[Newsblade] Many Qwests Ahead (Patreon)

[4 new Swords episodes]

Quest Sprout's big adventure is ending this week, strap in!

Speaking of Big Adventures, I have a new job! Please be proud of me.

Thank you to Joshua, Ethan, Cifer, Allan, Simon, Mai, Timothy, Valatara, George and Will for joining us on Patreon this week!

What's Going OnThis Tuesday I will be starting a new job helping Wellington based developer Big Adventure prepare for the launch of Dream Team Supreme! If you're a streamer, get in touch, I'd love to help you reach more people by playing the game.

Let's lean into those good vibes and make 2026 great!

After a relaxing vacation, our house had no hot water. Turns out the water cylinder cracked, causing a leak, which caused the wiring to get wet and blow a fuse. The whole thing is fixed replaced now but it was a whole day of people in my house and the very painful bill will come my way shortly... so I'm a bit exhausted being back in the city already.

Thank you to everyone who joined Patreon or pitched in in other ways. It's really great knowing that I have some support when things go sour - it means a lot to me. And I'm going to make it up to you with more nice things happening to characters who deserve it.

PS. Speaking of things going sour, TheImmortalThinkTank has promised to draw a Zest Sprout mini-arc if I get to 50% of my Ko-Fi goal too!

I have a bunch of messages to get on top of. I've just reduced my email inbox from 450 to 25 this week and my job will require me to have a 4th(!) email address, so taking care of more loose threads (now that the Swor'nament has wrapped) is high on my agenda.
