@HeyeBodo Heute gerade eine Runde #GURPS #DSA geleitet. Sehr rollenspiellastig und das mit den Jungs (nur eine Spielerin), die das nicht so sehr drauf haben. Nur ein Faustkampf auf einer Theaterbühne in einem Impro-Stück (in-game), dafür sehr viel Drama und Nachforschungen. Ach ja den Blattschuss des Halbelfen auf eine Meuchelmöderin hätte ich fast vergessen, aber Kampf würde ich das nicht nennen. War sehr stimmungsvoll.

Bin immer noch dabei das (schon recht verhausregelte) System zu verbessern, aber bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden damit.

Die "Mädels"-GURPS DSA Gruppe (nur ein Spieler) steht später im Monat an. Da hatten wir in den letzten drei Runden nur einen Kampf, ansonsten nur soziales Rollenspiel und Hinweise finden.

Was ich trotzdem mal wieder gern machen würde, wäre mein GURPS #TheOwlHouse Komplettkonversion. Das ist dann wesentlich weniger nah am eigentlichen Grundgerüst des Systems dran und mehr ein Mix mit #MageTheAscension. Hab ich relativ gut auf die Serie abgestimmt, aber da muss man aber auch mal die Fans dafür finden.

Ne zweite Session #Goblinville wollte ich auch gerne mal spielen und mit der #BubbleGumshoe Session ist es letztes Jahr leider nichts geworden. Das System ist etwas doof, wenn plötzlich ein*e Spieler*in weniger dabei ist.

Auf meine Hardcopy #YazebasBedAndBreakfast warte ich auch noch. Muss mal wieder zum #FLGS ...

Ach ja, und mal wieder selbst mit guter SL spielen, wäre auch mal wieder schön ^-^

I've just had a look at my Bubble Gumshoe series on IFDB, and this is the first time it's struck me how neatly the cover image for Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata? blends in with the others. It was supposed to follow the same basic format, but at a glance (and particularly at this small size) it's not immediately obvious that the latest cover image is an actual photograph while the others were assembled digitally from multiple images. #BubbleGumshoe #InteractiveFiction

Here's a slightly belated write-up of the results to IFComp 2025 and how my games fit into them. Includes shocking revelations about the authorship of not one, but TWO entries in this year's comp!

IFComp 2025 Results

The IFComp results are in – announced through an online awards ceremony about a week ago – and Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata? has taken 12th place: my best ever result (by a modest margin). …

I've been doing a lot more work on "Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata?" lately. It's now possible to confess your sins in the Church of the Immaculate Confection, and you may very well want to: it's hard to investigate a murder in Sugar City without getting one's hands a little dirty.

I'd love to have something to share for Screenshot Saturday today, but all my recent progress has been rather spoilery.

Bubble Gumshoe has a beloved mentor who's just two days from retirement. This cannot possibly end badly.

Powerthirst references? In MY candy-coated film noir parody car chase? It's more likely than you think. #ScreenshotSaturday #BubbleGumshoe #WhoWhackedJimmyPiñata #Powerthirst
One of my favourite things about writing Bubble Gumshoe games is finding opportunities to bung in sweets that I'd completely forgotten existed.

I'm gradually expanding the world of Sugar City. The Church of the Immaculate Confection was actually established in "Who Iced Mayor McFreeze?", but I'm not sure anybody ever encountered it. It would only be mentioned if you took long enough completing the game that it got into morning and the church bells started ringing in the distance (shortly before the abandoned taffy factory is scheduled for demolition). #ScreenshotSaturday #Inform7 #BubbleGumshoe #WhoWhackedJimmyPiñata

Further skills I didn't expect to pick up as a writer:
- Making my own rope.
- Learning to tie a hangman's noose.
- Hanging a piñata, but not in the way you'd expect.

All my Bubble Gumshoe games have involved setting up a mini crime scene for the cover image, but this is by far the most ambitious yet.
