with the economy being the way it is i feel like physical fulfillment for indie rpgs should just be a print-ready pdf, a google maps link to your local kinko's, and a written guide on gluing a book together.

every time i see a youtube video these days that's like "a retrospective on [childhood video game]" i just think of this quote from the king of elfland's daughter. we simply don't need another look back at twilight princess

the thing about sunhat pikachu is that he has the same energy as uncle with a new job blastoise to me. sunhat pikachu is your uncle who just got back from a vacation to hawaii but mentally he never left

there's about $25k left to reach this goal but at the rate the campaign's been going i'd be surprised if it doesn't clear by the time the campaign wraps. looking forward to introducing you all to nahi!

stretch goal description & author bio for blades '68 crowdfunding campaign. goal : "Hematite Dreams. The Leviathans are gone. They must be gone. If they were here, we would be harvesting their blood. So Nahiβ€”Anahita Taslim, but everyone calls her Nahiβ€”must be losing it. That's the only explanation for why she can't stop dreaming about them. That's why the egg in her home must be a hallucination."

bio: "Kavita Poduri (she/her) is a writer and game designer who likes working on the blurry edge between sci-fi and fantasy. She's the creator of the tabletop RPGs Songs for the Dusk and Sunblack, as well as the designer responsible for the Clockwork module used for Blades '68's own crafting system."

got tapped for the $330k stretch goal for blades '68's crowdfunder! as someone whose own game design career was kickstarted by the original blades in the dark, it's wild to be a part of this: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...
