I've already talked a bit about Girl Frame and will absolutely be doing so more, so I can't recommend this strongly enough on that game's inclusion alone!

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror.

Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after.

Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.)

I’m researching 🤓

pretentious cumrags mistake formal structural rigor with unoriginal slop
ttrpgs rule becauese you can put a lot of work into studying a form and make intentional visual/artistic choices to comment on that form and fuck with it and youll get told its the easy way by some turbid-tongued cuntbag who thinks youre just making fatal 5e

[3/3] Isabelle Ruebsaat's "Girl Frame" (anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io/girl-frame) is one of the most interesting developments in the adversarial-GMPC space right now, and it's far from the only one to include mechsplo elements!

I'm bad at remembering to share my stuff here but the autistic mech-obsessed trans girls seemed to like this one #GirlFrame #ttrpg #mechsploitation

Just read the article on 3-cueing and this explains so, so much. I wish this post was exaggerating what's going on but yeah, people actually just don't know how to read properly
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

I'm participating in a game of @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social's (excellent) Girl Frame at the moment, and my wonderful partner drew my ojou-inspired Princess Girl.
A design for @caelyn.bsky.social 's Girl Frame character Marietta! And also the background on it's own bc it looks cool

i wish people would be substantially more careful with their choice to dismiss art/games they don't like as "not art / not a game"

After spending the entire evening doing PbP roleplay, I'm here to tell you that Girl Frame is just as amazing as I'd hoped and @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social is a genius.

Was a tad held up with personal stuff over the week, but wanted to share this interview I did with @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social for her horror TTRPG, for @rascal.news - one of the most fascinating projects I've read these days
"There’s a lot of me in this project. Even if I’m often hiding behind the voices of Charlotte and Samantha."

@liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social tells Rascal about the process of creating her pseudo-autobiographical horror RPG about finding meaning before death, but also accepting the unknowable.
You Will Die In This Place is an autobiographical RPG told through multiple, fictional perspectives
You will be drawn to this game.

Love reading well designed rules I won't ever find time or the right group for and this one, oi, bites hard and is a horny, cruel mess in the best way that's probably utterly incomprehensible for straight folks.

Also one of the few games that deserves to call their GM something more creative, rare.
Do you like lesbians and mechs? Messy power dynamics and half-alive robots you have to swap blood with? I just released GIRL FRAME, a TTRPG inspired by Mechsploitation, Armored Core, and Evangelion. Go check it out!

I have fallen in love with GIRL FRAME by @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social but my heart wasn't satisfied with the sheet... so I made my own!!! Can't wait to play this with my friends.

Feel free to use this sheet if it catches your eye !! I have a pdf version of it too if it's wanted <3
