Girl Frame Releases October 21st over on anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io. If you like Mechsploitation, Evangelion, 86, or just mechs+oppressed lesbians+eldritch horrors in general, I think you'll like this. #mechsploitation #ttrpg

Here's one of my favourite playbooks:
MOCKINGBIRD You fell to the Gorgons, becoming a Harpy - a corrupted girl. The Foundation took you back, ripped you out of voidspace with a cold hand, deprogrammed and reprogrammed you back into working order. Purging what the Gorgons put in your head and body with scalpels and chemicals. You were a human, and you tasted what it was to be a dream. Now you’re less than either.

Adding notes to Girl Frame specifically for my audience #ttrpg #mechsploitation #GirlFrame

Also this is coming this month btw
Receive Orders When someone of a higher Status gives you an order, choose a response: Follow the order, making plays if necessary. Follow the order (pick 1) hesitantly, while mouthing off, with gritted teeth — making plays if necessary. Make a play to Disobey Orders. Note: Good Girls follow orders. Your Handler may reward you for being good by raising your Status.

She keeps chewing on my damn hair
Me (long hair, woke up at 6 AM vibes) sitting on a couch with a high armrest (unusually high, up to my head). An all-black cat loafs with her butt towards the camera, her head turned to stare intently at me (my hair specifically)

The Mistress Playbook for #GirlFrame #mechsploitation, one of the playbooks for the Handler player (taking on the traditional GM role)
Playtesting soon
A Ttrpg playbook, with text that says: Mistress Girls aren’t too bad - most Handlers are cruel, but you prefer the gentler approach. They’re so starved for praise, for affection, for love, if they get just a taste, they’ll do anything for you. And they’re kind of cute, aren’t they? When they think you’re the only one who cares about them. You can give them what they want, so long as they put in the effort to earn it. Additional Plays Give praise and conditional love. Gently brush aside their boundaries and personal space. Catch More Flies With Honey. Catch More Flies With Honey When a Girl Receives Orders and chooses to obey without hesitation or lip, you may pick 1-2 rewards to give it: Praise it or give it sympathy. Give it a pet name, and optionally a matching Tag. Raise its Status. Offer it sex or physical affection, with you or with someone else. If it accepts, deepen your Bond with it. Give it medical care. The offer of one of the above if it’ll just do one more thing for you. The offer of a Permission if it continues its good behaviour. It can reject your reward if it wishes, and you can Punish it for that rejection, or simply smile and nod. Insidious Conditioning When a Girl has an Intense Bond with you, you can adjust any roll it makes to Disobey Orders by -2.

I'm bad at remembering to share my stuff here but the autistic mech-obsessed trans girls seemed to like this one #GirlFrame #ttrpg #mechsploitation
Bad at Being a Person When you try to hold a conversation, spend Heat and roll. You may not explain what you mean out-of-character. On an 8-10, pick 3 you can do. All others you can’t. - Human words - Normal sentence structure - Fluid body language - Correct facial expressions - Polite eye contact - Deception On a 11+, pick 4, but they give you a Tag based on whichever ones you can’t do. On a 7-, pick 2, or abandon the conversation immediately.

Been working on an autobiographical game recently, probably gonna release later this week.
The text "We Eat Roses to Grow Thorns. An autobiographical game for 2-5 players. By Thistle.M.Ruebsaat" on a white background, framed on both sides by black thorny vines with roses growing on them

One important part of Girl Frame is that the Handler, the GM role, also is a dedicated character with their own rules #ttrpg

A frame for Girl Frame: BAD GIRL #ttrpg #indie

This frame is an Autocrat-Type, meaning its pilots are celebrities or propaganda pieces
BAD GIRL A public favourite - either as a sexy dark celebrity or a ‘love to hate her’ personality, BAD GIRL is a lithe all-black frame with a focus on elegance and overwhelming combat power. She’s fragile, and has been reported to have deleterious effects on her pilot’s psyche through the neurolink. +1 Wired, +1 Light Selfish You can always choose to not exhaust your Bond Dice by giving the Girl helping you a consequence. Assets Darkmatter Pistol (Primary Weapon). A long-barreled pistol that fires explosive rounds, good for giving them a show. Dark Knight (Aesthetic). Wide, sweeping moves and dark coloration makes the frame hard to see in the dark of voidspace, making it work better solo. Talents (+1D) Brush them off. Cause collateral damage. Throw yourself into an unwinnable fight.

Something I really like about working on GIRL FRAME is how each category of Frame is horrible in some new and fun ways.

Here is an Autocrat frame, which tends to have themes around its public relations and girlhood and perception

And a Priestess frame, which wants to eat you #ttrpg
Text that says: BAD GIRL A public favourite - either as a sexy dark celebrity or a ‘love to hate her’ personality, BAD GIRL is a lithe all-black frame with a focus on elegance and overwhelming combat power.

Assets Darkmatter Pistol (Primary Weapon). A long-barreled pistol that fires explosive rounds, good for giving them a show. Dark Knight (Aesthetic). Wide, sweeping moves and dark coloration makes the frame hard to see in the dark of voidspace, making it work best separate from other frames. Talents (+1D) Brush them off. Cause collateral damage. Throw yourself into an unwinnable fight. Text that says: L.U.P. - Let Us Partake A Priestess largely unchanged from her original form, as she autocannibalizes anything installed into her. She eats restraints, her own injured limbs, and eventually often her own pilots. Despite the high turnover rate of her pilots, she continues to see use due to her ability to adapt and grow as she eats herself. +1 Wired, +1 Shield I AM REMADE When you use Tactical Repositioning, you can damage one of your existing Assets to excrete an additional Asset. If you damage a Girl Asset, say what part of you the L.U.P. eats. Assets Biological Keratin-Spikes (Secondary Weapon). Kept well-hidden until they are ready to be released. Autotomy (Form). The Frame can easily detach its own body parts with minimal overall structural damage, and regrow them later. Talents (+1D) Lose a piece of yourself. Wriggle. Consume biomass.

Thinking about mechs today
Screenshot of a ttrpg that says: “Remade You nearly die, Foundation medical care the only thing keeping you alive. Do at least 1 of the following: - Change your Girl Playbook to reflect how you’re different now. - Get amnesia, erasing all your bonds.”
