Table Cat Games

After literally YEARS of saving my publisher points on Drive Thru RPG I had enough to make it a deal of the day. The deal is going on right now (at the time of this writing) so if you'd like to save 60% off the game featuring semi truck driving monsters, don't wait. You can check it out here.

But anyway, yeah it's been roughly three years of accumilating points to get enough to get a slot in the deal of the day line (you earn points through sales). AND it took about 90 days for it to actually appear after I purchased the deal. So a whole lot of waiting for the big day!

Update: This post was making the rounds. I want to share that there were big updates after this post. In this post I go over upgrades to a second Spirit pack. And in this post I talk about a bunch of upgrades to the pack on the left here. I used to want a Ghostbusters proton pack, but they were so insanely expensive they were out of reach. Plus you kind of had to make your own.

Things have changed a lot in the last few years with options popping up ranging from about a hundred bucks to 500, when they had been more than a grand.

The pack on the right is from Spirit Halloween. That one was a pretty big breakthrough for getting packs out to the masses, even though it's only 80% the size of the original it still looks really cool If you do some work on it.

I spent some time modifying it. I haven't done as much as other people have, but it looks really good and regular people don't notice the size difference unless they're looking at them side by side.

Unmodified vs Modified

I didn't add sounds to it, but I did install a battery and a light kit:

I also took a toy and chopped it up and painted it to look like a better sized wand:

The other pack I have is made by Hasbro. It's modeled on the one seen in Afterlife, so it's dirtier and has some extra stuff on it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, but there's a couple of things I need to change. Primarily, switching the power from D cell batteries to a more modern rechargable lithium battery.

An incredible thing happened this week. I learned a book that I did layout on, Uncle Ernie's ARM Summer Catalog was nominated for an ENNIE in Best Monster or Adversary.

While I wasn't technically nominated, because I wasn't listed on the nominations page, I laid a the groundwork for a lot of the book. It was an honor and I began sharing the link for voting.

Shortly thereafter, my pal Emma @gothhoblin gave me a heads up that my studio Table Cat Games was nominated for a Fan Award for Best Publisher!

I had been completely unaware. I hadn't gotten an email or heads up. And it was in a category with a lot of publishers and I hadn't looked at it yet. But anway, it was super amazing to find out.

I couldn't have gotten here without the support of the ttrpg community and the freelancers who have worked on my projects. With this nomination I am super charged to keep going and making even more radical games.

If you vote in the ENNIEs, please consider Table Cat Games in Fan Award for Best Publisher. And also still vote for Uncle Ernie's in Best Monster. You can vote for the ENNIEs here.

Hey! It's the cover to an upcoming Street Wolves release. I'm going to package up some adventures that were exclusive to the Kickstarter and also add at least one extra.

Support this group of talented disabled creators! Being disabled brings a lot of extra expenses, and many of us have difficulties getting the support we need. AND we can be an awesome, creative bunch! So this jam was for us to make some amazing things and bundle them together for a good cause (us. It's us). Direct support for disabled creators without a charity as a middle man.

I’ve worked hard to run this, and am putting my heart into all these promotions. I’d love it if enough people decided this was worth it and helped all of us out.

The wait is over, Monster Truckers is here!

Hit the road as a semi truck driving monster. Experience thrills and chills on the open roads of the Worstlands in this easy to learn and quick to play tabletop rpg.

It's now on Backerkit! It's my first Backerkit campaign (3rd overall) and things are going well so far. Honestly though, I'm really hoping to get through the anxiety of "will it fund", so I can just get to making the game.
