So it’s official! Fumble Folks is now a real-life Limited company!
I know we may be late in announcing this (it happened back in July!) but we are super excited to announce it anyway! Over the last few months we have been super busy behind the scenes writing, streaming, designing and learning to get stuff up and running to get to this stage.

So what have we been up to!?
Writing
We have been furiously writing, proofreading and playtesting our homebrew world of Osasris. Since we started this in July, we have gone from a small seed of an idea to having a fleshed-out continent with over 30 towns and cities, a few homebrew classes with more to come and a half-race table with an amazing new homebrew race.
All this content requires playtesting! We have been using our half-race table as much as possible. There are thousands of different combinations that can be chosen, and most of them will need to be playtested before release to make sure nothing is too broken or overpowered. It’s a long process, but we have some amazing people on board to help us with this task. The combinations of the half-races are a lot of fun, and very interesting to see what people pick!
Streaming
We have been consistently streaming at least twice a week since July, and some weeks there has been a stream almost every day! For every stream, we make a custom overlay and we have been learning what the best setup and equipment are so it is the best it can be. It has been worth it, because we gained Affiliate status with Twitch in only 10 days! On average, it takes streamers between 1-2 months to gain affiliate status, so we’re pretty amazed to have hit that mark so quickly. If you’re one of the people who helped us get there, thank you!
Podcasting
We decided to branch out and offer a podcast of our Rapid Riders campaign, in addition to our current live streams and YouTube videos. This way, we hope to reach more people and build a wider audience for our content. You can find our podcast on Spotify here. More platforms to come soon.
GMing
We have been writing content and making maps for one-shots so we can distribute those on DriveThroughRPG (by the way, this is an affiliate link. If you click it, we will get a small commission from your purchase). We are also setting up a GM-for-Hire game that will be available on Roll20 soon.
Learning
Not going to lie, this is the main thing that’s taken up our time! The three of us have never done anything remotely like this before, so it has been a very steep learning curve! Most of our time is spent reading about and learning new programmes and trying to fix issues when things go wrong!
As well as learning the techniques of editing audio and the ins and outs of social media, we have been learning how to actually start and run a business from scratch. This includes finances, data protection and copyright law. It may sound boring (and let’s face it, it is!) but we now have a far wider skill set than we did 4 months ago!
The Future
The future is looking bright for Fumble Folks. We have many things planned including:
- Launching the Osasris book on Kickstarter. After completing the book and extensive playtesting, we will look into setting up a Kickstarter Campaign.
- Merchandise! We’re currently working on merchandise with our logo on it, as well as a few other surprise artwork that will come from our Rapid Riders campaign.
- Published Christmas One-Shot. We’re currently working on a fun Christmas one-shot that will be ready to purchase in November on DriveThroughRPG.
- New Campaigns! We’re currently planning a few awesome campaigns, including the continuation of the Neverland two-shot (which you can find on YouTube), a Traveling Circus campaign and a West-Marches style Campaign set in a different plane of existence!
How to Support Fumble Folks
