I'd like to make a recording or a Livestream playing Branded For Sacrifice, can the algorithm hook me up with some indie gamers from the #TTRPG Community? Wouldn't be able to do it this weekend but we could schedule something

@gilarpgs.bsky.social my game developed from Lumen is available today, and I'd love to send the PDF to you and yours to show my appreciation for developing an incredibly intuitive SRD. Is there a way I could reach out direct? ๐ŸŽฒ

Cover art for Branded For Sacrifice TTRPG. The cover is a collage of folklore artwork, showing two crows on opposite branches looking down at a man riding a horse. On either side of the man are imp-like creatures blowing horns, and a sword floats above him, blade pointed down. A Goddess figure floats above them and to the right.

Sorry for slow progress, but slow progress is still progress. It's true endgame now, toDo-List has shrunken to a mere fistful of bullet points. ๐Ÿฅน

Just explained the concept of a table top role playing game to my wife's ex-stepdad because he asked what I've been working on lately

Thinking he regrets the question now

It's a good week, now with another favorite reviewer praising SPINE:

"A truly unique game. Iโ€™ve played solo games and horror games and legacy games and games where you change the book, and yet I donโ€™t have anything to compare SPINE to โ€“ it stands on its own... you need to give this one a try."

Got to talk about Branded For Sacrifice, my first real shot at an RPG video game, inspired by Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and Final Fantasy. It's a shorter experience, I can be at it in about 2 or 3 hours, but I am proud of it :)
