🚨 RED ALERT 🚨 Pencil Book Quest is now live on Kickstarter!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gru... #boardgames
An open, ring-bound notebook folded over to show a single page. The page shows a level of Pencil Book Quest. Left of the notebook is a hex pencil with pips so the pencil can double as a die. Behind the notebook is a partially visible bookmark for storing stats. The words "Live on Kickstarter" are above.

Always good to keep in mind — when you see "big" crowdfunding numbers, that's mostly just big expenses. It's never safe to assume any company or project is "rolling in the dough" so much as frantically trying to make the dough provided turn into bread while not setting the bakery on fire.

Calling all boardgame (and possibly TTRPG?) content creators! We're looking for reviewers (and other creators) to cover our upcoming game, Pencil Book Quest. If interested, comment here or DM us! #boardgames #ttrpg
From left to right: a pencil with black pips etched into it for using as pencil die, a wire-bound notebook opened to a single page, showing a level of the game, a bookmark at an angle partially covered by the notebook, some text and a logo. The text says "Pencil Book Quest: A pencil & paper dungeon crawler. 1 player, 5-10 minutes, 14+". The logo is an arrow that has been altered to also look like a pencil.

Several pencils lined up on a rack under a laser engraver. The pencils have pips engraved into each of their six sides so the pencils can double as dice.
