What happened to Cindy?
For real? That's amazing! I wrote this game knowing virtually nothing about rocketry.
Enormous thank you to the lovely folks at @bloomandblight.bsky.social for their kind words about Rocket Club! As a huge fan of the show, it means a lot to me.
$40,000+ raised! Just a little more to go to hit $50,000 for our charities!!!
"I wanted to make something fun and a little silly, but also focus on the power of youth and their unfortunate position as heirs to a damaged world with no choice but to save it themselves."

I'm admittedly biased, but I think the alien threat maker is fun even on its own. I have a stock-pile of alien invaders just in case.
Karen is amazing to work with and does such great work. Highly recommend to anyone in need of an editor!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed, and love hearing the feedback! ❤️
It's 2026. Why does anyone care what Moby thinks?
Haven't you always wished you could go back to middle school, hang with your besties, build rockets, and battle a terrifying alien menace? Of course you have, and now you can! Join the Rocket Club playtest from @evilhat.bsky.social

A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment. Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.
yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

I recently did a quick update of my game Trad Wolves. Just a couple of edits to the words, but I think it helps.

Now playtesting: Rocket Club by @emhubbard.bsky.social!
In this game of teens fending off an alien invasion, each roll results in an outcome, mood, and side effect. It's great for one-shots or short campaigns and includes two sample scenarios. Worlds collide in Rocket Club!
