You Should Play Gales of Nayeli

Gales of Nayeli has been one of the games I've been most looking forward to, and it's out today! Here are my thoughts on the game from some early access I had. I really recommend this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVwr...
This week's hex in my hex crawl project is my starting town, Silver Hills. The town is defined by its internal struggle to reject or accept the rule of angels, and its mistreatment of political dissidents in the past coming back to bite it in the present.

Silver Hills: Mining, New Beginnings, and a Struggle for Power
At the end of the grand rail lies a town at the very edge of the angel's sphere of influence. Whether you're looking for honest work or running from the past, there's a place for you in Silver Hills.

My players often want to build a town or a base, but don't like getting bogged down in the minutiae.
Here's my take on a rules light, quick to manage town building system that keeps the focus on adventuring, and is easy to expand.

Still a work in progress but I published all the player facing rules for my Wild West fantasy ttrpg on my blog! It is an OSR style game heavily inspired by Into the Odd and the GLOG.
I'll post other TTRPG and perhaps video game related stuff there as well :)

I've been working on some homebrew ttrpg rules for when it's my turn to run for our rpg group. I decided to make a homemade physical core rulebook I can hand out to the players. It was a lot of fun!

Tonight, our donation campaign for Point of Pride hit my goal of $1,000. Meaning including my match and my company agreeing to match up to $1,000, we will donate a minimum of $2,200 to support gender affirming care for trans people by the end of the month!

I really enjoyed this level of Unfated! There's a download link for the level in the video description if you want to try it yourself!
If you like SRPGs, you should give Unfated a follow, I think it's going to be a good one :)

#Unfated has had its first public gameplay showcase on @actuallizard.bsky.social Youtube channel, and it meant so much to us! Thank you anyone who came out, and we're so excited for you to see more when we have everything together!
