Happy #AudioDramaSunday wanderers! Looking for a show to fill the void now that the Fringes is over? Well, look no further as today we're shouting out some excellent shows to fall in love with now that our show has concluded! Let's get started!

Starting things off with @souloperatorpod which was created by our very own Marigold, @totcoc0a ! Soul Operator is horror and mystery and ttrpg inspire amazingness. Everything Tot has done with this show sings in the best of ways and @strautmaskreplica's editing is divine

@grottopod is liminal horror about grief and caving with original music and cover songs in each episode and it's absolutely fantastic. Our very own @taytayheyhey is one of the main characters and does amazing work! @athansmusic has ripped my heart out and honestly? Worth it.

@woebegonepod starts as a fictional game and becomes time travel, murder, and cowboys. It also has amazing original music its episodes and while most of it has been just Dylan's voice acting, the VAs he has in the later seasons are wonderful. This show defies genre and I love it

@tellnotalespod has ghosts! And grief! And convoluted science about ghosts and grief! It is the kindest show about ghosts you will ever encounter and has made me cry so much. Leon Egan poured his whole heart into this show and it shows in every facet of it

Would this really be a recommendation list from me if I didn't mention @ethicstownpod ? Imagine if moral quandries carried real world weight and then turn that guilt up to 11 and you have Ethics Town. I adore this show and everything that it has become and I cannot WAIT for S3

It also wouldn't be me without mentioning The Technomancy Project which is another genre mashup in the best of ways it's got horror it's got sci fi it's got magic it's made me cry it's great!

@thekilda is part of the reason that the Fringes happened at all. Seeing this dark fantasy cult stuff podcast from the ground up inspired me to finish writing the Fringes and I'm eternally grateful. It also introduced me to Michelle Kelly's work and then she became Alexandria!

@doyoucopypod is another show about grief (why do I love so many shows about grief?) with horror and fantasy elements and it squeezes my heart in my chest. @delaylays has created one of my favorite series of all time with this show and I know s3 will destroy me

@allatseapod is horror-ish microfiction about being stranded- you guessed it- at sea. Noah Bell's voice acting and writing are both phenomenal and i am desperate to find out how Feb got themself into this mess they're in

@audistorium is an anthology which runs all over the genre-sphere and has some of the best writing and sound design I've ever heard. It's got an episode for every kind of listener and Landon Lemon Whisnant does excellent voice work in it!

@thenightpost has cozy horror vibes and also respect the post office which is something we should all do more. The magic in this world is so intriguing and the characters are so engaging and all of the work in it is wonderful I cannot recommend it more

@hinaypod also falls into cozy horror for me but more along the lines of "Motzie Dapul has a very soothing and cozy voice and OPE NOPE THERES THE HORRORS!" Im very early on still but the weaving of magic and folklore and Filipino culture is fantastic (Also they're crowdfunding for season 3 on ko-fi and you wanna back it soooo bad https://ko-fi.com/hinaypod/goal?g=34)

And finally (for this post at least) we have @camlannpod which is the most hopeful post apocalypse show I've ever encountered. It has Arthurian legends, folklore, mythology, beautiful music, brilliant performances, excellent writing, and Paul Warren, what more could you want?

If you're looking for more from me to fill the void, then you're in luck as @forgedbondspod starts on the 18th!! If you wanna get access to that even sooner, it will be going like for crowdfunder backers and patrons over at patreon.com/pinetreepods on the 14th!

Work and working on Forged Bonds has kept me busy so I haven't had as much podcast listening time but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of listening and Audio Drama Sunday posting again soon!!

do you have any games with a sci-fi fantasy setting that are adventuring/exploration focused, similar to numenera or wildsea? the flexibility to play more or less mature games, lots of character creation options, and a solid combat system would be a bonus

THEME: Exploration

God I wish I could recommend As the Sun Forever Sets yet but it’s still in development. It’s a game inspired by The War of the Worlds, and is a Forged in the Dark hex crawl. The creator is partnering with Evil Hat so you’ll want to keep an eye out for when they start crowdfunding it.

If you’re interested in games like The Wildsea, I’d also recommend checking out the Wildsea Discord, where there are plenty of games in the works using the Wild Words engine. I don't think much there has reached playtest levels yet, but there's a lot of game-things that look very interesting.

Anyways, let’s see what else is out there.

Dreams and Machines (Players Guide) (Game-Master's Guide), by Modiphius.

Dreams and Machines is a brand new RPG setting where people come together to rebuild their world following a catastrophic war. You will venture into a world of mystery and adventure, a world where slumbering mechs dot the landscape and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise. Take on the role of one of the new tribes of humanity, an Archivist, Dreamer, Everan, River, or Spear, and forge a path for yourself and your people.

The war against the machines was 200 years ago, but many threats from that era abound, along with others, like raiding parties of Thralls from the deep ruins, that have arisen in the intervening years. The machines are dormant, but they sometimes awake, causing death and destruction until they are stopped. Hideous, mutated, creatures infest the landscape, vicious byproducts of the war. Ghostly nanograms lurk in the ruins promising knowledge or luring the unwary to their deaths. Yet against all this, humanity is rebuilding. People live full, happy lives despite the threats that assail them. Cooperation and mutual aid are everywhere, humans coming together to build something new amid the ruins of the past.

If you are a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn, this game was made for you. While it’s not taking place within the official licensed setting, the inspiration is visible all over this game. The game uses the 2d20 mechanic found among many of Modiphhius’ well-known titles, tailored for the large range of movement and large-scale conflict expected in a game like HZD. Characters are composed of an origin, archetype, temperament and bond, and refer to attributes and skills when determining whether or not the succeed. Some rolls have a difficulty determined by truths attached to locations, scenes, or equipment. Others are contests, and the outcomes are determined by the results from each opponent. These pieces point towards a complex ttrpg that has plenty of potential both for exploration and combat.

If you don’t want to get the Players Handbook and the GM’s Handbook without a bit of a first taste, you can check out the free Quickstart!

Between Clouds, by Andi Licht.

Between Clouds is a colorful, biopunk, tabletop RPG about a family of misfits navigating the open skies atop their beloved flying beast. Life among the clouds revolves around the Kirin, oversized animals that possess volatile genetics and the gift of flight. Across the skies, floating vessels and cities are held aloft by the animated remains of hunted Kirin, whose beating hearts defy gravity itself. Commoners are wary of becoming abducted or eaten by these creatures, while propaganda and folklore only stoke their fears. With an uninhabitable surface below, humanity must learn to coexist with the flora and fauna of their airborne realm or perish.

In Between Clouds players assume the role of Symbiotes, rare outcasts who have formed unbreakable bonds with a Kirin. It is not an easy choice to join forces with such a reviled creature. Those who crave power and a comfortable life seek to hunt the Kirin, and the Symbiotes with them if necessary. Few are ever approached by the flying beasts, and fewer still head the call. Those who do lead nomadic lives. They travel across Empyrea atop their airborne companions, making allies and enemies along the way, all while striving to help those in need and protect the wild Kirin that they encounter.

This game looks so pretty. The world looks very unique, with larger-than-life creatures called Kirin and a number of isolated biomes accessible only through riding on their backs. While the system uses the Year Zero engine, the creator also claims inspiration from Belonging Outside Belonging and Forged in the Dark games, so I’m expecting a complicated world with a lot of narrative prompts to drive the story forward.

Electric Bastionland, by Chris McDowell.

Bastion - The Electric Hub of Mankind. The only city that matters.

In Deep Country, the land stretches forever. The long shadow of our embarrassing past. Villages rot away, trees don’t bother to flower anymore, and the potato is eaten cold from the ground. Things were better before. Better before Bastion. In the Underground are impossible tunnels beneath time and space. Devious machines release their creations into the corridors. All while the twisting network grows and touches everything. Connects everything. You can get anywhere, but there’s always a challenge.

You have a failed career and a colossal debt. Treasure is your only option. A spark of hope in Electric Bastionland.

Electric Bastionland is a roleplaying game written by Chris McDowall, author of the critically-acclaimed Into The Odd. It uses and expands upon the systems developed in Into The Odd, resulting in a rules-set that’s easy to run as a Referee and even easier to play. It’s not a sourcebook or an expansion - it’s a standalone journey into an unknowable world.

If you like OSR games this might be a game for you. Bastion is such a unique city that begs you to explore it. Your characters start as people who have failed in another career before, which is an interesting premise to give you at the beginning of the game. Treasure hunting was nobody’s first option, so your entire crew already has something in common. This feels like a game where survival is difficult, and everyone is trying to get themselves out of a rough place to a slightly less rough place. If you want a fantastic setting that might beat you up a little bit, I recommend Electric Bastionland.

Odyssey Aquatica, by Old Dog Games.

The year is 1960 and you are an Oceanographic Adventurer, a brave or foolhardy soul who goes to the most remote seas and the deepest ocean trenches to conduct groundbreaking research, help those in peril, document the wonders you discover — and bask in the glory. You will chart your character’s life work, from their first expeditions to their last, and record memoirs of the years lived in-between.

ODYSSEY AQUATICA adapts the fast and flexible PARAGON system to a world of 20th century oceanographic adventure inspired by The Life Aquatic, Subnautica, and the life and times of Jacques Cousteau.

I’ve talked before about how AGON is a great tool for exploration games by providing you with a new way to journey, and plenty of the supplements for this system confirm my theory. Odyssey Aquatica keeps the exploration at sea, but brings it into the modern day, adding memoir rules that expand the game’s timeline to cover your characters’ careers. It’s also beautifully laid out, with a stunning boat sheet to help you keep all of your tools and equipment organized. If you like PARAGON games, you’ll like Odyssey Aquatica.

Bug World, by Alfie.

maybe the apocalypse could have been averted, but it wasn’t, and here we are, in a brand new world. this isn’t your cold, nuclear winter, sparse and dead kind of post-apocalypse. the end sent the world on a new course, brimming with life - just not quite as much human life as before. ok, barely any. in the super oxygen-rich atmosphere of the earth today, insect life has thrived.

it only took a few decades for bugs to reach incredible sizes, and now, about a century-and-a-half after the disaster, gargantuan insects are a normal sight. from a ladybug the size of a dog, to millipedes that might as well be trains, to horned beetles with skeletons big enough to use as shelter. bugs are huge and they are everywhere. the remaining humans have domesticated some, trained others, made wary peace with some intelligent groups, and carved themselves out sections of the world to live.

BUG WORLD is a Powered by the Apocalypse TTRPG where players navigate this post-apocalyptic jungle world, with all its scavenger towns, junk economies, and incredibly huge bugs. playbooks include more classic TTRPG options alongside bug wranglers and jockeys, rock collector archaeologists, and mob bosses.

Currently a work in progress, this game is all about exploration and survival. It uses a PbtA ruleset with moves like deal damage and survive harm for combat, and playbooks that specialize in it, like the Brutalizer and the Exoskeleton. As a post-apocalypse game I think it has plenty of opportunity for death and danger, and like plenty of PbtA games, the setting is baked into the character options more than anything else. I like the premise of this game and I think it holds a lot of promise, even if your play group has to build a lot of the setting themselves.

Nibiru, by Araukana Media.

Nibiru is a science fiction tabletop roleplaying game, set in a massive space station in a neighboring solar system. Players take on the role of Vagabonds; people who woke up in the space station with no memories of their past.

Nibiru tackles themes of memory, nature and artificiality through simple mechanics, evocative art and immersive worldbuilding.

This feels like such a unique game to me. Nibiru has a character creation system that you engage with during the entirety of your campaign experience, as your characters are uncovering more of their backstory as they play. You will fill in pieces of your memory as your character tries to do new things, and each new experience has the potential to cement a part of your character’s personality. The world itself is also begging to be explored: the Skyless World is a monstrous space station with an unknown purpose. Each choice your characters make will draw them deeper into the world, and have ripple effects on the world around them.

If you want a unique method of character generation, and a truly breathtaking reading experience, I recommend Nbiru.

Oh Gosh I've Released A Lot Of Games This Year & Other Thoughts by Taylor Navarro

We're just over half way through February and I've released two new games, "re-released" a game, and I've been actively promoting my Kickstarter for about a week now. That's a lot of work! So let's elevator pitch my TTRPGs because I'm very proud of them all :D

Chefs de Partie

Need a breather from your RPG campaign? Make your characters cook together using this cosy one page minigame! (Examples of how to integrate with other TTRPGs included). Grab it on DriveThruRPG for $4.95 (options for 50% and 100% off available).

Constellation Crafting: Chaos Mode

Someone can't make it to session? Doing some worldbuilding? Want an RP warm up? Make your own zodiac in less than 15 minutes in this chaotic one-page dice-rolling game for 1-9 players! Grab it on itch.io here for $2 (free community copies available).

Dice of Life

This one-page TTRPG is an emotionally heavy exploration of parenthood, isolation, and the crushing, repetitive nature of too many pulls on your attention. Get it for Pay What You Want on itch.io.

Not Yet

Not Yet is a romantic duet TTRPG based on the "just missed them" and "right person, wrong time" tropes where you and your partner attempt to defy the odds to meet one another. This will be my first ever Kickstarter (and game with physical copies!) so if you liked the yellow umbrella saga of How I Met Your Mother, please sign up to the pre-launch page so you're notified when crowdfunding goes live!

International Podcast Day!

I'm a little late, but today was busy with work and writing. So for podcast day here's my list of podcast recommendations (along with tumblr links if they have them so you can follow):

@slowly-unspooling:

(I am not above promoing my own show)

Description:

Kai will have to battle with themself and their family to unspool the mystery that has decided to involve them.

length: 10 episodes so far season 2 starting next week

Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality

(follow the creator for this and next @dom-guilfoyle

Description:

Hello, and welcome to the Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality. The Audio Tour Guide will be your window into the history of the museum and its exhibits today.

Please note, that if you notice your version of the Audio Tour Guide behaving oddly, kindly ensure that you dispose of your Audio Device in the nearest incinerator at the earliest convenience.

Personal Review: This story about finding your place in a world, is one of the best I have ever listened to or read. The narratives are weaved perfectly together and I will protect Guide with my life. Stay safe out there.

Length: 79 episodes, completed

Tales of the Low City

Description:

Deep beneath the soil of a dead world, there is life.

Tales From The Low City is a collection of tales from a strange, bleak, and beautiful world where all creatures great and small, ambitious and content, bipedal and tripedal and quadrupedal must come together and make something like "civilisation".

Personal Review: I just started this one after being on the patreon for a while, and I love it. The stories are so well written and as I wrote in an episode review: Dom's main talent has always laid in their ability to tell a story that everyone can relate to, but is more than a simple "i can relate" to some. This episode does just that.

Length: 10, incomplete

The Magnus Archives

Description: “Make your statement, face your fear.” A weekly horror fiction podcast examining what lurks in the archives of the Magnus Institute, an organisation dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird. Join Jonathan Sims as he explores the archive, but be warned, as he looks into its depths something starts to look back…

Personal Review: Honestly, i don't think I ever sat down to review this one, its so good. Jonathan Sims is one of my favorite authors and while each episode may not be your cup of tea, the whole show has something for everything.

Length: 200 episodes, complete

Liminal Apocalypse

Description: It's the end of the world... Or is it? Five people retreat into an underground doomsday bunker fearing nuclear fallout, and when they get there they start receiving radio transmissions from the outside. But the information they're receiving, just doesn't quite add up.

Personal Review: Short and heart wrenching, Liminal Apocalypse delivers a tale of hope and love defying odds no matter the outcome.

Length: 3 episodes, complete

@wanderersjournalpod

Description: Wanderer’s Journal is a fantasy fiction podcast about Marigold and Pluto, two people from different backgrounds, and their unlikely friendship formed through a magical journal that links them. Each of them finds a journal, learns that their voice is recorded into it, and can be both read and played back to the other. Unbeknownst to them, they become a part of an ancient mystery, and see the world from new angles.

Personal Review: Marigold and Pluto do not fail to entertain, the two of them, unlikely friends in different but similar situations is everything.

Length: 10 episodes, crowdfunding for s2 right now, find a link on their tumblr

Old Gods of Appalachia

Description: In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

Personal Review: The storylines weave together wonderfully and manage to, in a story about creatures and those more than human, touch on the human story.

Length: 70 episodes, New season 10/31/2024

The Sheridan Tapes

Description: In 2018, famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes.

Personal Review: I haven't completed this one, but so far I love the story. Just when you think you have it figured out, no you don't.

Length: ~100 episodes (not entirely sure my rss feed won't show me), completed

@twigsandhearts

Description: A book that ties many together. Who picks up a copy? What powers do they serve? Between missing people and people missing, who will you trust? Twigs and Hearts Open at your own risk.

Personal Review: Each episode made me fall in love more. I am on team angel forever and always. (I have a problem). The story is told in such an interesting format that pleases my soul.

Length: 8 episodes so far, s2 tba

#These are just the top of my list #I have so many more I love but this is getting so long already #if you ask me for specific genres I will dig through my list for recommendations for you #my inbox is open #podcast #audiodrama #slowlyunspooling #audio drama #internation podcast day #podcast day #happy podcast day

Tomb Raider: Shadows of Truth

Explore hidden tombs and uncover powerful secrets! Defy danger as you race to discover forgotten artifacts and prevent nefarious forces from exploiting them!

Mystery awaits, and sometimes, the answers we seek can only be found in shadow…

In this officially licensed tabletop RPG you play members of the Truth Seekers: contemporaries of Lara Croft who strive to reveal long-hidden knowledge and thwart those who would steal and exploit artifacts for their own gains. It is a game of action, exploration, and self-discovery. Face perilous challenges and tough choices as you learn what it takes to be a hero.

Tomb Raider: Shadows of Truth requires 3-6 players, pencils, paper, the rulebook, and at least six 6-sided dice in order to play.

Your group will collectively create their Team using one of the Team Playbooks and then build individual Team members choosing from the Crafter, Scholar, Hunter, Companion, Legacy, Changed, and Reclaimer. One player, the Keeper of Truths, describes the dynamic and compelling world around the Team as they all make the connections which bring the adventure to life.

Collect Truths and draw upon your Maps, Aid, and Lore to boost your rolls as you race to enter the Final Tomb!

The Truth is hidden. The Truth is dangerous. And in the end, the power of Truth is what we make it.

Based on the hit franchise from Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider: Shadows of Truth will be a 8.5 x 11 full-color hardcover containing rules, advice, and adventures for both Seekers and Keepers alike. Currently under development in-house at Evil Hat, a public playtest will launch soon and crowdfunding in service of its production is expected in 2025.

To stay tuned to further announcements about the game, including the upcoming playtest, make sure to join the Society of Raiders on the official franchise website here.

Uma oferta de token geralmente é uma oportunidade emocionante para investidores no ecossistema de criptomoedas. A chance de comprar um token pelo seu preço de lançamento pode ser extremamente gratificante. No entanto, olhando para a febre das ICOs (Ofertas Iniciais de Moedas) em 2017 no Ethereum (ETH), nem tudo foi totalmente positivo. Scams e fraudes foram generalizados, e os investidores muitas vezes sofreram grandes perdas. Desde então, a comunidade cripto desenvolveu métodos alternativos de oferta de tokens, incluindo a Oferta Inicial em uma Exchange (IEO), Oferta Inicial em uma Exchange Descentralizada (IDO) e Oferta de Token de Segurança (STO), entre outros. As IDOs se tornaram uma escolha popular, mas como elas diferem de uma ICO, e é mais seguro para os investidores usá-las? O que é uma oferta de token? Uma oferta de token é um método de captação de recursos em que um projeto ou startup disponibiliza uma nova criptomoeda para venda. Os métodos de crowdfunding podem variar, como usar uma plataforma centralizada de exchange de criptomoedas para gerenciar o processo (IEO), trabalhar com um regulador financeiro local (STO) ou simplesmente fazer por conta própria (ICO). Alguns investidores compram as moedas por sua utilidade, enquanto outros o fazem por especulação. Por exemplo, você pode usar a moeda para farming, staking em um mecanismo de governança ou pagar taxas de transação. Como funciona um IDO? Um IDO utiliza uma exchange descentralizada (DEX) para facilitar a venda de tokens. Um projeto de criptomoeda fornece seus tokens para a DEX, os usuários comprometem seus fundos por meio da plataforma e a DEX conclui a distribuição e transferência final. Esses processos são automatizados e ocorrem por meio de contratos inteligentes na blockchain. As regras e estágios de um IDO dependem da DEX que o administra, mas existem alguns métodos comuns: Após um processo de seleção, um projeto é aceito para realizar um IDO em uma DEX. Eles oferecem um suprimento de tokens por um preço fixo, e os usuários bloqueiam seus fundos em troca desses tokens. Os investidores receberão os tokens durante o evento de geração de tokens (TGE) posteriormente. Geralmente, há uma lista de investidores privilegiados. Você pode ter que completar tarefas de marketing para entrar na lista ou simplesmente fornecer o endereço da sua carteira. Parte dos fundos arrecadados é usada para criar um pool de liquidez com o token do projeto. O restante dos fundos é dado à equipe. Os investidores podem, então, negociar o token após o TGE. Normalmente, a liquidez fornecida é bloqueada por um determinado período. No TGE, os tokens são transferidos para o usuário, e o pool de liquidez é aberto para negociação. Qual é o futuro do modelo IDO? Embora o modelo acima seja um IDO típico, as ofertas de tokens estão sempre mudando. Por exemplo, também temos o modelo de Oferta Inicial de Farm (IFO), que está se tornando cada vez mais popular. É difícil dizer se pode ser chamado de um IDO tradicional, mas depende dos mesmos conceitos principais: pools de liquidez e exchanges descentralizadas. Em vez de bloquear diretamente seus tokens, os investidores devem primeiro fazer staking em um pool de Finanças Descentralizadas (DeFi) para ganhar tokens de LP. Por exemplo, um projeto que deseja vender seu token por BNB em um IFO no PancakeSwap exigirá que os investidores façam staking de BNB e CAKE no pool BNB-CAKE. Os tokens LP BNB-CAKE são então bloqueados para os novos tokens, e o projeto recebe o BNB enquanto o CAKE é queimado. A quantidade de tokens que você recebe dependerá do número de participantes na venda, e quaisquer fundos excedentes investidos serão devolvidos a você. Pode até haver medidas para tornar mais justo que pequenos investidores obtenham uma parcela da IDO, como as opções de Venda Básica e Venda Ilimitada no IFO do PancakeSwap. Outra possível mudança nas IDOs pode ser a exigência de processos de Conheça Seu Cliente (KYC) e Prevenção à Lavagem de Dinheiro (

AML). Reguladores financeiros em todo o mundo estão cada vez mais interessados no DeFi e em seu status regulatório. KYC e AML já são padrão para exchanges centralizadas, e as DEXs também podem estar sujeitas às mesmas regras no futuro. Quais são as vantagens de um IDO? Ao longo do tempo, as ofertas de tokens se tornaram em sua maioria mais justas e seguras para os investidores. As IDOs têm algumas vantagens distintas que apoiam isso: Você não precisa lidar diretamente com um projeto e confiar em seus contratos inteligentes. Uma plataforma de IDO confiável terá diversas vendas bem-sucedidas concluídas. Se os contratos inteligentes forem os mesmos, você pode confiar na oferta. Liquidez imediata fornecida após a venda. As IDOs bloquearão parte dos fundos arrecadados em pools de liquidez para criar um mercado líquido após a venda. Isso ajuda a reduzir o slippage e a volatilidade. Não são necessários cadastros. Você só precisa de uma carteira e fundos para participar da venda, e detalhes pessoais não são necessários. Isso torna aberto a todos os tipos de usuários. No entanto, a falta de processos KYC ou AML também pode ser vista como uma desvantagem (mais sobre isso abaixo). As IDOs são acessíveis e acessíveis para projetos. É geralmente mais fácil e mais barato para um projeto pequeno e menos conhecido lançar seu token por meio de uma DEX do que uma exchange centralizada grande. As IDOs frequentemente têm medidas contra baleias, o que significa que nenhum investidor individual pode comprar um grande número de tokens. Quais são as desvantagens de um IDO? Algumas das vantagens da IDO também trazem algumas de suas desvantagens. Esses problemas decorrem principalmente dos aspectos descentralizados e anônimos de um IDO. Sem KYC ou AML. Investidores e projetos estão protegidos quando verificações adequadas são concluídas. Essas medidas ajudam a evitar a lavagem de fundos ilegais e a evasão de sanções econômicas. Por exemplo, pode não ser legal participar de IDOs em certos países se o token for considerado um título. Menos due diligence de projetos. É muito mais fácil para um projeto sem reputação distribuir seu token por meio de um IDO do que por meio de um IEO em uma exchange grande e regulada. Qual é a diferença entre um IDO, IEO e ICO? Os métodos usados em uma ICO, IDO e IEO são bastante diferentes, embora os resultados sejam principalmente os mesmos. Aqui está uma visão geral rápida das principais diferenças: IDO IEO ICO Vetagem do projeto DEX avalia o projeto CEX avalia o projeto Captação de recursos DEX lida com os fundos dos investidores CEX lida com os fundos dos investidores Contratos inteligentes DEX cria e executa os contratos inteligentes CEX cria e executa os contratos inteligentes Listagem de tokens Pools de liquidez abrem na DEX Exchange lista o token KYC/AML Não Sim Onde posso encontrar IDOs? O primeiro lugar para encontrar um IDO é no próprio projeto. Envolvendo-se com a comunidade do projeto e seguindo seus canais de mídia social é uma boa maneira de começar. Você também pode verificar DEXs como PancakeSwap ou DODO para ver a lista de próximos IDOs. Se você deseja ter uma visão geral de todos os IDOs futuros, a CoinMarketCap tem uma lista de ofertas de tokens disponíveis para visualização. Nem todas essas serão IDOs, mas a CoinMarketCap rotula claramente quais vendas são. Como participar de um IDO? Para participar de um IDO, você precisará de uma carteira de criptomoedas que possa se conectar a DApps como MetaMask ou Binance Chain Wallet. Você também precisará de algumas criptomoedas para comprar os tokens e pagar as taxas de transação. A criptomoeda exata que você precisará dependerá da venda e até mesmo pode ser tokens de LP se você estiver participando de um IFO. Depois de preparar sua carteira, você precisará se conectar ao DApp do IDO usando o botão de conexão, geralmente encontrado no canto superior direito. Aqui está um exemplo de como ele se par

ece: Agora você receberá instruções específicas sobre como bloquear seus fundos em preparação para o evento de geração de tokens. Certifique-se também de ter fundos suficientes para pagar suas taxas de transação. Na maioria dos casos, uma vez encerrado o período de inscrição, os tokens serão transferidos para sua carteira. Algumas vendas podem, no entanto, bloquear ou fazer staking de seus novos tokens por um determinado período. Leia os detalhes antes de participar de um IDO. Dicas para se manter seguro em um IDO Assim como qualquer investimento, existem dicas fáceis e práticas para ajudar a manter-se o mais seguro possível: Use o link correto para se inscrever no IDO. Golpistas se aproveitarão do entusiasmo e hype de um IDO e criarão páginas falsas de inscrição. Qualquer criptomoeda que você transferir para uma página de golpe será perdida permanentemente. Use um Launchpad de DEX confiável. Já existem muitas DEXs confiáveis onde você pode participar de IDOs, incluindo PancakeSwap e BakerySwap. Usar essas plataformas aumenta suas chances de receber seus tokens com sucesso na venda. Pesquise o projeto no qual você está investindo. Ele é de uma equipe já conhecida e confiável? Os fundos arrecadados serão liberados gradualmente? Já existe um produto para usar? Perguntas como essas podem ajudar você a determinar a probabilidade de um possível golpe ou fraude. Verifique os termos e condições do IDO. Pode haver um atraso na entrega dos tokens, ou eles podem até mesmo ser bloqueados e staked por algum tempo. Quase tudo é possível, dependendo da tokenomics do projeto, e você deve entender completamente esses detalhes. Invista apenas o que você pode perder. As vendas de tokens têm a reputação de serem altamente voláteis. É fácil se empolgar e investir mais do que deveria. Mas não se esqueça, as vendas ainda são arriscadas, e mesmo com uma pesquisa sólida, você ainda pode ser vítima de um golpe, fraude ou rug pull. Plataformas populares de lançamento de IDO Existem muitas DEXs em diferentes blockchains que oferecem serviços de IDO. Uma maneira simples de pesquisar por elas é através da lista Top Launchpad Coins by Market Capitalization no CoinGecko. Qualquer DEX que tenha sua própria moeda, o que é quase todas, está presente na lista. No entanto, não se esqueça de que uma grande capitalização de mercado não significa necessariamente que a DEX é confiável ou digna de confiança. Você deve usar essas informações juntamente com outros fundamentos antes de escolher uma DEX para usar em um IDO. Conclusão Com sua combinação de facilidade de uso, acessibilidade e preço acessível, as IDOs se tornaram um modelo padrão de captação de recursos para muitos novos projetos no mercado de criptomoedas. Na verdade, as ofertas de tokens se tornaram uma indústria em si. Para resumir, geralmente é mais seguro participar de uma venda por meio de uma Exchange de Liquidez Descentralizada do que diretamente com um projeto. No entanto, uma grande parte do sucesso em um IDO é escolher o projeto certo. Para isso, nada supera uma boa pesquisa no espaço cripto.

As I write this, we are 13 hours away from the end of our first funding campaign. I say first because this will most certainly not be the last.

To say that the last two months have been draining would be the understatement of the year. I had no idea what running a funding campaign for a microscopic visual novel would be like, but it still somehow managed to defy my expectations.

So, let's wrap. I want to talk (vent) about the campaign — what are some good things we did, what are some things I'd like to avoid doing in the future? If I can help another small indie developer out with this, then that's the cherry on top.

PART I: THE GOOD THINGS

I want to start by focusing on what we did right. To start, at the time of writing, we raised a total (before IGG's split) of $390. I am so very grateful for every cent, especially when I consider it's $390 less that I have to pull out of my paychecks to make this thing happen.

I think making the campaign flex funding was one of the best decisions I could've made here. In no reality were we going to actually raise $10,000 in our first campaign. So, while we don't have enough to actually make the full game right now, we have enough to get the ball rolling and make *something,* which is a lot better than nothing.

I also must thank the few creators who took the time to make content based on the demo. It was very fun to see other people play. I do wish there were more, but I'll take what I can get right now.

PART II: THE BAD THINGS

I have to admit, because this series is so important to me, I have always had a problem accepting that very few others care about it. So, because I can honestly say we have a fantastic product with brilliant art and a compelling storyline, it hurt knowing that very few others seemed to agree.

In all reality, I know it's less that they disagree and more that they have no idea we exist. This is valid. Where I struggle is knowing how to efficiently let them know we exist without spending my weight in gold in ad revenue, which isn't even guaranteed to work.

All this to say ... we had a total of 17 downloads of the free demo. I would scream to the heavens that we had a free demo, and yet I still had people telling me they had no idea we had a demo. I don't want to think the worst of people but at some point I have to ask if it's my communication skills or their lack of attention span.

I also think we had no business trying to raise $10,000 on our first campaign. I mean, sure — there are some creators who can pull that off, but I have never been one of them. It doesn't make sense that would change now. I should've made the goal closer to $500 or $1000, because then it'd at least look like it was closer to success.

ALSO — the spam. THE SPAM. I never imagined how thick the spam would be; how many people I would have to block on FB to the point where I now second guess myself any time the Chaos Texture page gets a direct message. It could be someone genuinely wondering how we're doing. It's more than likely, however, a spammer.

In any case, if you were to ask me if I would do this again I would laugh and tell you 'no.' It's not worth the mental anguish, the stress and the constant, unending self doubt. I almost burned bridges that I didn't mean to burn during these two months, and it was all because I got in my own head and let doubt persevere. No. I may open up a Patreon for the studio, but ... the next time I'll even consider doing a crowdfunding campaign via KickStarter or IndieGoGo is when we have an established fanbase, and even then I'll be cautious.

In any case, stay tuned for future development updates as they're made.

Sincerely,

James David Herd Creative Director || Chaos Texture
