Heyo #gencon crew!
Sadly, we won't be attending this year to catch up on some rest and keep working on the new book.
BUT, you can find our books at the @wetinkgames.bsky.social table (Booth 2460) and the @plusoneexp.bsky.social table (Booth 449 - I think...)

Four days till Jack gets run off the road. We're at over 60% but there's still some time to go. For $13 you'll get the print and play of the game including a PDF, and for $23 you'll get the PHYSICAL including tarot cards by @feralcharlie.bsky.social!

Hit the Road, Jack!

Hit the Road, Jack is a solo/duet game of adrenaline rush and creeping terror. Of chasing and being chased, of being forced to face your sins or to leave them all behind. It is a game of cat and mouse...

Three tarot cards. On the left is the chariot, which shows the shadow of a motorcycle. In the middle is Justice, with a helmeted motorcyclist flinging money about to be hit by a truck. On the right is the fool, with a motorcyclist on their motorbike whose shadow stretches out over a flower.

I posted a blog about my attempt at solo dungeon-crawling with @feralcharlie.bsky.social 's Vyrmhack. tl;dr it was a whole heap of fun and scratched a *lot* of my itches for Traveller-style 2d6 resolution with various combat sicko affordances.
Really great stuff.

Preface - Infinite Undevelopment

My usual Sunday night game didn’t go ahead, so I did something I’d been wanting to do for a while - finally use Vyrmhack for something. For those
