I just finished devouring "Stealing the Throne" by the excellent @ickbat and it meets his usual high standards of quality game design. Let's unpack this giant mecha, shall we?

I think we ought to talk about Lumberjills, by the Mo Turkington of Unruly Designs. She led War Birds project, an award-winning anthology of games about women in World War II.

If you take a look at the project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unrulydesigns/lumberjills-a-war-birds-game you will see that the kickstarter campaign page is brilliant. (THREAD)

This post from the Indie Game Reading Club @Indiegamereadingclub is absolute gold and highlights that certain reoccuring elements of discourse online are more akin to koans or philosophy. https://www.indiegamereadingclub.com/indie-game-reading-club/ten-unanswerable-evergreen-discourses/

The other day I took a moment to read through "Broken Cities" by @comemartin (comemartin.itch.io) who publishes RPGs in both French and English. There's a lot of clever stuff in this little game worth your attention. "Broken Cities" is identified as an Urban and Quixotic Roleplaying Game, and echoes things like Calvino's "Invisible or Evil Hat Production’s "Don't Rest your Head". It presents a group of travelers to a strange, otherworldly city that seems to run on dream logic.

One week left to help fund the Spark Designer's Guide. If we got $100 a day more, we would hit the next goal and double the content. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/spark-system-reference-guide

We are halfway through the Kickstarter campaign for the Spark System Reference Guide and it's going well. If you would be willing to toss in five dollars to support this initiative we could reach the next goal and expand the guide. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/spark-system-reference-guide?

My hot-take; you can actually do a surprisingly decent amount of layout with a basic word processing program these days if you know the techniques. This is what I could produce with word alone.

Ok. It looks like we have hit the minimum funding goal for the Spark System Reference Guide and I will be continuing to write it. Now we get to see how long that guide should be. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/spark-system-reference-guide?

The Spark System Reference Guide kickstarter is now live. If this little project funds I will be able to invest more time into creating a useful, free SRD with guidance on how folks can adapt the now public-domain Spark system to tell their own stories.
