You'll never guess what we end up making when you hear the inspiration prompt...
Never be shy about asking straightforwardly for a contract. Find out your deadline, what exactly is expected of you, what the pay is, when it will be paid.
Asking for these things is not rude, it's a normal part of professional practice. Anyone who responds poorly is waving a red flag in your face!
It is a nightmare. I remember trying to look up small venues and several said they had capacity for up to 200 people? Small! Venues!

I'm looking at the applications we've had so far and there are so many fabulous people, but I KNOW there's more women and femmes of colour in the European TTRPG scene than this. There has to be!
Come and play on our channel, we are super nice and cool.
Darcy and I have spent all week texting each other like "I found another one!" "How has this one not funded yet?!"
We've put together a list of inventive, exciting, unique TTRPG zines by creators from at least 7 different countries that we are super excited about. We think you will be too!
We're at Β£1200!
If we get to Β£1500 everyone gets a second zine of my GMless ttrpg March Winds, April Showers. I'll give myself that additional work. Ill do this to myself. You wait.

EUphoria is majority WoC run. We know the pains of seeing all-white tables or being the token POC at actual plays. We won't contribute to that.
Women & femmes of colour in Europe, we need you. We want to play with you. We want celebrate you. We want to see ourselves in YOU.

I'm live on Twitch, working on one of my new Zinetopia one-pagers. Then later, I'll be sharing the writer chat @michellicopter.bsky.social and I did last week, where we chatted about our creative process and projects. www.twitch.tv/lalionnecosp...

The final stretch goal is a big swing: if we get to Β£1500 I will make a whole other zine, a revamped version of my GMless TTRPG March Winds, April Showers with original artwork, and send a digital copy to all backers at Β£5 or above
We're going to be sharing our interview with Michelle about her new game Lie To Him as part of our Zine Month series on Talk of the Table later this month.
Short version: Go back this project!
Really enjoyed this chat with @lalionnecosplay.bsky.social in which she shared many pearls of wisdom as a seasoned game designer and crowdfunder to newbie little me. You can tell this was recorded a bit before our campaigns went live because I ended up doing several things she suggested!

Hey we smashed the target and the first two stretch goals within 24 hours! My heart is so full, now I can pay all the people I'm collaborating with fully for their work π₯°
Now we move on to the next, potentially controversial stretch goal: Michelle Pays Herself

03.02.2026 12:16 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Little bonus thought: I'm aware these are not revolutionary insights. People have talked abour gendered differences in communication plenty. I was just struck by how much it affected me and my anxiety levels upon encountering this for the first time.
03.02.2026 12:12 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I don't have a point here other than - I had to remind myself that different folks have different communication styles and to take a deep breath and not think about it so much. So if you're finding work emails are getting you stressed, perhaps you'd benefit from the same? Go get that bag, girls.
03.02.2026 12:08 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0After living in a world of "is that ok with you?" "this is so great so far, just a few little things" and "no worries if not!" reading messages that didn't include those things sounded angry to me.
They weren't. It was just a matter of interpretation.
...
I consider myself a very direct and pretty business-like communicator and I still do all these things, try to make my messages... reassuring somehow? And I think a lot of men don't.
I'm not saying one way is better or that either approach is wrong. It's just different.
