Very Sincerely Yours: An H/W Zine 🏠

And that's all there is to it! Your next update from us will be when we share pictures of our merchandise arriving, or otherwise to notify if there are any changes to our production schedule.

Take care everyone, and happy holidays! 🪿💎

Our current timeline is looking something like this (but is subject to unexpected delays):

What happens now? First of all, we have two weeks until Kickstarter sends us the funds raised through this campaign. In that time, we will complete our final proofs of the book and merchandise, so that when the money arrives we'll be prepared to order all of our physical items.

Campaign closed!🎉 In the end, we raised $47,724 CAD with a whopping 971 backers--far beyond what we imagined when we first planned this campaign.

We're so excited to finally realize this project in physical form, thank you all for believing in us!

Home, thought I weakly. What a beautiful notion. I had a brief flash of my younger self, determined and curious enough about the world to sign up for a bloody war. I wondered if he ever could have seen himself making a home out of the rooms I had at Baker Street. Truth be told, he would probably have scoffed at the very idea. I was roused from my stupor when Holmes paused his précis of the investigation. “You are very silent this evening, Watson.” He paused another moment. “I do hope I'm not boring you.” The mixed exasperation and concern in his voice seemed to awaken me. “Certainly not!” I cried. “I beg your pardon my dear fellow. I—well, that is to say—” “You are tired,” Holmes remarked astutely. “I am not surprised. Indeed, I have been expecting such a thing for some time now.” The Adventure of the Gaping Charwoman is a tale sufficiently horrific and scandalous enough that it will be many years before my account of it will be made available to the public. It was also, in my experience, one of the shortest cases I had—as yet—witnessed Sherlock Holmes set his mind upon: brought to his attention at the dinner table, it was already closed and the culprit apprehended in the small hours of the following morning. It was the resolution of this very case that we were returning from. All this to say, Holmes’ remark of suspicion ‘for some time now’ took me rather by surprise.

Here's a snippet of my contribution to the @verysincerelyyours.bsky.social zine!

The Kickstarter is live until the 21st and there's a fun drawing livestream planned for tomorrow (Sat the 13th)!

Go on over and check it out! 💕

Thank you Helen for the feature, and we’re so excited for your next game!! 🥰

Angering the Fae — The Wonder Room If I were to go down the Arthur Conan Doyle route and start believing in mysterious supernatural entities, I think I’d definitely feel like I’ve annoyed one this month. Clearly some disgruntled fae be...

My November newsletter is out! In this edition, I contemplate whether or not I've angered some kind of mildly malevolent supernatural being, talk about attending AdventureX, and give a sneak peek of a comic I've got in a currently Kickstarting anthology!
