A social milestone and keeping it 100

Added 2024-07-19 15:56:44 +0000 UTC

Hey folks! I was out of town visiting the in-laws over the weekend and a few special things happened.

-Finally watched Furiosa (loved it, George Miller is King)
-Watched Akira (again)
-reached 20k+ followers on instagram

Hitting 20k in instagram wasn't necesarrily a goal of mine, I'm a pretty introverted reserved person irl, but it struck me how crazy it is to have this following, and the support your all give is truly humbling. I took a look a some old conversations and realized there are a few things that I built up hype for, and then quickly got sidetracked. It's easy to loose track of some of these projects when I'm sculpting new things every month however it's not fair to just leave these projects behind.

One of these projects was a game inspired by the bike gang scenes in AKIRA. I did a bit of design a few years ago, mentioned the game in a few discords...then nothing. Well, today, at least there is something. While watching Furiosa I got a huge boost of inspiration and re-examined the rules I had and had a few light bulb moments. This game is essentially a rank and file game turned on it's side, and using that core set up there are a a few neat avenues for this design.

So rather than again saying "im working on the design" Here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna keep it at 100.

-The 'Tough Pills Crew' is available now to all journeyman and Forgemaster patrons

-v1 rules will be released to the patreon in September (cus we're working on Arsenal right now ;) )

-There will be an open call for playtesters in September as well, we will have 10 slots available.

If all goes to plan we will have a game ready to be released in some form for the holidays
