Hi everyone!
Thank you all for your patience and support as we’ve been working away on Guillotine!!! We are unbelievably excited to share 1.0 with you all!! It's finally here!
We will be posting a tier-locked update (for those in the Digital Edition tier and above) which includes an itchi.io download link of the digital PDF. We will also send the files via Backerkit later today, so keep an eye on your emails.
If for some reason you can't access either version, please reach out to us--either on Kickstarter or at our email--and we'll personally send you a digital PDF. Our email is [email protected].
You can still order digital (and physical!) copies of Guillotine at the following link:
https://guillotine-ttrpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Also, we wanted to let you know that we have officially changed our name to Tally Owl Press on Kickstarter, to celebrate and also to ensure we can share more games and news even if it's not Guillotine specific. If you see any messages from Tally Owl Press, that's us!
We can't thank you enough. From the bottom of the team's collective heart, thank you. Your support allowed a team of three trans creators to make this game into a reality. We cannot wait to hear your feedback, and we're so excited to hear what revolutionary stories you have to tell.

Upcoming Digital Release and Late Backer Options!!!

Hi everyone!
We are excited to announce that we're approaching the end of production on Guillotine: Crown of Blood. That means it’ll be in your hands soon! We also wanted to share some other developments we’ve been looking forward to sharing!
First and foremost, we’d like to thank you all for your interest in and support of our first game, Guillotine. We are on track to have a digital copy of the game released in September (that’s in less than 2 weeks!!). The print run for physical copies will begin in late September, with our goal being to have copies shipped in October. We can give more specific projections for arrival times once we hear from the printer, but we are anticipating late October or early November arrival dates for physical copies. If anything changes, we will let you know immediately.
In other news: your continued support has inspired us to continue to write TTRPGs and share them with you all!! So we’d like to announce the founding of Tally Owl Cooperative Press!
Part of the decision to found this co-op press is based on our values and goals as writers and publishers. The people who write this game -- Ash and Wren -- are both people with publishing experience who want to bring that experience to a less traditional model. We're really excited to use this press to continue bringing you new TTRPGs. With that in mind, we have a second project (along with an exciting art collaboration!) that we can’t wait to share with you once the digital version of Guillotine is in your hands.
That said, if you have questions about any of this --or if you're a TTRPG creator looking for a cooperative press to work with -- please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. If you are a creator, please put "TTRPG Proposal" in the subject line.
Other than that, some housekeeping. For anyone that missed the Kickstarter or wants to add another copy to their order, we have opened a late backer pre-order page with Backerkit:
https://guillotine-ttrpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Backer surveys have been sent through backerkit so keep an eye on your emails and let us know if you’re having trouble accessing it or have any questions.
Finally: just because we’re approaching Version 1.0 on Guillotine doesn’t mean that we’ll stop improving the game. We invite you to join us on the Guillotine Discord to chat with others about your game, give feedback on your experience, or join us in the public game session that will be starting up in October.

Last but not least: we invite you to follow Tally Owl Press to stay up to date on Guillotine as well as our future projects:

Thank you so much again for your continued support! We always invite feedback and criticism. Otherwise, we can't wait to share the finished product with you.
Playtest Document Updated!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Aug 16, 2024 at 10:10:47 AM
Hi everyone,
We have another round of updates for you! This round of updates includes feedback from the community, as well as some small tweaks for clarity throughout.
You can find the updated playtest document here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uIeUmX1HexeHMpkd66Ev4Hj7tdrr4cq6/view?usp=sharing
We also want to start to keep a change-log to keep those planning or playing Guillotine campaigns aware of recent changes. So, with that in mind, here are the changes to this latest release:
Guillotine 0.4
- More clearly defined summoning mechanics and constraints
- Factions can now be tapped to reduce foundation strength
- The Firebrand base move has been rebalanced and rewritten
- Added 3 new foundation types, and reworked existing ones
- The Leech playbook has been renamed to the Promethian
- The Demiurge playbook has been renamed to God-thing
Those are the major changes! You can expect another update soon, as we're continuing to work through improvements to core mechanics (as well as grammatical edits throughout.) The Discord community also voted on what they'd like to see next, and Downtime was a resounding winner in both polls, so you can expect some more detailed mechanics on Downtime in future updates. The runner up was the Conflict Turn, and we already have some ideas on what to incorporate there -- mechanics for inner-Crown and inner-Cause conflicts, as well as more detailed ones for seizing pillars, are on next on the to-do list.
Please let us know here or on our Discord if there’s anything you’d like to see changed or included, as our work on Guillotine continues! As always, thank you for your continued support: we literally couldn't do it without you.
