Girl Frame confidently stomps its way into a niche mecha genre Ast-Hound-ing

"Messy lesbians, toxic power dynamics, giant robots fighting eldritch horrors, oppression, and hard choices."

Impressions of Isabelle Ruebsaat's Girl Frame, with some insights from the designer herself.

GM problems: that urge, when you lay out a mission and your players say that it’s going to be a piece of cake to complete, to increase the levels of all the enemies or make the traps just a little more dangerous…

A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. 
Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment.
Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal:
Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution
The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.

yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

We played The Time We Have, a tragic storytelling game by Elliot Davis and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. You can watch the entire playthrough on our YouTube channel. #ttrpg #indiegame #thetimewehave #larp

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

In a post full of bangers about tabletop design and playing characters this line is my fave: “When you choose which piece of who you are gets to win and which pieces have to watch it happen and bitterly remember.” 😆😆

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Alyssa Liu shattering the expectation that you need to suffer for your art should usher in an entirely new generation of creatives that use joy as their foundational form of expression.
