Time has been flying by a mile a minute here so I thought I’d make a quick update before the month is completely gone. It’s been a wild time. Between my academic work, fiction writing, DMing, and life I have been running a little ragged this month.
Tabletop Games
When DMing Goes Bad
So I had an AWESOME idea for a dungeon. I planned it for over a month and when the day came to play it, I totally and utterly did really really not good at playing with it. I was a bad DM but I think I have some ideas to do better the next time we play.
Letters to Myself
Hey y’all,
The last six months have been a blur. I started working at a library overseeing a makerspace and tried getting my health back on track. Things are looking up in most everything. Except for my creative output but I’ve been working towards getting that fixed too. I’ve been striving to strike a balance between work, play, and family. I did make a mini-game jam RPG though called Letters to Myself.
Time Cycles
Extra Credits ran a game jam recently with the theme of ‘Cycles’. I wasn’t going to enter but then there was a category for table-top role-playing games and suddenly I had a MIGHTY NEED to write a Hero’s Journey based storytelling game. So I made TIME CYCLES.
TEARS the VHS Mecha RPG
I heard some talk about the game Into the Breach by the Waypoint podcast crew that really made me think about the emotional weight of giant mecha anime that often gets overlooked. Movies like Pacific Rim and Godzilla usually touch on the larger-than-life terror of fighting something bigger than yourself but 80’s anime usually dug deeper into the human cost of living titans destroying your life. Austin Walker specifically talked about Robotech and inspired me to check the series out. Then I saw a tweet about an Emotional Mecha RPG jam on itch. So I made a thing.
