Last Kiss by @brianliberge.bsky.social and published by Luck of the Harbor will be coming to BackerKit on November 10th!

It's a game about identity, authority, sexuality, and hopelessness.

Please follow the project here and share! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
One of the design goals of Last Kiss was teaching a table to play games the way Brian runs them.

I mean it sincerely when I say Brian is the best GM I have ever played with.

This review captures what makes her great, and what makes Last Kiss great.

I ran Last Kiss tonight as a charity game on Start Playing, and got this new review. I truly think this is as much a review of the game as it is a review of me.

In Last Kiss we set you up for success. The tools, principles, guidance, pacing, it's all there

Last Kiss isn't on sale for Black Friday, but if you back it today, I'll blow you a little kiss free of charge.
You only have three days left to back Last Kiss by @brianliberge.bsky.social

Wouldn't the end of everything look lovely under the tree? I think so.

Analog games being largely a social medium covers a lot of warts in design. You can play a miserable game and have fun with your friends. Likewise, you can play a great game with the wrong people and walk away unhappy.

So maybe, just write and publish that game anyway, and stop doubting yourself?
This is the number one issue I find with junior game designers (and unfortunately, non-designers who think anyone can design). So many people cannot tell the difference between "a game I like" and "a game that's designed well" and they get REAL mad if you point out there's a difference
begging people to learn to separate “i like it” with “it’s good.”

i like some things that are objectively crap. you can admit that you do too. it’s fine

All the Animals have undertaken the Crossing. They awkwardly straighten their postures, put on nooselike ties and cover their glorious pelts with dull fabrics. They take jobs, claws trying to grasp phones, paws doggedly adapting to gardening tools.

Rascal says its a quiet week but there's only five days left in the Last Kiss backerkit campaign! How is that not the headline?! (/jk I love @rascal.news )

We're edging slowly closer to getting a little taste of Hawkmoth King in the game as a stretch goal!

The Charlie Brown post memes strike me that you could play a kickass dark imagining of Peanuts in Last Kiss by @brianliberge.bsky.social ala Riverdale

Charlie Brown as The Discarded
Linus as The Unfortunate
Pigpen as The Horror
Peppermint Patty as The Juggernaut
Lucy as The Witch

I have completed my Monstrosity-Monstrosity-NotAConCon-PAXU How Much Hobby Can One Girl Handle hell month. In that span I also quit my job, started a new job, and launched a crowdfunding campaign. What have I learned by putting myself through this crucible? A thread!

Give Jamelle Bouie the keys to Star Wars. I'm sold
if you let me write a star wars movie it would be an adaptation of the rogue squadron/wraith squadron books. post-jedi, early new republic. captains wedge antilles and tycho celchu must assemble a team of pilot/commandos to take out a gathering of high-ranking officers among the imperial remnant

This is genuinely one of the loveliest things someone has ever said to me about anything ever and I want to get it embroidered on a pillow

im love u eclipse
you've earnestly come to these spaces with such a desire to understand yourself and others. it's rare that i would recommend tgirls discuss these subjects with a cis person, which i think shows the degree of caution, care and empathy you've taken in joining these artistic movements

I'm sad I missed so many people at PAXU, but if you're into indie TTRPGs and not stopping by Games on Demand to play a game and meet the passionate people there, I kinda question your commitment. We had 115 indie tabletop games this weekend across 31 tables.
