The Witches of Wederra Keep poster by Hannah Templer

We just published episode 1 today for The Witches of Wederra Keep! We got our incredible cover art from Hannah Templer, an amazing illustrator and writer (I highly recommend their comic Cosmoknights). I've admired Hannah's work for years, and I'm honestly blown away by what she's developed for us. There's heart in this project every step of the way, and we're grateful for all our collaborators.

A movie poster of The Witches of Wederra Keep with a cast of characters arranged across the field. In the center our heroes - (L to R) Minerva the Old Soul with a basket of mushrooms and a purple cloak with faint sun emblem, Charley the Pure Heart, with her kingfisher familiar on her shoulder and magic at her fingertips, and Circe the Wild Spirt, at the ready with her dagger. In the background behind them is a spread of villains and the Wederra Keep - demons, hooded figures and cloaked and armed agents. An enormous shadow of a demon towers overhead in the clouds in the distance. In the foreground beneath our heroes, a mermaid on a rock at the edge of the sea, an old grandfather clock, a regally dressed woman, a scarred warrior, a portly barkeep, a giant wolf, and armed figures marching after the shadow of a creature in the forest, weapons on their backs. — The Witches of Wederra Keep poster by Hannah Templer images

You can find the show on all your favorite podcast platforms. Here's links to Apple Podcasts and Spotify! We also have an RSS you can subscribe to. I personally use a very bare-bones app called AntennaPod on Android.

Schedule

Our schedule for the first episodes is a little dictated by festival submission requirements, with a certain episodes out by certain dates for them to be considered.

Episode 1 - Jan 28
Episode 2 - Feb 4
Episode 3 - Feb 11
Episode 4 - Feb 18

Then we'll pick back up in March with a biweekly schedule until Episode 10, the end of Act 1, in May. We'll have a short break then, but I'll share more about it in the future.

Support our show!

Now that you've had a chance to hear it (and we hope you like it), we'd love to ask for your support. This project is entirely self funded and supported through small donations. We'd love to continue doing this and make more fine shows like this in a sustainable way, and for that we need your help.

Please consider supporting us with a membership on Patreon or one-time donations on Ko-fi. Thank you!

Games for an Ordinary Life — Deep Dive

Starting Tuesday February 11, I'm launching a kickstarter for Games for an Ordinary Life is an art zine of minimalist games that I wrote mostly during the 36 Word RPG Jam that ran through January. It'll be around 32 pages, including four brand new linoleum block

In January, it's so nice while slipping on the sliding ice.

This new year hasn't given me much time to breath – like a shock of cold air and the pressure to keep moving against the stinging conditions, and I can imagine that sensation has been going around. There's been really a lot to think about, and this

On Kindness

I’ve been feeling pretty rough about the political situation these days, and I know there’s a lot to be done, but one of the things on my mind is the overarching cultural moment we’re facing. I’ve been working on articulating my thoughts, going back and forth
