Just a quick but heart-felt thank you to everyone who has downloaded Jug Bitten. Would love to get your comments and feedback on the supplement and mini-system when you have a second. Thanks! 🥂

Jug Bitten by By Matt Kelly A simple system for inebriation and its resolution in TTRPGs.

I just published a new supplement for Into the Odd and Cairn: Jug Bitten. A simple system for when player characters or NPCs decide to imbibe during an adventure – because such consumption is not without its consequences in play. Cheers! 🍻 @bastionland.bsky.social @yochaigal.bsky.social

It's an absolute joy discovering the world of Beyond Corny Groń from Kuba Skurzynski. The people, beasts, landscape from Polish folklore are fascinating. The artwork is rich and authentic. And the book is a comprehensive guide and tool. Great addition to the solo TTRPG I've been playing.

There's a brand new game available from the @snafustore.bsky.social team: Berestechko 1651.👇 And I got to make the promo video for it. 🤘 @marcfigueras.bsky.social @ivanprat.bsky.social

This past weekend I rediscovered Starflight! Anyone else play this game from 1986? A vast universe to explore, aliens to encounter, resources to manage, mysteries to solve. From a game design perspective, I'm finding Starflight has a lot to admire and learn from.

This is one of the reasons I enjoy working with @snafustore.bsky.social: They're always playing and figuring out what works and what doesn't. And then we come up with cool solutions that makes the game even better for players. These mini cards are such a great option for our Mackinac game!

🙌

👍👍 Hope you enjoy them all! Let me know what you think of Mackinac.

I just offered him a code. 👍

🙌 Outstanding! What did you order?

The success of the Opportunity rover was ultimately due to the humans who designed and controlled the mission. Human ingenuity and creativity is always essential. This includes game design and artwork – which is why my Opportunity game carries the Human Made logo by @hinokodo.com. 1/2

Thanks for the comparison and encouragement. 🙌

Success did not come easy. The rovers had to overcome complicated terrain, global storms, software glitches, stuck parts and Martian winters. NASA team ingenuity and a bit of luck was the key to success. Can you achieve the same? 2/2 bymattkelly.itch.io/opportunity

In January 2004, two robotic explorers – the Spirit and Opportunity rovers – landed on the Red Planet for a 90-day mission. Spirit ended up operating for six... NASA's Spirit and Opportunity Mars Rovers: 20th Anniversary of Landing

Twenty years ago today, NASA's Opportunity rover successfully landed on Mars. This tense, dramatic moment was just the beginning... 1/2 youtu.be/Uv3Zg4Pff2s?...

The Opportunity and Spirit mission to Mars was expected to last 3 months – but instead continued for almost 15 years! See how long you can survive and explore. 👉 bymattkelly.itch.io/opportunity

NASA's Opportunity was amazingly successful in its Martian mission: to analyze rocks and soils for signs of past water activity. These signs are evidence that Mars might have been able to support microbial life in the past. Want to try the mission yourself? 👉 bymattkelly.itch.io/opportunity

This month marks the 20th anniversary of Spirit and Opportunity's landing on Mars -- and the start of one of the most exciting space missions of all time! I have a tight little board game that captures the tension and excitement of Opportunity's exploration of Mars. 👉 bymattkelly.itch.io/opportunity
