Gallerie TTRPG: Queer Stories of Beauty, Horror, and Hope

Hey all we are less than 5k away from FUNDED! With your help spreading the word and reaching for those add ons we can get to the goal with 20 days left on the clock and have a ton of time to get those stretches in after! Join us for a live game stream starting RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW on backerkit and on https://www.twitch.tv/halley_valentine

Thursday has a lot of streaming goodness going on! We've got a game going live in 3 hours here and on https://www.twitch.tv/weaponsgradefunk and a second game starting later this evening at around 7 pm Pacific! Both of these are ongoing campaigns. The first hasn't been streamed here before, but is the oldest Gallerie game running presently with the first set of testers!  The second is the next installment of the Tangle Hollow game, the preview two of which you've already seen streamed here and are featured over on Twitch! Hope to see you soon!

Hello everyone! We've got new stuff to see and new people to meet! 

First off:



A lunch-break-sized video for your longform watchers! This gets into the other requested piece of content: Gallerie's manifestations and how they relate to themes of queerness, neurodivergence, and therianthropy. Its mostly me yammering on a hyperfixation tangent about esoteric gender concepts so if you like that sort of thing you're in for a treat (and I'm hoping you do, because this game's kinda built on it).

We are just over 6K away from funded, with 4 days left till the 20 days remaining mark!  I would be *very* pleased if we funded by then, it would give us a lot of time to reach stretch goals and really help boost visibility. PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD! WE CAN DO IT!

On the subject of meeting goals and getting some queer visibility in the gamespace, I wanna show you some cool projects!

Yall may have noticed we're collaborating with Wet Ink Games on their new project! That's super exciting, it means new rewards for all of you if you support over there. I'm going to drop the link here for you but this is just the tentative announcement. The colab reward is currently being designed and it's cool af, so I'll be waiting till its ready to do the big reveal.  For now just know their game Our Lives, Our Fortunes is about the minority experiences and stories during the American revolution, legends and folklore, and is headed up by a company that *also* found Kickstarter's unionbusting bullshit to be pretty friggen gross, so they're out here Backerkittin' and I'm here for that.



I also want to give a shoutout to these peeps! Brightbard was kinda enough to feature me in an update and I love to see more unabashedly queer voices in the game space. Go check out their project, it's a quick and easy 40page one-shot with a cheap pdf buy-in so give it a peek!

Hey all, thanks for chiming in about the videos! I've got one up for you as of RIGHT NOW, which should give you a fun overview of several cool abilities in the game (though the sampling is pretty small, Gallerie has hundreds of abilities before you even touch the Brushwork). CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS WHICH ONE'S YOU'RE STOKED ABOUT!




In addition, I want to take this opportunity to pass a huge thank you to Mercedes Lackey and Zombie Orpheus for their feature! This is incredible. As many of you have heard me say before, reaching your audience is the hardest part of this entire process. Yes, I'm including 2 years of development in that statement. Because I know how to *do* that. I know how to iterate and adapt, test and design, build and re-build. Ultimately every challenge there is just time and persistence and skills I've spent years cultivating. But marketing is a whole different beast. Projects live or die on marketing. It's a job that takes teams and I'm a single person already doing a team's worth of jobs. So when someone influential comes along and is willing to offer support like this:


It means the absolute world. Because they have an enormous audience I don't have and have no realistic chance at reaching without their help, and that's what we need more than anything else right now. I can't thank you enough Mercedes and ZOE, this was a hell of a mood booster.

ALL YALL SHOULD GO CHECK OUT THEIR CURRENT PROJECT!


Likewise, We've gotten some amazing features over on Insta from Phil Brucato of Onyx path and Jeremy Spray, THANK YOU BOTH! 

Hey all, guess who showed up in the mail today! (I'd love to embed this vid right here for you but Backerkit is really grumpy about anything that isnt a youtube longform link and youtube catagorizes this a short so it's a whole...thing).

SO INSTEAD CHECK IT OUT HERE! https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lyzwawwf7tsqt6a5bh6eal2b/post/3mnnv2faj5k2v
