It's been a while, but after the successful Quests Over Coffee campaign I wanted to go and tackle some of those again. It's always good to remember the game that allowed me to reach so many of you and why y'all came around in the first place. I also wanted a reason to use Steambot Willie in something, so that was also a good motivator.
You can expect me to continue to do more Quests Over Coffee mini expansions for the time being. They will continue to be mini ones (i.e. 3 cards) and as silly as you've come to expect. I already have the 3 ready for May!
Successful dice pilot!
I wanted to try something new this month and create some physical things for people to pick up. Specifically Monsters Over Pancakes and Gem Day dice sets as they're the most recent games that require non-standard components. The pilot went really well and I sold out of those in a week.
I have the next batch of dice on my table to be put together and will be releasing another small batch in May. Stay tuned to Patreon or my socials for when those release.
Thwak!
Beyond the world of physical games, I've been plugging away on my video game "Thwak!". I've been calling it my "forever game" because it's something that I feel like I'll always be able to add onto. Maybe a fishing game here or a lockpicking game there. As you've probably noticed, I'm a fan of using game mediums to tell my silly jokes. This is no exception!
It's still really early pre-alpha and I'm not quite ready to let everyone play it yet. But I wanted to add it to the list because I've been working on it for a month and it's in a demoable state. The next time I post it will likely be when there's an actual endgame.
But since you're a member, I think it's safe to let all Patreon folks get access!

What's coming in May?
You can expect another Quests Over Coffee mini-expansion (paid Patreon only) and Monsters Over Pancakes expansion (everyone). I also have a word game/activity up my sleeve that's very, very simple, but I found myself tapping my pencil trying to solve it. I've even got cards printed up to mail with every order from the store this month.
Thanks again for being a member and see you next month!
