Much That is Good and All that is Evil by Jeeyon Shim

I have had truly had a delightful time playing this delightful solo game honouring and condemning the seagull/ gull as a journaling game, and will make a point of playing it quicker and dirtier, as intended. This time as an urban seagull.

This convinced me to back their Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jeeyonshim/

Game no. 6

Electric Bastionland by Chris McDowall

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

"Bastion - The Electric Hub of Mankind
The only city that matters. Too big to fall, too complicated to function. A mess of alleyways, legalese and crowds. Aliens, Mockeries and People always in your way and your business
Everybody’s here
Everything is here"

I had the best time playing this & the truly bizarre, eclectic & fun bit of #OSR with some of the best background flavour I've seen in a #TTRPG

Game no. 7

Brindlewood Bay by @jasoncordova6/ The @gauntletrpg

Mystery-solving old femmes in a quiet, British seaside town with cozy Cthulhu vibes.

A truly glorious game I left the table wanting to play, run and write more!

I had the most wonderful time playing as a maven for the first time with the absolutely fabulous Philippa Mort, playtesting her partner's mystery.

Lichoma: A Meatpunk TTRPG by Strega Wolf van den Berg/ Bogfolk

It was truly an honour to play with members of Bogfolk and @plusoneexp @KeganExe on stream as a fucked up little gal, blow up people and carnival rides, and guaranteed a nightmare clown with a balloon string.

Gesta Orbital by La esquina del rol
A Nano RPG About Space Survival

https://laesquinadelrol.itch.io/gesta-orbital

A truly phenomenal little game that it was a true joy to discover and agony to play (complimentary).

Everything about it is unreasonably well done and brilliant, from the premise, mechanics, Moreau's art, character sheet, to the playlist. Just, wow!

Here, There, Be Monsters! by @wendiyu
https://wendiy.itch.io/here-there-be-monsters

After setting up so many games, reading the book to death, making encounters & filling my not app with ideas, I finally got to play HTBM! the other night & had the best time!

The City of literal monsters and actual monsters (authoritarian, fash, colonialist, capitalists, etc.) & the rules light, flavour heavy vibes of this game mean everything to my Queer trans disabled neurodivergent anarchist arse!

Game no. 11

Playtesting "In Disguise", @EvlynMoreau's "secret transformers game"

Not sure how much I can say, so I will just say that I had an absolutely wonderful time playing with Evlyn, @huffa & @killthesun_, as Tachanka, my subtle as a brick guerilla from the War of the Spark. A matt black, dark Damascus steel, & red trim bot with Solidarity as an ability & all-terrain buggy with mounted heavy machine gun & black bloc holomatter avatar. (last time I was M-spec lesbian train!)

Game 12. Mausritter by @losing
https://losing-games.itch.io/mausritter

I literally can't say enough good about this game!

I was besotted by the book, swooned at just how good The Estate is, panicked at letting myself not do lots of prep, & had the most amazing time running it & making up my own plots & moments on the fly.

Truly a perfect game with so much high quality locations and adventures.

I see me running/ playing A LOT of this!

Game 13. D&D

My first game in something like seven months with a long-running group on a long hiatus. The group is amazing & I had a lot of fun playing with them. For me D&D is something that can be fun if played sparingly & not in any way financially supporting WOTC. I still don't see myself running it again at this point

Support 3rd party creators if you're in need of stuff for it & play other games

Simple DeeEnDee by @filthgnome is a great alternative

Game 14. Grandmothership PREVIEW by @armandahaller
Cowdfundr: https://crowdfundr.com/GRANDMOTHERSHIP?ref=ab_5C6662

I had so very much fun writing an adventure & running it tonight. I haven't laughed so much in a game in a long time. @EvlynMoreau, @huffa & @ToreNielsen are always a joy to play with & Evlyn's art of her character & backstory dog is phenomenal

Can't wait for next session & to see the finished article!

Congratulations to the team for funding!
