My Kickstarter is live! Dreampunk is a tabletop roleplaying game you play with surreal art cards! Struggle with yourself and an uncanny dreamworld while using cards to inspire unpredictable, improvisational play and strange environments. Back it now: https://t.co/00YDBgYnqB

@sasha_reneau Maybe not quite what you're looking for but thought I'd mention this classic LARP from 1994 where you play as tarot arcana: https://t.co/8E7rGgf5jt

tabletop RPGs are not uniquely or exceptionally "storytelling games" (although storytelling can occur during them, and we can tell stories about what happened) and by focusing on storytelling we miss out on a bunch of other important aspects of game design

my darling @rubylavin and i went through the Wanderhome PDF and annotated nearly every single page in order to create the DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY, in which we reflect on the 3 years its been since we first made wanderhome, and all our thoughts from that time

Behold, we have an awesome fan supplement for Sig: City of Blades that deserves your attention. It's a neat replacement for the Fallout system adapted from the Trouble Engine. https://t.co/xtiQNNg4NV

ive become increasingly enamored with game mehanics that dont tell you what to do with them — rules that go like "here's how you turn someone into a frog" without worrying about when one might want to turn someone into a frog

[worms are immune to death @geostatonary]

@xavid, a friend of mine, just released an introductory adventure for Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, To Rob Death's Domain! You play a bunch of gay criminals stealing a wishing jewel from Death

[Xavid 🐺 @xavid]

Just posted my Chuubo’s introductory heist one-shot, To Rob Death’s Dominion. Steal the jewel that justifies existence from the Bleak Academy, or fall into chaos trying! This is your chance to see what all the fuss is about Chuubo's! https://t.co/LX5ZZKwJfA

🧵To Our Fellow #SagAftraMembers:

It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. (1/11)

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

SAG-AFTRA members have approved a strike against the video game industry with 98.32% voting Yes

Companies included are Insomniac, Disney, WB, Epic Games, Activision, and EA

This does not mean that they will go on strike. The next bargaining session is scheduled for this week

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The ruling is retroactive, and the case pertains to the rampant union-busting conducted by Trader Joe's leading up to the April election at the NYC Essex Crossing location.

Dreampunk's in this alongside a bunch of other great games!

A good friend of mine is raising funds for top surgery because the NHS is delaying him; myself and some other friends have put together a bundle of tabletop games, larps, and short fiction to help raise additional funds for him!
