Coming Feb 10th this #ZineMonth / #ZineQuest ...! A medieval minigame TTRPG
Carefully craft a beautiful illuminated manuscript OR make a quick note in between chaotic play with new players every round. Both work! Veritable Tales suits an intro RPG or a flexible option for your regular game night.

I create from the overflow of my passions. I love the music of Tracy Chapman, the musicality and lyricism, and have 3 CDs in regular rotation in my car. I also love tabletop roleplaying games & the craft of them.

So for #Pocketopia I'm making an old-fashioned fanzine combining these two passions. It's called Fiction in the Space Between & is live now! The title is taken from Tracy's song Telling Stories. The lyrics apply to the power & responsibility of roleplaying games as well, I think.

I take eight songs and engage with them via #TTRPG design. Mountain o' Things becomes a solo game about immeasurable wealth. Open Arms becomes a safety tool.

Growing Thylacine, #TTRPG on Kickstarter now for #ZiMo !

2 - 5 players | 5d6 | 30 - 120 minutes

Your last endling ancestor died in Hobart Zoo in 1936. No Thylacine has walked the earth since. But now your growing body lies dreaming in a cloning vat and your existence inflames the public. What are you: Scientific hubris? A new national identity? A second chance? A righting of colonial, historical or ecological wrongs?

You care nothing about that. Slowly your teeth, limbs, stripes and pouch grow. Soon you will escape.

Back now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/suns-ransom/growing-thylacine-a-pamphlet-zine-ttrpg
