Hi everyone! 👋

I finally remembered to create my own newsletter based on those who opted in during the pledge manager process. Thank you for backing my first Kickstarter. 🙏

Hopefully the message finds you well and doesn’t just end up in spam lol. 🤣

Feel free to reach out and let me know if this worked. 🍻

I’ve been hard at work writing a new zine since the last campaign ended. Please consider supporting Grim Games Issue#2: The Colour Out of Space! ☄️

This zine now features more player facing content in addition to another adventure. Feel free to check out the full campaign, but some highlights include Alchemist and Barbarian classes, even-level ability tables for core classes Fighter and Thief, and a great eldritch horror inspired gauntlet. The Colour Out of Space was always one of my favorite Lovecraft stories and I’m been wanting to write my take on it for a while. Now you can make it come to life! 🫡

One of the stretch goals of the last KS campaign was to create an Alchemist Class and commission art to have it featured in the new zine. Piotr Siwerski, the artist that did the island map for Dread Legion, recently finished this beautiful painting of an alchemical mishap in action! 💥

I started learning Adobe InDesign for the creation of this zine, and tried to build a simple look that closely resembles official product, while staying compliant with the 3rd-party license. I’m really happy with my progress from issue zero (where I relied on friends to build the look), to issue one (where I used canva), to now (using professional software). I still have much to learn, but it is very fulfilling to YouTube tutorial your way into some degree of app literacy. 😂

Feel free to check out the full preview here. I am including two different builds for each of the classes I’m creating in this zine. When sharing my earlier builds, the feedback I’ve received from some Arcane Library community members is that I may have over-engineered the classes a bit. 😂 Therefore, I created the one-pager “lite” versions that may fit others’ play style a bit better. At the end of the day, I really just create whatever the eldritch spirits prompt me to do, and what I like. Hopefully others find something they like along the way. 🤗 What you see from me is the stuff I use at my tables!🐙

Which social media do you prefer? Feel free to use my linktree here and give me a follow on your platform(s) of choice. 🤝

I’m trying to expand to anywhere that may have a Shadowdark RPG community, so feel free to send me any suggestions you may have. 👍

Coming up, I may be going on a few YouTube programs for some interviews. If they pan out, I’ll be sure to share any info in my next bulletin. 🫡
