Speaking of cool Consent Mechanics, I'm experimenting with some positive consent models in Can You Host? Giving players a way to ask for what they want, and a way to signal something isn't for them without bringing things to a hard stop, but rather redirecting the narrative.

Rising Action, the first ttrpg I've ever completed, is out now! It's a duet game where you play a pair of rivals having an ever-escalating battle where their past and passions collide. Inspired by action anime/games and uses a deck of playing cards! akis-perspectives.itch.io/rising-action

Hey #TTRPG folks! I didn't see one already, so I created an Asian American / Pacific Islander (AAPI) in tabletop roleplaying games starter pack to build community, and added the minimum to get started. If you'd like to be added (or removed), just let me know! go.bsky.app/AP6Shtn

It was so fun getting to play Game Over at #PAXUnplugged with KMS Games. #jubensha are just such a good time, especially if you're into feeling like a real detective and solving mysteries. It was lovely chatting with Caleb to learn more about their process for creating original English jubenshas!

There's a thing that happens in Wolfspell that I want to put into my current game design. It happens in that moment between character creation and playing the game (however you wish to define either of those and the space between).

The retrospection continues! I tempt Quinns back onto Yes Indie'd to talk about the year that was. Fun twist: We are now both full-time in RPGs. Not true at the start of the year! Less fun twist: We can't tell if it was a good year for games or not! creators.spotify.com/pod/show/yes...
