Get more from Perplexing Ruins on Patreon creating Illustrations and tabletop rpg material

Ok, gonna say it. Patreon income needs to go up. $1000/mo would put me into the realm of actual income and remove the need to hustle for lots of commissions.

So if you didn't get wrecked by taxes, and want to support a creative you can check that out here

Maya's Relocation Fund by lukegearing, Millicent Malice Maya's Relocation Fund: Kill Luke Gearing, Glass Men for $12.00

Don't wanna pester folks too much, but I've been homeless for the last year and we're currently fundraising to get me over to somewhere I'll have safe housing and can finally start living a better life.

Advice for how to fund a Kickstarter:
- wait several years between Kickstarters
- don't do a good job of maintaining a mailing list
- neglect social media
- spend the two weeks the campaign is active mostly playing games instead of doing promotion
- panic in the last two hours

And it funded! Even if at the very last minute

Apparently all these games I'm playing make me pace back and forth and my roommate has informed me it makes an annoying sound

Edart did say he was doing all that knowing it would likely get him killed, if that helps

And it was really impressive how you pulled that off

I've started a blog writing PbTA-esque moves for games that don't exist. It lives here: onamiss.bearblog.dev

Up until someone sends me a poem they wrote in a cataphracts game that makes me cry in real life

20.02.2026 00:08 — 👍 16    🔁 0    💬 2    📌 0

In cataphracts there's a trait called "poet" that has a pretty substantial impact on morale and I guess I was always sort of like, how much of a morale impact can someone who writes poetry actually have

You generally want to either divide attacks between different enemies or do things other than just attacking. Like if you are fighting one super strong monster it encourages creative approaches

Combat also usually goes very quickly

A fantastic-looking zine by @seedlinggames.bsky.social that deserves to have your eye-holes upon it.

Have a pretty strong feeling it's not going to fund unless I get a huge burst of funders when/if Kickstarter ever gives me the zine quest label

But then I guess it's still successful in the sense of knowing if this is a viable product before spending money on it

Finished first full sized miniphracts! I think a lot went well, there's also a lot I'd do differently next time

The trouble is that when you submit your Kickstarter you set a fixed completion time, and also the form for submitting to zine quest is separate from the form for submitting to Kickstarter this year, so I did one without the other

14.02.2026 06:42 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

Oh I already started the campaign is the thing

But this year submitting to zine quest is a totally different form

You only *really* need one week for a Kickstarter right

I like filled out the form to submit my project to zine quest and then failed to hit submit

And now it's like we will review this in three business days

So lol

Ok I did a kickstarter after all. Just a very small one.

I do think the Kickstarter spammer problem has gotten worse

I may need to give up on this this month, the frequency of my migraines has greatly increased and I am doing too much cataphracts

my updates in one post.
Dropped this new drawing to my patrons this week! I think it's pretty fucking rad.
Also, I'm selling these game books at a steep discount so I can afford stuff. Snag some prints and such, cause these are great prices, and frankly, cool books :)
Cheers
