This looks interesting, both as a short standalone game, and also as a Session Zero seed generation tool

When asked "Why play solo RPGs?", I try to hit:

- Flexibility: play anytime
- Creativity: build your own worlds, characters, stories
- Skills: learn systems, practice GMing
- Focus: center on one character
- Immersion: explore personal experiences and emotions
- Community: share your stories

Am I a bit nervous launching this? Yes. I haven't really done much in the RPG Zine space in a while, and I have lost momentum. Truthfully, I feel that my time has passed, which is a weird headspace to be in for sure. Regardless, I know I need to put something out there.

So thanks for the support!

Big fan of big swings. Big fan of things pushing the envelope. Always push the boundaries.

Majorly worried about visual accessibility in the presentation.

RITE is a small #TTRPG A6-sized #zine for two to four players. It’s about celebrating whatever mysticism you find in the world around you.

Use it as a small experience or a worldbuilder. It will be shipped to you in time for the bleak midwinter.

I’ll launch it in a few hours. #crowdfunding

Travis D. Hill ☕️ @travisdhill.bsky.social · 9d

I am returning to my TTRPG roots with a game I originally designed 3-4 years ago but never released.

RITE is a #TTRPG #zine game? experience? ritual? where up to four players take on discrete roles to create sacraments for midwinter.

Launching Oct. 14th
7 day campaign
Other RPGs as add-ons

I want to make all the things in my head. But with that is knowing not all things need to be made.

I want to make money creating things I love. But with that is knowing cost is a barrier to others.

I want to change perspectives with my games. But with that is knowing to some these are just games.

Not every game is a product.
Not every booklet is a zine.
Not every idea is a kickstarter.
Not every conversation is content.
Not every collab is a stretch goal.
Not every designer is a peer.

"The Wicker Man" by Sin Eater, 1973. (Link in the comments to this post.)

An intricate black-and-white illustration. In the foreground is a dead hare surrounded by dense foliage, tall grasses, and detailed plants. Crows or ravens are flying around and perching in the barren branches of a tree that stretches across the background.

On the left side, there is a tall wicker man with rays emanating from their head like a halo. Beneath them is a ladder or structure leading to the ground. The sky is swirling and stormy. The overall mood is ominous.

Bottom text: FEED YOUR OPPRESSORS TO THE LAND.

Thanks to all who signed up to be notified! 38 followers might not seem like a lot, but I haven't done this in quite a while.

The fun thing, and where I've been at for quite a while, is that even if only 25 people back RITE that is 25 more copies in the world! Grateful for small joys.

This new AFI album is exactly the moody, dark wave background music I need while building out this dissertation slide deck.
