This is shaping up to be a chonky box 📦

Thanks! This is actually a boxed game rather than a book, with a brand new system that uses cards, dice and maps. Still set in the same ‘world’ as notorious but so many more possibilities! 😁

Oh gaaad had to refresh my memory! But the answer is: they add one useful item each (2 items) 🚀

As someone that loves Notorious/Outsider, boardgames like Earthborne Rangers, and everything the duo Jason & Jack come up with, this project is very much targeted at me, and I can't wait for its launch! Check it out if you love #sologames, sci-fi, Torben's great art, and lots and lots of cards.

Heavy Weighs the Crown is now on itch.io!

A game of magical crowns, the monarchs who wear them and the realms they rule over together.

It incorporates some journalling and drawing as you found a kingdom, describe its age of glory then witness its ruination.

In the next week or so I’m hoping to launch a new game and announce my ambitious new Kickstarter. Safe to say I’m a bit stressed.

the fact that we dont talk about games like arcs and root when talking about artistic/thematic/political expression in tabletop games points to a fundamental weakness of rpg-centered games discourse

This is so good! 😆 The MS paint art really suits the vibe. Especially enjoyed the nemesis and ship hunter/host roles 😁

Did some GM prep today for mythic bastionland and now I am *impatient* to run it. I say this as someone who has GM’d approximately two games, ever.

That may only be the title font - I didn’t do the final layout so I’d need to ask Vee.

That shouldn’t be the case unless you’re based in the EU! I’ve had to temporarily suspend EU shipping until I can sort out some new shipping regulations.

Here’s a direct link to the Revolt! boxed set. Does this work?

Found a new opening pitch for Revolt! c/o @friede.bsky.social 😁

Dr. Emily Friedman @friede.bsky.social · Jul 21

I haven’t put it in front of my players-most-likely-to-be-baffled (even I was initially surprised at having winners/losers), but the odds are good that I’ll try.

Definitely confirmed that this is what would happen if Root & The Quiet Year had a baby in their throuple with For the Queen.
