The Nibiru #TTRPG is a journaling game of amnesiacs lost in a colossal, Mesopotamian space station, seeking for the memories of their past while trying to adapt to a skyless world that holds no future promises.

Here's my MEGA pitch:

Want a custom Machine Age supplement or micro game, I will make you one. Rules:

1) For every three pages, you need to commission one piece of $75 art. Min 4.

2) You pick the genre and game. If it's #iHunt, I will front $25 per.

3) I will sell it. But you get it free.

I've started to play a new ttrpg.

Zephyr: An Anarchist Game of Fleeting Identities

It's interesting. The game/story revolves around fulfilling weighted obligations. And being little emotion filled wood people. No dice, just movement of colored gems.

Secondly, @11dragonkid11.bsky.social ' review is the most comprehensive about Zephyr's mechanics, and it's the review I'd recommend if you want to give your group and/or yourself a rules-refresh - since its a fantasy adventure game with unconventional systems!

Lastly, the review Matt and Rob from @dmofnone.bsky.social is fantastic in itself, but particularly at diving deep into the themes, the research behind the game, and its influences. I feel this one is ESPECIALLY valuable to narrators!

First of all, @cozyrpgreviews.bsky.social 's review, is a great all-rounder intro to the themes and mood of the game!

I just can't stress enough how heartfelt reviews like @cozyrpgreviews.bsky.social 's don't just help a lot keeping the lights on, but also they stand over years as anchors to hold on to, especially during dark times, to find refuge and newfound value in what we made.
