![VOLITION [Easy: Failure] – You wake up in your Hilton suite to a cacophony of whistles and horns. Half drunk and half hungover, you hastily throw on your tactical gear. It feels heavier than you remember. You stumble outside. The cold hits you like a brick. What are you doing here in this dismal city? Home is warm. Home is safe. Home is a thousand miles away. Tucking your shotgun between your legs, you fumble with a tear gas canister like a child learning how to tie their shoes. The gun goes off and you shoot yourself in the balls.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eqh433fdh2bqhvt455e3tg67/bafkreiahrbfuw4v4so56ikp2pxf5n253bs5pd5gq37l7nqsitkwynw56hy@jpeg)

Rend Repair Purpose is finally up!
Drawing from the art forms of Kintsugi and Blastover tattoos, it’s a journaling game about creating space to grieve then reconstructing yourself to face the world with boldness.

If you’re naming me in the same breath as TTRPG studies then you should be following and listening to and citing Professor Torner who has done more for analog game infrastructure than any one person can comprehend. (Any number of us shine from reflecting Evan’s light)
Indeed. The purchaseable *product* we call the TTRPG begins in the 1970s with Western Gunfight, Chainmail, and D&D.
Yet role-playing "parlor games," simulations, and similar are centuries old and draw from a well that resembles all the positive stuff about D&D.

Super cool that Affinity has stopped allowing you to buy their software around the same time my free trial expired.
Was trying to avoid paying a subscription fee for InDesign, much less reformat the projects I was working on, but here we are.

Something that’s amazed me in reading through the Daggerheart Core Rulebook is the dedication to “shared storytelling first”. Shows up in both mechanics and GM guidance.
It’s definitely something DnD tried to do in 5e 2024, but seems antithetical to the brand and continued ties to wargaming.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

2025 means making clickbait memes for a better world!
"I don't normally do this, but I had to share"
Someone in the Designed in the DMV Discord made this clickbait meme ad for The Bonsai Diary after someone else shared how they talked about the game with their therapist.
🤣 (for the ad not the therapy)

Just ran #EatTheReich as the first session of my Sunday Scaries TTRPG series and hoo buddy did the players understand the assignment. I think everyone involved needed that cathartic release due to the month DC has had.
