Late pledges for our @leagueofgeeks.com Armello Kickstarter will CLOSE this Sunday, February 15th!

Believe it or not, we've seen over $9K in late pledges since the end of the campaign! If you missed out, this is your last chance to pledge: bit.ly/armello-late...

Post a banger that's not in English. youtu.be/o7xY1wGfD0U

From Ukrainian band Ot Vinta. Heard a snippet on public radio back in like 2014 but didn't get the song or band, so I actually reached out to the host of the segment directly X)

Aw man, looks like they accidentally swapped in the subtitles from Enrico Pallazzo’s performance of Nessun Dorma at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

HECK YEAH! Congratulations on the reveal! What a killer looking game! :D

The design doc for the game, printed out in arcane runes, lies at the base of their Paris HQ and pulses with a dark, malevolent energy.

Every time somebody thinks about cancelling it, there is a tremor through the foundation. Then, no matter where he is on Earth, Yves Guillemot gets a nosebleed.

2008 by the way was the same year Ubisoft released Far Cry 2 and a year before Assassin's Creed 2. Establishing templates that would persist for over a decade.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 surviving the massive shakeup indicates to me that it's evolved beyond just being some game in dev hell--it's Ubisoft deep lore.

To cancel a game first spoken of in the ancient tomes of 2008, the Glory Days, would be tantamount to corporate heresy.

Sunsgrove Studios

Today's indie game: War of the Western Deep (sunsgrove.games). Currently just a demo on Steam, but a competent old-school LucasArts style graphic adventure, with gorgeous art. For people nostalgic for those days, this is one to keep an eye on (among many other graphic adventures in IGF this year).

I crave the overhead goo fridge.

Yeah it was a very early 2000's kind of "here's a crazy concept that is totally impractical but looks really cool!"

But hey, "Weird goo fridge" has lived rent free in my head for like 20 years so clearly it did SOMETHING right X)

I couldn't remember what it was called and ALSO searched for "Weird goo fridge" to find it! 😆

If you make me choose between the subscription-based AI-powered voice-controlled refrigerator that plays TikToks and serves ads or the weird goo fridge

I'll probably pick the weird goo fridge.

Setting up a Plex server has demonstrated no algorithm is capable of handling my dumb media collection.

"This is The Super Mario Bros. Movie by Illumination, yes?"

"No, it's the live-action 1993 one."

"And clearly you mean Netflix's Carmen Sandiego?"

"Actually it's the PBS game show from 1991."

Late pledges for @leagueofgeeks.com's "Armello: The Founding and the Fall" have been such a hit that we're extending them until the end of January as we lock things down for production!

Missed the campaign? No worries! You can still pledge all through next month! bit.ly/armello-late...

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

This was actually one of the last straws for us dealing with our old publisher—it was mind-boggling that they were insisting we put THEIR logo on the cover and give them a bunch of free copies in exchange for a vague promise of getting it into stores.

Never saw a DIME from them.

We finished our campaign strong, and with @kickstarter.com's great new Late Pledges feature, we're keeping the campaign OPEN and already crossed $100K!

Late pledges get ALL the benefits of normal pledges, including stretch goal bonuses, so even if you missed out...you didn't! bit.ly/armello-late...

Armello: The Founding and the Fall Ten years ago Armello brought tabletop adventures to life. Now, delve into its lore-rich world with this gorgeous hardcover omnibus!

ONLY ONE HOUR LEFT! And so close to $100k and 1k followers!

@tdcpresents.bsky.social approached us in 2023 with the idea of a Kickstarter for a collection of his novellas. Almost all of the money from your pledges go directly towards supporting his great work.

I can hardly believe it, but we SMASHED our $85K stretch goal and now EVERY BOOK is getting some killer painted page edges!

At 10 HOURS, we have one stretch goal left: an exclusive, premium book slipcase with original art! Get your pledge in before time runs out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

My Armello Kickstarter collaboration with @leagueofgeeks.com is drawing to a close in 24 hours, but what a ride it's been!

We're over 300% funded, and inching closer to a killer stretch goal to boot! If you haven't checked it out yet, now's the time!

Aaaaaah, thank you!!! :)

Aaaah thanks so much man! And thanks for the shout-out! :D

Wooo!! Congratulations, man!!

EXT. WHITE HOUSE - TURKEY PARDONING CEREMONY
An alien craft lands on the south lawn. A metal hatch opens.

Space turkeys. With laser guns. Shit.

The turkey that was about to be pardoned pulls out its own laser gun.

They gobble in alien tongues.

The Kickstarter I'm running with @leagueofgeeks.com ends early Dec 4th! bit.ly/armello-last...

We've got in-game Geek Dice and the Black Company skins, tons of fun rewards, and the centerpiece: a gorgeous hardcover that should fit perfectly alongside your copies of Redwall and Mossflower!

Autocorrect once again bringing joy to our lives by being terrible

After receiving an outpouring of requests for the once-exclusive Black Company hero skins, the amazing folks at @leagueofgeeks.com surprised me today: we can bring them back!

Every pledge at the Digital Collector's Edition or higher now gets the skins INCLUDED! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...
