Stout Stoat

Pinned Tweet! stoutstoat.carrd.co All socials inside, and some community resources too!

(Also, I made a plan to post on Twitter only to promote Scurry, then Carved in Stone when it debuts later this summer, and then to scrub this account save to sit and hold the handle. If you want up to date Stout Stoat news, follow me on Bluesky.)

Check out the full campaign, and see some delicious samples of the book over on BackerKit 🐁 stoutstoat.co.uk/scurry

Scurry is a one-shot TTRPG that demands quick thinking and quicker actions! Go on heists as crafty beasts through Scotland's undergrowth, sharing a single set of dice with the whole crew. youtu.be/xN8u7G2k6YQ?si…

EU STOUT STOAT FANS: From the 1st of December 2024, I won't be able to send orders into ANY European Union country, until further notice. This is because of new GPSR legislation. A fix will eventually come, but not in time for the holiday season!

I think this is the first piece of good news I've seen on twitter in the last fortnight

@honeyanddice Depends on level of experience and finish needed. $250 isn't a bad sum of money for an indie project; it'll be up to your artist to decide whether they take it on. Long deadlines, strong direction with supporting references and few revisions can help make this 'better value'

Is a starting rate for hiring an a*rtist for a singular piece of artwork for a project of $250 too low? It isn't a full page, it is just quarter-half page of artwork, and that is starting rate before tip and bonuses. Especially if you will have 2-4 artists?

Very much inspired by @BlackwellWriter 's and @hinokodo's, which are both thriving creative spaces and always look fun to be in

Thinking of starting a Stout Stoat discord server for sharing of project thoughts and progress. Something to keep the Social in my media, without the Heinous Wickedness of this platform 😤

One day I will have the right project and I will take this offer But UNTIL THEN someone pay Hodag to keep Daggin'

I'm at OH!CON today! Come say hi and chat about games :) I'm also on a panel at 11, and giving a talk about Pict stuff at 12ish

@LukeGearing Same energy

if you find me a weakened state you must not be afraid. grasp a rock or similar implement and cave in my skull. such a chance will not present itself twice.

Come meet me! Poke me with a stick! Next Saturday (12th October) I'll be at OH!CON over in Stornoway! I'll have a wee table display for different books, and I'll be part of a panel at the start of the day, and giving a talk on what goes into Pict-ish historical games :)

@will_jobst Nono that's how you get the good stuff! Yes there's spelling errors, but whose going to notice 'em? (Everyone will)

i just had to write directly into my layout app and it made my skin crawl

Writing huge books is so disorientating. Just got back with a mug of tea. Why was I editing the section on justice? Why do I have a bunch of tabs open about rope making? What's this lineage of Pictish kings open for? Why is there a post-it note with the word CAIT circled on it??

If it's not valuable, why are you stealing it?
