Thank you so much to the nearly 300 backers on day 1 who helped us raise $15k to make Grand Guignol and Harvest a reality. It's super exciting that we were able to pull this off, and I hope we can maintain this momentum throughout the month. 

Tomorrow, at 8pm EST over in the Possum Creek Campsite Discord, we'll be having a Q&A session with Luke Jordan, the author and designer of both Harvest and Grand Guignol. We'll be talking about their interest in history, the queerness of both games, and how the design process went. If you have any questions for Luke, if you want to learn more about the games, or if you just want to hang out with a bunch of like-minded creatives, come join us at the Possum Creek Campsite on Thursday at 7pm. We'll have a copy of the audio available for backers after the fact.

As a special backer exclusive, we'll be distributing the manuscript of Grand Guignol to all backers at the bottom of this update. While it's not finished, it's certainly enough to play with your friends. Please read it, play it, and talk about how it goes! I think Grand Guignol is a marvelous game, and I hope that it sparks your imagination. Its section on gender in the Gothic is some of the most compelling writing on game design I've encountered in a while, and I love it tremendously.

We have no plans for stretch goals at this time and we'll be proceeding without them. If this changes for any reason we'll let you know, but for us the most important bit is compensating everyone well and ensuring the base project is the best it can be. 

Thank you all so, so much! I look forward to the rest of the campaign, and showing you more of both games as we go forward.
