Hi Kim, insellimlek! 👋🏻 Lovely to meet a member of the Maltese diaspora! We're all over the world! 🇲🇹 I'm from Qawra myself Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! Thanks for organising the Stop Gen AI bundle! I'm very passionate about not using generative AI in my work and I'm happy to be a part of it.

All of my games are based on Maltese folklore, history, and culture! Maybe there's something there that you'll like 🇲🇹😁 ghargremxul.itch.io

Most of my games are written in both English and Maltese! (I'm hoping to soon have my latest release translated to Maltese). There's a mixture of solo games, co-op games, competitive games, and lyric games. All are inspired by Maltese folklore, history, and culture.

They're available at ghargremxul.itch.io :D Unfortunately, I only have PDFs available, but I can definitely look into making plain text, screen-reader friendly, or TTS versions! Let me know what would best help you :)

By choosing to use AI art, AI writing, AI anything in your product, you are sending this signal to me: "I have zero confidence in my ability to try hard and create anything, so I would rather steal the work of others and put my name on it." Your AI works have no soul, and show no grit.

I'm submitting Ibħra Qawwija for consideration for a Sprinty Award! Ibħra Qawwija is a role-based cooperative nautical horror tabletop RPG where you try to avoid tragedy at sea. It's inspired by various historical incidents in Maltese waters and is about 27 pages ghargremxul.itch.io/ibhra-qawwija

Suggested edits sent! Thanks so much for getting it sorted, and apologies for the hassle!

Thank you! No rush at all; I was worried that it was a Unicode related issue hence why I flagged the error

I can't seem to send you a DM unfortunately. I was trying to add this game: ghargremxul.itch.io/rewwixta

The TTRPGs I make are all rooted in Maltese folklore, culture, and history. I even have one game inspired by a local folk game and another by a local children's game! A few of my games can be called horror, and I've also made solo games :D

I'd be honoured; go for it!

Thanks so much for sharing, and I'm so glad you liked the game! I'd been thinking about the theme and how to make a game around it for ages, and your game jam came along and everything fell into place.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! :D If you're into the crossover between TTRPGs and folk games, you might also like Ara Ġejja l-Mewt Għalik, inspired by a local children's playground game: ghargremxul.itch.io/ara-gejja-l-...

Hi, I'd love to be added! I make TTRPGs inspired by Maltese folklore, history and culture!

This sounds super interesting!
comment in response to post
How about both? :D I make TTRPGs about Maltese folklore and history!

Hallo! I make TTRPGs and lyric games (with a digital game in the works) based on Maltese folklore, history, and culture if that's something that interests you! You can find my stuff over at ghargremxul.mt and ghargremxul.itch.io

I'm from Malta 🇲🇹, and make small TTRPGs and lyric games inspired by Maltese folklore, history, and culture! You can take a look at my stuff at ghargremxul.itch.io; I'm happy to send you keys to anything you find interesting. Grazzi ħafna!
comment in response to post
I'm based in Malta, and this is essentially what I'm doing with the stuff I make! For now, the games are small and use custom systems.

Ah yes, then you're probably better off sticking with having Wordpress host things directly for you. My only other requirement from my end would be the ability to send emails using your custom domain, which I think Wordpress supports
comment in response to post
Absolutely fair! I know Dreamhost has one click Wordpress installations (but it was an intentional decision from my part to move away from Wordpress, so I've not used it myself). I think Digital Ocean have one click installations too, though that's a bit more hands on.

I use Dreamhost! I then upload a Grav installation through FTP, and it works great!

Hi! I'm a Maltese game developer writing under the name Għar Gremxul! I make games inspired by Maltese folklore, history, and culture, and I've released a few tiny TTRPGs in that vein over the last couple of years! :D
comment in response to post
Depending on if you count Malta as continental Europe or not, I'd love to be included!
comment in response to post
Thanks for everything Lin. As a tiny TTRPG creator from Malta, it meant the world when you wrote about my games in Dicebreaker. I'm proud to say that the journalist that broke the D&D OGL and Wyrmwood stories took an interest in my work. Best of luck with the future, you have so much to offer!
