Hectic Electron ➡️ Gen Con!

The Defy the Gods Quick Start is in this! Check it out! A great cause and a tremendous bunch of games.

I'm headed to Gen Con! I'm running several games of Defy the Gods in the @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social room, ICC 120. We still have a couple seats available! See you there ❤️‍🔥⚔️

END OF JULY! This month! Not August. 🤦

GAMA: THE GAME MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is the non-profit trade organization dedicated to serving the hobby games industry.

It's the last three days to apply for the Horizons Fellowship! This program changed my career. If you're a tabletop game publisher, or want to be one, you should apply! You get a booth at Origins, a table at GAMA Expo, a mentor & lots of networking. Apply by the end of August! gama.org/horizons

Hugo voting ends tomorrow. Vote in best series for the Southern Reach. It would be a win for abnormal story closure, passive aggressive cannibalism, husband owls, men who live on shelves, flesh doors, and crab eating white rabbits. Do it! (naw who cares)

Plus One is looking for 4 "Zine Weight" #TTRPS to help support next year in a very particular way.

We want to run 4 titles by newer creators through 4 different "funding platforms" & track the process for each one.

The platforms are:
-Kickstarter
-Backerkit
-Gamefound
-Zine Club

I know this has nothing to do with my game, but you couldn't've described it better. So...you might like it? Question mark? www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

And that’s a wrap! 🎉 Thank you, everyone! 806 backers, over $38K. You’re amazing; Defy the Gods wouldn’t exist without you.

Still, I’m looking forward to not posting every day on social media for a while 😴

Did I say $56? I mean $6. Six dollars.

SUKKERS: Queer Vamps Bite Back He was ready to die – now he’s fighting to keep our legacy alive 🦇

While I'm all in on my Kickstarter, I found another one I love. SUKKERS is a queer vampire cartoon that wants to be a feature film. The animation is charming, and the themes complement the ones in Defy the Gods. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dar...

We unlocked the Thief playbook! That dashing rogue who shows up where you least expect, steals your coin purse & your heart, & fences them both to Ninshar the Knife for a quick cash turnaround. Good luck getting either one back.
Now <$2K away from the recipe stretch goal!

Really great looking game with some unique mechanics. I particularly like the mechanic that let's the PC's have a scene as the villains as they plot and scheme.

Thank you so much! ❤️‍🔥⚔️

I had a lovely chat with Clifton of the Arcology Podcast yesterday, talking about Defy the Gods arcologypodcast.com/episode-175-...

Come on, I want those 𒅴𒂠* recipes!

⚔️I've known and admired Chrys for a long time, and I'm so excited to see the progress she's made through this Kickstarter. If you're into queer fantasy #TTRPGs, or swords & sorcery, you've only got 48 hours left to back this! ⚔️

Defy the Gods just hit its next stretch goal! We're getting an adventure seed by the excellent @sebastianyue.bsky.social! A dead god calls on you to let them live again—an invitation full of promise but leading to devastating choices. I can't wait!

silver mirror Last four days to back Defy the Gods on Kickstarter. This game is a silver mirror you can see yourself in. Look closer.

À propos of yesterday's post, I wrote a newsletter about mirrors. At its heart, this game—maybe every RPG—is a mirror. To see yourself differently. Especially if you really need to.

Tabletop Gaymers is such a lovely group. I had a really good time, and I can't wait to run it at Gen Con!

Portrait of the Revenant, stepping out of a tunnel and basking in the sun, with a demon coming up behind them about to attack.

Writing the Revenant, my last playbook, finally cracked my egg and helped me realize I was trans.

I had to make this game for me, but now it's yours. I hope you all play the hell out of it. I hope a few of you play it out of hell.
