Hey when I'm done with my masters anyone want to hire me to adapt a beloved work into a ttrpg? I promise i can do much better than the Neopets TTRPG AND I will actually pay the people I hire to help me.
I think I technically have more game design experience than them so I’m going to call our skill levels even.
Godzilla ttrpg trying to get even fewer players than the average indie game with that move.
Setting out to beat D&D as "the world's most pirated roleplaying game"
Weird thing I learnt today: fucking Christopher Columbus predicted the rapture twice.
Hey I know fuck-all about Neopets and have played DND before, I can try my hand at making a Neopets rpg.
(I also have a game that tangentially involves cooking via a recipe book but idk if that’s really what you’re looking for: smallredrobin13.itch.io/the-recipe-b... )
I really like Off Recipe. Even convinced my mum to try it: beatingthebinary.itch.io/off-recipe
So excited to share what I made for the Lean Green Zine jam!
22. Here Lies A City
Archeology as worldbuilding is such an interesting idea. It makes you consider how we construct and interpret what's left behind (something I've been exploring of late myself)

Please donate, it's a matter of being able to afford healthcare
21. Magitech Space Western
I loved the use of cards combined with PBTA. It added a lot of thoughtfulness and tension in how you play.

20. Kenzie's Project
This game hits different now that I'm doing a masters.

19. All My Exes Are In Mechsuits
I don't usually play a lot of in-person stuff but this is one I'd love to make the effort for. The wheelie chair aspect just seems so neat.

18. When You Meet Your Doppelganger on the Road, You Must Make Out With Them
I for one think The Double would've been slightly improved if the protag and his doppelganger had made out for a bit so I'm glad this game exists.

Legitimately, when I talk representations of sex in ttrpgs and why it's a necessary part of the medium I always cite this because the way it uses the format of Wretched and Alone is so creative and unique.
17. We the Shambling Ones
Obsessed with this. I love zombies and horror media (literally getting a masters on it) and this is such a cool and unique interpretation that speaks to my own experiences.

16. I'M A TRANS MAN AND I'M HERE TO FUCK (TRANS BODIES ARE SEXY)
Literally one of the most unique and interesting Wretched and Alone games I have ever seen. Does something so cool with the mechanics. Logan knocks it out of the park again.

15. Spectral Visitation Form 13-07b
This game is so cool conceptually. I love it when game designers play with form (pun intended) like this and I really want to do something similar at some point.

14. App Reviewing Service
I have a soft spot for when a game is trying to do something small and specific. App Reviewing Service is one of those games. It's such a niche idea and I love it.
koke-rpgs.itch.io/app-reviewin...
13. precogniscience
I owned a signed copy of this game because the designer is cool (and I'm friends with her). I love it when TTRPGS incorporate non-standard materials for their mechanics and this game is no exception!

12. Fiction in the Space Between
A game inspired by one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite designers? Count me in.

11. Clean Spirit
I'm pretty eager to play this, though I am always wary of games trying to fit every setting. I really like the premise of cleaning as dynamic-building.
cassi-mothwin.itch.io/clean-spirit
This is my superpower.
legit i think the most successful i have been at selling a ttrpg was when a random post about one of mine got a bunch of reblogs on tumblr. if you like something made by an independent creator (not even just ttrpgs! podcasts, webcomics, videos, whatever) you gotta be loud and annoying about it
10. Earth Mother, Sky Father
I was lucky to get to play this and even send a copy to my New Zealand aunts! It's a beautiful, thoughtful two-player

One of the nonfics I read this year had it's sources stashed on the author's website and you couldn't find it unless you typed in the specific url from the book. It honestly made me mistrust the contents of the book because it felt like they were trying to hide something.
9. Wiki Articles Are Wizards
I've been wanting to play this for years!! One of my goals for this year is to get a group together for it.

8. Hearts Unrivalled
I love love love this game! I actually wrote a bigfoot-themed hack of it I will someday release....

7. Darling, You're A Haunted House
Recent events in my life have gotten me interested in haunted/abandoned spaces again so I'm looking forward to playing this!
