Ran a local Games on Demand event in St. John's today. One of the most unexpected tools I was introduced to was a bag of communal fidgets. These helped players (and GMs) focus, and kept casual cellphone use to a minimum. I hope to have them at future events!

A group of fidget toys in red, yellow and blue. One is a nested set of cones, one is a slug with segmented movable parts, one is a set of interlocking gears, and one is a stack of hinged panels.

1.7 of Protect the Child is going to be, on the surface, an overhaul, but the bulk of the work is cosmetic: new names for terminology, new examples for character creation, a slight redesign of moves to make them feel emblematic and unique. But the piece I'm stoked for? The Endgame.

Endgame Questions

How does the Child deal with adversity?
How does the Child handle fear or anger?
How does the Child face heartbreak?
How does the Child show affection?
How does the Child solve problems?
How does the Child treat the powerful?
How does the Child treat the powerless?
Does the Child still love you?

If you want a sad western about an outlaw running from justice, you can play as a group in Bones & Bullets, by Damn Golem. If you want the same thing but a solo experience, try Low-Down, No Good, Dirty Damn BASTARD, by @quire.bsky.social.

A silhouette of a cowboy on a horse, the horse rearing on its back legs, against a blue sky and the faint rise of desert dunes. The title reads "Bones & Bullets: An outlaw faces the music." and "a ttrpg by damn golem."

For a smaller tragic pairing, try Ghost Beacon, by @exeunt.press alongside Final Broadcast, by @persephone.blue. Ghost Beacon is a solo game about exploring a civilization who has long since died. Ghost Beacon is a duet game that gives you a chance to live through their final moments.

The words "Ghost Beacon" in fluid, abstract white text, above the a smaller subtitle that reads "one--page micro edition". The background image is of a wall with geometric square-ish carvings, and the reddish, backlit opening to a cavern.

My Hands in the Fate of the Gods, by @dericbindel.bsky.social, and Pour One Out For Her, by Mr. Plucky Comic Relief, would work so well as part of an anthology. My Hands could be the tale of a young heroine who succeeds (or fails) to save the world. Pour One Out eulogizes her when she dies.

The words "my Hands In the Fates of the Gods" in white, with a white bracketed border, on a peach pink background. There is a cut-off sketch of what might be insect legs reaching up from the bottom of the screenshot.

The Slow Knife, by @mousehole.press, and Necrovenge, by Philip Jensen, are a pair of games that focus on revenge. In The Slow Knife, you're the villains walking, unknowingly, towards their doom. In Necrovenge, you're the one seeking payback - with necromancy!

Gut Hunch, by Lucy, and Caught in the Rain, by @ravensridgeco.bsky.social, are both detective stories, with Gut Hunch picking up a particularly surreal flavour. Turn the surreality into something that haunts the detective in Caught in the Rain.

The words "Caught in the Rain" in large tall letters, superimposed over a drawing of two people walking down a street, caught in the brightness of a streetlight, one of them holding a briefcase as it rains. In smaller letters at the bottom of the image, it reads "a solo mystery roleplaying game."

Deepspace Voidtruckers, by @dngnclub.itch.io & It's About The Yearning, by Lonely Cryptid Media, may not be an intuitive match, but I think pairing them together adds depth to a space-western world. Both examine different blue-collar workers, abused or forgotten by the systems that control them.

The words "Deepspace Void Truckers" in neon blue, yellow and red, strewn across a starry backdrop. Above the title, in white, reads "A Longhaul Micro Roleplaying Game." Below the title, also in white, reads "DNGN CLUB Analogue Games." The words are underscored with three colourful lines, in blue, yellow and red.

The words "It's About The Yearning" in a heavily stylized font reminiscent of the wild west, across a photograph of a yellow sunset, outlining a black silhouette of a person wearing a cowboy hat, astride a horse.

Asher's Ridge, by @montfordtales.com, tells the story of paranormal happenings and goings on through the lens of a tv show. The Long Watch, by @studiosquidink.bsky.social, could happen in the very same town, on the lighthouse by the lake.

The word "Asher's" sits horizontally across the image of a red cliff, with the word "Ridge" dangling crossword-style, using the letter "R" to connect the two. The silhouette of evergreen trees and blue shadows frame the cliff on either side.

If you want to explore themes of plague and conflict, try pairing Bloodclotte, by @duffo.bsky.social with The Surgeon, by @artistotel.bsky.social. Both cast your characters as medical professionals working in less-than-ideal environments: a gothic war and a ravaging plague.

The word "Bloodclotte" in a stylized, gothic font, superimposed over a drawing of a carriage pulled by horses, towards an old manor in darkness, illuminated from within.

The words "The Surgeon: A solo RPG by artistotel" above a cartoon drawing of a person in a white labcoat, standing in front of a window while holding a medical implement. There is a cartoon heart pulsing from the breast pocket of the surgeon's shirt.

Vaults of Vaarn, bu @infrabeige.bsky.social, is a very recognizable title in the OSR scene, that takes place on a blue desert in a galaxy where the sun is dying. All That Sacred Sand, by @pinayu.bsky.social, has a similar setting, that I think could pair well for the right player!

The words "Vaults of Vaarn" in bright pink, superimposed against a pale blue background. To the right, there is a light pink image of a bust, although no facial features are recognizeable.

The words "All That Sacred Sand" in red against a landscape in tones of red and beige, mean to represent a desert. Above the title, you can read "Protect the Vastness", "Repair As Much As You Can" and "Fulfill the Promise" in smaller lettering.

The words "Banda's Grove: the quantum convergence of campgrounds" brandish the cover of a pale green notebook, with an icon composed of four green tents connected by their peaks in a four-point-star sitting above the title. Near the bottom of the picture, you can see the words "typeset by Ranger Murie."

Next up is Primal Pathways, published by UFO Press & written by Laurence Phillips. You follow the evolution of an alien species over millenia. Not all of the player options work well for bug species, but I think the Parasite would work well.

The words "Primal Pathways" hover over a peach background, with the "Worlds of Legacy" label at the top right. The tops of mountains can be seen in the bottom corners, and a jellyfish-like creature hovers above the title.
