Does anyone know any good roll/flip and draw games that 6yos might like? Like a roll and write, except you draw instead?
I was watching a top 10 video and MiniNewt walked in while they were going over Cartographers. She got super excited over the idea of drawing as part of a game.

Sidenote: I'm taking some quick notes for a new game that I hope I'll be able to decipher later when I'm actually able to work on it.

Hey folks, I'm still going to do those reviews for the games in the Folklore Jam 2025. MiniNewt's been pretty sick though so it's been hard to give the games the focus they deserve.
Good news is she's on the mend, so I should be able to get to them soon.

Added a full page version to the Drake in a Pouch game page, printed out the Tea Harvest game boards so I can cut out the components and toy around with them for a multiplayer version, and updated the Search for Sasquatch rules to test them out with my game group tomorrow!
Not bad for a Friday!

Have to wait to playtest the latest tweaks to Search for Sasquatch. In the meantime, I can't decide what I want to work on next 😶🌫️ Anyone else dealing with choice paralysis for game work?

Great news!
We played Search for Sasquatch today with some friends and it was a huge hit! Going to tweak the points just a touch and try two decks of playing cards for 4+ players next.

Spent the last few days working hard on a different game x3 I got so excited over it that I couldn't help myself!
It's not complete yet, but I think the hardest part is over - the roll tables ;)

As a fan of John Wick and this amazing creator, you know I had to grab this up x)
Someone made John Wick themed hack of Boundless (my free D6-based soulslike OSR tabletop rpg) and it looks amazing.
Their mission generator is on point and they used the Boundless Pool as a way to track ammos in weapons which is great.
And, their game is free!

This is just a friendly reminder that a kind and honest compliment about a game creator's game costs just a bit of time, but can work wonders to help us.
It's a labor of love with - for the majority - very little money to show for it. So thank you to everyone who's helped with honest joy.

So this isn't the official review, but I just want to say that I'm so excited by the games submitted by @ttrpgkids.com for the Folklore 2025 Jam and I really, *really* hope they'll be up for creating more in this line because WOW!

Had a day of errands, but tomorrow I'll start tweaking with Search for Sasquatch more and send it to some friends to try. Scoring can be one of the hardest things to self-test 😅
I'll also take breaks with some of the games from the Folklore 2025 Jam. Keep your eyes open for some reviews this week!
