(4) Being part of @hatchedgames.bsky.social. GAST is the first crowdfunding campaign I’ve been involved with for the publication of a game that I wrote myself! Thank you to all that supported, we are also incredibly excited for the (horrifying 😈) plans we’ll be pursuing next year!

I listened to Solemn Vale by @realmspod.bsky.social last December and it was such an inspiring and beautiful horror production. Inspiring enough, in fact, to encourage a personal leap into horror content myself with @hatchedgames.bsky.social and GAST. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Christmas Eve will be the debut of CHILDREN OF HEAVEN, the brand-new solo drawing TTRPG I wrote for a GAST stretch goal! You play as a homeless child entrusted with a profound secret: God has been thrown out of heaven, and demons stalk the earth. I'm excited to see where GM Justin takes the story!

I cannot stress enough how excited I am, and how much it means to me, that someone will be playing 'Tand Fé' on an AP! 🦷💀🐁 It's my first solo journaling game, the first fully fledged game I've written alone, and combines my love of horror and folklore in a way I'm really proud of!

If you've been excited about what we have in store for GAST: Season 1, then you should give these folks a watch! They are playing FOUR of our SEVEN games and giving them a festive spin ❄️😱

If this sounds like you, shoot your shot!

Building up a database of artists/illustrators (especially BIPOC and minority) to reach out to for future collabs/paid work! Looking for anyone who loves drawing horror, folklore, and dark fairy tales, as I've a few things coming up in that field. 💀🪦 Interested? Drop those links and examples below!
