📌Hi! I'm Kaiya, a Chinese-diaspora game designer, worldbuilder, and roleplay theorist. I played Lilissen on Curse of Strahd: Twice Bitten and I've written several acclaimed indie TTRPGs.
See my full portfolio and sign up for my monthly mailing list at mirror-lock.com.
I just backed HEDGE - The Fey Are Coming, Only You Can Save the Last of Us on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/aco…
Now that I'm on the other side of a month of monitoring my Kickstarter, I'm getting number-go-up withdrawal symptoms. I guess I'll have to stopgap by obsessively checking to see if the number of backers with payment method errors has gone down.
Oof, this is a long one! I've written up a blog post about the lessons I've learned from conducting my very first crowdfunding campaign, including a bit of a post-mortem on where my backers came from.

A reminder that my main social interaction hub is now BlueSky; find me there at mirror-lock.bsky.social.
I'll still cross-post business announcements and updates here. If you want to hear important announcements with aesthetic pictures, though, my mailing list is the best source.
And with that, The Worldbuilder's Almanac is 384% funded! Here's what comes next:

Throw a bone or two in before Halloween, the Great Pumpkin demands it.
(I don’t shill for much, but this game has done so much for me—and that was before I started actually contributing to it! The Between is worth it.)
We're in the final hours of our @BackerKit crowdfunding campaign for The Between! This is the best price these books will ever be, and everyone who backs now gets access to all TWENTY stretch goals we've unlocked!

Utterly over the moon with the artwork @eshpur made for the Key of Creation! 🥰 The Worldbuilder's Almanac will feature this design on the main book as well as on stickers and enamel pins.

We are joined by TTRPG video essayist, designer, author, and general cool person Aaron Voigt!

Tune in then!
