Hiya, Pal!
Happy Halloween!
Halloween is not for over a month still, you say? Never mind that! I started seeing Halloween sales back in July. If you ask me, they should start in January! Can you really have too much Halloween? Why, if you waited until Halloween day to get a bag of candy corn, it wouldn't have time to get properly stale.
Well, I'm excited to tell you that we have some free treats to get you in the mood for Halloween that are even better than stale candy corn! And they are full of tricks... NEW CARDS ARE HERE... both in the videogame AND in the tabletop game! And some of them are FREE like air, sunshine and bacterial infections!

GET THE HALLOWEENIES 6-CARD DLC PACK FOR FREE!
You may have already met PUNKIN HAID, notable as the only Halloweenie that is truly hollow... he was already added to the game automatically in early September.
|
This free DLC card set introduces you to:
|
SPOOKSIE, the duke of spook, the ghostest with the mostest, the, uh, physician of apparitions!
|
THE UNSMELLABLE MAN... if you smelt it, it ain't him what dealt it!
|
GILLBERT, the slimy creep from the briny deep!
|
NOSTRILATU, a demented dracula whose schnoz can attackula! He can smell your blood from here!
|
SLENDERFELLA, the riot on a diet! You can only see him if you cross your eyes!
|
...And playing Upchuck Berry on slime guit-airy in the cemetery, we have that rotabilly rocker ZOMBIE B. GOODE!
|
If you and/or your opponent get two of these fiends in play, you'll activate their group ability.... which brings out the Halloween trick or treats every time you play:
|
|
|
"On your turn, roll a die. If you roll under the number of Halloweenies in play, draw a card."
|
Unless... unless they've already downloaded you first! AGH! EEK! GROPP! GLEEP!
OOK!

BUT WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE THE SQUIRMISH VIDEOGAME? WHAT IF I WANT IT? WHAT IF THERE WAS A SALE? WHAT IF IT WAS HAPPENING VERY SOON? WHAT IF I HAD TWO WASHINGTONS AND SOME CHANGE? WHAT IF MY NAME WAS MARVIN?
You don't have the Squirmish videogame yet, Marvin? Well, that makes it awfully hard to get that free downloadable content, doesn't it? You could try to somehow download it to some sketchy app on your smart toaster or smart vacuum cleaner or dumb socks, but I think you're going to find it easier (and more fun) if you just purchase a copy of the videogame on Steam. If you want to do that, I have a hot tip for you... from September 30th to October 7th, the videogame will be on sale from it's usual price of $6.99 (basically the same as a cup of coffee and a bagel) down to a mere $2.79 (basically the same as a cup of bagel-free coffee). That is 60% off, for those of you who don't like doing maths! That leaves 40% left over for you to go splurge on schmear!

GET A FREE PUNKIN HAID CARD IN THE REAL WORLD OF MEAT, SWEAT AND BLOOD!
Speaking of the new Halloweenies set, as I was up above... one of those cards just went into print for the tabletop version! Punkin Haid is our first 3.0 giveaway card. If you are one of the elite members of the Squirmish Email Club (and you probably are if you are reading this), email me, say howdy-hey-ho good buddy and give me your postal address on or before Halloween 2024 and I'll mail you one. Limit one card per club member, available while supplies last.

Squirmish, the Card Game of Brawling Beasties tabletop game (version 3.0) has just been released! Some minor changes have been made and minor errors corrected from the 2.0 version (and, notably, the cards are a bit smaller). The basic set is available in two forms:

I'm not planning to sell any online. However, if any of you members of the Squirmish Email Club are aching to get your hands on one of these things, please reach out to me and let's see what we can figure out.
|
I've been having an absolute gas making the sketches for these this week (although it could be the beans). Here are a few of them below.
