Your AI game sucks. The label just means I don't have to refund it after you hid all the AI in the screenshots.

I did a play demo with this and it rips. It's rare to get a game that focuses so intimately on the bodies of its characters, your meat will fail in the course of adventure. Hinterlight captures this lets you mark your character with their scars. It's juice all the way down!
Hinterlight: A gmless gothic worldbuilding ritual & #TTRPG for 3-5 players is LIVE over on Kickstarter!

Pledge now at ttrpg.link/hinterlight to support @robbiaburns.bsky.social & the G//C crew.

We have invited a member of the wretched fae to maintain a megathread here with all details:

A gothic worldbuilding ritual & roleplaying game that sews seeds of adventure as you tell the tale of your demise!

#over/under was not one of a kind. I have been playing similar games for the last EIGHT YEARS. Today, I give this medium a name - "Live Text Roleplay" - and help you build a community of your own.

Check out this awesome write-up if you want to see what the hell was going on inside Union HQ during the Death of Sanyang saga. Really cohesive and well written. #over/under
I'm going to call this a first draft otherwise I'll never post it.

3 part description of Sanyang's death and the subsequent fallout from the perspective of Alcyone. I tried to make it understandable for someone who didn't play as well.

Inspired by some great discussion on Q-UP from @austinwalker.bsky.social, @notquitereal.bsky.social, @sylvibullet.bsky.social, @molleindustria.org and other folks, I wrote a short piece on the design inspiration for Q-UP and what developing the game meant to me

I made a free rules hack for ORC BORG this month that lets you fly spaceships around and crash them into one another (and/ or the ground). It's pay what you want on rollinkunz.itch.io . Here's the layout and illustration process 💛

Hey, remember I was writing a paper on #Over/Under? I cleaned it up and its ready for public consumption! (Well, as ready as I'll get; I'm not used to sharing academic writing)

Huge thank you again to everyone who helped with this project, and HUGE thank you to Sam, Sean, and the mod team ✨

Following #over/under I had a lot of feelings about play, about searching for the "right" system, and about making time enjoy whimsy, even when things are dire. Waking up the old blog (which also has notes from my work on Dissident Whispers uhhh 5 years ago?)
