Here's a picture my 4yo drew yesterday. Is it weird to say it makes me feel something?

Who likes drugs?
Who likes finding random drugs in a Wizard's tower and taking them so you can peer into oblivion??
Well then you better get your ass over to the Stargazer Keep Kickstarter campaign before the campaign ends. There are plenty of psychotropics to go around!

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 7: The Haunted Dreamer!
This is a character who's having a rough time. They're quite literally haunted, deprived of sleep, and more than a little unstable. Instead of seeking therapy, they find themselves in a megalithic tower in the middle of the desert.

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 6: The Wicked Legion!
This is one of my favourites! The concept here is these characters are possessed. Like, a lot. They can generally maintain control of themselves, but on occasion the demons come out with blood and fury.

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 5: The Cursed Singer!
Magic is very powerful and widely accessible in Stargazer Keep, and we wanted to make a class that really hones in on that. Enter the Cursed Singer, who is given enhanced magic abilities, but at a cost.

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 4: The Holy Outlaw!
Essentially a mercenary, a sword for hire, but specifically under employment by the church. It’s a twist on traditional paladin-style classes, one that may lack moral superiority.

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 3: The Chained Vicar!
Literally a priest who was locked away for criminal behaviour, broken shackles still attached. Though they may be disgraced or even discommunicated from their faith, they still cling to their holy sacraments.

Ok, I'm gonna do one more, this time with the text of all three zines.
The top 3 words are KEEP at 132, DAMAGE at 131, and STARGAZER at 125.

And here's our Orange book, the Raiders of the Machine God! This is the actual meat of the adventure, so we have some fun words like... oops, more damage!

Next is Red, the Stargazer's Guidebook. Damage is still high on the list, but this time its been overtaken by some of the more obvious choices, like voyager and stargazer!

I thought it might be fun to generate some word clouds using the text from each of the 3 zines we're publishing in our first Stargazer Keep Kickstarter campaign.
Starting with our Black zine, the Voyager's Handbook.
Be prepared to take some damage, I guess!

Stargazer Keep Class Reveal Part 1: The Nameless Stranger!
A character whose identity is defined by self-determination. They have rejected the name they were given at birth, and their power comes from the control they have over their identity.

Happy to announce that we FINALLY crossed the $10k cad threshold for Stargazer Keep on Kickstarter.
As promised, we'll begin revealing each of our 7 classes! Likely starting tomorrow morning.
Thanks to everyone who helped us get this far!

Hey folks, time to talk some Stargazer Keep mechanics!
When you think of cosmic sword & sorcery, or just sword & sorcery in general, what are the heroes wearing? There's usually quite a bit of skin exposed. Any armor worn by these characters seem to be purely aesthetic.

Hey folks! Let's make a character for Stargazer Keep!
If you're familiar with Mork Borg, this is going to look familiar. On top of rolling for abilities, we're going to randomize our class, weapon/armour, equipment, and a bunch of other fun stuff. It's a quick and simple process. Let's get into it!

Beneath Stargazer Keep, sealed behind a heavy, iron door, a soul-hungry demon drags his chains as he prowls the halls of the Crypt. These catacombs are packed with the bones of all who have fallen in the tower, taken by the demon's chains at the moment of their death. 1/6

I'll leak a spoiler for Stargazer Keep that illustrates what we're going for here. There's a massive brass organ in the very first room of Raiders of the Machine God. We've referred to it as our big red button.

Folks, we're so close! It looks like we're going to hit 100 backers sometime tonight, so you can expect me to drop by Dio top 20 list first thing tomorrow morning.
If you have any deep cuts you would want to see on a top 20 list, this is your last chance to convince me!
