It's looking like the hurricane left me with some nerve pain due to the pressure changes, so if you've got a few coins to spare, I'd appreciate it

@czamboni.bsky.socialReposted by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialWe finished the playtest campaign of @jenkatwrites.bsky.social 's "Before the Season Ends" today and it was both sad and wonderful.
The game is a true gem and I can't wait to see the finished version! It really gets at the core of female friendship, emotions, societal pressure, and more. š

@czamboni.bsky.socialReposted by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialLast weekend, @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social, @jenkatwrites.bsky.social and I played "Xeno: Desperation" by @planesailinggames.com, an Alien-inspired blue-collar horror hack of Desperation by Jason Morningstar.
It worked really well, particularly with the great PCIO online setup that Alex created...
@czamboni.bsky.socialReposted by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialWednesday's class was about tabletop role-playing games and it was just great.
We played Desperation and Zhenya's Wonder Tales by @jmstar.bsky.social as well as Making History by Jonathan Proctor and @cmichpress.bsky.social.

@backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialIncredible. If she streamed live, she would probably destroy the Internet with her wholesome content.
@backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialYour mom's adventure in Stardew Valley continues. Easily one of my highlights in this sad era of the Internet.

@coffeeallnight.itch.ioReposted by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social4 out 5 imaginary ttrpg scientists agree that back The Decay makes you cooler, smarter, and more attractive. I don't know why I made up a scientist who disagrees with me. I'll have to imagine more scientists to look into it.

@mirror-lock.bsky.socialReposted by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.socialBeen glowing all day because of this review of Galatea. I especially love that it understands the central design trick I braided into the rules: how your gameplay strategy must change partway through even though the game itself hasnāt changed.
