Again, this was a lie. It’s provably a lie. I’m going to lose my entire mind because our newspapers cannot accurately report that the President of the US lied about being carried out of the rubble of the WTC when there is audio of him on 9/11 bragging about his building being taller now

My home game Shadowdark players are so chaotic. Which is a blessing, because it means I can converge all the consequences they try to run from into one wild conflict 😌

If you weren't at the Daggerheart panel at GenCon, the secret is out! I've fallen off the face of the earth because I'm co-lead designing a setting book for Daggerheart!! It has been an absolute dream of mine and I get to work with some of the most amazing people in the world to bring it to life.

We're Infinite Citadel, a co-op TTRPG publisher creating anti-ordinary games of infinite expression. For humans, by humans. Not to deny reality, but elevate it. Stories connect us, and we want to help you tell yours. #portfolioday

Mockups of the two covers of "Before the Bog God". On the left is a darker cover with green linework. The central image depicts a wisher mid-ritual, while the smirking leviathan looks down from the window frame above. On the right is the lighter cover with red linework. The central image is of the smirking leviathan - a massive eldritch worm with many eyes and tendrils of shadow - looming over a ritual site with six torches. The silhouette of a person approaches the ritual site while a cunning auspex looks down from the window frame above.

Cover artwork for The Beckoning Dream. A strange figure of infinite power stands in the center, eight arms outstretched. Crows and wolves comprise its amorphous, shadowy body as it offers us different implements: a sword; the Sun card; a wand; the Hermit card; a chalice; the Moon card, burning; the Ace of Pentacles; and an outstretched hand, beckoning you inward towards a surreal landscape of infinite possibilities. Mountains encase the skyline as a red dragon and space station float above. The crescent moon drips blood while a meteor flies across the sky. The figure splits a scene in the foreground. On the left side, a bridge, guarded by the Guardian Troll who sits in its shadow, crosses over to The Citadel atop a floating landmass. On the other side a figure walks towards The Tower, their outline shifting with chromatic distortions that convey a sense of power akin to the central figure's, but not yet fully developed. Near the cataclysmic tower is a pond and a tree. Disembodied eyes peer out from the figure above tendrils of flame.

Whew! Less than 24hrs in and we're blowing past stretch goals! We've unlocked FIVE goals, meaning the book will now be at least 125,000 words long and feature an exclusive translation of an award-winning Francophone F&SF story from 2025! Up next: INTERIOR ARTWORK! Can we unlock that by end of day???
