Text from the Affinity Serif website's landing page about some potential big changes coming on October 30. It says says "Creative freedom is coming. Sign up to be the first to know. True creative freedom is just around the corner. October 30."

Here's a neat little bundle with 42 games and entertainments you can print and play at home, all for $5.00 😱 (you need a printer though lol)

With each purchase, the money is split between the 25 creatives who have contributed a project to the bundle. Including me!

Enjoy! 🥰

So I fancied up and printed out the cards because the game is getting good now 😊

(a printed paper card + a poker card + a card sleeve) × 36 = a super fancy prototype!

Stacks of card sleeves, poker cards, printed prototype cards, and sleeved cards for a paper prototype card game.

I should be doing other things, but in light of a recent post by @itchio.bsky.social asking developers to tag their games, physical games, and game assets with how the artefact uses (or doesn't use) a i generated content, I made this! 🤣

It's accurate as of about twenty minutes ago. 😎

Enjoy! 😊

For anyone curious about #cosy #cozy #tabletop #roleplaying games, I think there's no better time to explore them than now because SO MANY awesome designers are writing them these days.

In particular (noting that one of my games is in this), see the 68 games in this bundle!

I made a poetic little thing and it's in this game bundle for another half-day or so! If you like heartwarming or introspective or odd or quirky little lyrical games, I'm sure that you'll find something nice in here 😊

What better time for a new beginning than in the next ten days? You'll be able to bring a whole collection of TTRPGs with you wherever you go (so long as you print them, or download them on your portable telephone receiver) with this itchio bundle!

An image for the New Beginnings TTRPG Bundle. Text on the image says "Can penguins play them? Let's find out!" and "many games, big bundl". A large penguin and small penguin stand center stage on a soothing beach, and the larger one is holding an open book in its wing.

I have no idea if this will become a thing, but I was talking to some friends about a potential upcoming itchio bundle and my brain constructed this from the prompt. Enjoy 🌌
A mockup image for a potential game. A solar eclipse casts a vast shadow upon a person, who is inconsequentially small compared to the star itself. Text on the image says "NO STAR LIKE HOME, an existential microgame by aarongoss.itch.io"

Four days left on this artisanal winter holiday TTRPG itchio bundle! Each game costs less than a cup of coffee, and contains more fun than one too! (But all are caffeine free)

PS: You can gift itchio bundles to your friends, too!

In the next installment of L.A.B. Crawler Mechnicians (one of my favourite games that I've made), you're stranded in the icy wastes and time is running out until your exosuit integrity fails... better get to shelter fast

You can get L.A.B. Crawler Mechnicians here: aarongoss.itch.io/lab-crawler-...
Preview snip from an upcoming game of mine, showing some imagery from the player's "LAB Exosuit" that is "Keeping you alive". There are some icons for lungs, brain, a flame, a lightning bolt, and a clock icon with an arrow indicating that time will tick down.

Ok the emojis were supposed to look like this lol, but I know the desktop client has some issues with some of the emojis 😂

Hi friends, I'm Aaron! I make games and teach about that, too. Analogue games (and one-card games in particular) are my jam!

Follow along if you want interesting thoughts and creative things on your social feeds, some posts about game bundles, and updates about projects I'm making.

Chat soon! 😊
An image about me! It has a photo of me, a blurb about the cool things I do that says "I'm passionate about accessible, inclusive, creative game development, and I teach about that, too. Analogue games (and one-card games in particular) are my jam! You can often find me posting about cool stuff and the projects I'm creating on Mastadon, X, Discord, and now also Bluesky. So, come and say hello! aarongoss.itch.io @raspilicious" Behind the blurb/info card is an array of the card games I've made.

That's understandable. In the hopes of keeping on the topic of screen reader accessibility, here are images of my game's playing field, as well as an image of the ASCII depiction I added in the text file of the game.

I realise now from your video above that a text reader would implode on it... 🙃
An image of my one card game depicting the front and back of the card. It shows some rules on the left, and a playing field on the right. An image of the text-only version of my game DESTRUCTO-BALL. It is an extract from the text file, and shows an ASCII playing field in the same pattern as the image in the original, full-graphics version of the game, but "drawn" with text. It may not be accessible for screen readers.
