Friends and I have collaboratively created such deep, meaningful settings with The Ground Itself, I have a physical copy and it's always a delight.
In the shop! At last! @everest.bsky.social games!

The Ground Itself is a one-shot storytelling game - an introspective multiplayer exercise in pondering the meaning of 'importance.' Pick a location and follow it - only it - through time, from events days apart to the passing of thousands of years
