Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for pitching in after yesterday's post. Support has increased by $300 USD, which is huge for me right now.
I don't want to overpromise extra content if we hit milestones at the moment (frankly, I'm turbo-busy), but I'll try to find some neat stuff to share this week.
And I'll try to live up to all of these ideals, not just the one that lets me ...

Hello,
Each month on Ko-Fi, I add a little Free download to the shop. Usually some kind of experiment, or a wallpaper, or something fun.
Please find attached all the ones from 2023, so if you missed out... now you can download them here!
Thanks,
2024-01-27 23:00:36 +0000 UTC View PostHi gang,
Just a quick update to let you know that I'm a little short on funds at the moment and that I have reopened the $1 tier until the 6th Anniversary of the series.
To be blunt, ad revenue from Webtoon isn't as strong as it was a year ago, and I'm not happy running any more Kickstarters until I know Cut the Deck doesn't need any more input from me. It adds up over time.

Hi guys,
I'm just letting you know that I am in the process of deleting a bunch of very old art from Tumblr and deviantArt that doesn't align well with my current stuff.
If you'd like to go rummaging through the archives for weird junk before it disappears, here you go:

Hi pals,
My holiday (if you can call it a holiday, haha) is almost over, so I just thought I'd keep you updated with everything happening in the world of Swords:
- Our production timeline for Swords: Cut the Deck is locked in
I've got a couple of weeks to review various bits and pieces, but we're currently in the process of submitting the playmat, the dice, tokens and (I think) the box art for production. We've been very busy and we're learning a lot.
Preord...
Preorders have reopened on a few spare vinyl figures, don't wait to grab one:

Now that Axes is available to everyone for free, it's time for something new that is just for supporters.
Please vote below for the pay-to-view miniseries you would like to see later in the year:

2023-12-26 07:51:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe $1 tier has been reopened for the rest of the year, and limited to 600 slots total - so if you are a Free Member, consider upgrading to see more of The Book of Kargob! Did you know that next year is the 6th Anniversary of the comic? Kargob will be pleased with your offerings!
I'm currently a close contact of someone who has just tested positive with Covid after Christmas, so I may not be as productive as I want to be before the year ends... If I get sick, it will be for the first ti...
2023-12-26 06:30:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi
I've run out of space on my harddrive, so here's an RPG Maker game I was working on back during the pandemic. It doesn't have a lot of meat to it, but I hope you have fun trying it out. PC only at the moment. Enjoy!
I've included the latest version I could find, as well as the earliest.

Here is a link to a Google Doc which contains many links to everywhere you can find Swords content online:

I have a lot of physical to-do lists and idea pages and notebooks that I've been trying to get rid of, so th...
Oh, there you are. Those are some useful pages you've uncovered!
Let's keep searching though! There's a few in particular that I need for some important research!

Hm? You found some of the pages, did you? Good. Good.
They seem to be out of order, but we can fix that later. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two if you take the time to read them.

Hi adventurers,
I just want to take a moment to explain where I'm at and what my goals are for the next year. This is all subject to change!
The Webcomic
I'm planning one more update on The Beginning Of Time and then it will be back to jokes until I do something crazy at episode 800, as is my way.
I would like to return to Patreon polls deciding what characters to focus on. I ...
Hi,
As you may know, there's a lot happening with Swords right now. The comics are on a brief hiatus before the next Darkness Before Time story update, the card game and video game are both on their way and now with the Writers Strike concluded, there's some potential to take the IP and do more things with it too.
What I wanna know is - why are YOU here? I think it's important going into 2024 that I know what the real purpose/function/mission of this Patreon page is - maybe what I...

Thanks for 1750 followers, everyone! I thought you might find it interesting/endearing/encouraging to look at some decade+ old art from before Swords began.
Something new at 2000 followers. Thanks!

We passed 1250 sign ups, so I just wanted to thank you all with a little teaser of what *was* going to be the updated series cover art for the 5th anniversary of the series. I ended up being much too busy, but if you look carefully it would have revealed one or two characters early! Gasp!
Next cool free thing at 1500 sign ups! Thanks!!

Under the new Patreon layout, this includes paid and unpaid members - but it looks great, which is always what we're aiming for when I try to pitch a show or funding for other Swords related projects. Wink!
