Rising Action by aki's perspectives
A duet game of escalating battles between rivals where pasts and passions collide
akis-perspectives.itch.io
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!

there are a whole host of other labels some of which were set to hide automatically (i don’t recall setting these), this is really annoying, there should have been a prompt to set these manually when the feature was added/ at least have them all be ‘warn’ by default
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

i just never really wanted a disco elysium two. personally would be more interested in what else the creators want to get up to (if that were to be a DE2 then sure why not, but as an audience member i never imagined there would or should be a second one)

the second game i ran this weekend was Thieves of the Tome by @dairykillsme.bsky.social ! i love the concept so much and it delivers on exactly what it promises, the taking of the actual books and making spells from them is structured super well and the gm prep tools were exactly enough

over the weekend i facilitated Follow by ben robbins for the first time and it was a lot of fun! the format makes for great scenes with zero prep and i like how it works in many genres and modes

the more i think about it, i like the idea of physical books but they don't fit into my life right now for a bunch of reasons and that kind of makes me sad maybe i should make more room for physical books

growing up on an island much of my visual understanding of things like mountains, valleys, seasons, stars, etc came from watching videos on the internet. which i think adds to the absolute horror and also facination with the way slop destroys the fidelity to reality that internet video once had

listening to someone talk about how they've streamlined the items in this farming sim now that you have a combination axe and hammer, while in the older games they would be seperate items you had to switch between
how much of that 'streamlining' is a result of the progress of games and
