I'm planning a Breathless one-shot that will use a town map exploration system inspired by Silent Hill.

In our first Kickstarter for Dungeon Date, we got SO CLOSE to funding our last stretch goal, 🧪POTIONS🧪which would add 10 new powerful treasure cards. Potions are back, expanded to 24 cards with basic rules and a Volatile Potions mode where they might explode! 💥

👹Boss Monsters 👹add a unique effect to the dungeon at the start of the game, and one hero will face off against the Boss at the end! A simple addition that adds a lot of variety and another layer of competition to your ♥️#DungeonDate ⚔️ adventures.

The ✨Dungeon Diva✨ adds a new player role to DUNGEON DATE, and expands the game to 5 players. Play a fantabulous adventurer that wants the ♥️LURV♥️ of the other heroes to themselves. Anticipate where other players go each turn to score a Diva Date, or slay pesky monsters trying to steal their hearts.

I'm at #Origins2025! Come play Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes or my upcoming game, Hotel Olympus in the Games on Demand room! We're demoing Dungeon Date and Super Squad High too, though those slots are pretty much full.

🔥Turn up the heat🔥 on revenge, ambition, and feelings in my new #onepageRPG for March, APPETITE. You play kitchen staff at a restaurant on the biggest night of your careers. It uses a colored die system inspired by @deadlyfredly.bsky.social's Don't Rest Your Head.

It's probably the worst way to sell the game, but Super Squad High is secretly an indie #ttrpg / #boardgame hybrid. You're playing a taut co-op strategy game but also coming up with funny dating moments from indie-rpg-inspired narrative prompts. Punching bad guys + romance subplot! 👊😘

My 2 cents as a crowdfunding-driven creator. A lone project is already a circus, you are just running the entire thing by yourself. Getting people to care is very hard. I would much rather work in concert with other small creators instead of competing with them for the same dollars.

One of my favorite parts of Super Squad High is working together with other players to fight crime! It feels great when you have exactly the card another player needs to defeat a danger!

Most superhero board games just focus on cool powers and punching bad guys. I really wanted to capture the full Peter Parker, my life is falling apart UWU experience with Super Squad High, so relationships are a big part of the game.(Though you still get to punch bad guys!)

The player board from Super Squad High hints at how two of the three pillars of gameplay interact with each other -- student/school stuff on the left, superhero stuff on the right!
