Hi,

I hope you’re well.

Welcome to our first mid-week update. I’m hoping this will offer a regular, consistent approach to communication going forward!

In this issue:

The Systemic Kickstarter went live yesterday, and I’ve got a story in it, with art by Nina Poulston - see image below.

To back this Kickstarter, click or tap the button below.

Our year of conventions continues this weekend with Tabletop Scotland, at the Highland Centre near Edinburgh.

The map is below, with us highlighted in red, and our friends, Ludus Vulpes, highlighted in purple. We’ll have an amazing selection of comics, as well as our gamebooks, games and a selection of RPGs from Critical Kit.

To download a zoomable PDF of the map, click or tap the button below:

As well as the monthly deluxe PDF giveaway, Paid Subscribers will also start receiving a monthly serialisation of Hexes: Daybreak, written by me, and illustrated by Norm Konyu (A Call to Cthulhu/Downlands/The Junction).

Hexes: Daybreak is a speechless issue following Dawg, the morning she wakes up without her owner.

If you’d like to receive this comic a year before we go to Kickstarter, upgrade today using the button below. It costs $3 per month, or a year is even better value at $33.

In case you’re not aware, the UK Post Office has put into place a system where they now collect the 10% tariff for goods upfront from me, and pass it on to the US authorities. With this in mind, I’m not expecting any issues with postage, although we will be adding the 10% onto the reward costs (probably in Backerkit but I’ll let you know more when I do).

And lastly, I just wanted to remind you that the Blue Fox Website is now a front-end for this newsletter, where you can read all our past posts.

The Shop link on the website menu will take you to our latest Backerkit Pre-Order store, since this is always up to date with our products, and doesn’t need further admin (or money) to keep it going. Backerkit also offers weight-based shipping, which is surprisingly hard to find!

Thank you for reading this inaugural Mid-Week Update.

Let me know what you think!

Speak soon and stay safe,

Simon
