Can someone explain the new “reserve your pledge” emails when pre-saving a product on BackerKit or Kickstarter? The trinkets that used to come with early pledging are now gatekept behind $3 reservation charges. Idk what we’re reserving. Will you limit pledges? Can I not support your game?

Prefer plants to most people? Think Gotham would be better with Poison Ivy running it? The Botanist might be your Ivory Tower archetype! With the botanist you will: - craft cures to all ailments - collect and cultivate plantà from all over reality - let your garden feast on Ivory Tower citizens

I've play tested this game and it rocks. Also mason wrote and did all the artwork for it (which also rocks). If you like the idea of playing wizards who are tasked to lead society and really are into the political nature of that theme, you'll really like this!

Spent my whole life taking art classes, learning figure drawing, and making art, which makes it all the more frustrating when it feels like I can’t quite articulate an artistic vision for a project 😂☠️ The @gamefound.bsky.social #RPGParty process has been a real helpful opportunity to learn, though!

Mock-up of a retro-style action figure in blister packaging against a gritty red and black background featuring a faint car silhouette. Text at the top reads "THE DAGGERHEART HORROR HACK" above a large, distressed red title, "HOW'S MY DRIVING?". Inside the clear plastic blister pack is an action figure of a person wearing a black leather jacket, dark shirt, and jeans, with their head completely wrapped in a white plastic bag. Next to the figure are three accessories: a bent tire iron, a small crumpled plastic bag, and a set of keys. A yellow starburst sticker on the bottom left of the plastic reads "THE PLASTIC BAGMAN" and "WITH REAL WORKING PHONE NUMBER". On the right side of the packaging, a large black and white starburst shape contains the text "FROM THE HIT ENNIE NOMINATED ACTUAL PLAY ON YouTube" alongside the YouTube logo.
