Life Updates

I'm spending time with my mother and brothers this week

My brothers and I played a LOT of Cut the Deck yesterday! It's the first time someone has successfully ended me rightly with the End Them Rightly card! We all had a great time.

I had lunch and a round of Cut the Deck today with Jean-Luc! And he gave me a full-scale, 3D Printed Sword Of Up! I got some funny looks walking it home! Thank you!

Finished Bleach S3, watched a little bit of Jujutsu Kaisen S1, played a bit of Moonlighter

Product Updates

Thanks to everyone who pitched in to support a month of daily Stars episodes on Ko-Fi! Please enjoy them!

Webtoon is currently paying me less than usual - the Patron tournament made my upload schedule a bit chaotic, which makes traffic unsteady, so bulking out the Stars catalogue will really help in the future. Please encourage your pals to read Stars on Webtoon, it takes 30 minutes and it really helps keep the lights of the ship on.

Paid supporters can get (most of) the High Crystalian language here - enjoy!

Expect a big update on the Swords: Cut the Deck Kickstarter soon

In accordance with the philosophy that a successful artist needs to be creating $100 worth of value a year to 1000 dedicated fans, I have put together a Super Fan Mega Bundle - it is a high-res download of every Swords, Stars & Axes episode, plus lots lots more. That's less than 1 cent per comic, by the way! And it also has the next episode of Stars slightly early! Ooo!

Social Updates

Stars passed 18k on Webtoon - my legend continues! But it's back to #2 on the Canvas Top 30 Sci-Fi! Oh no!

BlueSky 23.4k > 24.6k
