Attention Worldcon communityβ€”we just realized that the nominating period is open for this year's Hugo Awards. We have been finalists twice before (2016, 2017) and our 2025 album Dead Channel Skyβ€”a dystopian cyberpunk rap raveβ€”is eligible in the Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) category

1. for post-KS sales, both a Deernicorn TikTok going viral and a feature in Threads Magazine(a huge sewing mag) were significant bumps for A Mending.

2. Someone with a huge audience that would be receptive but not in the TTRPG field. Guillermo Del Toro?

JANUARY is a postcard-writing game about two artists living ordinary lives over five decades, in a world besieged by giant kaiju.

We are one week into the JANUARY campaign and it has been great. We are sending this to print immediately at campaign close and shipping once the books hit the warehouse(thanks, @whitesquirrel.com !), so you'll get this game real soon!

note also: if you are hungry for a fresh and historically-informed take on Paul Bunyan, you are legally required to check out @shing.bsky.social's Legend of Auntie Po www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/601780...

and you've got three more days to get in on this collaborative storytelling game that can be played with whatever trading cards you have (I tried to use my Costco and AAA cards but Geoffrey said no to that).

I played a delightful game of ALL-CARDS with @geoffreygolden.bsky.social using a deck pulled from the Strange Beast Tarot, @jameybash.bsky.social's Tarot of Sorts and Alexander Burden's Tarot Obscura!

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

I promise I am not being squirrelly about giving you access to crowdfunding tips and tricks (instagram ads? tagging celebs? launching on tuesdays?)! I also don't know what they are!

I do know what I want to spend my one wild and precious life on earth doing and it is just like...making the thing.

I am very often asked for my crowdfunding advice and my best advice is really to just make things that are an accurate representation of your voice as an artist, don't make people wait too long to get them, and do it really consistently. two out of three might even be enough, but it will take years.

a few weeks ago, i said to my partner that I wasn't going to support anymore kickstarters this year.

the week following, shing said they were launching this.

i have a personal obligation to support literally anything shing does, so.

you should get this.

We've hit over 12k in the last 24 hours, and I won't spend the next 30 days yelling about this game! We've made a beautiful game in an interesting and tactile format about keeping on when the world feels at the brink of existential collapse. I hope you will support us!

Breaking my observance to say this is exactly where my head is right now, & I’m excited to support my own distant artist-friend again with this project.

AAAAND WE FUNDED, thank you everyone!! Intl people, do not worry, you'll be able to get a copy through our store or distributors afterwards - dealing with intl shipping through KS was just not something we had the bandwidth to figure out this time!
