As I type this message, we're about a day and a half away from the conclusion of the VStream RPG Backerkit campaign. Some unexpected late backers appeared and pushed our campaign up higher. We have not reached the first stretch goal, but we have covered the expenses and secured a small number of physical copies.
Even better news, Gencon starts in a few hours. You'll know them when you see them because they will be the most tired, hardest working people there.
That wasn't random virtue signaling, just a transition to the third piece of good news. One of the GMs in attendance at Gencon will be Diamond Dust -- a vtuber making a rare IRL appearance. Diamond has agreed to be write a special adventure which will be added to the VStream RPG rulebook. This weekend, however, Dia is attending Gencon where she will be running sessions of both Cyberpunk Red and (a personal favorite of mine) Shadow Scar.

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Bad News & Good News
Let's get the bad news out of the way first. The past 24 hours or so have been a very stressful time in the English-speaking vtuber community. The collapse of VShojo and the scandal involved took no one more by surprise than me. Regardless of how any of us feel about it, it's okay to acknowledge the fact that the fandom took a big hit this week.
VStream RPG has no stake in the controversy. It's designed to not be connected with any specific vtuber -- yet. We're more about celebrating the phenomenon which is vtubing. The project moves forward regardless of what happens in the community. The only effect is that the social media campaign took a pause yesterday and today because the timing was just wrong.
The word "yet" got used because the just confirmed the first vtubing gamemaster will work on extended content for the rulebook. Diamond Dust, a full-time professional GM and co-host of the Wireheads Podcast, announced involvement in VStream RPG during a live stream this past weekend.
That brings us to the good news. VStream RPG is in the black! Generous contributions have more than covered the cost of using Backerkit as a platform. We've got budget now to commission additional content and an initial print run. You backers did this, not me.

I like to take about 4 or 5 prints for my friends as well. How can I do that?
