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!

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

Plus AMA tomorrow at NOON ET on

It's the LAST 48 HOURS for Defy the Gods on Kickstarter! Come get your own slice of queer sword & sorcery. TWO stretch goals left! Get a Thief to steal your heart! Get Sumerian cooking by Ryan Khan! A guide to fantasy ancient Sumer by me!

Defy the Gods just hit its next stretch goal! We're getting an adventure seed by the excellent @sebastianyue! 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!

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.

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.

You 100% don't gotta be queer or trans to play this game. No matter who you are, playing it will dip your mind into how it feels to me to be queer—all its wonders, terrors & invitations—but thoroughly infused with sword & sorcery. #queer #swordandsorcery #ttrpg #TTRPGs

We're almost to @sebastianyue 's stretch goal! A new adventure seed, where a dead god calls you to their tomb, offers you your heart's desire, and gives you a devastating choice. What is it? I can't wait to reach this stretch goal and play to find out!

One week left for Defy the Gods!.One. Week. - People you know who might like it: tell them. - Your friend who's been on the fence about backing: nudge them. Lest the wrath of the FOMO gods roll down upon them as we near the epoch's end. See the link in my all-too-mortal bio.

Ezra Rose @sheydgarden made creatures that feel part of a lived-in world. Mary Verhoeven drew you, the players. Thalie Shelen defined the look of the whole book early on by drawing the characters and the temple scene. #defythegods #queer #swordandsorcery

Katrin Dirim @KleiosCanvas, artist for RuneQuest, created the definitive image of the Pantheon. Jaqueline Florencio made cover art that feels like you could just step into it.

Moar team! Some of the amazing artists contributing to Defy the Gods: Shan Bennion @anonbeadraws has created gorgeous illustrations, redolent with research and rich color. Kanesha Bryant @KaneshaCBryant has offered a wild take on the Queen of Death & lovely (hot) creatures

Kickstarter has named Defy the Gods a "Project We Love"! I'm grateful, & glad they see how much heart and life is packed into this queer sword & sorcery adventure. If you haven't checked it out yet, you still got 13 days to find out what all the fuss is about. Don't miss it!

With Defy the Gods already more than halfway to @temporalhiccup's stretch goal, I'm excited to announce the next one—At $32K, Sebastian Yūe @sebastianyue will write a new adventure seed! A dead god calls you to their tomb w/ a promise & a devastating choice. What will you do?
