Okay, so this is the coolest.

My friends at @TheDeckofMany, who created the astoundingly beautiful and successful #Humblewood campaign setting, have come up with a new one, a creepy, whimsical RPG setting called HECKNA.

The kickstarter is in its last 17 hours.

BUT...:)

They asked for $20k and have raised almost $600,000 already. WOW!

Here's the fun part. If they make their last stretch goal, I will write a graphic novel in their setting, drawn by a SUPERSTAR artist.

I am so excited by this, it is SCARY and FUNNY.

If you signed up for their fantastic #HUMBLEWOOD setting, you know the quality of the work they do. The books are like museum pieces. There's tiers for every budget.

But what really excites me is the setting. Take your D&D characters to a bizarre, surreal carnival...LOOK!
It may be the coolest D&D setting I've ever seen.

You end up meeting HECKNA, the terrifying jester who runs the REVELIA, a big top of unsavory splendors...and he wants YOU to join his troupe.

It's indescribably awesome.

:)

Also, THIS thing...YIKES.
You can make the tone anything from classic Tim Burton to outright terror and suspense.

They've crushed every stretch goal so far, we just have a couple left. If they make it, backers will get to read an original graphic novel written by me, drawn by REDACTED!
Check it out, this is the mix of RPGs and the comics world that I absolutely love.

Stretch goals have made special dice available, miniatures, special card decks, and more.

But the setting will blow your mind. :)
Since you destroyed the last stretch goal, I will be playing a streaming game session with the game's head writer, @ashleynhwarren, and we will all be wearing carnival garb and THAT IS ALREADY DISTURBING TO CONTEMPLATE!

Go look. It really is the funnest.

If you follow me, I HIGHLY recommend this. Their last kickstarter was unbelievable and this one is just as cool, if not cooler.

Let me know if you signed up!

Thanks!

PS. When you hear the artist, you're gonna be happy. ;)
ACK! There are only FIFTEEN hours left, not seventeen!

Okay, I am about to tell a bit of a story.

You're going to want to be prepared for this, fair warning.
Seriously, this is quite emotional.

It's about a little boy who fell in love with superheroes at a very young age.
His name is Zaadii, he's Navajo, and when he was just three years old, his sister got a FROZEN cape.

At the same time, he discovered the BATMAN syndicated tv show, the Adam West one, and he decided that superheroes were EVERYTHING.

So, he stole the cape every chance he got.

I have a weird theory that sounds incredibly goofy but might actually be significant.

It involves Bronson Pinchot.
Okay, this is a bit silly sounding. But I think it might actually also be meaningful, so bear with me (no pun intended).

If there are holes in this theory, happy to hear them. But I think I'm onto something.

It's about movies we loved as kids.

Here we go.
I think we have almost all experienced it if you have a soul at all. We've all had a move we loved as a kid or teen, that when we watch it a decade or more later, we find really cringe-inducing moments. It may be misogyny, it may be racism, transphobia is weirdly common...

If the Hobbit were written today, the dwarves would be hoarding a big trove of exposure.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.
Okay, so, I have been looking with avaricious eyes at the Nat20 Dice Books from @Nat20_DiceBox, they are gorgeous books that fold open to reveal a dice tray...and they went and MADE ME ONE.

Holy crap, look at it! Dragonburndesigns.com
This will be in my grubby hands early next week!

It’s in walnut, so it will match the gaming table we have coming!

I’m sorry, but I am now officially too fancy for normal RPG gaming.

One must attire appropriately and extend a pi okie when killing orcs!

Okay, you remake the Lord of the Rings with Muppets.

Obviously,

Kermit - Bilbo

And his nephew Robin is Frodo.

What other Muppet gets cast as which LOTR character?

Please use hashtag

Fozzy SEEMS like Sam.

But he has to be Beorn, right?
Gonzo's chickens are the Eagles

And Sam the Eagle is actually Saruman.
