It's pay what you want, so there's nothing stopping you from grabbing it and playing it.

in honour of the new katamari game coming out, here's some of my favourite insane item descriptions from it

Remembering stuff is Michael's job.

Very proud of this one, would love for more people to check it out!

Hi folks, my game We Contain Solitudes is out now!

I made the cover for this! Go check it out! 👀

The game is pay what you want on itch, and I would love for you to grab it and try it out.

It's a more experimental RPG, that is doing some new and interesting things, it'll be a new and strange experience you can share with a friend.

The cover is by @helveticablanc.bsky.social and it was so cool to get to work with them on the cover for my little game.

Why watch 15+ innings when I can just watch this 1 minute clip?

I haven't played a ton of extraction games, but I did really enjoy Hole for its wild aesthetics and

Anyways, the process has been working well so far. I got some great insights and feedback from bringing the game to playtest zero (which is a very cool and good discord)
I got to use that session as a first swing at the material and situation that I was planning for the other playeltest, which is

Excuse me as I bury myself into a hole while I process all the absolute joy working on @bloomandblight.bsky.social has been.

If you are looking for a story about a bunch of queer heroes fighting for a brighter tomorrow against an evil AI, we have the most amazing story for you.

It was a fun little bit of TTRPG archaeology, picking up an unfinished, somewhat fragmentary game, and playing it as best we could. Lots of homebrewing and interpreting and playstorming.

Not nearly as rigorous (with no data vis or anything) I would say my year was a 3 way split of Apocalypse Keys, my own game We Contain Solitudes (all playtests), and Apocalypse World: Dark Ages

"It's good to eat me, I'm a citizen!"

I was sacrificed for the land and all I got was this essay On Luke Jordan’s Harvest, a masterpiece of folk horror

@newmadras.bsky.social goes down the folk horror rabbit hole, comes out with a bunch of movie references and his Game of the Year.

Sometimes even the land deserves a little treat... OF BLOOD!

Been meaning to write about this game for ages and finally did. Games are very good sometimes! Here's one!

Absolutely loved this game. Weird-as-you-want worldbuilding, characters you instantly care about, and all building towards an almost (but not quite!) guaranteed tragic ending. Get it.

Sure I'd love to hear about your experience.

Don't worry, I checked my life's credits and you're a 'Special appearance by' that shows up after all the other supporting actors.

Took a lot of inspo from Darkest Dungeon for my game Girl by Moonlight.
The tension of a character hitting their stress limit and usually breaking, but sometimes triggering their virtue was something I tried to replicate with my Eclipse rules.

Doing game design...

If the game weren't so self serious, I might actually do so (also, the legal implications of using a still from a TV show as the title of my game are beyond my ability to comprehend).
