Hi! I'm a writer of books and roleplaying game supplements, mostly in the fantasy genre.

You can find my books here, and my Patreon here.

Hi, I'm foxclover, a digital artist who has been around in these internet parts for the last 20 years. I'm a big fan of animals and enamel pins, and mashing the two together! I own the shop foxclover, and have experience with creating enamel pins, but sometimes, don't know if there is an audience for them! To date, I have been self funding my pins, which means the creation process is stifled by lack of funds, and also with the inability to experiment. I'm excited to be here on backerkit where I can interact more directly with my audience! <3

Hi! I'm Allen and I design stuff! I specialize in monsters, angels, and other weird critters

We make party card games for people who are bored of the same old party card games. You know the ones. We're the indie creators behind Swearmints, Cheer Up, Drawing Swords, and other analog cardboard boxes designed to get your friends off their phones. Our goal is simple: make games you'll actually want to play more than once — the kind that leave people crying laughing, yelling across the table, and making fast friends. If you like humor that's a little unhinged and games that don't collect dust on the shelf… welcome. 2026 Conventions -> Pax East, Pax Unplugged

Hi, I'm Manda! The main thing about me is that I love to create. Whether it's crafting, print and play board games, cosplay, sewing, embroidery, wood crafting, or 3D printing, I'm always looking for new projects to dive into. Right now, my biggest craft project is restoring our new-to-us 1850s urban home. It's been an incredible challenge, but also incredibly rewarding to see this piece of history come back to life. I'm a storyteller, designer, play tester, dungeon master, creator, and now game designer. My first game design is The Establishment: Inner Workings of a Secret Cabal. With The Establishment's launch, I've combined my love of crafting engaging stories and developing new gaming mechanics in a new, interactive way. When I'm not working on my house or creating something new, you can usually find me spending time with my cats and other foster pets. Thanks for checking out my profile, and I hope you'll consider supporting my projects!

Watercolor artist and bakery aficionado. Hello! I am a non-binary watercolor artist in Northern California, and my work is largely about the transformational nature of Death Work. I believe that we go through several different life and death cycles throughout the course of our lives, and that we can approach these times of hard transition and renewal with a sense of radical beauty and furious joy. “Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.” -Pema Chödrön In my work I often use imagery of skulls to illustrate that indestructible piece of self. So often we see skull art as dark art, and so I get a huge kick out of using soft colors and surrounding my subjects with flowers to illustrate themes of vulnerability, beauty, and strength. I love to find these things in the places where I have been taught to feel ashamed. You can find more of my work online in these places! Website / instagram / tiktok / bluesky /patreon

By day, Andy (he) is an antitrust economist who focuses on sports economics, especially related to college football and basketball. He's worked on several major lawsuits around whether and how college athletes get paid, and his first crowdfunded game, Envelopes of Cash, took full advantage of his knowledge of the underground economy of bag men and hundred-dollar handshakes.  He's also really into Euro-style board games, which led him to make Envelopes of Cash, a Euro that feels truly set in 21st-century America.  With his second effort, Skybirds, he returns to his childhood love of all thing related to WWI aviation and to a very different genre: trick taking.
