Tonight I watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. I give it 5⭐️ because right before, my partner gave me ~historical context~ which made it especially chilling and saddening.

And the sets!!!

Thank you for this wonderful review! My lil game is out and causing problems 🥹💕

Slumber Party Séance by @sombrecita.bsky.social is a charming solo-TTRPG that asks a simple question:

"What would happen if your slumber party Ouija board session accidentally summoned the ghost of Regina George?"

It is a fun Y2K flashback in all the best ways!

1. Sunday Side Quest Issue #3 is cryptid themed.
2. I discovered a debate on whether dragons are considered cryptids or not.
3. Also, it has a micro TTRPG where you have to take care of Baby Mothman for an hour.

My game, "Slumber Party Séance," got a 5 star review and now I can pass peacefully.

What you didn't know? I'm secretly a Victorian ghost and my soul was tied to itchio. Cursed to forever report all you nasty nasty people to Visa and Mastercard.

I am now free.

Happy #solorpgday! I literally just found out about this but here’s my latest game, Slumber Party Séance! It’s like the Mortified show plus dice and social media.

It’s straight up diabolical my dudes.💕

The first issue of Sunday Side Quest dropped this morning! It’s a small (but mighty!) newsletter with games that you can print out and play—think the NYT Mini but subtract a paid subscription and add a solo micro-TTRPG. 💛🎲✏️📰

The year is 2031. Huddled in the leeward side of a hill to shelter myself from radioactive snow, I open my Survival Field Guide to double-check the best way to cook locust soup. The recipe says to use a possum broth. "@grok is this true?" I scribble in the margins with charcoal.
