I love reading Last Tea Shop playthroughs. Hearing a dramatic reading of someone’s game is an extra-special treat 🍵

Variant: roll 2d6, you're both. The journal entry should involve working out how both came to pass. On doubles, you're just that thing and nobody has realised... yet.

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

For the past year my day job ate basically all my hours, and my game designs gathered dust. The big project's wrapped now, which means Snail Herders and Spirit of the Valley are back on the workbench. Been tinkering with both this week and I can't wait to show you what they're becoming.

It was a great podcast. I really appreciated that at least one of them had played the adventure. There were so many episodes where one of them would say, “This doesn’t seem like it would work, but it’s actually really great at the table…”

Snail Herders has grown far beyond what I expected but it's still a game about journeys: a multi-leg structure that shapes every caravan differently, over 230 unique events across varied terrains, and a bestiary of strange creatures. slowly getting there 🐌 art by the amazing @garin.bsky.social

So good. “Minimise Exact Variable Tracking and Triggers” especially lands. That tension has stalled my solo TTRPG for nearly a year. I love evocative subsystems. But every new tracker, trigger, or conditional adds weight. It’s a fine line between fun and accounting.

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.

StS is easily my most played game. It's got such a big possibility space and I still find the moment-to-moment choices interesting after all these years. I played a little Darkest Dungeon. I enjoyed what I played, but it became too much of a grind and I drifted away.

Love the worlds that unfold: Magic here was cultivated like a garden, grown to understand the universe. Now it's dying. The holy city has sold out to tourism. Rituals turned to commerce. Brittle light lost. A theatre troupe performs the old stories in market squares. Crowds leave asking questions…
