Hey gang! Jon here, with a quick update. 

It's been a whirlwind first week here on BackerKit! From y'all enthusiastically racing over our funding goal in just 48 hours to dozens of comments across our socials, it's been really heartwarming to see the response to Longsword, Glock, Bat, Taser 2nd Edition. With our print run funded, the next stop on the ride is a set of enamel pins of our titular four weapons! I'm pretty confident we'll cruise past that goalpost by the end of the campaign. 

In addition to LGBT, there's some other campaigns Bri and I have been keeping an eye on! These are projects by folks we know or just stuff we think you'll like. :] You can click or tap any of the banners to check out their projects on Kickstarter or here on BackerKit.

Soot and Charms is a roleplaying game set in a modern-fantasy Boston where the fae bargained with Edison to harvest energy from mortal storms. It's a really slick steampunk setting that I'm super excited to play around in. Also, Emily Entner, our usual graphic designer and one half of Graftbound Press is behind the visual design, in collaboration with some pretty cool comic artists!

We're far from the only folks running a queer TTRPG campaign during Pride! Gallerie, by Weapons Grade Funk, features art by a friend of ours (Gawki) and, like LGBT, is all about telling queer stories. Go check them out!

Listen, Bri and I love goblins, and Publishing Goblin is no exception to this rule. They've got some extremely punk Pride pins funding for a couple more weeks y'all might like!

This game has such a tight pitch that I'll keep mine equally brief: A Road that Knows your Name is a one-shot storytelling game that uses a deck of cards and legos (or something else to build with) about a group of people travelling aboard a vessel you construct. They had me at lego-powered TTRPG, to be perfectly honest.

That's All, Folks!

That's it for today! Thanks again to everyone who's been excited by our project and telling queer stories! Bri and I are psyched to be celebrating Pride with y'all, and we're excited to see where the rest of the campaign takes us this month. I'll check in again here when we tip over our first stretch goal (4.5k for 4 Weapon Enamel Pins!). Until then:

Cheers, and Happy Pride to y'all!
