Good morning,

I will be at PAX Unplugged this year. Between Last Kiss and Games on Demand, I will be quite bsy. Early mornings in the GoD space, like before 9:45 AM, are the best time to try to talk to me.

I will be running Last Kiss at GoD. I cannot hold you a spot. Line up 30 mins early, rm 107

It's day 2 of LastKissGame.com We are $20 away from unlocking the Champion, so let's talk about what it is. The Champion was one of the early playbooks. They are obsessed with being the very best at one thing. You decide what the thing is. Could be Acting, Cheer, Chess, Hacking, Kendo, Wrestling

Ok let's talk about the Deathborn playbooks for Last Kiss. Hopelessness is one of the themes we explore in the game, and a goal was to give people tools to explore uncomfortable topics as best we could. Narratively I think PCs should die when its good for the story

The Discarded was another early playbook, but won't be available in the Quickstart

In a lot of ways they're the balance to the Unfortuate, so here's some more art we didn't use. Discarded has strict truths they live by, like a Paladin whose prayers go unanswered

The Amalgamate is the first playbook we are saving for the full version of Last Kiss. In many ways, it's a playable version of a critique on generative AI. In other ways it represents the evils of modern insecurities. Amalgamate craves popularity over individuality

Ten minutes till LastKissGame.com

The last playbook in the quickstart is the Witch. The witch sees the darkness as evil sure, but also the best avenue for change there is. The world sucks. The world is cruel. Why wouldn't you change reality?

There's a lot of power fantasy here, and its very trans

The Unfortunate was one of the first playbooks I wrote for LastKissGame.com The art below actually didn't make the cut, but I still like it because of how much it harkens to a major inspiration, Utena Revolutionary Girl.

This playbook is aware of the darkness and the coming end. And that sucks

I wrote the Juggernaut with the classic unstoppable fool trope in mind for LastKissGame.com and what really surprised me, was how popular this playbook was during playtesting.

Your Jugg might be a himbo, or they might just be someone who pushes the terror of the world aside. #TTRPG

The Horror is a take on the classic transforming monster in LastKissGame.com You might be a werewolf, vampire, demon, mermaid, or anything you can imagine

You start the game as an extension of the darkness, and boy do you have FEELINGS about it. Seek normalcy, before it's no longer in your control
November 10, 2025 at 4:18 PM
The Chairperson has it's roots in the classic anime trope of the scheming student body president. They have the Influencer move, which allows them to spend Main Character Energy to assign anyone a Label. This gives themselves and allies an edge whenever needed, but they need to have MCE to spend it

Inspired by a metaphor on the @plusoneexp.bsky.social discord, here's a preview of LastKissGame.com

These are the first two principles, which are not just for the GMs, but all players.

One of my experiences this comes from (of many) is getting to play For the Queen at Big Bad Con.

And that ties into Principle 10 Take Responsibility
(which borrows heavily from @johnharper.bsky.social 's Blades in the Dark)

Own your desires, advocate for them and take action. Own your desires, advocate for them and take action.

That doesn't mean ignoring others

Last Kiss Hype Preview

We have 13 Principles, and they act as guidance for all, the facilitator and those controlling the main characters.

Principle 6 is about blurring the lines between how we see characters and concepts. I love when this happens in supernatural and horror

In #LastKiss you can play a witch that is not so subtly full of trans themes. No reason at all for that. It certainly wasn’t created out of anger.

I'll have a limited number of buttons available at #PAXUnplugged. Did I use my new #TTRPG as an excuse to make a button I've been wanting for years as a neurodivergent person? Yes I did.

Can you go to LastKissGame.com right now and follow the game before it launches in two weeks? Yes you can

We regret that we need to cancel the show on November 2nd due to low ticket sales. We love out communities outside of Boston and will continue to look for opportunities to serve you.

The DOTS RPG Project is well deserving of your support. Learn more at dotsrpg.org/

So being a main character quickly becomes both a boon and a danger. You can do things no one else can. Your joy is important, because it makes your suffering so much more thrilling. Do poorly often, and you become boring, expendable. Do too well, too frequently, and you’ll end the world.
October 21, 2025 at 3:14 PM
In Last Kiss, the types of moves where you roll are not happening frequently. They are a big deal that show how the main characters are different from everyone else. You stand out not just in the story but to the darkness, which serves as both the antagonist and the primary audience.
October 21, 2025 at 3:09 PM
I see we’re talking about mechanics where rolling high isn’t always best. I became enamored with this idea through Defy the Gods by @hecticelectron.bsky.social. In Last Kiss it represents the malevolence of the world working through you. We call it Breaking tge Barrier LastKissGame.com
October 21, 2025 at 3:04 PM
In Last Kiss the most common mechanics are very simple RP moves, very similar to Belonging Outside Belonging. There’s no rolling here. It’s essentially guidance on how to play an archetype that occasionally tells you to either gain or spend a token. These moves encourage a rhythm but don’t force it

10/17, 4 PM. Outside Fenway Community Health.

We stand together and make it clear that we will not abandon our trans youth and young adults. We do not bend a knee to the unlawful threats of wannabe tyrants. This is Boston. We do not comply in advance.

We have our next Dungeons and Drag Nuns show coming up the Sunday after Halloween. Want to sit at a table and watch drag performers instead of clubbing? Me too!

Come in costume and we'll take pictures with drinks so your friends know you're the best kind of fun!

I'm taking these screenshots myself. Just direct and frankly absurd lies. If you're going to lie, you could at least be creative
