I am declaring bankruptcy on answering "Dust" messages. Here is the dust rune. Enjoy!

I am honored to have made a game that can stop (at least some) bullets. @aboveboardtv https://t.co/OchpoNhOdJ

Well, it's over! $5 million raised. Thank you to everyone who backed, everyone who was working away on the backend, and thank you to Backerkit for giving us the platform to run this giant, crazy experiment! Time for vacation!

@AshSlayn @TychoBrahe You can always just back for $1, and then add the RPG in the pledge manager much closer to the release date.

After spending a month writing updates in Backerkit, I had to write an update in Kickstarter today, and I forgot how busted their UI is. Like, how do people tolerate this? How has this not been fixed yet?

[The Gallant Goblin @gallantgoblin]

Today we're launching our early play through of the upcoming #Gloomhaven RPG! Get a sneak peek at character creation, skill checks, and combat! Also we definitively settle the debate on the Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature viewing order. https://t.co/mHnUx51W6W @Cephalofair

@Caffeingasm Card picks are set in stone, but the unselected card can still be selected on future level ups.

@semicoop @Cephalofair Can't argue with the logic.

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

@Stexe Love it. I think the best thing about visiting the Penny Arcade offices was just seeing all the artwork everywhere. It was like being in a Penny Arcade museum.

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

I cannot express how fulfilling it was it was to play an RPG I designed with @TychoBrahe in the Penny Arcade studio, and have him say such nice things about it afterward. It was a truly surreal experience. https://t.co/0iyGA6NmTn

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

@ithayla Like, it was the absolute perfect time to do it, and all they had to do was make it not terrible.

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

It's a new thing! We're putting out a licensed version of Gloomholdin' - a tiny, simpler, solo version of Gloomhaven.

[Cephalofair Games @Cephalofair]

We are excited to announce our newest game, Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs. a solo play game, with an all new original campaign story, that gives the player a play style similar to Gloomhaven with its deep, strategic combat, but in a fraction of the size. https://t.co/6xXxRqHtLk

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

@ElJayPlay Yeah, I don't know if anything is around anymore. Merlin's Beard was a great game cafe, but it looks like they closed as well.

Last call on me being on GenCon panels!

Whether it’s for education or entertainment, I’ve been on big stages for performing TTRPG’s/playing board games + panels about community management, marketing, freelancing, content creation and social media!

Let’s collaborate!

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

In a very predictable twist of fate, that board game turned into an RPG! It was a lot of hard work, but being in that studio and getting to enjoy myself with such a wonderful cast, throwing a solstice eve parade in pursuit of rare Winkies(TM) - it was a nice payoff to that work.

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

I remember vividly way back when listening to those original AcqInc podcasts and being inspired to jump back into D&D, which I hadn't played since high school. And those D&D4E games eventually inspired me to design the board game Gloomhaven.

[Isaac Childres @IsaacChildres]

@Tykwinski @SilverMedalTvrn @Cephalofair I love it!

[Cole Wehrle @colewehrle]

We are looking to hire a queer illustrator to help us with our upcoming game, Molly House. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please see the details in this thread.
