My home for the week, in Louisville Kentucky. And my partners from the Cinevore Games team just arrived!
We have three prototypes with us and we're on two different panels today, along with a batch of meetings with publishers. Time to find some partners and make some games! #gamaexpo2026
@laurencipollo.bsky.social and I will be on one of our favorite podcasts, Super Geeked Up, tonight at 9ET/6PT. Join us for geeky games and conversation!

Two outcasts vs. an army of undead that can embody your greatest fears, controlled by a force nobody can identify. The only answers lie in a book written by a madman.
Check out our Kickstarter page and get yourself a copy of the epic adventure Dark & Zarus in Ebook, paperback or hardcover!
Haha awesome
We had to make a bunch of parody posters as wall decor for the background of scenes in our scifi comedy pilot The Box. This one by Tom Campana was one of my favorites.
I think this would make a pretty awesome crew to protect humanity with.
Anyone else have favorite props from your own productions?
I have learned, knowing as many artists as I do, that whenever somebody asks me if I have five minutes to stand against a white wall and make specific expressions, it is always worthwhile.
@laurencipollo.bsky.social makes a good alien for sure.
You get a D&Z book in every format AND paperbacks of all three Parallax novels, all signed and personalized by us! You even get bookmarks for both books (Parallax bookmarks not pictured) and cool digital character art.
Check out the campaign and see where your interests land. 🦾⚔️🏰🐦🔥👾👽
Clearly our fans love sci-fi AND fantasy. (Maybe that's why you follow us. 🚀🐉) One of our most popular tiers in the Dark&Zarus Kickstarter is the Completionist Level!
And check out the campaign, we recently added an audio excerpt from an early chapter when our two leads first encounter one another... in a prison cell.
Thank you so much everybody who's backed!! I have amazing friends.

Every fantasy book is better when you have a fantasy map to follow along with, right? Well good news! We're almost halfway to our next stretch goal, which will mean including a Map of the Realm in Dark & Zarus! Join our adventure now and help us get there!
Absolutely!!
If you get a book through this campaign, your name will appear in the book! Make yourself a part of D&Z lore starting at just $8. Thanks again to everybody who's supported. You are wonderful humans (elves, dwarves, demons, etc.)

What a first day! Our fantasy novel Dark & Zarus launched on Kickstarter yesterday and exceeded our initial goal in under five hours! Now, the first of our stretch goals will mean digging back into our formatted book files but it'll be well worth it... (1/2)
Oh thanks for the heads up! We might be able to still add that as an option.
Aww thank you!! 🥳❤️
For sure! You can ask after the campaign to not have us ship the hardcover.
Or if you'd rather, you can order the paperback tier and add the Parallax trilogy as an add-on before check out.
Do either of those solutions work? Let me know if I'm misunderstanding!
We did it, all thanks to you! We hit our 30 day goal for Dark & Zarus in under 5 hours!
Now it's time to work towards some sweet sweet stretch goals, and make these awesome fantasy books even cooler. Join us! 🏰🧟♀️🙀🗡️🏹🐦🔥❤️

Sneak peak of what I've been working on. Coming to you this week! If you're not following the campaign yet, and you love D&D, Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, the link is in my bio.
So excited to bring this to all of you! We've been working on it forever. And it's really good.
Mention of a "Bandit Town" had an allure, I suppose. Also: fewer cultists down here.
...the cure for her were-tigerism. Once there, we ran into a Sand Monster of some sort who frightened and blinded most of us, before we got it together and turned it into mud.
Anyway, all of that makes sense 60 hours in.
Anyone else have favorite sessions or games from recent memory?
Session 18 of @laurencipollo.bsky.social's D&D game, In the Wake of the Fallen, is in the books! Set loosely in the world of our fantasy novel, Dark& Zarus, this session saw chaos gremlin NPC Lenya lead us to talk to a necromancer about obtaining a mysterious orb from an oasis in exchange for...
Ooh, is this what we're calling A.I. now? I'm in.
