Tradlife is a psychological horror solo TTRPG about reproductive labor, weaponized incompetence, and support networks. It requires a 6-sided die, a coin, and paper and pencil. It can be played in less than an hour.

Your goal is to survive your kids’ childhood with your personality intact, get divorced, or learn to love your life. The choice is up to you.

You are a tradwife. You’ve given up your career to invest in your feminine energy. Your husband is providing for you; you’re living a beautiful, soft life; and your kids are just so photogenic. Thank goodness nothing could possibly go wrong.

People are much more willing to help you for free if it's for a good cause, so make sure it's clear that it's not for your personal enrichment.

Marketing matters! Tell people what's happening, both online and in the real world. Good graphics matter. If you don't have a good eye for design, find someone who does. Give presentations about your project at events if someone lets you. If it makes sense for you, buy advertising.

Finn (Swan and Raven Studio) @swanandravenstudio.com · 27/02/2026

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. Highlight people's contributions to the project. Compliment them. Thank people both publicly and privately (if both are possible).

Finn (Swan and Raven Studio) @swanandravenstudio.com · 27/02/2026

Deadlines matter! Tell people they matter, then make them matter. No one gets anything done otherwise. Sometimes, people still won't get things done. Still, you have to have those pesky deadlines.

Finn (Swan and Raven Studio) @swanandravenstudio.com · 27/02/2026

Set a concrete, ambitious but achievable number to work towards. People are more likely to give and will give higher amounts when there is a concrete goal to reach. How big of a goal should you set? Depends on the structure of your fundraiser.

I printed a TTRPG zine last summer and raised $3,600 for legal aid with it! Looking back, here are some of my takeaways about running such a project, with an emphasis on fundraising and project management:

Late post because I needed to rest after the fundraiser but I wanted to stop and take a moment to thank everyone for their help on this project. Back in April, I didn't expect just how much of a lift this would be and how much impact it would have. But I'm so grateful for everyone's support.

🦀Rockpool - a tiny RPG about tiny Rockpool creatures. Will you build yourselves a tower to watch the sea, hunt periwinkle shells, face off against the monstrous power of a shore crab, or learn magic from the grief-tossed Driftwood Hag and the mysterious Watcher in Seaglass? The choice is yours!
