I'll say upfront I'm looking to immigrate but am a neurodivergent Trans Girlflux Lesbian in Toronto who has been dealing w/ precarious to non-existent housing for the past few months.

But I would absolutely respect and understand others having priority over me ^-^

Another unhinged TTRPG take (because all of yours are boring): The often lauded and repeated sentiment "the game is the conversation" comes from a singular version and thus principle of a particular game design philosophy.

That, or you're defining "conversation" so broadly it ceases meaningfulness.

When making "cyberpunk" fiction in a medium your choice but that fiction is directly about trying to critique capitalism/post-capitalism in our contemporary understanding and experience of it:

1) Cyberpunk isn't about that
2) We live in a **post-scarcity** dystopia NOT a cyberpunk dystopia

^-^

Same! The closest I've seen is a roll n' write solo-rpg called Vampire Baseball At Midnight but it is definitely very lite in that design.

And I will be sure to tag or share it with you when I can make progress. Maybe I'll do both or some combo!

I agree whole-heartedly!! I've been considering going Dodgeball as a sport to twist but find the lack of an ability-driven fantastical baseball (see: Blaseball but Tabletop) game both disappointing & shocking given what a great example the corresponding reference point is via emergent narrative

05.08.2025 01:30 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I've been wanting to do a fantastical sports game myself and sadly current life conditions have me not getting much progress on game design but this looks sick from abilities alone and I could use with a Blood Bowl made by a cooler person

Appreciate everyone turning up to put in the work regarding the payment processor situation, especially fellow non-slutty TTRPG folk as I'm too out of it to fight the good fight myself.

And I want to thank @itch.io for listening and walking it back. I'm hoping it improves further!

Had this idea for a No Sacrifice Without Blood AP following explicitly horrific, humanity-leeching monsters titled "Karma's Gonna Come For All of Us"

Dream cast would be:

I almost said Gamma World as the bit but didnt trust "well technically its 7e" was worth the walk

No. It plays nothing like that game and I don't know where this Shadowrun comparison is coming from at all.

Thanks to everyone sharing and supporting, I am right on the cusp of having all of rent covered! Hopefully just one more push, and i can go back to just posting pretty pictures and not begging people to buy my games, lol.

Bundle is still available which means I'm still down to offer you anything from my catalog ik exchange for it!

It's a great value!

Check out my stuff! We can negotiate something I'm sure:

Come on TTRPG space: Put your money where your mouth is and run a Free Palestine March at GenCon.

I think it is wild I haven't heard a peep of protesting and it actually makes me ashamed to share this community with folks there for business purposes

10. APs have a huge bias toward people with pretty headshots, and especially toward people who are not trans women

Oh I need to go a step further: Journaling should be it's own category instead of being an assumed inclusion of design with solo-RPGs as whole.

Solo games can very easily feel like group rpgs but Journaling games are very often creative writing exercises (which is fine bit feel utterly different)

I wouldn't shilling so hard if it wasn't an emergency. Had some unexpected expenses this summer (which is the slower season for my household) and we are try to catch up. Please consider grabbing EVERY PAID GAME I HAVE for $15 bucks and/or sharing this around.

Thank you so much!

The best time for cishet white men to stop making TTRPGs was after AD&D

The 2nd best time is now.

Both or either! I think the way the GM role works in DIE does something like this? Every PbtA game that doesn't give the GM a Playbook is a coward

My unhinged TTRPG take (that I'll actually share) is that not enough games have the GM get XP/Advancement/Power-Ups.

We need to start powergaming the facilitator role.
