How many magic mirrors and golden slippers can you steal before you're arrested?
we have been told that it is February
Exhaustingly, despite all efforts to the contrary, it is February 2021. We continue to make games as our government blunders pachinko towards some sort of pandemic resolution; time remains a senseless morass punctuated by brief periods of sunlight and the occasional “weekend,” a relic of the Before Times where ancient peoples would do things like Go Out and Meet In Groups and Approach Within Six Feet Of One Another, which as we all know now is expressly forbidden on pain of not being invited to the Weekly Clap.
Anyway, games:
ONCE UPON A CRIME
ONCE UPON A CRIME is a free one-page roleplaying game where you, a horrible fantasy bastard, have broken into a legitimate fairytale kingdom through a greasy portal and now you’re stealing as much as you can carry before you get arrested, killed, or otherwise run out of town. Contains full rules for becoming more powerful, and more fragile, the more stuff you attempt to lug around on your back.

JINGLE JINGLE FOLKS, IT’S AN ADVENTURE CALENDAR
You can download the collected ADVENTURE CALENDAR campaign/setting/adventure/list of jokes about Christmas from our website now - it’s Grant’s bold attempt at reinvigorating his 1-page roleplaying Patreon by publishing 25 times his average level of content for the same price (free). It starts out as a fun thing about Christmas Markets and tinsel gags and it develops into grim end-of-the-world scenario as the First and Final God, the Winter Eternal, rends apart reality with its wretched claws.
Once we’ve got the prints available we’ll sell it as a physical booklet, but for now it’s just the pay-what-you-want PDF.
UNBOUND IS INBOUND
It’s been fun learning about the import laws of the European Union ever since the brandy-addled shysters of the Conservative party decided it was a good idea to wrench us out of it in the manner that one might dislocate a shoulder by throwing oneself down a flight of stairs.
However, we’re happy to report that the reprinted Unbound books are currently en route to our distributor in Nottingham from where they will be packaged up and sent out to those of you who wanted to wait for a more correctly-aligned cover. We don’t have any firm details on exactly when that will happen because, you know, Brexit. But it’s happening. More when we know it.
We still can’t ship physical books to anyone in the EU without you, us, or both of us overpaying on import and export duties. Hopefully we’ll find some way of reopening trade soon - we might have to incorporate in Ireland or something. Brilliant.
Right, that’s everything for now. Much love,
- Chris, Grant and Maz
