It's been some time. We shipped everything a while back now this year, and I have the remaining 70 copies of the game in my storage unit here in Denver. If you reach out this week to my email ([email protected]), I'm happy to help you with anything that went missing or didn't arrive. Please don't just reply here on the update, I don't receive notifications of the comments, so they aren't the best place to say hi or connect. Definitely email me.
I would love to see people share their gameplay experiences with the game so far! How have your cities been? What factions do you love to play? Any structures that are your go-to for points? Resource gathering?
Or the oracle-- How has the oracle served you for single player mode? Or for reading as an oracle itself? Curious how many people added the oracle cards to their Alleyman's decks.
Monday next week is the final cutoff. If I don't hear from people by then about a missing item or the like, I'll assume we're all good.
In the meantime, I launched Take Me to the Dark on the 3rd over on Kickstarter. It's a 3-game project. New Avernus was my return to game design and publishing, and it was seriously great to see you all come here to support this project for $27,000! So Take Me to the Dark is my followup, sticking to doing 1 game and 1 divination project a year.
All three games on this project are card-based roleplaying games. ZOETROPE and WHAT WE POSSESS use their own special cards, while SECRET HALLS makes use of a playing card deck for its gameplay. While it comes with a special made playing card deck, any standard deck of cards work for the gameplay.
As card-based games, the three games require little book keeping. There is no need for character sheets or pencils. That makes these games ideal for little to no preparation before sitting down to play, and best suited for one-shot games-- that being games that are run for one game session and completed in that time.

Take Me to the Dark: 3 Games of the Strange by Publishing Goblin — Kickstarter Each game is just $25, will come in a small game box, and can be grabbed in a bundle for $60. If you have time, and the funds, please give it a look. I know that growing a games audience from my divination audience is a bit hardwon, but I'm looking to really support both equally. Also the artists on these games have worked so hard on their pieces, I can't wait to share how beautiful all the components truly are!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to take a look. If you find they aren't your kind of thing, but you want to support your local Publishing Goblin, please pledge at the $5 tier. It means the world to me to have any and all support I can find.
