a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

This might not translate globally, but for UK people, this is like seeing the Beatles reform

Photo of a miniature. It’s a converted beast of nurgle - horrible sloppy monster with the countenance of a puppy. The mouth is a squig mouth turned upside down

Same thing from the back. (Instep?) a few of his spots have popped, poor fella

Hey Grant,

quick one — do you do anything with your readers after they finish your book?

I've seen a few authors recently add a few hundred a month just from that alone, which surprised me.

Best,
Marcos

Baffling spam. A few hundred what? Just from what alone?

DIE is a world of infinite possibilities, limited only by the players and their cultural touchstones. However that said yes there is no Harry Potter in DIE

MID CAMPAIGN ADDITIONS - WHAT IF WE JUST DESCRIBE DIE

DIE: it’s like Jumanji for nerds. It’s Gygaxian Isekai. It’s Portal Fantasy with HP. Get in here.

Sure, you can roll Reflex to take half damage from a fireball. Try doing that to the emotional splash-damage of your parents’ divorce

Life never worked out the way you wanted it to. Now you’re trapped in a fantasy kingdom, and life still isn’t working out, but at least you’re a catgirl now

Is It Wrong To Try To Process My Emotional Trauma In A Dungeon? (Yes. You should have gone to therapy. But now you’re trapped in a magical kingdom, it’s the only option you’ve got)

Boyfriend Dungeon taught us we could love the dungeon. Dungeon Meshi taught us we could eat it. Now: what if the dungeon was a thinly-veiled metaphor for your strained relationship with your dad?

You’re thirty-seven years old. Your job sucks. Your wife just left you. And you’re trapped in an interdimensional fantasy realm forged of your own dreams and fears, which really is the icing on the cake

Maybe things weren’t better back in the day; maybe you were just younger. DIE takes the gentle, reassuring confection of nostalgia and reduces it to a bubbling heap with the oxy-acetalene torch of postmodernism 

THOSE JACKALS AT WIZARDS OF THE COAST ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR MONEY. Give US your money instead in exchange for the DIE Metadungeon

If you only play one TTRPG this year, you should probably try Realis. It looks great. But if you play two TTRPGs this year, one of them should definitely be DIE

DIE the RPG finally endorses your relentless obsession with dice by making them diegetic. And if you need us to explain what “diegetic” means, you probably wouldn’t enjoy the game anyway

How many dice do you reckon you could fit in your mouth? Normal-sized ones, I mean. Six-siders. I think I could get about twenty five in there before I started choking

(The competition is: if you do this maybe it'll unlock our next Stephanie Hans stretch goal. So it's not really a competition at all, and that's the sort of descriptive gumption that I admire in a producer)

DIE: Metadungeon Project Update: Fair Gold Shortage, New Art Stretch Goal, COMPETITION Less than a day after listing them, we have run out of Fair Gold coins. If you can't see them anymore, that's because there are none. They have gone. Wow. Thank you. Pleasing...

If Dungeon Crawler Carl is going to rock up to Backerkit, we're determined to at pick at their leavings; we've spun up some cockamamie engagement bait in an attempt to capture some of that crucial "People who might buy things with a 'Dungeon' in the title" crowd
