maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

So... urban fantasy author and award-winning TTRPG creator Danielle Linder (@daniellejlinder) and I decided to run with this as a writing prompt. We've launched a BackerKit campaign for our novel Weaver's Vintage, and a companion TTRPG system Jazz.

Weaver's Vintage is the novel, about two women caught up in a mystery, trying to solve - or resolve - a curse before it catches them up in its coils of dark magic and not-so-happily-ever-after.

Jazz is a narrative-driven TTRPG (tabletop roleplaying game) system, designed and written to run the story of Weaver's Vintage - and any number of other stories, too.

Like romantasy, LitRPG, TTRPG, or all at the same time? This is for you.

Just saying, really loving writing this story, and looking forward to sharing it. :D
