Latest Updates from Our Project:

Vinyl Test Pressing - Isometric Blanks - Somninauts
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 09, 2021 at 03:08:31 PM

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update to let you know that I've heard from the good folks over at Kindercore Records and they have what they need to start the test pressing process! I've been informed that the sleeves are ready to go and that the test pressings will be making their way to me soon.  Once I get a chance to inspect the test presses, and presuming they pass muster, we can lock in a delivery timeframe for getting this record to your turn-table/game-table.


Meanwhile, other Fish in the Pot projects are humming along.  Today is the start of Zinequest and I've launched Isometric Blanks, a lo-fi, DIY zine of blank dungeon maps meant to be written in. Check it out here.


Also, yesterday I launched the basic rules for a brand new game, Somninauts.  I have a lot of ambition for Somninauts and these basic rules are just the beginning.  Check out the rules for free here

I'll post another update when I get the test press.

Until then, best health and happy gaming!

Digital EP... SOON...
about 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 25, 2021 at 02:14:17 PM

Hello all!  Hope you are staying safe and healthy out there in 2021.

Wanted to post a quick update to let you know that the work on Ancient Undead Spider Wizard is about 97% complete.  I need to finish the design of the tarot card handouts and that's pretty much it as far as production from me.  

I've approved proofs for the record's inner sleeve and outer cover. Kindercore Vinyl has freshly mastered tracks and the cutting process has begun.  I hope to receive my test pressings very soon.  I'll provide an update as soon as I get them.

acid lich completed the final four illustrations and each one is a thing of horrific beauty. 

I've put those illustrations, as well as all of the original illustrations, into a digital handout form and will include them in the Deluxe Digital EP when it releases.

Speaking of which...

Stay tuned. I will be sending out a link for the Deluxe Digital EP very soon.  In the mean time, let's take a look at exactly what you'll receive on release.

Deluxe Digital EP Main Folder

You will receive a link to the EP on Fish in the Pot itch [dot] io.  The download will be in a zip file.  Once you've unzipped the contents, you will see the above folders.  The pdf is a fully accurate digital recreation of the cover and inner sleeve.  The other folders contain everything a Game Master needs to efficiently prepare Ancient Undead Spider Wizard for online play.

Main Dungeon Folder

When you open the Main Dungeon folder, you will find each encounter in a separate folder.  In each folder is a txt file describing the encounter, digital art handouts for the encounter, and the background music for the encounter in mp3.

Music Folder

The Music folder contains the digital EP audio tracks in mp3.

Random Encounters Folder

And inside the Random Encounters folder, you will find a folder filled with all of the music for the random encounters in individual mp3 files (previously released as mixtapes), as well as a folder full of txt files of Random Encounter descriptions.   


Ultimately, you will find 13 mp3s (4 tracks on the EP, 12 tracks for the Random Encounters, and a bonus digital track), 18 txt files of descriptions, 10 art handouts, and the Ancient Undead Spider Wizard pdf. 


I will be working on finalizing the Deluxe Digital EP over the weekend and am looking forward to getting this to you very, very soon. 


Until next time, best health and happy gaming!

November Update: Mix Tape 2 - Tarot Handout Preview
over 3 years ago – Sat, Nov 28, 2020 at 03:34:49 PM

Hello all!

It's been 3 weeks since the conclusion of our Kickstarter campaign and I just wanted to jump on the project page to let you know that progress is being made on Ancient Undead Spider Wizard!

The outline and initial draft of the dungeon are complete.  I am beginning the process of merging the raw words into the dust jacket layout.  It is my goal to have the game to the editor in the first week of December, which means we are on track to hit our fulfillment goals!

I just released volume 2 of the Random Encounter Mix Tapes over on itch. Each of the game's random encounters has its own background music. The mp3s will be made available as part of the deluxe digital asset pack. But why wait? You can download volumes 1 and 2 of the Random Encounter Mix Tapes on itch today.  Volume 2 can be found here for free!

Speaking of the deluxe digital asset pack...

Check out this super sneak peek of a work in progress image for one of the tarot card handouts! acid_lich is an incredible talent and she is knocking it out of the park with these new illustrations.

Thanks again for all of your support.  Next update will reveal the color of the record!

Best health and happy gaming!
