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

There are thirteen principles in this game, and I often don't explain them for a one-shot because we only get so much setup time. Instead I tried to bake them into all the choices and sections. The part of the books that explains them in detail acts more of a blatant refresher. I hope they serve you

There's only a few days left in the Last Kiss backerkit campaign so let's talk about a few more principles

As a reminder, the principles in Last Kiss are for EVERYONE. They are designed to be followed by those with player characters AND the facilitator

Somehow, even with my very heavy Games on Demand schedule, I managed to meet @nylarosebeast.bsky.social and get my fan signed. I volunteer so much at the #PAXUnplugged I really had low hopes it would happen. Thanks to @9thlevelgames.bsky.social too. Fan by @effylives.com

I will have pins with me. They are free, but I only made 100.

Who the heck is @anagogue.bsky.social ? How did this get approved?

Good morning,

I will be at PAX Unplugged this year. Between Last Kiss and Games on Demand, I will be quite bsy. Early mornings in the GoD space, like before 9:45 AM, are the best time to try to talk to me.

I will be running Last Kiss at GoD. I cannot hold you a spot. Line up 30 mins early, rm 107

It's day 2 of LastKissGame.com We are $20 away from unlocking the Champion, so let's talk about what it is. The Champion was one of the early playbooks. They are obsessed with being the very best at one thing. You decide what the thing is. Could be Acting, Cheer, Chess, Hacking, Kendo, Wrestling

Ok let's talk about the Deathborn playbooks for Last Kiss. Hopelessness is one of the themes we explore in the game, and a goal was to give people tools to explore uncomfortable topics as best we could. Narratively I think PCs should die when its good for the story

The Discarded was another early playbook, but won't be available in the Quickstart

In a lot of ways they're the balance to the Unfortuate, so here's some more art we didn't use. Discarded has strict truths they live by, like a Paladin whose prayers go unanswered

The Amalgamate is the first playbook we are saving for the full version of Last Kiss. In many ways, it's a playable version of a critique on generative AI. In other ways it represents the evils of modern insecurities. Amalgamate craves popularity over individuality

Ten minutes till LastKissGame.com

The last playbook in the quickstart is the Witch. The witch sees the darkness as evil sure, but also the best avenue for change there is. The world sucks. The world is cruel. Why wouldn't you change reality?

There's a lot of power fantasy here, and its very trans

The Unfortunate was one of the first playbooks I wrote for LastKissGame.com The art below actually didn't make the cut, but I still like it because of how much it harkens to a major inspiration, Utena Revolutionary Girl.

This playbook is aware of the darkness and the coming end. And that sucks
November 10, 2025 at 4:46 PM
I wrote the Juggernaut with the classic unstoppable fool trope in mind for LastKissGame.com and what really surprised me, was how popular this playbook was during playtesting.

Your Jugg might be a himbo, or they might just be someone who pushes the terror of the world aside. #TTRPG

The Horror is a take on the classic transforming monster in LastKissGame.com You might be a werewolf, vampire, demon, mermaid, or anything you can imagine

You start the game as an extension of the darkness, and boy do you have FEELINGS about it. Seek normalcy, before it's no longer in your control
November 10, 2025 at 4:18 PM
The Chairperson has it's roots in the classic anime trope of the scheming student body president. They have the Influencer move, which allows them to spend Main Character Energy to assign anyone a Label. This gives themselves and allies an edge whenever needed, but they need to have MCE to spend it

Inspired by a metaphor on the @plusoneexp.bsky.social discord, here's a preview of LastKissGame.com

These are the first two principles, which are not just for the GMs, but all players.

One of my experiences this comes from (of many) is getting to play For the Queen at Big Bad Con.

And that ties into Principle 10 Take Responsibility
(which borrows heavily from @johnharper.bsky.social 's Blades in the Dark)

Own your desires, advocate for them and take action. Own your desires, advocate for them and take action.

That doesn't mean ignoring others

Last Kiss Hype Preview

We have 13 Principles, and they act as guidance for all, the facilitator and those controlling the main characters.

Principle 6 is about blurring the lines between how we see characters and concepts. I love when this happens in supernatural and horror

In #LastKiss you can play a witch that is not so subtly full of trans themes. No reason at all for that. It certainly wasn’t created out of anger.
