another #TTRPG I tried out recently is this: akavel.itch.io/wanderer

what I like best from the game is that it got "motif tables" that you can fill on your own, making the game like a hotpot in which you can throw in anything and everything you like :3c

Today, I finally finished reading Zeynep Tufekci's article about why GoT's last season SUCKS. It covers about sociological storytelling and why it's important to have more of them in our culture.

It’s not just bad storytelling—it’s because the storytelling style changed from sociological to psychological

I'm hoping to make something that is cozy, playable solo, and focus on character growth and finding connection and relationship... let's hope it'll eventually get finished uwu)v

so, those were my research material. it's been quite fun to learn and find new games. I don't know when my own game would be finished, but...

Eggy Sebby @sbhunter28.bsky.social · Aug 27

I saved my fav as the last... the Princess World Academy Adventure! It's like magical girl and magic school cross over game and it's fabulous as fuck *-*)b

AND- though the academy game is intended to be lighthearted, it has a source book that explains more about the chaotic world setting, along with another adjacent game that deals with the darker themes... because, ofc, what's a magical girl adventure without some psychological horror uwu

Eggy Sebby @sbhunter28.bsky.social · Aug 27

Also, the rulebook explanations are quite clear, it's where I finally understand how to use some common mechanics in PbtA and Forged in the Dark like how to use clocks and flashbacks

Eggy Sebby @sbhunter28.bsky.social · Aug 27

it's- where do I start. I fricken love it. I love magical girls, coz they're sparkly and powerful, and I love magical school coz it's quirky. And now it's double quirky. I know it's designed for younger player and experienced GMs but- I'm so tempted to play it

The author, Jordan Palmer, also has a bunch of other interesting games on their page worth checking out. One that catch my eyes is a game about wizards that time travel to prevent robot uprising apocalypse :3c

It's less about saving the future, but rather about the cost and loss of that victory

Eggy Sebby @sbhunter28.bsky.social · Aug 27

Second on my list is this: Arcane Academy. If you like HarryPotter-esque adventure of solving mysteries with a group of friends, then this is your game! A very fiction-first game with simple mechanics, and customizable traits and spells

The game isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it's still good for me to learn, I guess. It has gangs, factions, and breaking school laws uwu) if you are the kind that would enjoy the dealing of underworld kind of tone (except as a highschool girl in magical school) then this might just be your game

Eggy Sebby @sbhunter28.bsky.social · Aug 27

All the games I got on the list (there are 4 of them) will mostly be PbtA games, as the game I want to make is also more story-driven rather than battle crunchy or simulation. And the first on the list is: Dusk Academy.

I've been kinda engrossed in... a "study" these days... because I have an idea for a TTRPG, and my autistic brain can't do it without some RESEARCH! So, I'll be posting some cool games I found on my research, since my game will be about magic school the games will be about them too :3c

Depends ig, if you are told that by a deer, it's probably good to interpret it as "you are as baffling as a fatal tragedy I should have expected when I wander in the middle of the night's dark."
