pre-markup of game bit #6 (All That You Have is your Soul), an inventory system! Text obscured, you'll just have to back the campaign to see it :P
A zine page spread. 6. All That You Have is Your Soul. Has money and golden idols (Oscars), some obscured text, and then a box labelled 'your soul'. Over the page is a 4x4 grid labelled 'inventory'.

Hey you could use that in my Fast Car two-player game based on the song! It and other games like it available in my currently crowdfunding zine.

Growing Thylacine was written to be a camping trip game, a 50% attendance games night game. It’s no prep, self contained, and approachable for a first roleplaying game.

Only 8 hours left to back it, funding now for ZineMonth / ZineQuest!

Pictures and scans taken from Tracy Chapman CDs.

Not weird! Off the top of my head, I know Logan did it in Preparing for Paris:
Text: Preparing for Paris (P4P) is a game without a Facilitator or Game Master (GM) that uses elements of the Powered by the Apocalypse system and the Firebrands Framework by Meguey and D. Vincent Baker.

If you see this QRP with your #portrait #art
The drawing of a man with long dark hair in a bun. There’s a club pushed through the bun and coins hang from one end of it, and also from an earring.

I regularly consult the graph ahaha
A grid of alignments, from lawful to chaotic and good to evil. Each entry in the alignment grid is a pun. “Chefs kiss? Do… do they really?” “The bird flu? Yeah they tend to do that.” “You’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?” “What’s upstairs? They can’t talk” “Based? Based on what?” “Apartment complex? I find it quite simple.” Road works ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does.” “Wood fired pizza? How’s pizza gonna get a job now?” “You’re telling me a ginger bred this man?”
