Every week, something great for you and your group
So! Deltarune, if I were smart I'd have written this around 2 or so months ago! Unfortunately, you're stuck with a lazy writer, so sorry! Now the thing with Deltarune is that its an "Ongoing" game, we don't really know what its really about thematically, or how a lot of its plot beats are gonna fully pan out. So I'm gonna instead focus on games that can replicate vibes and the idea of travelling…
10k Swords against heaven das a lotta swords. Genre: Cultivation, Marxist? Touchstones: Exalted, Das Kapital What is this game?: 10,000 swords against heaven is a self described "Maoist Xianxia" about cultivators rising up against an evil imperialist force that uses people's lives as an energy source How's the gameplay?: 10k Swords uses a 2d6 system, though unlike something like PBTA you're often…
oh shit, I need to make a post for the blog OK so I guess here is like some things I don’t really like I guess uhh 1: cracker island Yeah, everyone like talks about how it’s a return to basics for Gorillaz. This is a gorillaz album by the way. And like I don’t know I just don’t like it. It felt a bit generic. Like in the totality of their work, it just kinda felt like, it was weird. uhhh. it felt…
SO! Throughout the history of this blog a combination of a theoretical journalistic integrity I don't really have and made up rules I made have prevented me from talking about a lot of really cool projects that still deserve the spotlight, even if I really like them otherwise. So, let's gather them! lets just put some of em' together and tell you that even though my standards are dumb, yours…
This is another experimental type thing, where I do a less structured (still structured!) more review-ey type thing. I know TTRPG reviews are Dime a Dozen, but I feel I can usually have some interesting insights into things like this. A SYMPHONY OF FEAR Eat the Reich is a TTRPG by Grant Howitt, a very respected figure in the field for his many, many single-page games. It is published by Rowan,…
yazeba's B&B I know I should have done this on September 15th. but doing this on Halloween sadly beat it out as a bit Genre: Sitcom adjacent? I guess? What is this game?: Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast is a game about playing as the guests and employees at a Bed and Breakfast in the middle of nowhere where its always perpetually September 15th How's the gameplay?: Yazeba's core gameplay is pretty…
I feel like a lot of the time I go on tumblr I see people with very creative ideas but no outlet, its a shame. Fortunately, there's a lot of resources out there for people willing to look! and I have some right here that you all can peruse at your own leisure "I wanna make a TTRPG but I can't draw!" While right off the bat this is a bad excuse because you can make a ttrpg with no art, if you…
DOUBLE CROSS Genre: Shonen, Combat Touchstones: Shonen anime, Superhero Shit What is this game?: DOUBLE CROSS (all caps) is about being an OVERED powerful people infected by a RENEGADE virus, trying to fight against people with the same virus who have delved too deep and lost their mind, the game's tone is very shonen-ey, mixed with a hidden world aspect as the Renegade virus isn't common…
Second place in the poll was HTTYD! There's, in my opinion, two distinct appeals about dragon riding settings: High Flying combat, and Raising an extremely powerful buddy that's bonded to you, and we'll go over both! Unlike Magical girls, dragon riding isn't actually as popular in TTRPG spaces, so we'll need to go over games that mechanically fit but don't fit flavor wise, but I'm sure most people…
I asked on Tumblr recently if people would be willing to see this style of content where we talk about different ttrpgs suited to playing in specific settings or media, and people said they'd be down! and voted Madoka Magica to be the first one! So we're starting with it A quick disclaimer is that I actually really don't like Madoka, I have some personal beefs with it and I think its generally Gen…
