What are we currently working on right now, besides being recovering from burnout? Well… something completely different: a toxic yuri game that goes very dark places, started for last year’s Toxic Yuri Jam! AND, something familiar w/ Spirit Drop, this time starring… Mo🥰 🎨 by @chukishima.bsky.social

You’ve decided to move to the city of Demashq, a coastal magical city by the beach where a popular boy band has recently taken up residence, disrupting the balance of spirits in the area as they all try to attend their concerts… the spirits are stans! But that’s ok, you’re a spirit swapper😌

What would life be like if you moved to a city where plants carry magic like cables carry electricity in our world? What does a queer Arab fantasy world feel like? We’re making a solo-journaling TTRPG set in that world for zine month🐸 sliding scale PDF available! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sof...

The window is surrounded by pothos vines and witchy knickknacks, and her Familiar, a pink round Frog with a unicorn horn, sleeps happily loafing next to her.

No, no, you are correct! These details are hard to see in the game amidst the action, so to have every detail lovingly printed is the dream of the Spirit Swap zine!!
