In regard to your pin post, what games do you like to play? I'm always a sucker for hearing about other tabletops people enjoy.
Ooooooh thank you for asking!!! I'm a big sucker for easy to run character focused games like Thirsty Sword Lesbians or Masks: A New Generation, but I also love love love games with potential for really cool and creative combat like Eidolon: Become Your Best Self, Gubat Banwa, and LANCER.
My primary experience is with Powered by the Apocalypse games, but I'm looking to expand my horizons a bit in the future! Blades in the Dark is super cool, but other Forged in the Dark games appeal to me a lot, especially Brinkwood - The Blood of Tyrants, a super cool game about organizing a revolution against colonialist capitalist vampires.
There's really so many amazing games by queer indie creators out there - Apocalypse Keys recently had its full release, as did EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER the TTRPG! There's really something for everyone. I really need to play more Ryuutama for its lovely adventure vibes, Hard Wired Island for a return to true anticapitalist cyberpunk, as well as Flying Circus for amazingly accurate WWI-era plane action in a miyazaki-inspired setting! Other stuff I've had for a while but need to play are Monster Care Squad, Heart: The City Beneath, and Comrades, a Revolutionary RPG.
There's also plenty of nice, charming, slower paced games as well. Wanderhome is a beautiful pastoral journey game, where everyone comes together to heal a land and experience wonders. Our Traveling Home is inspired by Howl's Moving Castle and has everyone play a unique role as a queer found family. Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast just released, and it's an amazing episodic experience packed full of beautiful content!
One of my favorite game creators is Dinoberry Press, creator of fantastic titles like Justicar, What Waits Beneath, and GUN&SLINGER, a cool 2-3 player game where one person plays a magical gun and the other their haunted wielder. It's got a couple great extra modes of play, too, like SWORD&BEARER or MECH&PILOT !
And there's even more amazing games in development. Dinoberry's You're in Space and Everything's Fucked just funded, as did HELLPIERCERS: TACTICAL HARROWING ACTION. Guns Blazing and Wetrunners are really close to being funded, too, check them out! Some other great games that aren't fully complete but you can play right now are ICON, Bloodbeam Badlands, Red West, and In the Time of Monsters, all of which are some of the COOLEST things I have ever seen.
Feel free to ask more questions about any of these! I love talking about them and I'm thrilled to see interest in indie ttrpgs!!!

It's a shame Eidolon games are so rare to get together it feels bad wasting opportunities on joke characters because I think a really solid bit would be playing a Wildcard that it steadily becomes apparent over the course of several sessions is just getting the power to murder people with a rock every single time.
"Rock Me Like a Hurricane obliterates my enemies by throwing rocks with the speed of a tornado/Can't stop the rock is a real physical rock my skill at murdering people with rocks allows me to break through any barrier\Precious Stones perfectly senses fist sized rocks in its range" etc
"Guys I'm starting to wonder what that Eidolon says about Cain Rockmurder's inner self"

Okay breaking my no-posting-during-finals rule to say that Aisha Laborn fans should really listen to Eidolon MONTREAL. It has another sterling entry in the "characters who go through life constantly being forgotten by everyone because of their powers" niche. Aisha and Illana Ramsey need to get together and shoot the shit about having to deal with their powerset. It also plays with Worm's trope of "powers that work by transferring things between parallel universes" to really interesting results.
Its a 4-episode actual play miniseries in one of my favorite RPG systems, the first episode just came out on the public feed and its really spectacular. Give it a listen if you like riffs on the SCP foundation and anomaly-of-the-week procedurals. Or if the idea of a bunch of people with Jojo Stands based on of Montreal songs appeals to you.

Tried my hand at drawing the Eidolon: Become Your Best Self character I hope to eventually play, because I'm incapable of being normal about this game. The chains around his wrists are his Eidolon, 「House of Wolves」, which can make prehensile chains sprout out of nearby surfaces.

Deeply need to run Eidolon again because finding out my player’s eidolon that was her physical tarot deck called “22” actually included the minor arcana so it was the full 78 card deck is still so funny to me and I keep thinking about it and laughing,,

The problem is all my best ideas for parahuman OCs have powers that are a bit too silly or situational to really fit. I'm really excited about "guy who can put people behind Rawls veil of ignorance with him" but that's not a parahuman thats a jojo. You just made a jojo there. "We have to agree on what rules everyone here will follow once we're released and if you break the rules agreed to you explode" that's not something the PRT is dealing with that's what they sent after the Stardust Crusaders.
The good part is that it means I have a bunch of OCs I can repurpose into Eidolon charcters. The bad news is I need to find people to play Eidolon with so I can do something with these characters.
