– Happy Monday everyone! Its suddenly Fall here in Portland. Super hot on Saturday, raining cold and overcast on Sunday. Honest;y, thats how I prefer it (at least for part of the year).
– My new Kickstarter launched this weekend and I’d really appreciate your support. We had an okay first 3 days and we’re about 1/3 funded, but I’m really hoping we can reach our goal this week. The project is called Mermaid Hunters and its a starter set for the Yeld RPG my brother and I released last year. The set comes in a box like a board game (and includes a board and pieces) and is perfect for kids ad people who are new to gaming. In the game you play kids (and their dog) from our world who discover a magical door to Yeld and come face to face with a gang of mermaids.
I think the project is a lot of fun, and we made sure to make it affordable (the game is just $35) so that its easy to try out and makes a great gift! You can check out the Kickstarter here. I’d really appreciate your support!
Tentacles! Of course there has to be tentacles… and cute little crabs? Lolz!
DON’T FORGET THE FISH !
Jake needs a like button 🙂
Oh no, Crab Rave Mk 2: Battle Splash edition. Coming to a *SPLOOOSH!* near you!
Battle Splooosh? The Splooshening? We’re working on it.
I’m picturing there being something like Azshara from Warcraft or Ursula the sea witch coming up soon…
With friendly crab and fish it might be even Ariel.
Throwing weapons in a fight on a lake where movement in all three dimensions is possible doesn’t seem like a very effective idea.
The moral of the story being when you throw your only knife either be sure to hit or make sure they don’t have a weapon to throw back.
That and tentacles will come when you least expect them to.
“So, you threw your weapon at me? That’s cute…”
ever seen a crab? It’s all but cute
All is better, where it is wetter… under the sea!
Cthulu demands cuddles!
Send in the Kraken….
I love that mermaid’s reaction to her own whiffed attack. She knew what she was in for!
Thanks.
You defeated the mermaids! Your reward: 250 pounds of seafood!
Here ya go!
All you can eat!
I don’t know why , but since my comment about “Stop eating fish = stop killing mermaid” , there are lit of people joking about foof -_-…
Well, Milectar… food is intrinsically funny. For example…
Pineapples.
Did the mermaid get hit by the axe or did she dodge? Can’t really tell…
She saw it coming and dived out of the way.
A “Whiff!” sound effect may have been more explanatory than “UMMPH!” then. ^_^
Its actually Vmmph! It was supposed to indicate the speed of the axe.
Oh damn

Jake, please tell us that throwing large weapons is a viable tactic in the Yeld RPG
It is! Okay, so what you want to do is take the Throw Special die. You can take this up to 3 times, letting you add up to three extra dice to the attack. Then you want to take a weapon with the Big Weapon Special die. This lets you roll 1 extra Strong die on the attack as well, plus any Monster that you damage will be knocked back. So you can throw your huge ax and roll 4 dice, plus all your Strong dice (which is you’re an Oathbreaker will be probably 3-5) and if you hit the monster it’ll be hurt AND knocked on its butt! Add in a Bonus Special die like Charge, Pain Train or Last One Standing to get even more dice! Work with your friends to build an Action Chain and you could be roll 12-15 dice on that throw attack! Of course you’ll lose your ax till the end of the fight… but who doesn’t carry 3 axes at all times?
I see you enjoy heavy hitting as much as most of my RPG group. You really ought to put in character build FAQ’s in the rules, or at least in an appendix or downloadable PDF!
We plan to do some build guides soon.
