70 hours left to back Glatisant! i got to see an incredible early version of this game a few months ago, and you don't want to miss what Graftbound is making! and, any print objects by @oddsandents.bsky.social are worth their weight in gold

I feel it. I worry about people playing the stuff I make but I also am the kind of person who’s very interested in the physicality and tactility of objects I own.

I have purchased my first ISBN (well 10). I feel mostly like the price is wild, and having only the one option in the US is wild for an internationally recognized system.

Libraries make Graftbound run and why aren't you in one right now?

Graftbound Press ➡️ Glatisant on Kickstarter @graftbound.bsky.social · 3d

One of our favorite add-ons for the Glatisant campaign is covering the cost of a community copy of Glatisant. This looks like a digital download available on the game's future itch page AND a physical copy donated to a library or other public gaming space

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

For the Glatisant Kickstarter we kept things simple, with only 3 tiers. You can get just the Book for $25 or you can get everything by choosing the Quest Tier, which gets you the book, the sticker sheet, the journaling stickers, the pins, and the lino print, all for $65

Go read @explorersdesign.bsky.social's 3rd entry in his ENNIES debrief.

The awards have always felt arcane to me in a way that I never really understood why certain games sank and swam or were nominated for categories that didn't make sense.

Well worth your time!
