Had a great time at the launch party tonight!

Finally ordered myself a hardcopy of Animon Story by @zakbfree.bsky.social

The Tempting Freight module for Animon Story is now available as a free download. This module was previously one of the monthly exclusive releases for Ko-fi Members. Investigate an intriguing overgrown industrial complex and crack open shipping containers like capsule toys! ko-fi.com/s/4d410cedaa

Only 3 days to go! 😲 This piece by @woutart.bsky.social was inspired by Skellige Michael #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

It's been a while coming but it's quite likely I will be bumping the price of my digital releases on itch by ~$5 each. I hope this is understandable given current circumstances.

When we played Animon, I really enjoyed mixing and matching Elements/Classifications to no end... so I'm stoked to find out the customisation options will expand this even more!

Elemental Anomalies is now available to all Members! This is a set of optional rules allowing you to quickly and easily create custom Elements, opening up even more customisation options for Animon Characters. Become a Ko-fi Member, support my work, and get access to a huge library of releases!

Doomsong and the first campaign book have been getting glowing reviews from basically everyone who dares to peek with the pages, and I cannot tell you how well deserved that praise is. Go follow the new campaign!

Absolutely wild to use 5e for a Warhammer 40k actual play

Two years after its original conception, I have finished writing Animon Story: Legend's Wake! On to layout next week 🫡

I usually get my payouts from itch io about two weeks after initiating, but currently I have one sat at 39 days! Anyone else had longer than usual payout delays?

I was more hoping that they’d continue to develop the World series centred around V-pet mechanics rather than the Story games, but I’m glad to see a new game nonetheless! My major complaint with Cyber Sleuth is how boring and linear the environments are (aside from the hub), I hope that’s changed.

New Digimon game!!

Severance is so good goddamn
