OLD SUBSCRIBERS
Print copies have shipped to all faithful subscribers that have replied to either my email, seen this post, or otherwise contacted me directly. PDF codes have also been sent to the same people. If you didn't contact me, assume your zines were not sent. My subscriber list is seven years old, and I don't trust to blindly ship to those addresses that haven't been confirmed or otherwise verified. If you're not sure, just send me an email [rev.dak_AT_straycouches_DOT_com] or hit me up on a social platform [reverenddak or reverend_dak].
ITCH_DOT_IO
You may have noticed that I have opened shop over at itch.io. I like the gaming community they're creating there, and I like the way the store operates. If you're interested in "transferring" your PDF collection over to there, let me know. Itch is great because you can interact with your fans and comrades really well. Their dev_log feature is really good. You should check it out. I have a few dev logs already posted for Crawl! no.13: https://straycouches.itch.io/crawl-no13-deathmatch
NEXT UP
Strategicon/GATEWAY 2023. I plan to be at Gateway this weekend, but it'll depend on how I feel. I got a bug, and it's possibly COVID, but so far I'm testing negative. We'll see. I want to run some DCC After Dark style sessions, either off the book or as a demo at the Goodman Games booth.
Deathmatch Cards. If you visit the dev log, you'll see I mention these "deathmatch cards". I plan to make a whole set that coincides with the Deathmatch dungeon in Crawl 13, CRAWL DM1. If you missed it, check it out: https://straycouches.itch.io/crawl-no13-deathmatch/devlog/579998/more-cards. My prototype deck is very cool. It consists of 63 cards, and will make running my deathmatches easier. My plan is to finalize the Print & Play version of the deck, and then get a set printed out professionally. Maybe, hopefully, have the set available, possibly throw them up on DriveThruCards.
Crawl! no.14! The actual title hasn't been settled yet, but it may be Domains and Downtime!, or just Downtime!, or even Dominion! I'm leaning towards Dominion! because it sound bigger and badder. I'm sure you can tell what it's about. It's my take on how to handle downtime and a domain, this includes followers, hirelings, and mercenaries, and the problems and responsibilities that follow high-level characters. It'll feature two new mechanics. One of them will be built on the gambling game Rat Snake called the Downtime Gambit. The other will be a Domain Die, which will be based again on a loaded encounter die, i.e., the Hazard die. I'll be posting more on this soon.
That's it for the near future. I laid out other future plans on this post, go check it out:
