An Infinity of Ships by @adamstation.bsky.social is one of the most fun & clever books of tables i've ever read, and seeing Adam is putting together another book of system-agnostic resources is SO exciting, you very much don't want to miss this if you like strange & wonderful NPCs + inspo tables!!

before i fill out a whole StartPlaying profile or similar—if i were to offer paid/pro-GMing (for, say, Mothership especially, maybe PLANET FIST, maybe Shadowrun 5e) would anyone out there be interested? alternatively, would you be interested if there were other systems on offer?

you can hear that game below if you want to check it out!

IHtHG doesn't *have* to be that kind of intense—i've seen a game that was elementary schoolers bickering in the hallway before trying out for the solo part in a school play—but it can be, and i have SUCH fondness for ruben & i's game

if you've ever heard me pitch I Have the High Ground in person, you've heard me recount the finale of this session on @theneoncaster.bsky.social's stream, in which i won & my victory was getting shot thru the heart & dying instantly b/c ruben's character cried over my body so i had the moral victory

(Also, if at any point that person could use some assistance with organizing & finding people for online blind playtests, that is quite literally the favor I was doing for someone before I tabbed over to Bluesky.)

Jumpgate Games @jumpgategames.itch.io · Jul 28

100%! Tons of con-goers are always excited to playtest games. (And for what it’s worth, there are *also* incredibly playtesting focused conventions like Metatopia.) Also, excited to hear this unknown third party might be assembling the bones of a TTRPG…

FUCKT UP NARRATIVE WAR GAME TIME YIPPEE HOORAY ETC

the cover for this is where the stars died, a non-linear narrative wargame for one to two players, by scott malthouse

The year is 5300AD and the galaxy is ablaze. The ones designed to aid us in our quest for human perfection rebelled and now our rotting flesh hangs from their chrome bones. They are the Basilisk - an artificial intelligence hivemind whose sole purpose is to reconfigure mankind into a vision of its self.

It is the new God.

The last worlds of humanity - now under the banner of Bastion, suffer constant bombardments, infiltration, and invasion from the Basilisk. Deep within the Tintagel Spire the Last Pendragon, monarch of man, leads his forces again the machine masses. But for every planet defended, one succumbs to reconfiguration.

This is where Bastion makes its last stand.
