The factions in Mechritter are squabbling gangs of pests trying to survive a changing high street. Will you get the gangs on the same page or be thrown into all out fighting?

My expression here is that of a woman who scoffed when her partner described her as competitive then kept chanting "Die Blitzer! Die!" at every opportunity

A happy few hours was spent tonight guiding two new coaches through their first game of Blood Bowl. With any luck, the beautiful game might have spawned two new fanatics here...

Once I was walking home and I ran across a fox and two cats all sitting in a loose circle facing each other. When I walked closer they all turned to look at me and then left, like I'd interrupted a meeting.

To me, chanelling that is what making Mechritter is about

Wait a sec-

Hey if you're a London retailer I can now offer free delivery on any wholesale orders!

Kayla Dice @ratwave.uk · 25d

I see I see I see, very little sympathy for the women who just got access to free trains

Kayla Dice @ratwave.uk · 26d

Now that all London trains are free (for me) I can pool all the money I save and buy a single extra pint in London pub

I think Caught in the Remix has some of my best card mechanic work, and is honestly my favourite character creation of any of my games.

Kayla Dice @ratwave.uk · 19d

NEW: Caught in the Remix is a tarot-based escape from an infinite extradimensional nightclub, with a playlist acting as a timer before the environment remixes around you. Can you manage your stress enough to make it out with your friendship intact?

Interested in this blog post but don't feel like reading it? Would you prefer to listen to it being read in a hard to place accent?

I have a new blog post going behind the scenes on the third part of my musical trilogy: a new edition of Follow Me in the Night.

The blog is also up in an audio format, which if you enjoy let me know so I can tell if it's worth the effort to keep doing

Looks at changing the game over to Tarot, overhauling the instructional text, being explicit about ambiguity and also previews the layout of the game.

This review of I'm with the Damned over on Library of Words is great and really hits the heart of the game.

You can read the review here (libraryofwords.com/im-with-the-...) and buy the game on Itch (ratwavegamehouse.itch.io/im-with-the-...)

Plus, the game’s use of music is sublime. While the idea of everyone listening to a song together may sound like a gimmick on paper, during play, it leads to some of the most transcendently memorable role-playing experiences I’ve ever had. Not only does having everyone listen to actual music enhance the game’s rockstar theme, but the music also dramatically adds to the scenes, making everything feel much more emotional and impactful.

It's a story of one woman and her fight to make her name physically larger

To Embrace a Swamp Creature, the credit is at the bottom in a small font.

Out of the Fold cover, the name is at the bottom in a fairly slim font, but now all caps.

Nemesis Retribution cover, the name credit is at the top right in a medium size font (bigger than tagline smaller than title)

I'm with the Damned cover, name credit is back at the bottom but now nearly the same size as the title.

Each character class in Caught in the Remix has a unique ability that helps them cope with stress and manipulate cards. The ways each handles stress invites a clash of personalities.

Funny thing about my musical trilogy of games is I guess they're semi-impossible to feature on an actual play without inviting a dmca strike
