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,

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!

At the time of writing this, StoryGuider is less than $150 away from it's goal with just over a week to go!  I'm excited to see it closing in, and I'm hoping it hits the mark in the next couple days so we can look at maybe unlocking that first stretch goal still!

I'm teaming up with the folks from Grafbound Press to shoutout each other's projects!  I've played and reviewed works from Graftbound before, and I'm very excited to check this new one out.  Glatisant is currently funding on Kickstarter, and you should go check it out as well:



Experience a lifelong quest through Arthurian myth as the heroic Knight Errant and the Questing Beast they pursue. The Knight must seek the Beast, and the Beast must make the Knight worthy of their legend.

What is Glatisant?
Glatisant is a GM-less, asymmetrical TTRPG for two players using the Carta system. Discover a world of high adventure as you cross a tableau of playing cards, encountering people and places from Arthurian myth with each card you turn over. The game can be played in 45 minutes or a few hours, depending on the depth of your journaling.

Glatisant Features:

Check out the project here on Kickstarter!

Jumping back over to StoryGuider, one of the game's core features is how it can be used for many different group sizes, from 1-1 play that may suit use at home to large group play, that would work for school, daycare, or library programs!  And the original release for this series has also been used in both settings/play styles already with success!   



There's recommendations for both styles of use in the books' forwards, along with bonus activities that can be used to supplement each (like adding music or crafting) so you can create tales that fit your player or group and extend the play, if you want more.

Check out StoryGuider here, please help share the project so we can both fund and improve the series, and thank you for your support of this work!

Many thanks, 
Steph Campbell

88% funded, and closing in on the goal!

StoryGuider is at 88% funded and slowly but steadily making it's way to the goal line!   

The crowd has also voted on what the 100% funded bonus would be, and you collectively chose the library donation! 

This means that, when the project is fulfilled and International Games Month 2026 hits, I'll add an extra full set of StoryGuider (all 3 BIG BOOKS) to the annual TTRPGkids library donation.  Thank you for opting to share these stories with others, and, once funded, I'll have some new polls and goals like this for everyone to check out.

Review from The Kid's Table D&D

The Kid's Table D&D, an actual play D&D podcast including kids (and lots of fun shenanigans) in their gameplay had some kind words to share from when they checked out StoryGuider! 



They highlighted how it helps with practicing developmental skills for kids and can be a great tool for learning.

Thank you to The Kid's Table, and please go check out their show if you're interested in seeing what it's like running a TTRPG with both kids and grown ups in the party.

Free activity examples

StoryGuider features hands-on activities and interaction with the material during the storytelling process, not just in making decisions for the character in the story.  There's activity sheets included as well!  These activities focus on a combination of social-emotional, problem-solving/logic, sensory, and motor skills practice while giving fun "wiggle breaks" throughout the adventures.

There's a free downloadable compilation of some of the activities included in the original StoryGuider release on my itchio page here.  Just please note that this free download is with the original art (when it was just me), so the final versions will have upgraded art (which is what this project is funding, and there's an example of one upgrade in the graphic below). 



I hope this helps give a better idea of what's all in the StoryGuider tales, and, as always, your continued support with funding and sharing the project greatly helps this to become a reality.  Many thanks, and happy gaming!

Thank you, 
Steph
