you got a minute? I need a favor

Hey everyone, it's Lex. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Today, I have a huge announcement about Titanomachy RPG and its future. This month marks 3 years since I joined TTRPG Twitter. I've met so many incredible people and learned so much from y'all. Your support has allowed me to take one HUGE step in my life. 

I recently moved to Maryland from Florida to get some basic human rights. I also left my job of 7 years to try and live unburdened by selling hours of my life to some random rich guy. And now, I'm taking Titanomachy RPG full-time.

Here I am, already having taken the leap. I have some money saved up, yes, but ultimately I am trusting in the generosity of others to help me build out a life I can truly love.

So yes, this is a Patreon announcement. And there's a link to Caltrop Core below (if you want to make a one-time contribution). But before anyone exits this email, I want to talk about all the cool stuff everyone can expect from me, regardless of Patreon status or donor status. I have a lot of exciting things coming in 2024, like:

a NEW open license d12 system called DODECA!

physical copies of my games becoming available via Indie Press Revolution, starting with NIGHTHAWKS!

more consistent game & system releases

seeing more of my work in some upcoming Evil Hat projects (look for me in the Girl by Moonlight stretch goal zines)

prints of "prayer to curse ron desantis", bunny girl osr posters, and perhaps shirts/hats/merch?

ttrpg workshops IRL in the Maryland area

and much much much much more!!

Now, here's the link to my Patreon before I forget: https://www.patreon.com/TitanRPG

I have an AWESOME founding patron bonus. There are 3 tiers of membership, and no matter which you choose to join today, you'll get a pre-release PDF of GOLDEN BEETLE PLAYGROUND, my Medabots-inspired TTRPG built on Caltrop Core EX.

This bonus is ONLY for people who join this month. After January, I'll take it down to work on the game further (and eventually do a full release later this year). 

For tiers 2 and 3, I'll be releasing one short RPG every single month. These games will remain Patreon exclusives until I can put proper polish on them (or the patrons vote to release their favorites).

There's a bunch more goodies and details on my actual Patreon page. Click that link to see!

Eventually, I'll be putting merch up on that page, so even if you can't support with a monthly pledge, you'll be seeing posters, shirts, hats, all that very soon!

These days, I'm on tumblr every so often, but no other social media. Patreon will be my dedicated page for updates, game mechanics, design discussions, everything! Even if you join at the $3/month tier, I want to provide a ton of value, starting with GOLDEN BEETLE PLAYGROUND!

Click here to see the three membership tiers and support a trans game designer today!

Thank you for your support over the past 3 years. I hope to remain worth of it for many more years to come.

All my love,

Lex Kim Bobrow

Publisher, Titanomachy RPG

P.S. Here's the link again. Take a moment to check out the page please, and if you can't contribute, please tell your friends! I've lost touch with so many people after leaving Twitter, so any help in getting the word out is 10000000% appreciated!!

P.P.S. If you could reblog this post ASAP, I'd really really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

By popular request, the Eat God Kickstarter now offers a full-colour softcover collecting all guest writer playsets whose stretch goals have been met. A new reward tier including everything that the limited edition hardcover tier does, plus the playset collection has been added; alternatively, if you'd prefer to keep your current reward tier (for example, because you qualify for the early access supporter discount), you can also add the playset collection to your existing pledge as an add-on – it works out the same either way.

At the time of this post, the collection will include the following playsets (refer to the campaign page's "Stretch Goals" section for details):

The Dazzling Below by @titanrpg

The Sockiathan by @ribstongrowback

The Eternal Exhibition by @austinramsaygames

A Confabulation of Wastrels by Zach Welhouse and Ashley Flanagan

Biting at the Ankles of Giants by @thydungeongal

This list – and thus, the book itself – will grow as additional stretch goals are met.

If anyone is curious about my specific brand of self-publishing of ttrpg's, feel free to AMA.

I've been doing this as a hobby since 2018 and probably do lots of things stupidly and inefficiently. but, i think i've learned some things along the way too.

one thing that I definitely encourage is involvement in local community. i've participated in and help organize lots of get-togethers and events in my area including playtesting, workshops, vending, tiny cons, and others. I've helped get locally designed games in local shops. online community is incredibly helpful too. I've made so many connections over the years. some with folks I've eventually met in person, and some I may never meet face to face. I've learned an incredible wealth of information from fellow designers.

the main thing I don't do, and that I cannot offer advice on, is crowdfunding. i do small print runs of my games and use any money I make to fund additional print runs when those sell out. Without crowdfunding, I've been lucky enough to have some of my games picked up by different shops.

I'm still a tiny small fish, all things considered. but i'm always happy to help others if i can.
