Two people should buy/download Pale Dot real quick so I can say I had 100 downloads today!

(You might already own it from a bundle!)

Pale Dot works for both one-shots and campaign play and encourages players to tell whimsical, surreal, and existential expedition stories inspired by media like @mobiusdigitalgames.com's Outer Wilds and @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's Annihilation.

An excerpt from the book giving an example of play. With it is a depiction of a floral dustling approaching an ominous black orb covered in green fire. The limb of another dustling reaches towards them from the foreground. An depiction of 3 multi-species dustlings in front of the image of a moon meant to evoke the Apollo 11 photograph.

Launch into the heavens and explore 36 locations full of strange evocative prompts for improvisational roleplay. On their journey the Cosmonauts will find clues to their cosmic mystery and perhaps even find themselves!

A depiction of a spaceship launching while dustlings watch in the foreground. In the sky are two moons, one with an ominous eye crater, the other glitching out of reality. A list of 8 cosmic objects.

Players will embody a crew of dustling cosmonauts and their trusty makeshift ship to propel the adventure forward in addition to the Elements, narrative pillars that reach and allow each player to be a mini-GM for a specific sliver of the setting.

A crew of 4 reptilian dustlings sit close to one another, stranded on a world in the wreckage of their ship. They appear to with a companion that has changed into a new form. An excerpt from the book explaining the Elements, their moves, and an introduction to one of them, The Cosmic Wilderness. The background depicts blue and pink flora.

Pale Dot is a collaborative storytelling game for 2-5 players about a crew of dustlings, non-human cosmonauts journeying beyond their world in search of answers.

Craft an alien setting together and propel its denizens into space in the name of cosmic mystery!

The vibe lately.
A puppet of a mammal of some sort with sad realistic eyes laying on a table.

Ahh, thanks dictionary dot com, good to know! 🍩🍩🍩
A screen grab of dictionary.com that reads: Who uses 🍩 doughnut emoji? The doughnut emoji is used to refer to doughnuts, both real and metaphorical.

I took a nice selfie yesterday but also succeeded at capturing the most “in memory of Devin” energy that currently exists in a photo of me. Feel free to use this at my memorial if I ever kick buckets.

It’s been very nice to know that folks were upset that I didn’t get nominated for any CRIT awards. This is why.

Very funny to stumble on this phrase in a nearly 70 year old book.
The phrase “immortal brain-rot” on the page of the book A Canticle For Liebowitz”.
