Hi!👋I'm a trans gal (she/her) & tabletop game designer inspiring introspection & fun.

Check out our Patreon/blog --> https://www.patreon.com/BethAndAngelMakeGames
For the #48WordRPGJam, I made Ephemeral Glimmers.

Probably the most depressing thing I've made lol; it captures my bipolar really well, and it ends with hope 🧡

And it's free! You can even read it in your browser thanks to Electric Zine Maker!

These are WONDERFUL, I absolutely cannot recommend them enough. Tbh everything Xoe does is incredible, but these platonic valentines always make for an epic mail day 🙌
It is almost time for platonic Valentines. Make sure to give me your physical location if you want one!

I'm very excited for this, and have a few ideas in mind:

* An Alan Wake (@remedygames.com) inspired Lasers & Feelings hack called Oceans & Spirals
* A No Man's Skyish (@nomansbsky.bsky.social) space exploration TTRPG
* An inventory/shop management game inspired by Moonlighter (@digitalsungames.com)
Woohoo! The Video Game Hacks Tabletop Jam 2 is now LIVE!

Please note, this game isn't for video games. It's for tabletop games with themes, mechanics, and tropes usually found in video games :)

Have fun and I can't wait to see what you create!

Goodness, I didn't realize I've been gone for so long til I saw unread notifications from September, when we did Free Zine Week...

So yeah, hi again! 🙋‍♀️ I'm hoping to be more social, even if I frequently run away because I'm spiraling in depression. 🙃

We took part in Zine Month 2024 (and we're still fulfilling it... 🤦‍♀️) and it was AWESOME (aside from this 2-year-old debt lol, but that's on us).

ANYWAY, this sounds like an awesome stream, and we're excited to give it a watch 🙌
How much should I playtest?
Where do I get art?
What do I charge for shipping?
WHAT IS A ZINE!?

Tuesday the 20th at 8p et join Tony from @plusoneexp.bsky.social @samsorensen.bsky.social & Yeet from @9thlevelgames.bsky.social as we answer any & all #ZiMoQuestions!

Whitney Tsai, Emily Vincent, and Danielle Reynolds have all been on my podcast talking about the effect of tariffs. Combined with names in Suzanne's thread below, I don't want to hear about how white males are the only voices available to discuss. You just need to give them the airtime to speak.
If you want a sense of how white male dominated the tabletop industry still is… look at who’s getting interviewed by media outlets to discuss the tariff crisis.

You might want to look at beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io 's submission to #LDJAM #LD57 if you're into #boardgames!

it's a really nice take by cool people on some solo push your luck/blackjack adjacent design, wrapped in a narrative campaign. Insane amount of work for 72h + really nicely crafted!

I couldn't be prouder of our Ludum Dare game! It's inspired by Alan Wake, but entirely its own thing. A FREE 40-page solo campaign card game, the game explores the difficulty of resisting greed & missing knowing what's "enough" in fantastical mines.

If you're one of those "where are the protests" because the news has been ignoring them the past two months, there are 25,000 people gathered in DC today, and 20+ blocks full of people in Manhattan, and that's just two cities.

The protests have been happening; you're just being lied to again.

Our #LDJAM game is now a campaign game! We've got the first two rounds down, and the core gameplay is set. Now we just have some additional rounds to go, and eventually we need to convert the Google Doc into Canva and fancy it up
