long time goals: I’m a sponsored artist with a cool guitar company! I’m now a proud player of a KLOS Artemis Custom! It’s a carbon fiber guitar that feels and sounds great! I’m very excited to play more shows with it and use it to record the next gloomy june album.

Whoa, Pale Dot got nominated for an Indie Groundbreaker Award for "Best Rules"! www.igdnonline.com/groundbreakers Thanks to @sifsweetman.bsky.social for the amazing cover art, @tenpenjenn.com for editing, and @plusoneexp.bsky.social for helping me get the Kickstarter off the ground last year!

This update is what some folks in the biz would call an "Ashcan" but I deeply dislike that term so I've dubbed this the GENESIS VERSION. It has everything you could need to play a campaign but is not finalized or content complete. If you end up checking it out I'm extremely eager to get notes!
The opening text of the game. Features some demonic symbols and an intro summary shaped like an upside down cross.

I was scrolling through Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal for fun images to use for Mourningstar and was jumpscared by this. The book is french and I didn't bother to translate it so I have no clue what the context is.
