Character Idea: A Bolstered character with an alien multidimensional companion that feeds on secrets sucked straight from the megacorps that the character carves a path through, wielding a longblade so harmoniously it’s referred to as their second companion (After p. 26)

Character Idea: An Opposed character who is constantly on the run from the Mysterious Brotherhood of the Ouiji who believe there is only one appropriate means to divine the future; good thing referencing this magic 8 ball for a head keeps them one step ahead! (After p. 21)

Character Idea: An Unknowable character that discovered that the most evolved life form in any domain is the unassuming chicken; a series of incantations allowed the character to merge with the most intelligent chicken known, and as luck would have it, the chicken is really funny (After p. 19)

Domain Idea: A solid plane of mirrored glass; as characters walk across it, they perceive similar, but different, forms in the reflections below, such as an axe wielding orc being reflected as a morningstar wielding hobgoblin. They mostly mimic the character’s movements precisely... mostly.

Never would have fund Arkenstone Publishing's weird gem of a game called Zombie Cinema without @timhutchings.bsky.social. Had a great time playing even though every single one of us died.

Waffles for Esther is an absolute delight of a solo RPG game by @pandiongames.com - my character Maude lost sight of Esther immediately due to a disco-themed high school fundraiser that unexpectedly sprung up, and things kinda got weird after that.

Character Idea: An Inexorable character who is an angel, cast out of heaven for refusing to act as a soldier in the conquering choirs; yet even as you are among those mortals you swore not to subjugate, the instinct to unsheathe the sword is incredibly hard to overcome.

Character Idea: An Opposed character who is trying to eke out an unliving solving murders, chasing down leads, and helping out mysterious clients; if only the local police force wasn’t so ornery about it and entirely staffed with paladins who have this tedious issue with the undead (After p. 15)

An RPG based on an Edward Hopper masterpiece by @titanomachyrpg.com that deals with loneliness. Literally everything I could possibly hope for in a game.

Character Idea: An Inexorable character that was cursed by a bog witch after they trampled their favorite garden while fleeing from a two-and-a-half headed troll; the character called out for aid and the witch winked and before it they were flying high above the rampaging troll (After p. 12)

Character Idea: A Bolstered character who is muffled with a strip of highly intelligent sentient fabric about their neck; the being survives on hope, and the more tenuous, the tastier, so as a result they frequent coffee shops, watching writers trying desperately to finish their novels (After p. 11)

Character Idea: A Novel character who is proof that it’s not the worst idea to read up on the latest health craze before diving in; the grasshopper protein shakes purchased in bulk had some interesting side effects. Like big green eyes and some extra limbs. (After p. 6)

Character Idea: A Legion character that infused an endless series of wolves with demonic hircine energy; now that they’ve merged into a creature the size of a city block it will be far easier to make that commute between domains! Wonder if anyone will be weirded out by this… (After p. 5)

Character Idea: An Unknowable character who has mastered the ability to pierce mysteries others can’t even name; the being has waited upon a mountaintop for those to come seek their wisdom, yet no one comes, I suppose it’s time to take a walk to the people? (After p. 2)
