The Stillfleet Studio creates high-quality, innovative, replayable story-driven games from a Leftist perspective. We make weird and elegant games that power unique social journeys through time and space. With a focus on roleplaying and player agency, Stillfleet Studio’s games are perfect for those seeking mind-expanding adventures in unforgettable settings. Primarily, we publish revolutionary tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) built on the flexible, player-empowering Grit System. Our TTRPGs include Stillfleet by Wythe Marschall (cosmic fantasy at its most curious—as heard on the hit podcast Fun City Ventures), Blister Critters by Anthony Grasso (cartoon eco-horror at its zaniest), Danse Macabre by Christopher Pickett (medieval horror at its most beautifully brutal), and The Sometimes Kingdom RPG by Ethan Gould (portal fantasy at its most magical). We launched a new comic-book Stillfleet quickstart right here on BackerKit! In addition, we publish original, addictively fun, wide-audience card games such as the Stillfleet spinoff Robot Hospital by Aaron H. and Yoink Boink by Anthony Grasso. Both of these fast-play games are easy to look at and even easier to learn. The Stillfleet Studio also publishes the game-design podcast Why We Roll, hosted by Christopher Pickett and Wythe Marschall. This informal, interview-driven, philosophical show is quickly becoming a force in indie RPG media. We are pro-union, working-class led, queer-friendly, trans-inclusive, anti-fascist, and decolonial. We believe that, in addition to providing hours of fun, games can educate and empower.

Best homebrew in the whole multiverse and far realm combined!

Hey there! I'm Kelly, a humble deck creator, tarot teacher, and reader. My journey began 45 years ago when my mom gave me my first deck. I was trained by a psychic in Los Angeles who was thorough and detailed. But even after all this time, I still take classes and attend events to learn from people like you. I love the community we have and am thrilled to share my 5th deck with you here on Backerkit! I live in Boulder, CO with my husband, Rick, Dog Wilson, and two budgies, Azzy and Kiwi. They are squaking even as I write this... Happy reading,  Kelly

Hello everyone! My name is Abi and I'm an illustrator and convention artist based in Norfolk, UK. I've funded multiple collections of enamel pins so far, including designs for others in the chronically ill, neurodivergent and queer communities. I love creating designs that empower and uplift people: This year I am returning to my artistic roots and creating new designs that are more fantastical in nature and Pintopia 2025 was the perfect opportunity to try out a new platform and a new approach to my enamel pin creations! I hope to keep making awesome pins with your help! If you'd like to see my illustration work you can find my portfolio at www.abistevens.com.

With over 8 years of experience in worldbuilding, storytelling and always-GMing, we look to bring to life projects with worlds that feel lived in and captivating to explore and discover. Giving scenarios and tools to GMs and players, letting everyone interact and transform the original written media. We love self-expression and it's important to us to let it shine through. That's why we like open endings and descriptions that leave room for interpretation, bringing new perspectives and insights into the experience. It’s not about omitting details; it’s about creating an open space for every game to have their own spice! We have a traditional TTRPG background, but in recent years, we've gravitated more towards narrative-driven systems. They're more accessible for newcomers and make it easy to get immersed in the story rather than the rules. So welcome, welcome! To anyone who loves tabletop RPGs and prioritizes engaging with the story above else!
