Cosmos XII - Green Stranger And The Snake

I even had a diagnosis of autism while following the project, in a way I've also gone through a journey of my own during this project's founding

it looks like we'll be able to get the thief stretch goal as well. let me just say I am super happy with how far this project has come

@hecticelectron.bsky.social huge congratulations for reaching 500 backers

My discord account and personal email got hacked, what a start to the week

I may not have the platform but I'm a very ride or die kinda person lol. This is the best project I've seen in a while so now I'm forever loyal

@hecticelectron.bsky.social congratulations on officially getting the funds for defy the gods

The Sword character tries to pull the hypnotized Revenant out of the Underworld, toward the cave mouth and the sun.

Happy Friday! We need just $1,150 more to reach our funding goal. So we might just do it today! If you haven’t pledged yet, _you_ can push us over the top. Ensure this book becomes a reality! Get some queerness in your sword & sorcery and vice versa.

Last push, the gods will fall

Can we get to 400 followers for the new Defy the Gods Kickstarter? Tell your friends, tell your enemies—it launches on Tuesday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Decided to get more stuff by Van Vogt since I'm reading The Beast and it's an interesting book.

Coming soon: Defy the Gods RPG Queer sword & sorcery tabletop role-playing

I'm canceling the Kickstarter for Defy the Gods and planning a new one with a more modest funding goal. You can find the preview at www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec.... We'll get this awesome game made! ⚔️🏺❤️‍🔥

I can't help but wonder if I should be writing this novelette in English rather than Italian

Thank you for creating such a project honestly. It's become my hyperfixation honestly 😆

The Kickstarter algorithm hasn't blessed this game (yet). Do you have any plans for a relaunch of the campaign if that happens to be needed? (I will back it again in a heartbeat, as many times as needed)

Portraits of the six playbooks: Wolfling, Sailor, Sword, Revenant, Sorcerer, and Vessel

In Defy the Gods, you play a silver-tongued Sailor, chaos-loving Sorcerer, deadly Sword, fugitive Revenant, immortal-sworn Vessel or wild-raised Wolfling. Each has their own unique talents, flaws & arc of glorious doom. Read more about them here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Me for the past week and a half

A woman stands in a room bathed in golden light, with her hand on the hilt of her sword. Her face is frozen in rage.

Dooms in 1 post: If you roll too high, you mark 🔥. Max out your Fire Track & likely get a Doom. Like Epithets, they describe who you are, but in your most severe aspect. Plus they overwrite your Epithets. When you eclipse all your Epithets w/ Dooms, your PC becomes an NPC. tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods

More wild creatures drawn by @sheydgarden.bsky.social—a richly decorated lamassu, a lesser sphinx (that little-known, lynx-sized animal w/ a monkey's face & dangerous wit) & a mushussu. Inspired by the zoological/ethnographic reports by @seandapon.bsky.social. See more at tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods!

Defy the Gods draws on folklore & myth of Mesopotamia. For Gilgamesh's bull of heaven, @theveryworstthing.bsky.social made lightning flash from his flanks. The manticore is from ancient Persia. Kanesha gave her tail both venomous spines & a scorpion's sting. See more at tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods

The fact that this has not already been fully funded is absolutely criminal, this project needs all the love possible
