The world needs more robot OCs. RobOCs, if you will.

Lastly, social media was the largest contributor to our campaign although we fell short. It felt like the algorithms hid us from view everywhere. We will continue to diversify with new official accounts on other platforms. The long outage on bluesky hit at a really bad time. Options are a must.

We will also return to KS with a lower funding goal. I can do that by accepting more of the development costs spread out over the months. This does mean it will take longer to make the game. I apologize for the wait. In a perfect world we would have all the funding we need to do it quicker instead.

I want to be as transparent as possible about what we are doing and especially how we price things. Pledges should be affordable at their price point, while also not incurring a loss for us because that defeats the point of raising the money. If I can cover it without passing on the cost, I will.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The two biggest issues I identified with our campaign were lack of exposure/traffic and price point during a recession. I can do something about the latter first. Previous pledge tiers took into account 20% (total) fees and taxes. I can bring that down to 10% over cost and cover the rest later.

Our book campaign unfortunately did not reach its goal. However, we will return to Kickstarter later this year to try again. Thank you so much to everyone who backed and supported our project. We could not have come this far without you. See you next time! www.kickstarter.com/projects/434...

Hi everyone. We unfortunately did not meet our funding goal in time, but that does not mean it is the end for Cynder. We will return to Kickstarter later this year with a revised approach and try agai...

Small little guy takes on existential horror beyond comprehension and seems pretty chill about it. That’s my impression from the image anyway.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

We did not reach our goal this time but we will be back. Thank you to everyone who backed and supported our game. I will have a proper update on Cynder after work.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It is now the final day of the campaign for Cynder and we are still about halfway from our goal, but we can reach it if we get a lot of new visitors. Help us make the book by backing or sharing and get more cool art like you see below. There will always be someone who discovers a new favorite. :)

Art Aizek Kass. The prince/princess tarot card you can choose to influence your character. The prince has a sun motif and the princess on the inverted side has a moon motif.

Art Heckttor Penfrei. A dryad woman with the hunter class, showing off her skills with a bow while tracking prey.

Art Przemek Gul. An elven woman with the captain class raises her banner high, red hair and cape billowing in the wind.

The final big update to the Kickstarter is up with 3 days remaining in the campaign. It has even more art and handy adventuring tips to make sure you are prepared for the journeys ahead. Only a few more days to reach our goal with your help! www.kickstarter.com/projects/434... #ttrpg #kickstarter

Bluesky is working again on my desktop after being broken for several weeks due to a website update. We shall see if it stays working. The issue came at a bad time for us when we were trying to promote our game, but luckily I've been able to keep up with limited features in the mobile version.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The final Friday of the Cynder campaign. Only a few more days to back the project if you want to help us make this game. Sharing and talking about Cynder also helps! Hopefully it can become someone’s new favorite. :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/434...

Cynder: Small Heroes and Town-Building RPG

Play as goblins, halflings, and other small folk. Explore a mysterious island shrouded in gloom and build a new town together.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

That’s the impression I get as well. There are other “monster cookbook” adventures that are more Monster Hunter inspired. It could be a sub-genre someday.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Ah, the high school days with the overblown vocabulary of several books shoved into one sentence. It is a part of growing. :)

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’ve had issues through google (not play store) and other systems where buttons no longer work. It’s like everything is slowly coming apart. Then you have to ask how much of that is intentional bad design to benefit them in some way.

Dang it, another one. Good luck finding a new hosting site. Pain in the butt using any services right now.

Oh man I missed those short stories they had attached to items and lore entries. The story was great when they allowed it to get really weird and dark.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Hey, hang in there. Sorry you are going through all that. Hope you find more work soon.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Oh yeah, you could just be in that world for hours. The transitioning music and scale of the world were impressive, and you could spend forever trying to do a thing you didn’t know was impossible because it just felt like you could do it. A lost form of exploration from the classics.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

That is consistent across pretty much every field and time period. I read some biographies from early TV and radio eras that have much the same experience, only with more smoking in public, which I am glad has gone out of fashion.

020

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Personally I saw a lot of them start around that season. That’s also the time of year I first found them so long ago.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I’m not familiar with the latter example but I understand the sentiment. It feels like you are not even having the same conversation between groups. Then the person you elect still might not care.

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We are now at the halfway point of our campaign and nearly halfway funded! We are right on track, but with your help we could push even further beyond. If you like town building and rolling dice, come check us out. We have cool art. :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/434...

It would be great if someone ran for office on accountability and actually meant it. We get constant ads in election season, each blaming the other party for the exact same thing with data centers, then they all sit on their hands and ignore it.

I like the design patterns on her clothes. They make me think of Tidal Blades with the swooping sun and wave motif. :)

I found blueberry soft licorice. Much less work but admittedly not the same experience.

That is a lot of creative sword ideas. I like drawing the sword from the pattern and his awkward reactions to less effective swords.

The market setup kind of reminds me of Moonlighter. Finding what people need or what you can stock for the right value.

Thanks for letting us share. Our latest TTRPG called Cynder is now live on Kickstarter. Be small heroes, build a town and explore the world. Uses a d6 system kind of like Yahtzee. Best of luck to others on their projects! www.kickstarter.com/projects/434...

Lamplighter Games @generalredland.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Each weekend of the campaign for Cynder we will have an update showing off more art and materials for the game. We teased some of the tarot cards earlier this summer and in our next update you get to see them all. The art team did fantastic work here and I think you are going to like them. :)
