Super excited that The Firmament is officially a Kickstarter Project We Love!! And I put together a new banner image featuring some previews of the card designs. Follow the campaign & see more at ttrpg.fund/firmament!

The banner for a kickstarter page for a game called The Firmament. A book floats on the left side of the image against a glowing, grimy gradient with a faint grid overlaid on it. The book features a large white hand reaching up toward the title at the top. On the right side of the image, four tarot cards fall from above, glowing faintly. The most obviously visible one features three eyes looking different directions. The title of the game is written in white text across the bottom of the image.

One of the best parts of One Shot is that listeners can pick and choose which ones sound interesting to them and just hop between those. But, rss feeds don't really make that easy or digestible so this was my way of hopefully making this easier to do!

one of the beautiful things about printing 2 games over a half-decade old to print with GGR & bringing in contributors who have worked on or played them for years is the outpouring of love that goes into the project. it's SO wonderful to see contributors bringing all those feelings in.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Do you like Mass Effect? Once More into the Void is basically the rules light, Mass Effect style RPG that plays in 1-3 sessions. The physical copies are $20 and whatever doesn't sell is going to be pulped bc it's too expensive to send them back up into Canada for storage.

@posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online & i truly go off the deep end at the end of the episode. what if there was a game that was designed to make you feel bad and didn’t stop until it got bad enough that you stopped playing. would that be fun. does anyone want that. it was such a fun design space lol.
