Hi all,

I know Tim usually does these updates, but this is my first crowdfunding project, and I am excited to try this out as well as push buttons and knobs. I also like stealing Tim's spotlight >;3.

So, I know some of you know me but many of you do not. I started my journey with role-playing games when I was 11, finding old AD&D Books in a used bookstore. I couldn't stop once my hands were on them. That led me here. I won't go much longer with the sap and sweetness. I just wanted to let you know that kid version of me had a rough time. Today, he would be pretty proud. So when I say thanks, be sure I mean it.

This is just the begining of the journey, and there will be plenty of things for you to get involved in over the coming days and weeks. I've put together a list of bits and bobs for you to check out / watch out for below:

  • 📊 There's a new poll out - let us know which undead you would like to be. I'm pretty surprised by the results, so far.

  • 📺 If you missed the launch stream that included actual play of Death Valley, it will be here on Twitch for a while and then we will shift it over to our YouTube channel.

  • 💀 Speaking of YouTube, we have a bunch of shorts that outline the types of undead you can play in Death Valley. If you couldn't decide on the poll, they may help.

  • 📖 There will be a quick start coming out during the campaign. We're just polishing it up right now. Watch the updates for news on this.

In addition to that, you can come and see us, live and in the flesh, at one of the following events during the campaign:

  • Gamehole Con, Wisconsin 16th - 19th October (I'm literally jumping on a flight in a few hours to get to this). 

  • MCM London. 24th - 26th October. We'll have demos for Death Valley through the weekend on our booth.

  • Spiel Essen, Germany. 23rd - 26th October. Sarah and Tim are heading back to the biggest tabletop con in the world for the fourth year running.

  • Tabletop.me, Dubai. 7th-9th November. Come see us in the UAE and chat about the games.

That's all for now, but there will be more news in the coming days. Once again, thank you for your support.

Yee-Haw, 

Your pardner in TTRPGs, Aaron

Hey there,

I just wanted to send you a quick update to let you know that our campaign for Death Valley, a horror western TTRPG will be going live next week.

From 7:55 PST (3:55 GMT) you will be able to watch us on a live stream as the campaign kicks off. I'll be talking to the writer, Aaron Bryant about the game and you will be able to ask your questions in the chat and I will put them to him.

After the chat we will be rolling the first of three live play episodes!

Please do put this one in your calendars as we'd love to see you there.

Tim
