We’ve unlocked another stretch goal: spots of color inside the zine! This makes the tables even more legible. One week left, one stretch goal left. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

If you’re the next backer, you get to post the “This is Sparta” gif as a comment below this post. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Another week left to back Knight Forlorn! The digital-only level is pay-what-you-want. But with several stretch goals unlocked, the physical zine is looking better than ever. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Knight Forlorn is a story TTRPG about a lone wanderer on a futile quest in a withering world. You’ll shape and portray the world together by drawing cards, and take turns portraying the knight as they explore it. On Kickstarter for #ZineQuest / #ZineMonth: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Closing in on another stretch goal! Would love to make the zine even nicer. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

If I have to ask for a raise, I'm glad that request goes to our collective readers and not some KPI-brained executive. Thank you to everyone who supports Rascal! Also, peep some of those upcoming subscriber goals 👀 More Lin, more money, and a trip to Essen Spiel??

Your outie backs weird little #ZineQuest / #ZineMonth games and helps spread the word about them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS: Each card draw reveals foes, obstacles, and inhabitants—some may return to haunt you. PUNISHING BATTLES: Card-based combat with harsh consequences and tough choices. ABILITIES & ITEMS: Triumphs grant new skills and gear to aid your quest. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Got them flippy-flappies unlocked! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Getting real close to unlocking another stretch goal for our Soulslike, roguelike story TTRPG! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

We’ve unlocked the stretch goal to make the Knight Forlorn cover logo UV coated. Let’s unlock some nifty cover flaps next! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

In case you missed it, we set up a permanent discount code for people in the Global South who want to subscribe to the site and can’t afford our regular rates. Spread the word: everyone deserves to be an anklebiter, regardless of borders. www.rascal.news/worldwide-an...

Stretch goals reworked! Let’s make Knight Forlorn an even bolder artifact for everyone. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Its Zine Month/Zine Quest! Let’s get some eyes on some projects in my first article of the month! whodaresrolls.com/zine-month-2... #ttrpg #ZineQuest #ZiMo

There’s a Knight Forlorn quickstart on Itch, so you can check out and even try the game already. blackfiskpub.itch.io/knight-forlorn The full game is on Kickstarter now. It has a unique encounter for every card in the deck, plus more bells and whistles. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

New books day! Game day? #ttrpg day? Anyway, arrived in the post earlier: Heroes of Cerulea by @ceruleanfive.bsky.social and @blackfiskpub.bsky.social First impressions: Absolutely gorgeous design and layout. This is why I love physical books.

Our Soulslike, roguelike story TTRPG is currently at 80%. It’s a weird little game, so we’d really appreciate help spreading the word so that it might find its weird little audience. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

New episode of RTFM, and RPG book club podcast. @snaxwell.bsky.social and I cover Dragonlance: Fifth Age. We talk about Dragonlance in general, card-based RPG mechanics, and kender genitals. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/aar...

Rascal is celebrating its first birthday with a pledge drive running throughout February! Check out the post for subscription goals, special programming, and one extremely cool surprise:

Big thanks to Rascal for letting us share the press release for Knight Forlorn! www.rascal.news/done-knight-...

Knight Forlorn is probably the strangest game I’ve written so far. It has rotating roles, a shared protagonist, and collaborative storytelling combined with punishing combat. I really think it offers an interesting experience and I’m really proud of it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Knight Forlorn is a Soulslike, roguelike story TTRPG using a deck of cards. Every card represents a unique encounter, featuring: • 13 enigmatic NPCs • 20 monsters and foes • 13 perilous challenges • 6 nightmarish Tormentors On Kickstarter for #ZineQuest now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Second day of #ZineQuest / #ZineMonth. Whoa, we’re halfway there. (Woah-oh!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

We're not done unleashing the radical on Zine Quest just yet. If we hit $5,000, we're making Rook & the Crook skateboards available for sale.
