It’s May.
I don’t know what else to say by way of introduction here. I really just want to breeze in, drop a content calendar, announce a Live Chat, and then vanish like a fart in the wind, but after last month’s big speech about The April Lynchpin, I feel like some follow-up’s in order.
But forgive me if I just blast through it and the rest of this update and get back to work.
Not Quite A Post-Lynchpin World
April went okay. Not great, as some of you noticed, but not terrible either. I’m not doomed, but I am not yet saved either. The month ended badly on the personal front with some family stuff pulling me out of town. So it’s going to be another month of digging as hard as I can to get myself out of this hole. But the hole ain’t as deep as it was by a long shot so, hey, progress.
I do have a boon in May, though. It’s one of those delightful five Tuesday months. Which is why you’re reading this today and you’ll still get an article every upcoming Tuesday in May. That helps.
Which brings me to…

Slapdash Preview Stuff
Frienemy Tier Supporters on Subscribestar and Patreon will start receiving their first glimpses of the Slapdash Tabletop Roleplaying Game System this month. You will be contacted on your support platform of choice in the next few days with some instructions about where and how to access these previews and how to join the Club Slapdash channel in The Angry Discord server.
Keep an eye on your support platform of choice.
The stuff you’ll see this month will be extremely preliminary previews and teases. There’s nothing remotely playable — or playtestable — yet as I’m just wrapping the alpha test phase in the coming weeks. But I really want to keep all y’all in the loop as things develop. And I am planning a Live Chat event later this month to discuss the alpha test.
Just please don’t hound me asking me for playable content or a place in the playtest. Until I decide I have something to distribute to you all, participation in playtesting and feedback is by invitation only. Thank you.
