There's A TTRPG For That

Oh I love a rabbit's perspective!

Dystopia Rising: Evolution, by @theonyxpath.bsky.social, is a game I recommended because the world has a number of various factions who have their own complicated beliefs about the world and how to survive in it, which might resonate with folks who loved the world-building of Fallout: New Vegas.

WASTELAND, by Maelik Games, levels you up with equipment rather than by adding bonuses to skill points. It takes place in a fresh apocalypse, so everything that's happening is new to your characters, as well as everyone around them. It's also free!

Earth: After Death, by @hammercitygames.bsky.social, is an OSR-style post-apocalypse perfect for everyone who loves an environment out to kill you: mutants, radiation sickness, and a wasteland that's dangerous in and of itself. The levelling system has intermittent Perks, just like Fallout!

Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes, by @nerdypupgames.bsky.social, is a delight for the eyes, and definitely feels like a game you need to have in your hands, since it's powered by stickers! It's colorful, it's punk-rock, and your character growth is marked by badges, visually marking improvement.

Wastoid, by @jst.bsky.social, is a Fallout-inspired, Knave-built game that is loosely compatible with a few other post-apocalyptic OSR games. It's still in playtest, but it has plenty of delightful roll-tables, as well as an online play-kit that helps you build your character.

Extinction Punk, by QuickPhix, is a Powered-by-the-Apocalypse game set in a future that blends science-fiction with science-fantasy; a cataclysmic event has ripped the world apart, and new, non-human societies are rising from the ashes. If you want a hell of a lot of mutations, you want this game!

#mintrecommends: Fallout-Style Games! Games that focus on a radioactive post-apocalypse, cultivated by a few requests I've received over the years.

This is a damn good interview

Songbirds is a survival horror dungeon crawler where the dead come back to life and you just constantly get brutalized. It's more disco elysium than D&D. It's got unique classes, body mods, otherworldly beings, and all you need to run the game packed into one PDF.

The front covers of Moon Rings and The Bonsai Diary. Moon Rings is a bold red spiral-bound with a splashy moon graphic while The Bonsai Diary has a tan and green cover with a charming illustration of a cat looking curiously at a bonsai tree.

Mail day! Just got my copy of Moon Rings by @junkfoodgames.bsky.social and The Bonsai Diary by @stickydoodler.bsky.social! Pretty psyched to check these out.

This was also my first time ordering from @tabletopbookshelf.com but I’ll definitely be repeating the experience!

A copy of Molotov College: zine edition lies on a sofa. A Dimday Red micro comic is just visible behind the note beside it. The note says Sam! Thanks for the order, we appreciate your support for small creators. You rock!

Finally it is in my hands! With lovely bonus goodies and a sweet note. <3 @beyondcataclysm.co.uk are truly wonderful!

A illustration for the book cover of Undead Paradise. In it are three characters, each being a different undead species. A woman with four arms hangs from the side of the bridge beam, looking out at the horizon. In the middle is a tall brute with horns, happily hiking along their journey. The last man holds a map, his eyes a bright yellow. The landscape is a ruined wasteland overtaken by fungal growths and plants.

I'm hoping to get the Quickstart Guide for Undead Paradise out before the end of the year. There's been a lot of awesome work put into this project and I'm really excited for how it's coming along!

A new edition of Toon: The Cartoon Roleplaying Game is coming to BackerKit! In this hilarious RPG, you'll become any human, creature, or inanimate object you can think of . . . or make up. Characters will fall down – but they'll never die. Sign up for project notifications today!

December reading.

Some of this is re-reading, to be fair. A lot of this job is thumbing through games and then seeing which are the ones I can't stop thinking about

Oooh neat!

Finally, Girl by Moonlight, by @andrewgillis.bsky.social, has been quite the rage by introducing magical girls into a variety of different genres, mixing up Forged-in-the-Dark in a way that lets you pull what you want from magical girls and really focus on fulfilling your fullest potential.
