Account name change
about 2 years ago – Sat, Apr 23, 2022 at 07:42:56 AM

Hello!

I’m changing the display name on this Kickstarter account to more accurately reflect the nature of the way we release roleplaying games. When I started out it was just me and a dream and some goblins, but we’re now running a business with employees and deadlines and everything.

So from now on, this account will be called Rowan, Rook and Decard - that’s our official business name.

In order to get the name changed I’m having to go through all my projects and post an update in each of them alerting you to it, so my apologies if you get several notifications which all say the same thing.

Our next Kickstarter (launching May 17th) is DIE the RPG, written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Stephanie Hans. It’s based on the comic of the same name, it’s absolutely gorgeous, and you’ll probably love it. You can follow along here.

Thank you all for your support over the years.

Heart: The City Beneath is live on Kickstarter

Let's keep this brief: you can back our new Kickstarter campaign for Heart: The City Beneath right now.

Heart is a game about exploring the nightmare undercity beneath Spire and the obsessions that lead you down there. Expanding on and further exploring the ideas behind Spire and Strata, this standalone game promises demises both glorious and tragic in search of truth, forgiveness or freedom in the City Beneath.

You can learn more about it (and see the beautiful illustrations) on Kickstarter.

GOATS AND MONEY
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jul 02, 2019 at 03:23:16 AM

We've got some news:

ONE: GOATS

We adopted a goat, just like we said we would. His name is Midnight and he is very beautiful. He lives somewhere in Kent.

TWO: CHARITY

We looked into the viability of adopting a goat in a developing country; it's not a great scene. Livestock die a lot in developing countries, it's not an effective way of giving, and it's tricky to find a charity that will reliably get the goat (or the money for the goat) to the right people.

So, we've pivoted. We've donated £500 to Right To Play, a charity that gives children all over the world... well, the right to play. Play for play's sake is very important to us, and some children don't have the opportunity to do it. Maybe our donation can help a bit.

Thank you all for your contributions to the campaign, and for funding the goat, and the actually good bit where we help children live better lives.

Hello all - 

Books are in the post! Our distributor started sending them out on Friday, and they're finishing up the full order over today and tomorrow. Those of you in the UK should get your books over the next couple of days; in Europe, start of next week; and in the US and further afield, about a fortnight.

If you don't get your book by the start of July, get in touch and we'll sort you out. Also, if you receive your order and it's damaged or incomplete, please take a picture and send it to [email protected] so we can rectify the problem.

That's it - have fun with Strata!
