My #TTRPG VIBE CHECK, featuring the "impossible" combination of streamlined systems AND deep character customization, will release on Black Friday for $5.00 on DriveThruRPG!

Two extra themes will be available as DLC, plus a FREE VERSION of the game for anyone looking to try before they buy!
DO YOU FALL ASLEEP WAITING FOR YOUR TURN? VIBE CHECK PLAYERS DON’T HAVE THAT ISSUE! You deserve better than clunky mechanics, complex dice rolls, and character restrictions slowing things down at the table. That’s why Vibe Check is optimized for maximum fun with minimum effort right out of the gate. Learning the rules?? Takes all of ten minutes. Character builds?? 525 combinations at level 1, and the only reason it takes more than one minute to make a character is because they all look so cool! Rolling dice?? We only do that once per fight. Initiative order?? Your team chooses their own. If you want a game where you can grab your friends and jump right into the action, Vibe Check is the perfect game for you! REASONS WHY YOU NEED THIS GAME INCLUDE: • No stats to memorize; no excessive dice rolls! Make the RPG protagonist you’ve dreamed of or your favorite OC in minutes! • 5 roles, 15 themes, and over 150 abilities let you make character builds ranging from standard RPG fare to unhinged nonsense that no other game will allow! • Make your own strategy and combos! Work with your friends and defeat enemies using guns, swords, magic spells, telekinetic trash compactors, pools of acid, good old rock and roll, angry squirrels, supernovas… • A fully-developed cooking system because my friend Alice made me add one to the game. • Countless hours of fun filled with awesome teamwork, exciting battles, and hilarious interactions. • The best $5.00 you’ve ever spent on a game. VIBE CHECK November 28, 2025 Mark your calendars!

Artist! Quote with your vintage art!
The image depicts a woman in the noir style. It is a digital illustration with clean geometric lines and contrasting shadows. The woman is elegantly dressed in a black off-the-shoulder dress, a pearl necklace, and a fur cape. She has dark wavy hair styled in a retro hairstyle, fair skin, and expressive makeup: dark eyes and bright red lipstick.

HOW TO CONTACT WHAT TO DO Card MASTERCARD + VISA Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards. MASTERCARD (US) +1 (800)-307-7309 phone tree nav: 1-1-2-2-2-1 (INTL) +1 (636)-722-7111 VISA (US + CAN) +1 (800)-847-2911 phone tree nav: 1-1-5. mash account #. Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money. Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy. Paypro PAYPAL + STRIPE Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal. PAYPAL (US + CAN) 1-(402)-935-2050 (AUS) 1800 931 678 (GER) +49 69 945189975 STRIPE (Ireland HQ) 353 1 903 8449 (Cust. Support) (877) 887-7815 +1 (888) 926 2289 (say you are in california) Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic. CITIBANK Bank + BARCLAYS + WELLS FARGO Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure. While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

HUGE update to the BUREAU of CHRONOLOGICAL AFFAIRS. The #Daggerheart campaign frame has been expanded into a 62 page book that now includes an Agent class and a reworked version of the Daggerheart SRD -- stripped down and remixed to fit the game perfectly.

Now includes EVERYTHING you need to play.
A black and white portriat of a white man from the 1940-60s in a suit, hangs in a ornate frame. Below the frame a sign says "This is not the director. Do not speak to this entity."

After months of being unable to play, we finally can!

We are testing Last Hope, our Dark Magical Girls game today so we can make new updates and make sure everything is fun for next year’s launch!

I am fund raising for snacks.

No, I am fine. I just want some empty calories to keep the existential dread at bay. Carbs. I am thinking carbs, something stodgey and probably illegal in several countries due to what can be classed as food.

I may buy a vegetable. To fry.

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

Thank you for Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. I’ve been having a hard time lately, and they help me. Even when my hearing decided to join my poor health, the songs still help my heart deal with it.

See this wonderful #TTRPG? It can be all yours on Black Friday. 😉

And if your bank balance is as questionable as mine is, you can grab the free version and try the game for yourself at no risk.

Alternatively, if you LOVE taking risks, that theme will be available as DLC!
