I've had so much fun running "These Waters Run Black" at cons. It's set up for a perfect one-shot if you're looking for some spooky season role-playing!

Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

NEW FOR SOLO SEPT: Detritus by @gomezwrites.bsky.social 💥 A solo post-apocalyptic RPG, part gamebook/part journaling game. Ten years after The End, it's time to go on a journey. Tell a curious explorer's story while you reflect on your own experiences and learn a little about yourself along the way

The cover of Detritus, A solo narrative journaling adventure. The title appears in yellow, as if spray painted on the black asphalt background. A white dotted line runs down the center of the cover and off into the 'distance'

An interior example from Detritus. The lefthand page is titled Hit The Road, Jack and includes a story segment, an illustration, and a place specifically for rolling dice and recording what you find. The righthand page includes spaces for describing your discovery, reacting to questions for your character/yourself as the player, and illustrating your discovery
