Photo of the cover of the game Witchflip. The cover shows a green witch kickflipping over some candles. It also says" a 48-word ttrpg by junk food games." The game is sitting on a fingerboard on a black and green backdrop

please if people can share this around i would appreciate it.
maybe if it gets enough support it will get Steam to take harassment seriously.
if anyone can help πŸ™

idk what to do because this means if i have my games on Steam, Steam will not do anything about harassment.

No Easy Man to Kill by Lyme Murder Rasputin Or Die Trying

I just wrote a short horror adventure. It's free. You play the aristocrats who try to murder Rasputin. It's a nice low-prep adventure, because the GM's job is mostly listening to the players come up with a plan and then showing them how it goes terribly wrong: lymetime.itch.io/no-easy-man-...
