Project Update: Day One Report!

Hello Gate Divers,

Thank you all for a fantastic first day on the Twisting Unseen launch!


We're already only about 20 backers away from hitting the first stretch goal for a matte cover lamination. I'm thinking we'll hit this one while I'm in bed (good ol' France timezone, it's after 10pm as I write this!).

The next stretch goal after this durability booster is the much sexier goal of hiring Ripley Matthews to illustrate each individual Map Tile. The crew have a choice of four different map tile configurations (and two mean ones reserved for critical failures or spicy decision making):


In total, there are 17 map tiles, so this second stretch goal adds 11 more illustrations to the map inserts! We'll need to keep spreading the word on this campaign to get there, as we'll need ~100 more backers to reach this goal.

That's a bonus bit about Zine Month that I like a lot though, is that this game month is the oldest and all about spreading the word on other folks' games and talking about all the exciting modules and such. I've got a couple of podcast episodes lined up for just that, and then I've been shouting out some fellow projects that I'm excited for.

One of those projects is Dead Internet Theory by David H. K. Jackson, for CY_BORG.


Adam STATIONS and I reviewed the last collab between David and artist Roque Romero, Mutiny on the Montgomery, and I was thrilled to see they're working together on a larger project. Dead Internet Theory is a three mission adventure module tied up with an apocalyptic cult in the city of CY. David has a great talent for writing perplexing problems with weird NPCs in a tight location, if you're into cyberpunk (maybe as a Prospero's Dream hack?), it's definitely worth checking out! I mean, look at this sample spread:


Check out Dead Internet Theory for a freaky weird time! I'll be checking in with some other Twisting updates and fun-looking projects to share with y'all, :)

Signing off,

Chris Airiau

Matte cover lamination for Twisting Unseen is a physical upgrade that improves the durability of the zine, and feels nicer in hand.
Goal: €7,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
