Gattai Sentai Konranger! by Evan Saft Chaotic Super Sentai Robot Action!

Oh hey, did you know I made two new games last month for the @gshowitt.bsky.social game jam? No?

That's because I'm super bad at social media! But hey, here they are.

had a great PAX Unplugged this year! played in some great games at Games on Demand. ran a tense playtest. and did lots of short demo playtests with Unpub. highlight was definitely the family of four that had never played a ttrpg before that had a blast betraying each other over the last bagel

how to get paid to design ttrpgs life hack: work on your game at work lmao

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Castle Rock v. Gonzales is, no joke, my Roman Empire.

Once you learn the full details of this horrific case, you will never again be able to see policing as a force for safety or justice.

It will permanently alter your understanding of state violence, gender, and race in this country.

classically i have written part of my game in the lobby at Metatopia to bring to my last playtest tomorrow. fingers crossed!

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Apocalypse World: Burned Over The 3rd edition of the groundbreaking original.

If you backed that Avatar game a while back, you need to back this. Possibly at the pay-it-back level.

one more day til i arrive for Metatopia!

first playtest at Metatopia next weekend already sold out 17 minutes after tickets went live woooo 🎉

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Like a game? Comment away!

CAN WE ERASE OUR HISTORY is a two-player, diceless hack of Time To Drop in which you relitigate a toxic relationship (or situationship) while listening to The Beths and being thrown across other realities in which it might have gone differently

They Tried to Snuff Out Hawaii's Native Board Game. Meet the Man Keeping It Alive Kōnane was once a national pastime, played by peasants and rulers alike. Now John Kaʻohelauliʻi has made it his mission to bring it back.

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

Hilarious.

My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you.

What you do with this information is between you and God.

looking for a game for labor day? how about this one i recently released about the toxic labor cycle of regional theatres that will only be fixed with a union

The Show Must Go Wrong by helliot A short game about surviving tech week

I’ve finally released my first completed game on itch: The Show Must Go Wrong. It’s a card game about surviving tech week in a regional theatre. Players deal with complex problems and take on stress as they race to the end of tech week towards opening night. Can you get this show open and keep

for the morning crowd!

Unfamiliar with regional theatre? The game should have plenty of familiar elements if you’ve done theatre in school or community theatre. But there’s also a glossary for some specific jargon!

your job before the show comes crashing down around you?

GenAI will not only do your job badly, it will also make you less cognitively capable of resuming your job once you learn how badly it has done your job, and it can't ever be held accountable for its errors, no matter how costly.
