📖 Mythology Fans, Check This Out!
I recently discovered Lockett Illustrated: Greek Gods and Heroes, a stunningly illustrated mythology-inspired storybook by the talented Tyler Miles Lockett. As someone who creates mythology themed games, I couldn’t resist backing it and I thought some of you might love it too. Click here to check it out.
That’s it for now! Don’t forget to vote in the stretch goal poll and help unlock the free stickers on BGG!
As always, drop a comment or start a discussion in the community section if you have any questions!
A metal bookmark tier ($10), add-on for one metal bookmark ($10) and a pair of both Sakura and Hops bookmarks ($18) add-on have been added to the campaign already due to an unexpectedly large amount of backers saying they would want one! (57% out of a pool of over 100 already) For those pledging to just the bookmark tier with no pins, you can add an additional metal bookmark as an add-on for $9 of your choice (exclusive to this tier) since I'll be able to save some on shipping by using a flat mailer instead of a box.
Printed Bookmarks will likely still be added, but I will only be adding them if I have time to complete the art before the campaign ends. I will update if/when that happens. If you want to vote on which designs will be added if I can first do Iris, Cornflower, Chrysanthemum, and Foxglove... you can do so at this Discord link HEREwhere I already have a poll running.
Slight update to Sakura dragon, where I forgot to fill in the deep red on the back.
Hi everyone! After some thinking and taking in suggestions, I drafted up some ideas for an Intestines angel pin. I would plan to make this a stretch goal at $4000! Here are some design ideas, please vote for which one you'd like! And of course, if you had any design feedback, feel free to drop it in the comments.
I do not plan on making any more pins after this, but I would love to make some nice 3 inch holographic stickers of the current designs. Are people interested in this?
Thank you everyone who has backed the campaign so far!! We have 10 days left, so please be sure to share this around!
We are HALF WAY through the campaign and 2/3rds of the way to unlocking WOODEN Lilypad tokens!
To help us gain some more momentum during this halfway point, we are launching a campaign let two lucky winners design your very own card to be added into POND as a promo card!
We got over a DOZEN playtests of POND at ProtoAL this weekend and it was a hit!
The last 4 days has been FILLED with playtesting of POND at my favorite prototyping convention of the year: ProtoATL. For any aspiring game designers out there, I cannot recommend this convention enough. You'll make lots of friends and get SO much progress on your game here~
Speaking of recommendations, I wanted to give a special shoutout to Pickpocket Games with this incredible review after playing POND. Their game Theif's Market is currently live on Kickstarter!
My confidence in POND is higher than ever and I'm super excited to release the playtesting program this week~!
I'll be taking a 13 hour drive from Atlanta back to Dallas and will be updating the Tabletop Simulator and Screentop implementations for anyone to play POND for free once I am home! The playtesting program will be announced this Wednesday afternoon instead of tomorrow (giving myself one extra day to make sure it's 100% ready)
The mythical Bunny Banana hybrid, the Bunnana, is here to join the fun! Illustrated by the eponymous NANA, this adorable creature is just what the POND ordered~
Nana is an incredible artist and also a close friend that I've made as a fellow vendor at Anime Conventions. She was one of the artists in my Honkai Star Rail tarot deck fan project.
