I just submitted a game to Level One 2027 here's hoping it gets selected.

Velvet Glove is one of my favorite games!
Work this morning.

I forgot to send copies of Prism to the folks that backed at the tier Orcanized Crime.

Emails have been sent out.
July 23, 2026 at 12:25 PM
Backers should be getting the rulebook/stretch goal reward in the emails today.

If you get to give them a look, let me know what you think.

I hope at least one B5 fan spots something I added to The Old The Cold The Bold 2nd Edition.

So I came out as trans this week... and immediately lost several members of my patreon. Patreon is where most of my income coms from, so that's a big deal.

In addition to Bluebeard’s Bride, I’ve put out the Maiden and the Rake, Savage Garden, and the zine Goatmother. In the Pines and Velvet Glove are in development, with Velvet Glove having recently been picked up by a publisher.
I've written three games 🦈

Prism
Tiny Tusks
The Old The Cold The Bold

@scorchadoom.bsky.social has written several including my favorite, Velvet Glove.

John Wick is dead so we're not gonna get another film about him and I DON'T need a prequel but I wish during one of the three films after the first one when a bounty is put on his head an assassin sees who the mark is and then goes right back to drinking their beer because they enjoy being alive.

Players pick the gig in The Old The Cold The Bold. Some crimes we've done at the table are...

...ruining the life of a tech bro, "obtaining" bank paperwork to save homes from foreclosure, "obtaining" museum artifacts that belong to someone else, going after a corrupt judge, and 🔥data centers🔥.

@robotclaw.info did the voice acting for the BackerKit project video.

It's an animatic of the CEO and his wife.

All of the pregens in #OCB2nd are in a found family social solar system.

pwr_vacuum was SunShine's personal trainer, and when SS found out he was a hitman, he invited him onto the app. PV and jinglejangle met at the launch party for the app's private resort. bellaDOM runs TTRPGs for JJ.

There isn't a ton of concrete lore in #OCB2nd so players can contribute to the world of regulated crime. The game offers questions for the table to answer, such as why has the company been allowed to prosper.

I would love to hear your answers.

Two weeks left to back The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition on @backerkit.com! A criminal gig economy tabletop roleplaying game!

#OCB2nd is perfect for folks who like #Leverage (heists that screw over the rich and powerful ice cream with a found family swirl)!

Let's get that stretch goal funded!

Orcanized Crime: This tier comes with a PDF of my very first TTRPG, Prism. A diceless, queer-friendly, and sex-positive TTRPG about sexy seafolk.

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

I should combine games at some point and run a #OCB2nd flavored heist in Prism.

Colds in crime dramas have the most skills in reading a situation, but they often get the conch yanked away from them by the hothead. Colds in the game come equipped with money, confidence, and/or privilege, so hotheads can't speak over them.

Jules (Pulp Fiction) is a game-accurate Cold.

Do you think it's worth it to have example names in a RPG rules doc?
May 17, 2026 at 7:12 PM
Lady Blackbird, is one of my favorite TTRPGs.

The Old The Cold The Bold took a lot of inspiration from it...with a few changes like players selecting their tags, and Team Keys. Keys are how characters react during a gig. Team Keys are how they interact.

Let's look at the Cold.

After the Backerkit, I'm gonna put Prism on Itch Io. I wanna do like a Hot Mermaid Summer bundle or something.
