howdy all!!

some of you may remember that i had top surgery back in january of this year. the sale i had to raise money for it was hugely helpful, and i thank all of yall so much for your support with that

unfortunately i didnt have a lot of time between when i was able to schedule the surgery to when the surgery took place to raise money and i ended up about ... $7000 short ... i was able to get the surgery and its been absolutely wonderful and life changing, truly a decade and a half long dream come true, but im now several thousand dollars in debt and thats been hanging over my head in a big way

so ... im hosting a jam!! submissions to the jam will be put in a bundle and proceeds from the bundle will go towards paying off the debt. which means any submissions would be a charitable donation and i will be so so so grateful for them

the jam is gonna go for a few weeks (till may 10th) and then the bundle will run until my birthday on june 14th :o) helping to get some of this paid off will be such a good birthday present

more details on the jam page. spreading the word is soooo appreciated!!!

#EVERYONE CHECK IT OUT #ADDDDDDDDDDDD GAMES #game jam

Mother, Sister, Aunt, and Mother-in-Law

Genre Non-Specific TTRPG Items To Fuck With Your Players Pt 3

The Cursed Letter: When Players receive this letter, they must copy it and send it to 10 other people or doom may befall them in 24 hours. (You can be mean and actually inflict doom, or make it seem like you will when really it's harmless)

The Device For Controlling Thought: a device that allows you to control another living thing's thought. (Mind the wording on this one. "Thought" not "thoughts". A player can take a single living thing's single thought and essentially make them repeat that thought whenever they want.)

Character Wig: A wig that when worn transforms you into an exact replica of any fictional character. (This only works with fictional characters, and when transforming into something from a non CGI cartoon or animation, you become a flat 2d character)

A call to action: review games you love!

If you enjoyed an independent TTRPG you played recently, go give a review! It takes less than a couple of minutes and can really help the creators of the games you love! I've just reviewed a few of my recent favourites (Exquisite Biome, RUNE and I'm Sorry Did You Say Street Magic) and wanted to encourage others to do the same!

I'd love if people reblogged with their favourite games, I'm always looking for more to check out!

Mint Reviews - In Want of A Match

This is a review for h. Moon’s game In Want of A Match, a multi-player dating-sim ttrpg. I received a copy of the game from the designer, but the review is simply because I wanted to do it!

In Want of A Match is setting-agnostic, which means that you can place your characters in any time period, in any degree of fantasy or science fiction. The rules of the world around you don’t mean nearly as much as your characters’ potential compatibility. The game takes place over a series of turns, where players will pair their characters up and send them out on dates, rolling using binary pairs of stats to attempt to boost their compatibility scores.

Each player controls two characters, one who is looking for their One True Match, and one firmly believes that Opposites Attract. The rules of the dating game are slightly different for each of these characters. For the One True Match, they are attempting go find a partner who has similar ratings, while Opposites Attract seek out partners with opposing ratings.

The game’s language is very casual in voice, as if the author is sitting next to you while he’s teaching you the game. This also feels pretty easy to run as a one-shot, with character creation, the opening scenario, and the following dates happening in smooth succession. The game can be competitive if you like, with you trying to make the couples that your characters are in the most successful of the group.

The biggest con of the document as it stands is the slight ambiguity around how rolling opposing stats works on dates. When I reached out to the game designer, he was very willing to explain how these work, and I think he’s working on clarifying the language around these rolls.

I like the fact that this game is setting-agnostic, because it makes it very flexible. I think In Want of A Match would be an excellent prologue to a game like Good Society, as a quick way to determine the pairings of the generation prior. You could play this game to set up the parents and determine how compatible they are prior to marriage, and then fast-forward twenty years to see how those marriages are affecting their children - the PCs.

This might also be a fun goofy way to pair up your characters from previous campaigns, kind of like a Coffee Shop AU that lets you imagine what kinds of dates your blurbs would go on.

If you’re a romantic at heart and like a little bit of competition, this might be worth checking out!

#WAHHH THANK YOU #i am working on rewording things!!!! #i also am gonna be playing again soon lol #so maybe there will be Tips
