I think our main aim over the next few years (apart from releasing magazines every 4 months and not losing money for once) is to aggressively try and push tabletop games into these more interesting, art spaces that video games so often comfortably exist in today. It will probably be a struggle as...

Kenneth Grahame's original titles for The Wind in the Willows were 'The Mole & The Water Rat' or 'Mr Mole & His Mates'. He settled on 'The Wind In The Reeds' (this was the original title of Ch. 7, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn') then he learned Yeats' 1899 collection was 'The Wind Among The Reeds'.

Designs for ticket punches, c. 1914 from "Hardware, Tools & Supplies - Catalogue No. 500,” Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co., New York Image: International Tool Catalog Library Collection via @archive.org; archive.org/details/hamm...

A catalog page on sepia paper titled "Designs For Ticket Punches." The page features a grid of several hundred unique, numbered ticket punch silhouettes including symbols and icons like hearts, stars, anchors, letters, numbers 1-9, arrows, a tree, bell, train car, moon, anvil, hat, horse head, and many that just seem abstract. The footer reads "PAGE 626" and "SEE DISCOUNT SHEET."

Archivist’s note: “The (catalog) scan is from the Internet Archive's Smithsonian Libraries collection … The catalog was issued in 1914 or 1915 according to magazines of the period.”

When I think back on the sandboxes of Ultima Online and Skyrim I think: - Big handmade map fully open from the start - Interesting things to see/do outside of combat/quests/levelling - You can mess with objects and NPCs What other PC games could I play to tick all those boxes?

Answering the most important questions about The Girl With The Most Delicious Heart, including "but I'm not a girl?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/bey... #ttrpg #roleplayinggames #sologames Published with @beyondcataclysm.co.uk

Other Questions

But I’m not a girl?

You’re not an elf, viking, dragon-kin, sentient slime, or space marine either, but that didn’t stop you.

We argue that there is an equal wealth of literature about ‘being a 13 year old girl and facing trouble’ as there is about ‘elves and associated beings’. Possibly quite a lot more when you think about it.

But this makes me uncomfortable for some reason?

Okay, when you get your copy please cross out wherever it says ‘girl’ and replace it with ‘boy’ or ‘elf’ or whatever you would like. It is your game and your experience. Much like the central message of the game itself: this is your life to live.

In years where you are not hunted, you will try and build yourself a better life. Here you'll navigate making new friends, finding better ways to protect yourself, and seek to discover new artefacts to aid you.

You'll attempt to build the network of friends and found-family that a runaway needs to put down some roots. Get a job, make friends, find new and novel ways to protect yourself. Enjoy the brief respite of living your own life free of fear.

Importantly, it doesn't always work. The friends that you hope to make might slip away from you. This is as interesting as the first time you meet the person who will be your best friend. You can choose to find or build new protections, whether that's physical fortifications, guards on the payroll, or even later – should you survive to see your legend grow – standing armies. Artefacts might elude your grasp and eventually, with enough research and exploration, finally be yours. They can be the weapon that defeats your hunters – or they may be the only thing you can carry when your new home burns.

These years play like a classic 'slice of life' story, as you discover that the people around you are your best defence against a world that's out to get you.

During years where you are hunted you'll journal about how you stayed safe, and what was sacrificed to keep you from being eaten.

You'll make rolls against the scale of the monster, and if you fail you have a choice of fleeing or fighting. If you fight, you will have to sacrifice protections, friends and artefacts to avoid being eaten.

The better prepared you are, better your chances of victory. The better prepared you are, the more you have to lose.

Using a simple D6 system, players will make choices about when stand and fight, and when to escape and start again.

An exploration of The Girl With The Most Delicious Heart...

What’s it like?

It’s like playing hide and seek, for the rest of your life.

But what’s it really like?

It’s about being a girl who is being hunted by monsters because they know she literally has the most delicious heart in all of the world. From my understanding, this is basically what it’s like being a girl.

It’s a journaling game a little like Thousand Year Old Vampire, but simpler, shorter, and smaller. It's a bit '45 year old vampire'.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

There’s nothing wrong with escapist wish-fulfillment entertainment where protagonists are never wrong or vulnerable, but if that’s ALL you engage in then when you encounter a fully rounded character with realistic flaws and limitations you tell everyone on GoodReads they’re an asshole and an idiot.
