Yeah we can do that! I’ll pop some on today. 

Thank you. Culmination of 12 years at a d/Deaf charity and 5 years running DnD for teens. 

Not out of the box, but we are currently developing a solo ruleset for publication in Feb 2025. It will be entitled Tendrils. 

Hi, apologies for the late reply. Creeks will be available to purchase from the Indie Press Revolution store in late November. They deliver to Canada.

The Cryptid Creeks tabletop RPG is here!

After months of development, Cryptid Creeks is available for purchase, and just in time for Halloween! Cryptid Creeks is a cosy horror RPG featuring 300+ pages of beautiful full-colour art, with content including...

  • 6 Scout playbooks and rules for creating your own.
  • A comprehensive guide to running the game as Navigator. 
  • 8 Curses and rules for creating your own. 
  • "The Peddler's Revenge" full campaign.
  • Handouts for everything!

We've also included some complementary tools for actual play streamers and podcasters, including an overlay and ambient soundtrack

Nice one. Thanks for taking the time to reply. 

How were the jam writers compensated for their published entries? I’m thinking of running something similar and wanted an insight into the process.

Apologies, I can't find your email for some reason. Could you send it again to hatchlingdm@gmail.com when you get the chance?

No problem, I’ll send you a free key for the files here. Expect a response tonight. 

Would love to go, but I’m saving all my big trips abroad for next year. Will be GAMA, Essen and Big Bad Con. 

We’ll be sending a bunch of copies to Indie Press Revolution in July. That will be your best bet for picking up a copy. 

In March I will place the cards on our website for download. 

You can now order from our website… as of today coincidentally. www.hatchlingsgames.co.uk

community copies available! 

Absolutely. Head to our preorder page.

Oh thanks for letting me know. Just need to change the file name on itch

Indeed, we’re taking European orders currently through Backerkit at this link:

https://overisles.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

No, you get charged immediately. It doesn't work the same way as other crowdfunds that succeed or fail on a goal like Kickstarter. Regardless, we have enough funding to produce the cards we wanted, so the book and deck will be delivered complete.

Done! 50 copies available. 

Thanks Ben!

It'll be shipped from the UK by ShipQuest for backers here and in Europe.
Indie Press Revolution will handle US orders. 

We’ll be selling the physical copies from late August through our website in the UK and Indie Press Revolution in the US. Or you can still get everything here: https://overisles.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

We're looking into this right now, However, to maintain the quality and accessibility publishers overseas will need to take more steps than is typical for translations. We won't make deals unless they are willing to uphold certain requirements.

Yes, our BSL consultant is a Deaf sign language tutor. Glad you like the sign presentation. We’ve had some lovely feedback about the style and especially the prompts for movement. 

https://bardcommune.com/ provides a complete mentoring programme for anyone in the ttrpg industry. You can sign up for a free taster session.  

No the sign language isn’t mandatory and isn’t tied to any levelling or bonuses. We made it this way, as some people simply cannot use sign language. You could definitely hack it for FSL or other languages and we’re looking at licensing for other countries, but it needs to be done right with Deaf consultancy and a new artist. 

If your mom is an educator, she can receive a free PDF anyway. Email me at hatchlingdm@gmail.com  and I'll send you over a key for the download. :) 

You're more than welcome! Thank you for the lovely message and I hope the kids really enjoy the experience.

Hi yeah there are only a couple, but will be far more this year.

Please wait for the Overisles KS launching Feb 27th. You’ll be able to buy hardcovers of both games. 

It’s a sequel with new lore, mechanics and further sign language learning. 

Waiting on shipping from China. Will update here and on KS when we have dates. 

Thank you so much! You’re words are so encouraging.
