Sunday Digest ~ Vol I

Hi all,

I've been quite bad at regular monthly updates, and updating you when there's a new episode, so I'm going to fold them together and try committing to a regular Sunday update. I'll post all the episodes you might have missed, their textless counterparts, any highlights from the past week and what my plans are for the next week.

The week that was:
No new comics this week - I accidentally had two weeks off while I took care of some other things.
Instagram allows 20 images to a post now, so I've been sharing some recaps. I'm also taking a break from the rat race of /r/comics.
I've been feeling pretty physically unwell lately so taking a breather probably isn't a bad thing...

Patreon are adding a new fee for Apple users when they sign up, so I've reopened my $1 tier for the rest of the month. I'll be making the switch over from 1st of the month billing to every-30-days billing at the end of August, which won't affect you if you're already a patron.

Upcoming:
My home-alone-for-a-week crunch week starts in a few days, so I'll be aiming to pull some all-nighters and get some things finished I've promised people. In terms of priorities:

• Anything I need to do to make sure Cut the Deck has a smooth launch

• Sending out Sticker Club (we reached 100 members so I have some bonus content arriving on the 26th) - I'll be collecting everyone's addresses again from scratch, to make sure they're all up to date : expect a new form to fill in sometime this week

• Sending out Quest Sprout book orders

• Finishing and posting this years Swordtember prompt list (if you're a patron with a birthday in September, check out the Community chat)

• The second half of the Patron Swor'nament

• Outstanding commissions

• Stars

• Swords episode 878 : Time War

• Bonus comics and lore for Patreon

• An overdue tidy up of my socials

• Preparing the annual Swords survey for September (I'll ask easier questions this year, promise)

• Start the groundwork on a new Kickstarter campaign (for after Cut the Deck has launched and we've gotten lots of feedback)

• Possibly some design work for Makeship (you can check out the next design on Discord, if you're a patron)

It's very doubtful I will get all these things done, but I'll do what I can with the time I have and try not to hurt myself in the process.

That's about everything I'm working on. See you next Sunday!
