A malfunctioning, out-of-control AI, changing everything around the place and making us do maintenance work to clean up the mess? Is this the perfect metaphor? But that’s not all: you get to use cool gadgets and vibe with each other along the way. Sold!

Games are expensive! I thought itd be fun to have mine be free :)

PDFs for all my games will stay Free into the future!

Its only “100% off” because discounts boost visibility more on itch more than free does.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Dead Halt by ZONWARE Ennie Nominated Roleplaying Game about a megalithic Hotel, Clunkhead Robots, and the looming threat of Y2K.

So I just noticed the deal of the century of itch: Dead Halt by @zonware.bsky.social is on sale at 100% off!

A hidden gem that somehow lets you use any module from any game while still keeping a super stylish and unique idenity. Massively looking forward to reviewing it.

Some gods are formed in the sands of the desert. Taking directions you didn't want them to go. This one just wants to stare at the player. Sorry I didn't have much choice there. Save your luck up for this one. Tread ground carefully, this guy makes the land unstable.

screenshot of a blogpost that reads: 

"Ten More Tangible Tips for Editing Your RPG Manuscript

"1. Remove instances of here from location descriptions—it’s obvious you’re describing the location already. Instead of 'A hobgoblin hammers iron here,' write 'A hobgoblin hammers iron on an anvil.'

"2. For the same reason, remove instances of this in description entries. If you must reference the entry’s subject, use 'the.' Instead of 'Smoke fills this room,' write 'Smoke fills the room,' or better yet 'Smoke fills the air.'

"3. When writing entries for monsters, magic items, and so on, skip repeating the name of the subject with [X] is or [X] are in the first sentence. Instead of 'VODYANOY: Vodyanoy are froggy, pot-bellied water spirits,' write 'VODYANOY: Froggy, pot-bellied water spirits.'"

Ripped through my old instagram, these are both from the xa2. I think its something with the vignetting of the small lens that makes them feel so similar.

I LOVE that camera. One of my top 5. I got the XA2, so just zone focus.

No wonder the photos felt familiar haha

The breadth of the hobby? That's impossible in just four games. But for this very specific hypothetical, what I would run is

Mausritter - for the adventure games
Traveller - for the old school, crunchy, sci-fi
Ten Candles - for the story telling
Patchwork World - for story games

It's really feeling like more and more of the apps that I really liked have become devoid of usefulness and honestly it's really sad. Even my budgeting app became a complete brick with features I hated.

My phone is more barren than ever.
