@819Steph.bsky.social just released a new solo journaling RPG video, this time featuring Auspex by @smolghost.bsky.social. This game takes us to a world on the brink of destruction, as the player takes on the role of a diviner guiding the change through their advice. Curious?

The Dance of Death Bundle is two games displayed together, Venatores and Belluae. Venatores is black print on a white background. The title is in all caps, vertically, down the spine. Its main image is obscured behind the other game, Belluae, a game of becoming something monstrous by Seb Pines (black and white on a black background, title also in all caps, vertical down the spine). The main image is a monster wrapped in shreds of clothing, holding its arms out.

The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.

A strange and narrow passageway proves to be tricky to navigate as you squirm against the rock walls. Will this passageway get named after you in your triumphant conquest of it or in memorial?
