at $1.5 million....... i dont know .... this is kinda scary....
at $1.2 million, we get even more art (as steve said to me "at that point you deserve it. im sure you'll make good use of it")
if we make a MILLION GODDAMN DOLLARS steve will give us all a holiday and we'll dance and sing in the town square
at $777,777 we'll do a big merch update! including shiny dice, enamel pins, and a new t shirt design
at $700k we'll work with @pamwishbow.bsky.social to add even more of her distinctive riso-inspired art to the game
at $600k and $650k we'll give bonuses to both the freelancers weve worked with and the SJ games team
at half a million we'll commission @badbucket.bsky.social to make a detailed map of Isha for use in navigating the isles and identifying lore-relevant locations
here's another question about masculinity and seven-part pact i want to share with all of you. i have a tremendous amount of compassion for the asker and the question of "how do i make this game, which is playing with fire for my fellow trans women specifically, not burn them too hard"
here's a question from the AMA that i've been asked a lot and i wanted to show to other people — i think there's a lot of anxiety about thinking through masculinity in 7PP as a cis man and i hope this answer can help reassure some people
the seven-part pact kickstarter launches TOMORROW! here's the Arcane Edition (mockup, images not final) ! it features a faux leather bound grimoire, hardcover codices, a plastic pull tab on the box, and beautiful art by @teanwitch.bsky.social
seven part pact launches in 2 days, here's some sketches by @badbucket.bsky.social showing the process for designing different boards — each of the seven wizards has their own board game with completely different rules (and inspiration from different styles of medieval art)
woah i look exactly like the last drawing thats so cool ive literally never seen someone draw a character who looks like me before
one of the most exciting parts of the seven-part pact release for me is the highest tier, which will (amongst all the other gubbins available for the campaign) feature a very special object ... a hand-illuminated, hand-painted limited print of the Orrery done by jennifer dragon, my real-life mom
Seven-Part Pact will launch on Kickstarter July 14th, an auspicious day for powerful magic !! the game includes multiple decks of cards, including a deck of destinies wielded by the sage for determining the narrative future of the pact
it's crazy to have been working on this game for 4 years and to finally have mockups of it
Seven Part Pact is coming to kickstarter July 2026 ! it's a massive ambitious TTRPG about magic, masculinity, and power. here's what brennan lee mulligan has to say about it
qualia is a very fascinating game at a very beautiful display
here's what it looked like when @sharangbiswas.bsky.social and i were playing ScribeOS
"i'm worried we've spent an hour trying to play WTF and we've been failing" "wait let's see what the rulebook has to say about this"
"In the months and days before the Tragedies, the Angels gathered in their hosts along rooftops and in clouds. It was believed at the time that the arrival of these angels was an indicator of future calamity ... in some form like vultures circling their dying prey." (art by @badbucket.bsky.social)
drank a giant goblet full of rum and pineapple named "swamp juice" and it has now laid claim to my uncomscious mind and is whispering to me like a cruel vizier
you just dont find this shit on other social media (thanks tumblr user ape-of-naples)
contemplating taking some of those "bottom-up" worldbuilding guides and turning them into a craft project / ttrpg / mechanism
can i get away with turning into the odd into lasers & feelings
