I did not realize how many people were in the audience because I was sitting more towards the front. And I got there a little early. So, you know, I was facing forward and then I turned around to look out at the stage and I was like, there are people all the way to the back.

this is crazy so thank goodness I'm a dungeon master because I had to go into dungeon master mode and just be like I you know instead of totally blanking out and having nothing to say you know I think being a game master gives you the ability to speak through uncertainty so that's what I ended up doing and yeah it was not something I thought I would experience once let alone four times in one night yeah

I love writing. I think they're my favorite thing to write because they're micro settings and I get to put all the really concrete world building into them that I left out of the core rules to make the core rules usable chameleon style across multiple universes. So I'm writing three more curse scrolls right now. And I think we're going to try to kickstart them in March.

Oh, who knows? I think it's... Pressure, pressure. Right, the pressure. Because corals always do so well. And then supplements are sort of... I don't think they're expected to do that well, so if we did anywhere close to how the Shadow Dark main Kickstarter did, I would be floored. But I've been surprised a lot the last year, so you never know.

Yeah, probably since maybe like 2018 is when I really started to think I wanted to write a system. I commissioned the first piece of art for the game in like 2018. Oh, okay. And it's actually the piece that's on the cover.

Right, the Ten-Eyed Oracle. Exactly. There's just the one in the game, so he's a unique character. I commissioned that piece of art and then stared at it for two years while the rest of the game was sort of formulating. And it's funny, it's almost like I feel like having that piece of art made me be like, I can't put this incredible piece of art to waste. I have to really take it seriously.

Because the artist Lucas Cort, he took it seriously. He did this incredible piece. And I was like, I have to write something that can rise to the occasion of this just stunning piece of art he did. So I started writing it in my mind then and then put it to paper starting in about 2019.
