Grimwild, from @odditypress.com, evokes medieval fantasy while catering to groups who want to draw more narrative from the party itself. "Designer J.D. Maxwell has produced clever mechanics that reward cooperation and a little friendly bickering with your fellow adventurers."

Heck yeah, failure is a wonderful chance to narrate how poorly things go for your character in a way that you'd find interesting to continue playing off of.

Then again, I usually "play to find out how horribly things can go."

A while back, I mentioned that I had really enjoyed Grimwild by @odditypress.com, and there is a current game jam running on Itch and I decided to write something for it. Officially release now - The Burning of the Free Port of Dohn Amuran!

The Wild Frontier of Venture, my weird west game of roaming around a small, rugged world as agents, marshals, outlaws, or mystics is now live on Backerkit.

The game is Made with Moxie, the same system that powers Grimwild.
