Hello, station identification time!
In addition to just generally being delightful, I publish solo and group RPGs, which sometimes win awards or at least nominations.
Thread contains more info about a few of them, and you can find them all at bannerlessgames.itch.io

I like the "backrooms" videos not because they're spooky (mostly not!) but because I like to imagine brainstorm docs filled with notes like "room, but bigger than usual"

There's definitely a thing in game writing where "funny" or "witty" often seems to mean long digressions in the middle of dialog and you gotta cut that shit out, man, more is not more here
Incidentally I am enjoying BLOODLINES 2, but it's very thin. The real juice is in the main story (so far pretty interesting, even if the Funny voice is more verbose than amusing) and messing with Discipline combinations in combat.
Ah, shit... woke up in a mysterious and abandoned location, and I've lost my memory. I hope a series of gradually escalating challenges positioned between me and escape can instruct me how to open doors, use my powers, and double jump.

Reading ghost stories from a century ago a lot of them begin like "Seeing as I was beset by Nerves, my doctor prescribed I travel the Continent for three months" oh word yeah that does sound helpful. I didn't know that was an option

This really was quite the chill vibe, and even comes with a bespoke mashup from the good DJ himself.
VOID 1680 AM's most prolific DJ returns. Soothe yourself with the soft tones of DJ Corvis, broadcasting from a world where the lights are all winking out.
He's got callers and tunes from Lindsey Buckingham, Nick Cave, Tegan and Sara and more.
See you at 8 PM Central: bannerless.games/void-kwhy6
