Project Update: A poll and a pop quiz....

Hey there,

Hope your weekend is going well! I've been busy fixing all the changes my proofreader came back with for my most recent game, Punk is Dead. That one is going out to backers next week in PDF format, and Iill also be releasing a "barebones" version on my Patreon.

Here's a small bit of marketing for my Patreon and then I promise I will get to the meat of this update:

It's only £3.50 and you get a game each month. As well as that, there are random updates from me, like the ones you get here, a chance to playtest Beta stuff I'm working on and the jump on any new games I create. You also get exclusive access to a Discord channel. You can also AMA, which I believe is young people speak for shoot questions at me. But please don't ask me just *anything*. Keep it focussed as I really don't have all the answers.

So, I love getting your comments and questions. I love it so much that I am going to start soliciting them more often and I am starting off with a double bill.

First up is a poll. I've previously asked you all, which forager you are most like (you can still get involved with that). Today's poll looks at the settings I outlined in a previous post. Which one of the following settings would you most like to explore?:

  • Empty Streets is an urban sprawl where you will explore backyards, parks, trash cans and shopping malls. Like everywhere in this world, nature has become the town planner.

  • Tangled Branches is a forest setting, not dissimilar to the Pacific Northwest. Think Twin Peaks, douglas firs, abandoned lodges, empty waterparks and secret nooks behind powerful waterfalls.

  • Fresh Snow is vast expanses of tundra, chill winds, remote research stations and glacial caverns. Hopefully your fur will keep you cosy.

  • Misty Lake is eerie waters, remote tree covered islands, muddy banks and dilapidated jetties. You may occassionally need to swim, or try your paws at rowing.

The poll is attached to this email.

Next up is a quiz!

Ready?

That wasn't the question. This is it:

We have a stretch goal at 150k for a new setting called Headlands. What do you think that setting is?

The winner gets 657 points. If there is more than one correct answer you will have to figure out how you share the points between yourselves. Unfortunately, I won't reveal what The Headlands are until we hit the stretch goal or the campaign ends; whichever comes first. Put your guesses in the comments.

Here's the small print for the quiz. It's the smallest I could make it.

Okay, that's me done for today. That quiche isn't going eat itself.

Have a wonderful remainder of the weekend. I'll be nipping in and out to read/answer your comments and questions.
