Dear Guillotine Backers,
We wanted to reach out with a special update. If you're reading this update, it means you backed Guillotine: Crown of Blood -- and we want to give a special shout out to Guillotine backers who also back our second game, Metamorphosis.
Any Guillotine backer who backs Metamorphosis will get a thank-you in the book, regardless of what tier they choose to back at. This is our way of saying 'thank you' to the folks who have been there since the beginning.
If you've backed both games already, please contact us via the Discord or via our email, [email protected], and we'll add you to the list.
And for those of you who haven't seen Metamorphosis yet: here is a link to the playtest in case you'd like to check that out.

Thanks again for all your support!
- The Tally Owl Team
PS: Here's a sneak-peek at the playbook art for Metamorphosis. The Chevalier is a stalwart, honor-bound knight who has sworn an Oath with the fae realm itself as a means of fueling their magic.

Hi Everyone!!
We are so thankful for your support of our first project, Guillotine!! It’s encouraged and enabled us to continue making games and we are so happy to have our second project launching for zinequest 2025!!
Metamorphosis: Becoming Fae—or, the Art of Change is a TTRPG about change, magic, and Fae. We hope you will give it a look and support or spread the word if you like what you see.
METAMORPHOSIS KICKSTARTER HERE
DOWNLOAD THE METAMORPHOSIS QUICKSTART
Metamorphosis Features:
-
Powered by the Apocalypse - An over 100+ page, hardcover, PBTA rule set inspired by games such Monster of the Week and Heart: the City Beneath.
-
Nine chimerical playbooks - each with its own unique Core Magic. Will you be a deal-making Hag, a carnivorous Redcap, or charmingly artificial Galatea? Or something else entirely?
-
Mechanics for navigating the land of fae - Just like deep-sea diving: the deeper you go, the worse it is. What will you find in Arcadia's core? Includes locations and fae for each level that can serve as challenges for player characters or inspiration for their former life in Arcadia.
-
Distinct modes of play - will your fairy Circle go on a Heist to recover the cursed amulet, or are they on a Wild Hunt for the Ogre Queen? Different Mission types give you different rewards and boons.
-
Artistic collaboration - Metamorphosis’ art and layout is being done by Outrider Creative, the creator behind the spectacular Perils and Princesses.

Hi everyone!
We’re unbelievably excited to announce that we’ve sent out all the copies of Guillotine that were ordered from this Kickstarter! We hope those of you who have physical copies are already enjoying them--if you haven't received the physical copies you ordered by 1/14/25, please reach out and we'll help get a copy in your hands! We apologize that customs process has delayed some international orders, but they should be arriving in the next week.
We also decided to have one of the authors, Ash, sign all the copies that went out -- just as a thank you for supporting our first project and your patience along this journey!! (The other author, Elliot Wren, would have loved to sign them as well but was out of state by the time we needed to launch.) This is just a little something to show our appreciation, since this is our first published TTRPG. You were there since the beginning, and that means a lot to us!
Also, we've updated the PDF version of Guillotine on itch.io to reflect the additional changes we made between the last version and publication. This includes all the new art we've added, so be sure to download the new version when you get a chance!
We are so thankful to everyone who supported our first TTRPG project. We can’t wait to hear what you all think of the book and Guillotine as a game!
As a last note: with the fulfillment of Guillotine finally complete, we’re getting ready for our second zine quest over here at the newly founded Tally Owl Cooperative Press! We'll keep you all posted on the development of our second TTRPG later this month!
