I am returning to my TTRPG roots with a game I originally designed 3-4 years ago but never released.

RITE is a #TTRPG #zine game? experience? ritual? where up to four players take on discrete roles to create sacraments for midwinter.

Launching Oct. 14th
7 day campaign
Other RPGs as add-ons

This new AFI album is exactly the moody, dark wave background music I need while building out this dissertation slide deck.

However, I can understand, in the current state of things, if Erin didn’t feel comfortable expanding.

One hundred percent!! What an even more critical opportunity lost due to marketability and other factors.

Grateful that you don’t turn your back on these opportunities.

Just received word that my committee chair was “very pleased” by my dissertation!

PHEW

Now to hear from the rest of the committee. Maybe a doctor by the end of October! #PhDsoon

LISTEN. I want someone to make that game, too.

Someone also mentioned that “sacrament” is a christian term. Exceptionally good point to clarify.

This is not a christian game and has no ties to christianity. The term is used to identify the sacredness of nature and the world. I use the term ignorant of its christian roots.

Great clarifying question! This is absolutely not a christian game with no connections to it. Any connection from the word to the actual practice is purely out of my ignorance.

It’s an A6-sized zine shipped via USPS. I’ll drop in some stickers too!

There are limited copies of my other games (Portal, twiny, Reunification) you can add on as well.

I also have a wildly infrequent newsletter too you can hear about things. Thanks as always for supporting indie creators.

Thanks Tess! I love not-a-game things, but I know not everyone does. That's why I try to make it clear.

Appreciate the boost!

DONE! Thanks!

It's a 16-page, A6-sized RPG zine for $7, which includes shipping within the US and a few more bucks outside of the US.

The game is finished and ready to be printed. I just need the funds to do so and people who will want it!

This is my return to the #TTRPG #Zine world!

Okay fine!

RITE is an up-to-4 player game (experience?) to create 4 sacraments during midwinter. It's a bit ritualistic. It's a bit not-a-game.

You can follow it here. I'll probably launch in a week or so!

The Wait is a 3 to 8 player RPG about having conversations and remembering the legacy of someone who has just been placed on hospice at the hospital.

Why the F*** Did They Keep This is a solo journaling game about sifting through someone’s leftovers.
