Hey Misspent myriad!
I hope you are all enjoying Misspent Youth: Fall In Love, Not In Line!
I've been seeing social media posts and emails sharing that you've received your books and some folks have even been streaming games! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyOZNAznsns)
Thank you for sharing in our joy about getting the game out!
And to that end, we have another game coming out called Subversion, which is live on Kickstarter now!
Subversion is a game about people and communities from seven fantastic species, with their own unique combination of abilities, determined to protect and advance their communities while remaining true to their own ideals.
All of our games have an edge of pushing back on authority, the power of relationships, and staying true to yourself, but this game cranks up those themes to 11! Subversion is about community, direct action, revolution, and hope for the future, even against a world rife with runaway technology, unchecked power, and dangerous secrets.
Subversion is live now on Kickstarter, and you can back it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fraggingunicorns/subversion?ref=1qejha
Thanks for your support, y'all!

Fulfillment Complete!
I just paid the shipping deposit, so that means all the physical books for Misspent Youth: Fall In Love, Not In Line will start shipping tomorrow, (Wednesday). And with that, fulfillment is complete on our baby! I hope you all love it as much as we do! If there are any problems, or if you don't get your confirmation email/tracking # in the next two weeks, please reach out and let us know.
It has been our great pleasure to have been able to carry on the legacy of Misspent Youth, and there is even more to come! In particular, there is a horror game using the Misspent Youth rules, as well as a Superheroes game. Stay tuned!
Once we get word that everyone's copies have been sent out, we'll be adding community copies to our website, so if you know someone who might want it (especially if they are teachers or school organizations, libraries, etc. ), let them know, or grab one for them!
Conventions
This year, we will be at Origins Game Fair (June) and GenCon (August) running games of Misspent Youth (and other stuff), so if you are headed there, you can get your books signed by Cliff, play games, but more, or just say hi (please do!).
Actual Play!
Check out the recent actual play by Girlsruntheseworlds. They played Fall In Love, Not In Line last Thursday and it was great!

Ok, folks, I'll be back a few more times, I'm sure, but until then, you all have really meant a lot to us and your support has blown us away. Thank you, thank you.

Fulfillment Update (Physical Books)

Hello mischievous monarchs of mayhem!
Good news! I Received word from the printer about the physical MY:FILNIL books. They are in production and will be shipped to us on 1/10/23. Now, two things. 1) That is pretty awesome, given the state of printing, supply chain, and printing at the moment. BUT 2) I would take that with a grain of salt. I have yet to have anyone we've worked with over the last few years actually fulfill when they said they would, so I'd think that the date given is their optimistic assessment.
Still, if they end up being a little late, and we don't get the books in our hands until January 24 or so, that still means you'd probably have them in your hands by early February, which is exciting!
More updates as we get them, but thank you to everyone for your support and awesomeness!

Hey everyone! It's been a minute since our last update, but that's because we've been working hard to get the book into shape! And now, we've got some good news!
Misspent Youth: Fall In Love, Not In Line is finished!
The layout is done, and the PDF is on its way to everyone who backed the kickstarter! The printed books will be coming soon, but I don't have an exact quote from the printer, nor do I put faith in such quotes based on what we've learned about printing and shipping these last few years.
But it should be soon!
Also, a small point, but I want to have integrity about this: The screen-friendly PDFs of Misspent Youth and Sell Out With Me that Rob has produced over the last decade are soooo cool! They are much easier to read and play with online than regular PDFs. But they are a bit of work. So, we're sending out the regular PDF (which will look just like the printed book), and then Rob said he'd work with me to show me how to get Fall In Love, Not In Line into a screen-friendly form, too. I am not going to put a timetable on that, but it is on my wishlist!
Once the PDF distribution is done, you can also buy more PDF copies (or give them to your buddies, whatever) on our website (FraggingUnicorns.com) or on Drivethrurpg.com.
You can also go to https://www.fraggingunicorns.com/misspent-youth-download to find updated versions of the setting/dystopia sheet and the Permanent record/YO sheet, as well as downloadable/printable struggle sheets, case files (campaign trackers), other settings, and some more goodies.
Thanks again for all your support! More updates on printing/shipping as we get them!
