I just got back from a much needed vacation and an even more needed business meeting with my partner at BigHog.Games. I’ve been out of office for two weeks and this week has been a rush of catching up on emails, figuring out why my computer hates me, and reaching for something deep in my chest that is stuck there and won’t come out (almost got it, promise). Busy, busy, busy. And there’s lots to talk about, but also…not much? Lemme explain.
Songbirds, both red and blue, arrived at my door the DAY before my trips and so have been sitting here missing me for quite some time. I approved the proofs for the stickers today and they’ll arrive next week. So what that means is that Songbirds is shipping out next week and for the rest of the month. It’s an exciting moment. A quick turnaround. And just, yeah, the colors on these new books look amazing. Check em out.
The last image is of the new printing (top) and the old, first printing (bottom). The colors are much closer to what we had imagined and accomplished with the pdf. And the red is so vibrant and gorgeous. These are going to stand out on your shelf.
Here are the stickers:
Gorgeous art from Char, of course.
And now for a commercial break~
Thrift, the other admin on the nerves discord server is releasing her dungeon23 project on itch by floors, so you can get it now for cheap and by the end of the release you’ll have more dungeon than you know what to do with.
My friend and neighbor Violet makes cool music! It’s very chill. Perfect for writing or smonking some weed.
And two kickstarters that don’t need my introduction but have my support are the new Cloud Empress: Life & Death, and the stunning ASTROPRISMA. Both of these are relatively newer *things* that have just hit the indie ttrpg space with a huge explosion. I don’t think we’ll see anything like Astroprisma for a very, very long time, so get in there and get this wildly aesthetic solo sci-fi game.
This concludes our commercial break.
Welcome back. That was a lot of cool stuff to check out. I’m very excited about the future right now. The reason why I say there’s a lot to talk about but also not a lot to talk about is that there is so much I want to tell you but I know I should wait to announce it when things are set and the time is right. So let me just tease some things instead.
*clears throat*
