Footfall v0.2.3 Changelog: Enemies and Stealth (again) Gio is in workhorse mode. This should be the last update before the release of Haghorse Run! I'm incredibly excited, just a few more tweaks here and there. After Haghorse Run, I'm gonna be focusing on...

Johnson Squared: a farcical whodunit mystery-
Deputised with the full legal powers of Janus Corp, the Crewmembers must identify a rogue scientist leaking data off-colony. The only problem: everyone on the station is an exact clone of the same man.

I rate every room in White Plume Mountain (X out of 5 Stars) and explain why each room does, or does not, work and how you can take these lessons into designing your own dungeons, be they of the funhouse variety or not

A pulp-style book cover shows an illustration of a man with his back to the viewer. He's in a library holding a large book. He's looking up to a pair of figures in the background; a man has his arm around the next of a woman, with a knife raided above her.

A yellow title reads "In The Library With The Wrench". A subtitle at the top of the page reads "A GM-less game of murder and intrigue".

three adventurers move down a narrow stone tunnel: a moustachioed man in a nasal helm leads the way, a primed crossbow raised, a wind mouse sitting on his shoulder; following is an elf with a spiral tattoo on her cheek, a torc around her neck and mail beneath her tunic, hefting an axe in both hands; bringing up the rear is a dark-eyed mage in robes and a tall, curving hat, the glow from the crystalline head of her staff lighting the darkness of the tunnel with an eery green light.

Hammer & Scythe by Lithuasil A game about playing Necromancers and making (un)Death work for you!

Do you like necromancy? Would you like to do some? Would you like to do so much necromancy, the living dead blanket the countryside? Like reckoning with the morality of your actions, and the injustice of the system you're a part of?
I got you covered :3

A thread of non-obvious things that either influenced BREAK!! and/or make for good BREAK!! inspiration in my opinion. I am going to add to this as I think of new ones (or maybe even find them)
