Always grateful when folks play my games, doubly so if they are designers I admire!

Pale Dot works for both one-shots and campaign play and encourages players to tell whimsical, surreal, and existential expedition stories inspired by media like @mobiusdigitalgames.com's Outer Wilds and @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's Annihilation.

Launch into the heavens and explore 36 locations full of strange evocative prompts for improvisational roleplay. On their journey the Cosmonauts will find clues to their cosmic mystery and perhaps even find themselves!

Players will embody a crew of dustling cosmonauts and their trusty makeshift ship to propel the adventure forward in addition to the Elements, narrative pillars that reach and allow each player to be a mini-GM for a specific sliver of the setting.

Pale Dot is a collaborative storytelling game for 2-5 players about a crew of dustlings, non-human cosmonauts journeying beyond their world in search of answers.

Craft an alien setting together and propel its denizens into space in the name of cosmic mystery!

I just wrapped up a commission and am looking for a couple more to get me out of the summer destitution times! Hit me up!

(Thanks to the folks that shared this!)
Yo internet! I’m a composer and my finances are a little shaky at the moment and I need some work to get me through the summer till my other job as a teacher resumes.

I can make you a groovy, catchy, vibey, or spooky song like the one below for between $350-$500.
