First up we have the last game I played:

Bloodless by @Ennio
https://ennio-goes.itch.io/bloodless-ttrpg

A wonderful short solo journaling game about a vampire in a bad way trying to make it to safety with a ticking clock if 6 hours til sunrise. A fantastic solo experience using the #CaltropCore system to great effect (https://caltropcore.com/)

Highly recommend, especially if you like creatures of the night.

Here, There, Be Monsters! by @wendiyu with art by Lino Arruda

https://wendiy.itch.io/here-there-be-monsters

Undoubtedly, my favourite game of the year and something I will be playing A LOT of in 2023!

The last group session I had was setting up characters, group and haven for this gorgeous monstrosity of a game: https://dice.camp/@SebrinaCalkins/109599990471061447

Electric Bastionland by Chris McDowall

https://chrismcdee.itch.io/electric-bastionland

The last game I got to be a player in. I am absolute ball with my Science Mystic, Superior-Doctor Aster Amara Astra, in this OSR classic with bizarre, eclectic vibes and some of the most inspiring and strange failed careers (playbook) I've come across. I can't wait next session and even more excited to finally find time to crack open Into the Odd (Remastered) in 2023.

Wanderhome from Possum Creek Games

https://possumcreekgames.com/pages/wanderhome

Truly magnificently, majestically wonderful! I'm besotted.

I am so very excited to continue a journey I started with my, understanding and compassionate on the outside and a careworn crone with a broken heart on the inside, Witch. I got way too into writing faer backstory and faer lost sloth Dancer, inspired by the incredible evocative Guest Playbook by Luke Jordan:

For the Dungeon! by Jordan Palmer

https://tabletop.itch.io/for-the-dungeon

A frenetic, fast and gloriously silly game with a wonderful comic perspective with a serious emphasis on improvisation and having a fun time!

Paris Gondo: The Lifesaving Magic of Inventorying by @Rolistespod

https://rolistespod.itch.io/paris-gondo

This continues to be one of my favourite and most played one-shot games, if not my most played game this year. It truly is the perfect ice breaker and break out in case of a need for quick and easy fun for everyone with something for the new and experienced player!

My review from a while back was one of the first things I posted here: https://dice.camp/@SebrinaCalkins/109549016514538586

10 Million HP Planet from Sandy Pug Games

https://sandypuggames.itch.io/ten-million-hp-planet

An utterly ridiculous game in which you roll amounts of dice that would make a 40K Orks player blush (or use rolling machines to help you compute the silly numbers) with a core of telling epic superhero anime epics and a heart of reflective breaks about how you came to be punching an evil planet to death...

Troika! by Melsonia Arts Council

https://www.troikarpg.com/

Weird, wonderful, wacky (one of the only times this can be applied without it being an insult or incredibly cringe), just fuck my shit up in an original and wild OSR kinda way.

I really need to play and run more of this ridiculousness, but I'll never be able to put words to it that do it justice as Batts did here: The Miracle Mystical Whimsy Machine of Troika!

Dwelling by Seb Pines/ smolghost

https://smolghost.itch.io/dwelling

This is a truly glorious and magical book. I had a wonderful, nostalgic, emotional and silly time with this game. This is such a beautifully presented, thoughtful and inspired concept.

It also helped me get over writing and drawing in-game books, which I am very thankful for

I played this at the beginning of the year and have been enchanted by it since.
