If you are in Christchurch today, stop by Armageddon and grab some Swords merch!! The BeaDnD stand will give you a good deal on a bundle and these are the last Quest Sprout plushies available anywhere. Tell them I sent you for a free wooden pin and stickers.

The collab project Dazzling Dungeon Decks is now funded, so if you were on the fence, help us get 3% more funded to unlock a fourth deck of cards.

Here's another free eBook, which is just a collection of Season 4-8 sword gags I like : Swords ~ The Vertical Slice eBookI'm gonna turn these into a physical book for Wellycon in May.

We're having a conversation about what I need to keep in mind if I launch a new Kickstarter for it : Thinking About Kickstarter

I'm currently working on multiple contracts until the end of the month. It wasn't the plan to have them all overlap, but one of the contracts is an agreement I signed in June and there are still scope changes being made minute to minute. I am aware that I am not everybody's favourite person right now and I am trying really hard not to use "I'm busy" as an excuse.

I'd really appreciate you giving me some grace over the next 10 days to finish everything I am contractually obligated to.

Now... I should spend my Sunday doing some laundry.
