I got my print copy of @upto4players.bsky.social @avivor.com @nnesk.bsky.social’s Crystal Heart collection today.

I’m really excited to reread it all again, as it remains one of my favorite gaming comics.

The story and art are wonderful, and the way it teaches Savage Worlds is inspired.

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

A "Recommended" Steam review screenshot: Time travel stories are usually not my favourite, but this game handled the whole timey-wimey shenanigans very nicely, and even made me THINK (!) about the metaphysical, philosophical, personal, and political implications of time travel. The gall!! The story was beautifully structured, the mechanical complexity of time jumps advancing hand-in-hand with the narrative complexity of the plot and character development, and touching on some interesting ideas for both. The voice acting was good, the animations were good (even if the style takes a second to get used to), and the environments were immersive and beautifully done. And the puzzles (because this is still a point & click game) were quite satisfying: never difficult or obscure enough to become frustrating, but always requiring a moment's contemplation, especially with the aforementioned timey-wimey shenanigans coming into play more with every chapter. Over all this was a beautiful, bittersweet, thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining journey.

Jono is not a huge TTRPG player (he loves the books though!)
But 11yo has been reading Crystal Heart by @avivor.com and @nnesk.bsky.social and now it’s a race against time to learn this fast enough to run a game tomorrow for two kids 😱

#ttrpg creators, anyone here knows someone who has experience with screen readers and PDFs, and can explain what are the regular requirements and decisions that need to be made? Some basic consultation needed. I CAN'T promise consultation pay YET, but I believe 1-2 hours are in the budget.

Keynote speech in #AdvX25 was spot on, hope it was recorded. By Jon Ingold of @inkle.co , about the actual process of creating a narrative. Some obvious similarities with (some schools of) ttrpg adventure design; mostly that it should start with finding the fun.

I haven’t GMed since, like, ‘93 but Aviv and Yehuda were great sports.
