Hello, you wonderful people!

This is Andrea (you may know me as CuriousCat from before I moved accounts), who designed this lovely little TTRPG about being pets at a magical academy. Today, I have some "Magical Pets"-related news for you which involve a Dicebreaker feature, an Itch.io account move, info about the "Viva la QueerBar" funding campaign, and a few words about the "Trans Witches are Witches" bundle!

[Ausnahmsweise alles nur auf Englisch - sorry an alle, die nur Deutsch sprechen! "Viva la QueerBar" wird dann wieder zweisprachig!]

Magical Pets on Dicebreaker!

I'm very excited that "Magical Pets" has been featured on Dicebreaker! You can read the article by Maddie Cullen here:  "10 magical school tabletop RPGs that will cast a spell on you". Or you can watch her fun and informative video about all these games over here on YouTube. It's very cute and shows off more of the game, its cute animal illustrations, and pretty HTML version (and tells you about nine other cool games!). Here's a screenshot:

Moving accounts on Itch.io

I also want to let you know that I have moved all of my games from the CuriousCat account to the PlotbunnyGames account on Itch.io, which is why you're getting this message from there. If you want to keep up with what I'm doing, please consider following the Plotbunny Games account!

Crowdfunding for "Viva la QueerBar" has started!

In further exciting news: I have just launched my very first Kickstarter campaign for ZineMonth! We're funding the production of "Viva la QueerBar," a slice-of-life story game about a queer bar (or queer café), its team, and the pleasures and struggles of being part of a queer community. At the time of this message, we've already raised two thirds of the funding s

Whether as a fantasy medieval tavern, a cyberpunk underground club, a real-world gay bar in a historical setting, an intergalactic queer bar on a spaceship, or anything else you can think of – the QueerBar lives wherever you want it to. That includes the little village near your magical school (that is of course trans-inclusive)!

Here's a mockup of the almost-finished cover and an example of an interior spread (which may look even better in the final version):

If you like the friendly vibe of "Magical Pets" and want to support queer game designers, you should totally check out "Viva la QueerBar", which was written by Sandra Dahlhoff and Andrea Rick (me, who also will do the layout). The gorgeous original cover art is by Hannah van den Höövel! If the campaign funds successfully, we'll publish the game in both English and German at the same time (just like "Magical Pets"), so this is a treat for all of you.

Trans Witches Are Witches

If you want to support even more LGBTQIA+ game designers and don't have enough games about magic yet, check out the "Trans Witches are Witches" bundle with 69 items by 56 different creators! It's only running for another two days, so get it while you can! (I don't have a game in this bundle but I think it deserves all the positive attention it can get - I already bought it for myself!)

I hope this has been interesting to you! If not, you'll find an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of this email. That said, I only email people very sparingly when I have big news to share.

All the best to all you magical pets and humans,

Andrea
