Hapax by Honey Cup Games a game about lonely words on a dying world

Just put a short & sad one-page TTRPG up on itch: Hapax, a game about lonely words on a dying world.

Shout-out to the @storygameschicago.bsky.social Discord, where this week's design prompt to build a game around language inspired me to throw this together.

Check it out, it's free!

Really loved stuff from @outridercreative.bsky.social, @dngnclub.itch.io, and @lumpley.bsky.social this year. Excited to see more from all of them, as well as some of the sick projects from @ericabridgesphd.bsky.social.

This episode was a blast - its one of two this season that really immediately begged for a BIG game. At least comparatively.

Excited to hear what people think!

Spending time with incredible designers at a con always gets me so excited about the hobby and makes me bounce off the walls with new ideas.

… I might have the beginnings of a sports anime zine??

I consulted on the Latin and Greek for this dope medieval horror game where death is fleeting and "Came Back Wrong" is an understatement. Check it out!!

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand
