My group really loved me running the original Valley of Flowers, so this was an EASY back. PLUS, I'm a stretch goal!

If the campaign reaches $60,000 (a slam dunk), I'll be writing guidance for running this bad boy using Shadowdark!!!

Will have more to tell about this project in the weeks ahead, but for now I just want to say that we stand in support of the striking members of @kickstarterunited.org.

Every time I've been part of a campaign, it's the workers at Kickstarter who have made all the difference.

I'm especially excited to get to work with so many amazing artists on these next two volumes. Here are two character backgrounds from the Codex—the Ruined Noble and the Conclave Novitiate—illustrated by @amandalee.bsky.social

A dashing figure wearing ornate armor and a flowing cape, sword at side, leering mustachioed helmet in hand.

Robed figure wearing a basket on their back, pointing the way forward while bearing a staff topped with a burning candle.

We're launching on the birthday of Saint Jaquays, and if you know what I'm talking about then you know that's a very good omen indeed :)

There's! a! new! Virago! edition! of Naomi Mitchison's Travel Light coming next spring with a new introduction by @samanthashannon.bsky.social — and of course blurbs from @amalelmohtar.com, @hollyblack.bsky.social, & @ursulakleguin.com.
(I'm yet to find an artist credit for the fabulous cover.)
