GRANDMOTHERSHIP is coming

Preparing for Zine Month 2023

Hi everyone! The end of 2022 left me with almost no energy and thinking about my relationship with game design, which I want to nurture and protect. This a topic for another day, but to put it in a few words, I want to plan, take care of myself and my games and be more organized with my schedule. Here’s me hoping that 2023 brings some of that.

The good news is that GRANDMOTHERSHIP is coming! You can subscribe to get notified when the campaign is on here.

If you haven’t heard me shouting from the rooftops, GRANDMOTHERSHIP is my TTRPG about senior ladies in space. A game inspired by Honey Heist, Brindlewood Bay, and Mothership.

The other great news is that its part of Zine Month 2023, so it will go into crowdfunding this February! Another important fact is that it will be my first crowdfunding campaign. It will be on Crowdfundr, a new platform that can take projects from the Global South, since they work directly with PayPal.

I’ve always wanted to work with amazing artists from around the world, and with this project, if everything goes well, I’ll be able to do so. I’ll be sharing with you the people that will be working with me through the following newsletters, but here you can check out some of the art Lucas Rolim is putting together for the project. He’ll be in charge of all the interior art pieces.

Lucas Rolim is an RPG game designer, and author of games like Pacts and Blades and MiniBX. Active in the Brazilian OSR scene since 2018 and internationally since 2020. Wrote games and zines printed by indie publishers like Exalted Funeral, Soul Muppet Publishing, and Spear witch. As an illustrator, he released Last Oath, many authorial works, and a map for Bones Deep. You can check his games here.

As for another crucial visual characteristic of the game, Ewerton Lua is already working on the cover art. Here you can see the sketch for it. I’m so thrilled!

Ewerton is a Brazilian illustrator who loves watching movies and playing RPGs. His work is inspired by videogames and comic books, and can be found in books, zines and games. Make sure to check his portfolio.

And as if all this news wasn’t enough, this game will be printed! We’ll share more news about it later, but I’m super excited.

I’ll be sending regular updates now that this is happening. Thanks for all your support! If you are reading this online and haven’t subscribed yet, here you can do so.
