Transgender Deathmatch Legend II has one week left on BackerKit! We're chasing the stretch goal for the Hot Rising Talents zine, featuring twelve unique playable characters with art by Hodag RPG. Further stretch goals would add some of my favourite writers in TTRPGs to the zine team. Only one week left though, so if you want to expand the boxset contents and give yourself a chance to add-on the zine to your order for other pledges please do spread the word.

There's not much planned on my end for the last week at this moment in time. I'll be appearing on EN World's Not DND Podcast talking about my last release PSYCHODUNGEON, and I'll likely also talk a bit about TDL2 but it's not the focus of the interview.
Getting people to know about the campaign while there's still time could be a massive difference maker. I'm talking about the game on the platforms I'm on and the discords I'm in, but I'm not everywhere. I'm no longer on Twitter (I deactivated my account in the early stage of crowdfunding hysteria but I've found that good enough for me I thinks it permanent), I've never been on Reddit or Facebook and a woman does have a limit for how many discords she can be in. If you're in a space where you think people would like to know about Transgender Deathmatch Legend II do them (and me) a favour and tell them about the game.
So what happens after the 28th? How much work there is post-campaign is slightly dependant on where things end. The core book text is with the editor and I can start drafting layout pretty imminently. If we hit the HRT zine stretch goal though I'll also have to do writing (and hopefully working with other writers) for that as well as it's layout first. There's then ordering all the boxset components, getting stuff printed and assembled before physical fulfillment can start.
After the campaign I'm going to be at Dragonmeet on Nov 30th, TAGS Festival on December 7th and I believe I'll be at Rift Faire in London on the 15th. Between those I'll likely need to spend time recovering due to the strain conventions out on me as a disabled person. It's also Christmas around that time and I have some personal finance deadlines. A digital release in December is very possible. That could facilitate a physical release in January but also the pace might need to go slower depending on things. I'll do my best to update everyone when things firm up more clearly (after the campaign ends I'll at the very least have a super clear picture on how much work there is for me.)
Anyway that's it for me with this update (and hey if you're at any of the cons I just mentioned feel free to come and say hi!)
