Drink! Progress and Upcoming Events

,

Greetings Cherry Picked Fans,

First off, it's crunch-time for Drink! We're working hard to finish our illustrations and get everything sent overseas. Our goal is to make the card-art fun, visually distinct, and clean. It's been an endeavor to get 150 of these out while not reusing ideas or jokes. You're worth it. Full disclosure: we are slightly behind schedule here. Nothing that should affect the deadline unless there are other delays later in manufacturing. We'll keep you posted.

We've starting getting our punch and party recipes for the backer chapbook. There's some delicious drinks bartenders have provided us. We'll make a few for the next CPG game night.

CPG will once again be part of Games on Demand at this year's Emerald City Comic Con. Our talented and attractive game masters will lead groups through the demon apocalypse Friday and Saturday. To comply with ECCC's policy towards demoing products, we will also be offering to run other RPGs. It'll be fun either way, but we think people will prefer a game with the developers over the alternative.

After that, we will be ordering our other Drink! rewards and doing Catalyst demos in Idaho and Eastern Washington. More details soon.

Cheers!

Catalyst Demo Tour

Greetings Cherry Picked Fans.

We're doing another series of Catalyst demonstrations across Redmond and Bellevue. 

If you've already tried Catalyst and want to play a session without committing to a full campaign, join us at the inaugural night of our Cascadia Militia group. That will be every Thursday night at Card Kingdom, starting 3/24.

For those outside of Washington, CPG is happy to demo Catalyst over Skype, as we have for reviewers. Contact alex@cherrypickedgames.com for details.

VDay Roundup

, ,

Happy World Radio Day Cherry Picked Fans. We have a plethora of things happening this week.

Game night! Tomorrow, 2/14, CPG is hosting a board game night at our office (read: @CrustlessPunk's house). All manner of games will be welcomed and played. We are playtesting Drink!, so we'll provide some booze for that.

Catalyst Sale! Grab a copy of Catalyst and our Campaign Bundle for cheap. Our sale expands to Amazon, if you are addicted to Prime Shipping. Seattle's Card Kingdom is also doing a huge sale, with RPGs 40% off (seriously, locals: take advantage of that).

Polls are still open for the "Cascadia Militia" drop-in Catalyst sessions. Vote for when and where today.

If you missed it, check out our playthrough with Roll for Crit. It's a truly genuine Catalyst experience, complete with overly-complex plans, absurd characters, and brutal fights.

One of our art team members, Dinah Juergens, was featured in Make Space Zine. This zine focuses on womxn creatives across the Pacific Northwest. Look for Dinah's amazing paintings and interview in Issue #2.

Finally, Drink! is still being played on the CSz After Party Podcast after our blurry visit. Getting comedians intoxicated is one of the goals we had designing this game. Good to see it's living up to the potential.
