You got all the good ones!

It's def a 3p or less kinda game. Turns can take quite awhile.

Ohh good advice I'll look into that!

Oh geez. Time to rename is A_0pondus

We'll get there. I just need to get this brain fog fixed. make some moving images, and get the word out to more folks. Looking at other campaigns, it does seem like a tough time of year. and tougher for folks not playing the marketing game well. Weight of the pondus world rests in my hands.

$20k is a real goal. I can figure out the long end fine if we can reach that. $30k would get me out of debt from the last campaign. (tariffs and international shipping... woof) $50k would keep things calm til the next thing. mixing creativity and money, not ideal y'all. necessary bullet in 2026.

Bluesky does a great job of making it feel like i'm connecting with real people. And I really enjoy that. The creative side of me likes that. I don't feel lost in an endless sea like on instagram. But the part of me that wants to make real things, really wishes I could set aside my beef with zuck.

one day BGG will approve the pondus game page. I just know it. I've been terribly sick, terrible timing. But plan is to film a little video today. gotta figure out meta ads (minus $14). get the campaign some reach. I'm afraid all my attention on bluesky is funneling me. Gotta be in more places.

I tried to make solo mode in PONDUS (10/13 on KS!) thoughtless, but predictable (no card draw!) Similar to Spirit Island (a fantastic game), the enemy gets a turn at the end of each round. It has a small action grid, you push a cube in the direction shown on its discard pile. You can plan around it.

Seriously! I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with this. It's nothing like Nathan for you.

Longer than the Odyssey!

and it's worth the 3 hours i think!

I saw everything!

Congrats!! 🎉♥️

So, why are y’all sleeping on this?

Hopefully we can get it made. I'm not sure if this will connect with folks who approach the medium as 'just a game'. but for everyone else.. the immense burden the wizard takes on... I don't think your replays will feel the same once you know. And I think it's cool a game can make me feel this way.
