We're 70% funded and have reached our first community goal! As I promised, at 100 backers I'll reveal our first stretch goal, so here it is! At $6000 we'll welcome 3 new stretch goal writers. They all pitched a super evocative worldsheet and I'm really excited to work with each of them. And look at their backgrounds! Some really cool games have been designed by these folks.
Alex Roberts is a game designer, counsellor, and educator living on Lkwungen territory in Victoria, BC. She is best known for mechanically elegant but psychologically complex games like Star Crossed (winner of the 2019 Diana Jones Award) and For the Queen. When not concocting lists of bizarre commands (sometimes known as TTRPGs), she can usually be found tinkering with her vintage video game collection or brewing a lovely cup of tea.

Another Zine Month Recommendation
If you've followed my work in the last year, you know I love books and games that utilize them! I Have Lived a Thousand Lives is a Solo RPG about exploring the books in your shelf. You bring 4 of your books and go on a metafictional quest diving in and out of them, bringing characters and ideas between worlds and exploring them in different contexts. Cool! another way to use the books on your shelf! Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2018387307/i-have-lived-a-thousand-lives
Keep up with our project next week for a word from our wonderful cover artist for a behind the scenes look at how the cover was designed!

Once we reach this goal, 3 new guest writers will be added to the project. They will each write a worldsheet based on their own unique perspective of Power and Folk Stories.
