Hey Everyone!
Another week, another episode of Slugblaster TV, coming to you live at our irregularly scheduled time of Thursdays half past moon! Ray here with another mondo update brought to you by Teenage Angst.
Did you know that Slugblaster has a powerful yet simple engine to help your characters grow?
With Slugblaster's powerful Beats system, you too can grow distant from your mom as you melt your brain away with multidimensional peelback.
Because here at Slugblaster, we believe in deeper roleplay through narrative arcs. Like eating a bag of chips.
With infinite Doorways, the choice is always yours.
BIG BAD CON
Holy moly wasn't that something? I'm not even quite sure if I'm fully decompressed yet. So many cool people. So many games. Absolute 0% brainpower left by the end of the con. It was great. Can't wait to run it back.
Here are some pictures:
The Blades in the Dark Discord Crew, or at least as many as we could muster. Mikey, MK (She who Ships in Darkness) and ThisisVictor.
Me after my second session of Slugblaster. Yes, I wore the same hoodie all weekend. And I'd do it again, damnit. I'd do it again.
Overall, I think we managed to get Slugblaster one of the most played (I counted 10 seshes) and talked about games of the show.
Mikey running a playtest of Street Gods, his last game of the evening. By all accounts it slapped.
Right after Moe, me, and Mikey after a very long Saturday night unwinding with some whiskey. Sorry not sorry we ran out Zeb before you got there. Moe necked the last of it shortly prior before this picture was taken. It was delicious.
(but not as delicious as your one million beer varietals plucked fresh for the juice of the gods. freakin' norcal.)
Yeah overall it was a good time and I probably should have gotten a haircut before. Oh well. You live and you learn and next year you sign up for the POC Meet and Greet properly so you don't get dirty glances when you crash the party.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!
Mikey, the mad lad, did it. A 180! It took a lot. But y'know what? If it were easy, we would've had it up a long time ago. No. This shit was hard. So hard that we only have it now. Like, a couple of days after we unlocked it.
Check it here or in the achievement below.
SO FUCKING CLOSE
As of writing we are $3,685 dollars away from funding. Can y'all help us make that happen? Pretty Please?
There's a couple of things that can help us out. First, if you can please help us spread the love to your gamer friends, skater friends, and that small little intersection of skater and gamer friends. Surely we haven't tapped them all.
The other thing that really helps is if you interact with our posts, comment, upvote, etc. here on BackerKit. Doing so increases our visibility on the platform. Speaking of which...
New Poll!
Originally the plan was to release a sticker at $30k, but we figured we'd throw it to y'all to see what goes in the box. So, what do you think? What should we throw in that ultra deluxe primo pie?
The Choice is Yours!
OTHER COOL PROJECTS
If you like RPGs, you should check out
Dice Exploder! Each week, Sam Dunnewold goes deep with a co-host on a new RPG mechanic. I love it. Listen to it on the road and at the gym. They're looking for a couple of bones to fund the next season, and maybe if we all collectively say yay we will have the power to summon Lord Harper, The Family Bakers, and other illustrious luminaries of our little corner of the industry.
Also, do you like Owlbears?
Because Metal Weave Games and Andreas Walters, the lord of Owlbears, has a new Baby Beastiary Calendar for 2024 featuring the art of Nala J Wu. That's a woohoo from me because physical artefacts are necessary to preserve the past. And, like, help, with organizing events. Like haircuts.

Alright! That's all from me! Word on the street is Mikey is going to decompress and debrief about Big Bad Con as well. Did you know he was in and out in less than 32 hours? The mad man.
Peace!
