MIRACLE WORKERS
Physical backer update: all the back pages are written, and we're currently in the process of extracting your names and addresses from Patreon's database and sending that data over to our printer so they can distribute 'em. This should happen before the week is over.
Also one of the back pages is a play-by-post game about global alien domination called THIS IS MY FIRST RODEO so, you know, it's been worth the wait.

I've been knocking this idea around for a little while, as evidenced by this tweet:
So I've developed it into a "full" game, which is one page long. Please see the image below for a hint into my naming process (kinda sad CORPSE GETTERS didn't make it to the end):
Full disclosure: in addition to me, everyone else under the sun has been knocking this idea around for a while. It's in Dungeon Meshi. It's in Cyberpunk, and Shadowrun, and my favourite-even-though-no-one-plays-it SLA Industries. I think it's even in Ptolus: City by the Spire but my weak arms aren't strong enough to pick up all 550 pages of sourcebook to check.
Sue me. It's a fun idea.
Plus I got to make it about how bad capitalism is, because of course I did, and I did a little drawing of a dungeon and annotated it with various horrible deaths, and I invented a few unpopular gods to worship too. You could probably strip out the rules (my thanks to Chris MacDowall's Into the Odd, which powers this experience) and shoehorn in your D&D 5e if learning a new system is a dealbreaker for you, but if learning a new system is a dealbreaker for you, you wouldn't be on this Patreon.
Busy month next month; I'll be at Pyrkon in Poland as a special guest, which as far as I can tell is an excuse to shovel as many free dumplings down my neck as I possibly can. (I'll be writing them a game, too, to distribute at the con!) But I reckon I can work something out for you lot. I've got bills to pay.
Love and chaos,
Grant
