Today we played a game of "The Slow Knife" by @mousehole.press and generated this mad sprawl of interconnected conspiracies and resentments. Highly recommended! You can buy your own copy here: mouseholepress.itch.io/the-slow-knife

Followed up with a trip to YUE Kitchen on Brick Lane, which has apparently only been open for a couple of weeks. Another recommendation!

This month's RPG brunch club took us to the amazing Arcanist's Tavern to play "Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall", a cook-by-day, battle-vampires-by-night RPG by @bananachangames.bsky.social and @senfoonglim.bsky.social. Had an amazing time playing as the family grandmother 😁 Mochi approves!

Chilling with Mochi.

But the questionnaire writing part of Dread is something our GM had lots of fun with! We chose archetypes related to the Animal Crossing personality types (Jock, Sisterly, Snooty, Lazy, etc.), and answered questions that specifically set us up with skills our GM knew we'd need for the adventure.

This is a system neutral horror adventure, so for a system, our GM decided to use Dread (the one with the Jenga tower). Except, instead of using a Jenga tower, we used "The Fuzzies" the fuzzy ball tower dexterity game, which seemed on theme.

Day 1 of frothing about #UndyingRPG by @magpiegames.bsky.social. Certain Popular Vampire Games have billed themselves as a game of personal horror, whilst periodically interrupting to ask if you'd like a talent for dual wielding Desert Eagles. Let the Right One In meets a lesser Underworld sequel.

Hope everyone's excited to hear me talk about nothing else for the next week, cos I've got so much to say about the game's systems and their impact on their play rn.

Ours was a story of toxic gay losers over five centuries of Parisian history, closely influenced by the Interview with the Vampire series. We laughed, we cried, we screamed. We ended our campaign begging for more.

This is the best new game I've played since Band of Blades by @evilhat.bsky.social last year. Our campaign sang for a pretty similar reason: a brilliant system, packaged in an electric campaign structure, run for an amazing group that was as excited to be playing this game as I was.

On sale now at the @uktin.bsky.social stand at Dragonmeet!

Why does this puddle have a face

Off to the post office with a stack of Kickstarter rewards!

P.S. Stick with me and I'll keep sharing pictures of Mochi.

Oh hey, my follower total just doubled overnight. Hi new friends! I'm Michael, I'm an RPG producer, I'm posting Kickstarter rewards for "Me, the Singularity" this morning, and at Dragonmeet it'll get its public debut on the @uktin.bsky.social stall.

See you there on Saturday?

Pretty proud of myself for making a game with rules for leaning over and accidentally tearing a hole in your trousers tbh
