The collector cards are now available for preorder.
I will be locking the Patreon in the next few hours, after which no one will be charged for a month. I look forward to helping you fix all the ways payments screw up in January.

Jason was sitting in a cloud chair on a field of scorched earth and giant roots. The air was filled with the stench of death; the rot of bodies and the worse smell of rainbow smoke. The battle had gone on long enough that the first to be killed we...
2023-11-24 22:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Jason had extracted Amos Pensinata from his attempted suicide-by-messenger, the next stages of the battle were unsurprising. The gold-rankers escaped into Jason’s soul realm safely. Jason, Miriam and a few others remained hidden in Ramona...
2023-11-22 22:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe gold-rankers were trapped inside the growing mound of elemental messenger bodies. Whether the messengers were living or dead was irrelevant; so long as there were enough of them, the adventurers and their allies couldn’t fight their way out....
