First Poll Complete, Welcome New Patrons

Hey folks!

Well, our first Patron Poll ran for most of October and the consensus was pretty strong. Stiletto, a single player Blades in the Dark RPG won by leaps and bounds, so that's the game I'm gonna be working on for the next few months, hoping to have it finished by the end of December. 

Thank you to everyone who voted! That was a lot of fun to watch, even if it was a landslide!

Above is a sort of concept cover I made for the project a little while ago. I'm already compiling notes and design ideas, and think I have a pretty strong pitch for the central game. Basically you'll be taking on different playbooks who represent folks in Doskvol who tend not to get along with others or fit into crews: ghosts, urchins, turncoats, etc. The game will present daily obstacles you have to overcome for about a week, using position and effect to communicate the stakes and difficulty of each encounter. Then when you finish each one, there will be downtime. The idea is to stick pretty close to the core rules of Blades in the Dark, Stiletto being a game you can play as a sort of single player introduction to the game, or something to play when they rest of your group can't get together.

Hopefully I can keep it strong and simple.

Also I wanted to give a shout out to the new patrons I got over the last month. Welcome! Thank you for helping to keep the lights on around here. You should already be enjoying your rewards, but if you had any issues claiming them, please let me know. 

Not much else is new with me. A Torch in the Dark is being printed as we speak. Also I got COVID about a week ago. I'm mostly symptom free at the moment, but I'm still testing positive so I'm mostly just staying in my room and trying not to climb up the walls.

Talk soon!
