As promised, the first three chapters of Chaos are available to the public!

Sixteen-year-old Nick Riverson has all but given up on getting answers to his questions. Ever since his father left under mysterious circumstances nine years ago, his life hasn't gotten any better. Not helping matters is the terrorist group B'trayed roaming around and forcing everyone to abide to increasingly strict curfews. Just when he think he'll never get any closure, he rescues his new neighbor from a B'trayed attack, and unlocks a fiery power that he never knew he had. It doesn't take long until he learns this group is hunting down his father--and will stop at nothing until they do so. Now seeing the chance to unravel a nine year mystery, Nick, his neighbor, the friends he meets along the way, and his uncle set out on a journey to find his missing dad, and learn deep secrets that span far longer than anyone ever realize.

Chaos contains:

-A cast of color, starring a dark-skinned black protagonist

-An LGBT cast

-Neurodivergent characters

-Inspiration from shonen anime

-A fun action romp aimed at young adults and older teens

This is the first book of a four book series, and the first three chapters are to give you an idea of what to expect! I hope you all enjoy, and please share so more people can read! If you have any questions, my inbox is always open!

An illustration of Richeh that Shirahama posted to her twitter today. Also, a doodle of Tetia which I had missed previously!

First Image [ID: A coloured illustration of Richeh. She is sat on a rock in water, holding out a stick and watching calmly as Brushbug (who is wrapped around the other end of the stick) reaches his tiny hands towards a small red fruit floating in the water, trying to grab it. END ID]

Second Image [ID: A photo of a simple line illustration on grey paper. The illustration is of Tetia, holding a larger-than life branch of blossoms in her arms. The illustration is finished with white ink highlights. Below the paper there are glass vessels and a dip pen, along with black ink used in the illustration. END ID]

They deserved it all :(

As much as I still like the simplicity of the original black and white ink drawings, it's been fun experimenting with color 🌈

Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern on Backerkit now!

Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern is a GMless one-to-three shot TTRPG based on games like MF0: Firebrands and The Sundered Land. It's a collection of 20 mini-games where former adventurers open a tavern together and reintegrate into society after a life on the road.

What happens after the adventure? What does daily life in a fantasy world look like? Stewpot draws inspiration from stories like Dungeon Meshi, Redwall, Frieren, and Bartender, as well as various aspects of D&D. It's a great way to wrap up a long-running fantasy TTRPG campaign.

Start a garden, cook monsters, run a festival booth, reforge old weapons, flirt with mysterious strangers, and more in a new version of the game with tons of art and new storybook-style layout!

(more info and full description of the mini-games in the read more!)

The structure of the game is based on characters having an Adventurer Job, with Adventurer Experiences that represent their abilities and powers, and a Town Job with Town Experiences. You can make new characters just for the game, or bring in old characters and recreate them with the existing Experiences or write your own.

As you play the game, you'll cross off Adventurer Experiences as you let go of them or let them fade into the background, and gain new Town Experiences that take their place. Along the way you'll upgrade your Tavern and give each other Keepsakes!

Games from the old Itch.io PDF version (0.41):

The First Step: Before you decided to put down roots here, before you found this group of friends, what were you doing? What was the first thing you learned about how to live in town?

NPC Sidequest: Your adventuring days may be over, but there are plenty of people in town that could use your help.

Wear and Tear: There’s always something to fix, or clean, or pay off.

Market Day: You never would have guessed how many things you need just to keep a tavern running. 

Homegrown: There’s something special about using ingredients grown nearby. Why not give growing your own a try?

Sliced: Sometimes supply routes get disrupted. Or maybe you just want to stand out from the rest of the taverns. Whatever the reason, you’re playing this game because you want or need to do one thing: cook with monster parts.

Romancing a Stranger: Someone in the tavern makes eye contact with you, and their gaze lingers a little longer than you’d expect. Your co-workers urge you on, and make every excuse they can to send you over to talk to the lovely Stranger.

Off the Clock: Where do you go after the tables are wiped down? Who’s heard every story you have about the worst people who have walked in?

A Friendly Tavern Brawl: Every tavern has its rowdy patrons. You know they’re good at heart, but sometimes when the ale is flowing and spirits are high, things get a little out of hand. How do you handle the situation?

Festival Day: Your town has a few festival days a year, and they’re some of your busiest. How do you prepare? How do you handle the influx of people?

A Bard's Tale: During your time as an adventurer, you accomplished many daring deeds. In fact, some of those deeds are retold to this day by travelling bards.

A Glass of the Gods: Sometimes a troubled adventurer will come in, looking for answers, and letting them drink themselves into oblivion is the wrong answer. It's up to you  to  mix the perfect drink, something perfect for the situation that can push the adventurer to look inside and find the answer on their own.

A Distinguished Guest: Someone important is in town, and they’re already almost here. The tavern has to be at its best for this guest. After all, they might leave a generous tip.

In the Rhythm of Things: Time passes. Rough edges are sanded down. Before you know it, life in town has become like breathing. You gather in your favorite part of the tavern and wonder where the time has gone.

New games for this crowdfunding campaign:

Shields and Skillets: Enchantments are volatile things, especially when they sit unused for long periods of time. You have to let go of your old equipment before it’s too late.

Shelter from the Storm: Early one morning, you feel it. A familiar ache in your bones. Something is coming.

A Funeral: As an adventurer, you said farewell many times. Sometimes it was only temporary. Most of the time, it wasn't. 

Retracing: You've left town for something: an errand, a vacation, an old favor. Suddenly, you recognize the route you're traveling. You've been this way before, during your adventuring days.

A Fleeting Memory: Something about the way the fire flickers lingers in your mind. The smell of hay and clover brings a tear to your eye. A fading memory resurfaces.

A Familiar Face: An old friend you haven't seen in a while has stopped by. Why not show them around the town and the tavern?

I tried making banchan last night so I could have some nice breakfast options. Left to right we have spicy beansprouts, kimchi* with bonus spicy cucumber, enoki pancake with marinated cucumber, and miso soup. My tongue hurts but the gochujaru tastes so good. u-u

(*There's two fundamental ingredients I was missing so legally it's kimchi style pickled veggies but I tried to flavor match.)
