My Blood + Rust Misery Tarot came in! Not even a week before the Kickstarter launched, I was bemoaning the lack of a tarot deck that could be set in Silent Hill, especially since 3 used a lot of tarot imagery and cards in puzzles Algorithm algorithm'ing, I saw this! Thanks 7! @pubgob.bsky.social

I dreamt I was working in my yard and a scruffy little dog ran up to me. Immediately started wallering me to death. It rolled over to show me its tummy. Didn’t have one. Gutted. Completely hollow inside. It stopped acting like a dog and just stared at me. It wanted me to react but I woke up instead.

Live in about 10 minutes! See you there! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

In just over 24 hours now, the Goblin's Tarot's funding on @backerkit.com will come to a close. But don't despair--I'll be live on the campaign page an hour before we close, and I'll stick around until you let me leave. Show up for goodies and cheap bundles! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

you can't judge when bioware was really killed because the mismanagement at the higher level under EA has been so constant and pervasive since the acquisition at every stage that every game shipped at all was a herculean miracle

Each card in the booster reflected an episode of the podcast. This episode was very special to me. I got to tell an Alleyman story weirdly fresh and raw in a separate podcast, unrelated the main story. And Kim Ramón sold it so well. She was amazing!! youtu.be/wXNRP_H2FGM?...

A few years ago, @pubgob.bsky.social invited me to contribute a card to their Alleyman Podcast booster pack. My card is for the Monologues in the Dark episode, and I pulled influences from Edward Gorey, our local movie theater’s terrazzo floors, and classic choose-your-own-adventure books.

It's official... 48 hours remain on the Goblin's Tarot over on Backerkit. This is not just my last planned original tarot deck for a while, it's also the first and only standard, 78-card deck from us. Green foil borders make the gorgeous colors pop! This is a deck you cannot miss.

The Sun is a favorite in this deck! Joy, happiness, safety. The Sun radiates all of this. And when our Goblin comes across the migration of the sky whales in Motley Coast City? That is exactly what they feel. Moments of beauty can envelop us in optimism. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

The Goblin's Tarot has 72 hours left on backerkit! If you have loved your Publishing Goblin divination tools, now is your time to join us as we close the last new deck for the foreseeable future. And it's finally a regular, 78 card deck for once! Who'da thunk? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

Today's the cover reveal for my cyberpunk novel OMEN. Yes, there's 2 covers! Because why the hell not? I love how they both turned out. Artist for the right one is @radacs.bsky.social and the left one's designed by me. OMEN will be crowdfunding with #BookBazaar26 very soon - October 29!

The slop machine makes you stupid. The slop machine makes you stupid. THE SLOP MACHINE MAKES YOU STUPID. And that's why they want you to use it. Scared, stupid people are easier to control.

🐦‍⬛ The Black Raven, aka Ruth King. He is jokingly called a ninja assassin and the truth of it comes out as we go. He is deadly with a gun. He is deadly with throwing knives. And don't even ask what he can do with that wrist-mount crossbow! Oh the humanity! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The Goblin's Tarot Guidebook is complete! This is normally the last thing that gets done when I crowdfund tarot decks. I work on it for months after funding is over, and it's the thing that delays manufacturing. But we have nearly 2 weeks left and it's already in the can!
