Late Pledges for Hit the Road, Jack! by @percypropa.bsky.social are now live! I love this solo, biker duel game, and the WIP art from @feralcharlie.bsky.social is turning out absolutely incredible.

Hit The Road, Jack! - @percypropa.bsky.social & @rvgames.company

Kyle produces excellent content in this space, and this game looks like an absolute ton of fun! It's a solo/duet game about the adrenaline rush of the chase, and it is SO CLOSE to its goal. 🏍️🏃🏜️

Two days until our Jacks hit the road for #Pocketopia, and if you back you'll be receiving a suite of incredible major arcana tarot cards from @feralcharlie.bsky.social that you can use to play!!!

Join the party over at: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

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.

Orgy of the Blood Leeches irl! My WIP module is about a militant sex workers union solving the murder of a trans woman in the midst of chaos. It’s more important than ever to make uncompromising, uncomfortable art that’s rooted in actual political struggle.

Following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. So actionists from the Mexican sex workers union stormed the judicial building.

I def treat it this way. I was inspired by the Solo Protocol in Cloud Empress so much that I adapted it to Mothership proper, and it works this way. watt is expanding this protocol further in the new Cloud Empress expansion.

It’s A for me, but I prefer player emulation over gm emulation. I prefer running games to playing them, but I don’t have a regular local group, so I play solo to scratch that itch.
