Nearing the end of Vol 1 of Books of Blood. Pretty much all bangers.

I'll probably jump straight into Vol 2 once I'm done

New review day!

This time delving into the survival horror journaling game Cinderedge by @quasigrant.bsky.social where no matter what you do, you'll eventually die in a fire. It's atmospheric, poignant and very unsettling.

We added TWO brand-new titles from @junkfoodgames.bsky.social
🍃Wither & Grow - a tiny solo game following the life of a sentient being made of growing plants
🐍🕷️The Serpent & The Spider - a duet for a necromancer + a sword-wielder to team up, combatting corporate corruption in a fantasy techno-future

The cover of Wither & Grow, a solo journaling game by Junk Food Games. Dark green ink on light green paper. The title is all lower-case whimsical serif font with an elaborate ampersand. The central image is a hulking being made of shaggy plants. Its face is partially covered by vines, flowers bloom from its back, and its willowy arms drag on the ground

An interior example of Wither & Grow. A two-page spread with an illustration across both pages of a mass of vegetation with a leaf-covered hand reaching out of the top. The text explains "if an ideal goes over 10, you lose control of your growth." It goes on to explain how this ends your game and gives prompts to conclude your story in your journal

The cover of The Serpent and The Spider, a ttrpg for 2 players by Junk Food Games. Yellow paper with black ink, calligraphy font for the text, and, in the center, a hand-drawn vampire skull with a sword through it, accented by a snake

An interior example from The Serpent and The Spider. On the lefthand page, the Introduction describes how each character operates, player cooperation, and game content (violence). On the righthand page, a hand-drawn skeleton bursts forth from the ground. In the background, a tiny, hooded necromancer says "Rise up, my bone freaks!"

Who's excited for spooky season? 🎃✋

Who's also struggling with SAD and and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of small tasks to juggle every day? ✋✋

If you're interested in a tiny game that encourages mutual accountability through hexing your friends, keep a sharp eye out here next week... 👀

No AI is used in any of my games. You can find this Human Made icon on everything I make.

Really great icon pack by Hinokodo

Hinokodo @hinokodo.com · 3d

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

@stonemaiergames.com

the human made icons in the pack. free to use of course.

an example shown on a book. (specifically TUMULUS by Exeunt Press)

@games.mothspire.com creates games for transformation. I love "The Old Ways Must Go," which asks us to reexamine our rituals, refresh those that still matter, and to let go of those that do harm. And "The Optimist's Guide to Tarot" just speaks for itself!

In case you weren't aware, I occasionally do sick kickflips with this little tech deck on my desk.

This knowledge will either slightly improve your view of me or significantly worsen it

Deck deck skateboard with black wheels and gold trucks. There is an illustration of a deer and has the text "born to frolic world is a meadow love em all 1989 I live for strawbs"
