Help me welcome Soren to the art team as we've unlocked a stretch goal here at the end!  I am so glad to be able to bring them onto the team, and thank you all for the support!

I'll have another update tomorrow once final numbers are in with the plan for fulfillment/update cadance and next steps, and until then, HAPPY GAMING!

Final day! Back now, check out the poll, and here's to an awesome finale!

Today is the last day of the StoryGuider campaign!  As of posting, there's about 6 hours left to back, and we're less than $250 from our stretch goal - check it out now so you don't miss out!  The campaign ends at 4pm ET!



Our poll is also still live until the campaign ends, so get your votes in to help create the Library Hero story!  There's one option taking the lead, but it is also close enough to change by tonight.

Here's to a great finale, and thank you!
Steph, TTRPGkids


Poll results + new poll + final days for StoryGuider campaign!
6 months ago – Sun, Sep 28, 2025 at 06:47:36 AM

The results from the last StoryGuider poll are in, and... it was very close, but DRAGONS won!  The first book that Lucky the Library Cat will explore is going to be about dragons!

There's a new poll out now to help decide what the core goal/problem of the story will be (check it out at the bottom of the message)!



AND...  StoryGuider is in its final days!  If you haven't backed already, now's your chance to make sure you get your copies with the POD keys before the campaign ends.  Check it out here, and happy gaming!

Thank you, 
Steph (TTRPGkids)

New poll: Help us choose how the new StoryGuider adventure will go!
6 months ago – Thu, Sep 25, 2025 at 05:14:54 AM

In a crossover between my last campaign, Greeting Games, and this one, StoryGuider, I'm adding a whole new trilogy to the StoryGuider series as part of the 36 adventures!

This new triligoy is about a helpful library cat(aloger) who travels into magical books in order to repair them, help out various characters, and see what they can learn!

Because this is a new adventure, I'm looking for some audience input on where it should lead - check out the poll at the bottom of the message to vote on the theme for the first story that Lucky the Library Cat will dive into!

STORYGUIDER IS FUNDED!



As of posting this, StoryGuider hit 100% funded!  It's been a journey to get here, and thank you everyone for being excited about the project and your support!!  It's happening because of you all!

Featured on Shadomain

StoryGuider was featured on Shadomain this week!  Check out the article here for a Q&A about the work that went into StoryGuider, from reading up on kid lit to figuring out how to combine that with core TTRPG concepts, and about how TTRPGkids got it's start.  Many thanks to Jason from Shadomain for reaching out and highlighting the project!



Designing for Accessibility - webinar today hosted by ALA's Games & Gaming Roundtable

This morning, I'll be part of a panel hosted by The American Library association's Games & Gaming Roundtable about designing games for accessibilty!  This is an important topic for designers and also for those using TTRPGs so everyone can know what's available.  I'll be talking about some of the features I include in my games, including StoryGuider.  Join here through the ALA Games & Gaming Roundtable event page!

If you can't make it to the presentation (it is short notice), I'll be posting about the recording on the TTRPGkids site when it's available.


STRETCH GOALS!

Now that we're funded, we can start working toward stretch goal!
 


The first is an upgrade to the art for the Sandy the Dragon series with the goal being to hire artist, Soren Leigh, to add their flair to the project.




Thank you for checking out this update, and I'm going to keep working on this for everyone to see how much more we can add to the project through the stretch goals in the next week.  I'll have a new poll out for your all soon to help choose where some of our new stories go, and here's to an awesome final campaign week for StoryGuider!

Thank you, 
Steph
