I’m having so much fun drawing the haunted house for first-day backers! I’ll clean it up a little, but I want to leave some organic squiggle in the line. Something you can tell a human being made. On 10/2, I’ll send all current backers a link to the PDF.

Believe me when I say every piece of art and design I have seen from our amazing team has been staggering. I am being spoiled rotten, and if you also want more eye candy than you can handle, then why not follow the launch? Over 700 people have!

Your annual reminder that any treats that have black icing are probably using activated charcoal for coloring which neutralizes meds like, say, birth control pills. Ask my cousin. Quint's 6 now. This also applies to antibiotics and head meds. Be careful, please.

We took the best parts from the Total Chaos Edition (RIP) & threw them in a "Junk Drawer" add-on to open new vistas for your raccoon raids. Someone asked, could you pledge for just the Junk Drawer if you already have the box set? And you know what? Yes. Yes you can.

In lavish black & white, the box set lets you play raccoons, possums, pigeons, debonaire rats or indestructible roaches. Voyage to 4 different houses. Choose from 60 Complications cards to play. Plus a 12-sided raccoon die. All for a pledge of just $29 + shipping.

After canceling the Total Chaos Edition (RIP), I resolved not to mess with what made the original so much fun. We tossed the best parts of the bigger game into an add-on called the Junk Drawer—custom maps, hex tiles, portrait cards, bottlecaps, dumpster-fire meeple & extra dice. Amazing art. 3/5

I never saw a more @mikemignola.bsky.social movie than Trollhunter—until I saw Errementari on Netflix last night. Takes something ridiculous and treats it with a deadpan straight face. Both movies are about folktales, but this one has Hell in it. Plus, shako hats. www.netflix.com/us/title/802...

In Raccoon Sky Pirates, you roll to see what you do, because you’re a raccoon & you just don’t know. Your raccoon has their own list of 12 things they might do. Each is tagged with 1–3 of your approaches – except 12, which is always “make things worse.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...
