Tortugas Games is two brothers who are insanely committed to bringing our love of gaming and emergent storytelling to everyone! We strive exhaustingly…we tend to work entirely too hard but we love it…for exquisitely beautiful products that feel, look, and play like a cohesive self-evident experience.  We make the games that we want to own and play, without compromise for “market profitability.” By staying true to our vision, we strive to make the perfect experience for the All-Gamer (consummate gamer?). Through an intense focus on design, careful consideration is given to the aesthetic and sensorial physicality of each component, and a dedication to bringing worlds to life through art and theme.  This design philosophy is coupled with an unerring commitment to core gameplay and a pursuit of cohesive flow.  We hope that each round, each play session, each unboxing evokes wonder and hair raising squeals of excitement in anticipation of the bonding and merrymaking to come!

Owner/artist behind Lairbrew. As a creator, I make plush! I am always working on new projects and have a rather eclectic collection to offer at this point! I look at my plush as a way to put some happiness in to the world that persists beyond my personal bubble. Hearing about what my plush mean to people keeps me going. Backerkit is mostly where I run series plush, so you can expect some fun stuff from me here! As a backer, I'm a lover of all things bird, especially chickens! I'm always on the hunt for cockatrices and chicken item designs that are not the same cartoon telephone blob. I also love plush, mostly for display, and stuff to do with invertebrates, reptiles, fish, art, maybe bards. Fan-wise if a project has anything to do with pre-One D&D copper or blue dragons, Trigun, and Dungeon Meshi I am going to be keen on it. I also like shinies for my wife. About Lairbrew: Lairbrew is a queer owned, disabled operated, plush focused art shop. It opened in January of 2020 with just a few of a single sticker design, finally sold the first one on Valentine's day, and very gradually grew from there as just a sticker and pin shop. After a notebook design took off, I decided to pursue a dream of mine: designing a plush. The first pre-order for Rikki the Kobold was sold in January of 2022, and the rest is history! Since then I've shipped thousands of small batch plush consisting of over 50 designs. If you need to get in contact with me directly: https://lairbrew.com/pages/contact
