I was pleasantly surprised that Last Tea Shop by @springvillager.bsky.social feels so much like a therapy session. As a clinician myself I usually hate that sort of thing but this extremely well done

The Witch's Circle is a micro-RPG for 2-6 players, inspired by "For the Queen" and "My Life with Master", and created for the #48WordRPGJam I tried to squeeze background, meaningful storytelling, and an endgame in under 48 words. Every word earned its place. springvillager.itch.io/the-witchs-c...

Every time I think about Loom (1990) I wish someone would turn it into a ttrpg. Music as magic, weaving spells through melodies, a world built on loss and beauty. I’d play that in a heartbeat.

Yesterday my leg was healed enough to go on a short walk up Pororari River. Sheer limestone cliffs, tui song, giant nikau palms, ferns and lichen everywhere. Last night it rained on the cabin and I dreamt of stone and moss

For months I’ve been looking forward to hiking the Paparoa Track. Unfortunately, I twisted my knee yesterday and can’t walk. Instead, I’m in a tiny cabin for four days in Punakaiki, waiting for friends to return. Deeply sad about not going on the walk, but grateful for an impromptu solo retreat.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch? The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive. Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

I haven't played that many 2 player RPGs yet, but Last Tea Shop was so good, I enjoyed it greatly! A friend and I played the 2 player variant rules and decided to switch roles every round. We told a really fun and melancholic story together where we both knew what was happening without ever...

Getting away for a few days with my spouse to the coast. The first two days have us shacked up by the ocean, and it feels like the perfect time to finally get to Last Tea Shop by @springvillager.bsky.social.
