This is no doubt long overdue because we're already more than halfway through the campaign. But I just posted a design diary-type glimpse at some of my thought processes behind Lair of the Storm Giant to my Substack blog. I hope you find it interesting, and if you haven't yet backed this campaign I hope it encourages you to come off the fence and get a copy for yourself. No matter how many pledges we get, we can always make more copies.

I also hope that you'll find "'I Think We've Been Playing It Wrong'" interesting enough to subscribe and keep up with it. I'd like to build a strong following for the blog and Substack seems to differ not at all from other self-publishing platforms in that success breeds success; the search algorithm rewards you if people pay attention to you and punishes you if they don't.

You can subscribe for free and keep up with announcements about Ramen Sandwich Press and Ramen Sandwich Tees, get my quick reacts to game industry news and some game reviews. Or you can get a premium subscription for $5/month or $30/year (that's the least that Substack lets me charge) and access longer essays like my ongoing series about the cold, hard realities of game publishing, as well as book and other media reviews, more board and digital game reviews and tips and hints sheets and convention photo rolls. I'm still working on adding audio content and guest posts from my friends in the game industry as premium content. If you prefer to support the blog through Patreon, you can become a member for $5/month and I'll gift you a premium subscription for as long as you care to keep it up.
