She/Her

I am a tabletop game developer. I work mainly with rules lite narrative titles. My largest title to date is "Friendship, Effort, Victory," published by Far Horizons.

Currently, my major projects are:

  • Petmon, a rules light Digimon-inspired, narrative focused diceless game
  • Wild Hunt, an original variant on Fate Core that uses dice steps in place of Fate Dice that takes inspiration from works like RWBY.

My brothers and sisters in christ, to all the PbtA Devs, because we seem to be the only motherfuckers who do this, do not say "the playbooks are available online so we aren't putting them in the print book."

For the love of god, pay the extra 2 dollars a book to print them. Otherwise, in twenty years when every download link to them is gone forever because the internet is ephemeral, your game will be literally unplayable.

I've run the official Avatar TRPG, Avatar Legends, a few times.

Overall, I think it's good. It's basic moves and playbook moves do a good job of reinforcing the themes of Avatar and I am glad they added a combat system since a lot of people were worried about that with PBTA.

My two complaints are:

I'm going to be really obnoxious about Discworld because I'm reading it and its a hyper fixation now.

Be prepared.

Wait, Sandworms eat humans. Humans are 70% water. How doesn't that kill them?

I decided to release the System Reference Document on Itch.io today to make it official and put it out on Creative Commons. I will likely follow up with Drivethru RPG shortly.

Now, "Magnificent Heroic Roleplaying" is out on an open license. You are free to use its text as you so wish to make your own derivative works. It is a retroclone based on an out-of-print superhero game from the 2010s.

"You see from beyond the foliage a large set of horns and a long, hairy body. Due to your ranger training, you recongize it as a dire-deer!"

"You mean a Moose?"

Did they simplify M&M3e for Valiant Adventures or am I tripping?

Time to farm engagement with a geninue hottake that I have had for years:

DARK SOULS AND SOULS-LIKE ARE OVER RATED. STOP COMPARING EVERY GAME TO IT. IT IS GOOD BUT NOT PERFECT. F OFF.

You know what's a fun scifi idea?

With weed being legal, research discovers that weed has evovled to make humans who consume it NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT as a way of making it more likely for humans to cultivate it by convincing others humans to try it.

I showed this on the discord and the first reply was "why does Rarity have the worst stats?"

No idea, best pony is Fluttershy anyway.

Philosophical question: If you were doing a Kaiju game, what would your players be playing? The Kaiju or the Humans?

If you were going to run a Kaiju game, what would the player characters be? The Kaiju or the humans?

How do you get tested for ADHD? I'm starting to think I have it.

I want to remind everyone, especially today, of the amazing title, Mutant In The Now by @ARBco

https://arbco.itch.io/mutants-in-the-now

It's a great deal, a great game, and it all comes from a great person.

Does anyone know if they made a second Tankonbon of Clock Strikes? I can't find it on Amazon.

I just did a playtest for Wild Hunt. I thought it went well. But, I'm reeling.

According to my players, apparently, the nature of the magic resource, Dust, as a particle that makes up all life and also powers everything in the setting and being one's soul AND the idea of the schools as government -- which I came up with because it felt weird how Hogwarts had so much power as just some random school -- are both basically "His Dark Materials."

I've been drinking but one playtester said that the setting is grimmdark, but a bleak setting where salvation is technically only possible through death (it's really about having a near death experience) is maybe super bleak.

Because of Saberspark, I saw this Christian animation today about the crucifixion.

Isn't a bleak, broken world that can only be escaped through death technically the Christian world view?

What is your favorite D&D setting? Official and unofficial?

Mine is Eberron by Keith Baker.

It's a wonderfully unique world. Where most fantasy dwells in the Medieval, Eberron is set during post-WW1. The world is recovering from essentially a nuclear strike that wiped out a nation. All the species have elements of 20th century European and American society. Religion is a lot more true to life. And everything in D&D has a place somewhere: if its a 3.5 sup, its in Eberron.

I had an idea: Laska Fagioli. You make pasta fagioli but you use a laska base tor the soup.

Looking over Marvel Multiverse, I'm kind of suprised. Everyone said the playtest was a dumpster fire, but this looks okay. I heard there were a lot improvements and I suppose it shows. It isn't replacing MHR or Masks or any of my other favorite superhero games, but this does look fine.

That said, the fact they NEVER plan to release a PDF and will only sell a roll20 module that will turn off THE SECOND the license expires and they're charhing 50 for it, more than the p.book costs is wild.

Did you know...

Guinness Book of World Records is really just a novelty book brand. It doesn't actually keep track of a lot of details or records. It mainly makes money by offering "record breaking" services to insecure billionaires and entertainers/companies looking for a publicity stunt. They'll devise a thematic "world record" that they can complete, help you complete it, give you an "authenticatior" to confirm it, and then help you market and publish your record.

Exalted is an amazing setting married to a system that doesn't fully play to its strengths. I have seen thousands of hacks to play it and none do it perfect. Is a perfect Exalted game even possible?

I snapped today. I had a super toxic work enviroment at my new job. I went there for a 50% raise, but it turned out awful. Racist with slurs being said in the office, paychecks were consistently late, managers calling workers "asshole" and "dickhead." It was bad.

So, my plan was originally bounce in a month to get a technical year out of it, but I gave up and just did my two weeks today.

Now that high definition is standard, why do we still call it high definition?
