Now having actually played the game, this is SUCH a good breakdown of what you can expect. This is a game of yearning and trust. Very different from the wholesale grief of TTWH, but playing so well with a very different, heavy set of feelings. I can't wait for people to try it!!!

To Feel Your Warmth is coming to BackerKit on October 20th. A duet vampire TTRPG about love, trust, and the decision to move forward together or say goodbye forever. It is an evolution of the mechanics behind The Time We Have, but what specifically is changing? ⬇️

finally also got round to @superdillin.bsky.social's All's Fair and - is anyone allowed to be this good in the gamespace? feels a little unfair to everyone else that one person is this good at it also, @seaexcursion.itch.io's art and the layout by @brianflaherty.bsky.social make it sing so loudly

Rise, Wizards! by @captainkrail.bsky.social has a mabinogion reference on the front cover/main art, and that is all you need really and THEN it gets into the art (h. santana) and layout work ( @yesnogoodbye.ca ) too?! if you didn't back it, you should pick it up as soon as you can, boyo

This game is made of the memory soup from my childhood and teenage years. Night drives on long roads. Strange places and random violence. That one experience you can't explain.

To those who didn't know (like me), Mixam has a new "Add bundling" option when placing an order. Easy to miss if you're doing a re-order. If you don't add bundling, the games might be loose in the box, and you might be dealing with 1/3 of your copies arriving damaged (also like me).
Hundreds of copies of Anamnesis separated into piles on the floor. The piles have labeled sticky notes in front of them that describe the damage.

Folks, if you were at this fair: hospital right now. Get the rabies treatment. It will hurt but it’s better than dying a painful death. It is treatable UNTIL symptoms show. Once that happens you get your affairs in order. You have a week to ten days.
