Thank you to everyone who supported the Free TTRPG Bundle this weekend, either by sharing about it or grabbing it!

It did surprisingly well thanks to all of you, and you can bet we'll be back next year with a whole new bundle!

This is what I mean by "just leave a review" 😁 you don't need to write a poem, if you liked a game even a single word - heck, even a thumbs up emoji - is enough to make the Steam algorithm (and the developer) happy!

What's an overlooked US or Canadian midsize city that would make a great location setting for a neo-noir urban horror game?

Bonus: If the region is especially good for small towns and rural/wild areas for variety.

I am really curious about initiative. A festival that is focused on games with social impact. Games do have this impact, but so little of them are serious about it.

Can anyone recommend accounts to follow that boost indie games and indie game devs? I've been having a tough time finding quality accounts since I joined the fediverse.

Today I tried what Geometry Script is in Unreal Engine 5. Cool features, but I won't use it for the game. Maybe only as tools for level design

Spending insomnia working on KILL THE CANDY KING. That OOMPA rebellion game. Hack of DICK PUNCH EVERY SUIT I've run some times now. One of the things you can do is unite to sing/recite poetry as a group and get an extra set of actions, modify rooms/machines, or heal your fallen.

Anybody have any public domain or stock art recommendations for a game about oompa loompas rebelling against the candy king and his child soldiers?

I'm very excited about one of the big changes coming in our house style. Starting with We Came In Peace [in the upcoming 2nd Edition], our solo games are getting converted for multiple play modes: solo, 1-on-1, 1 PC multiplayer, & multi GM. 1/3

Middle of the night bonus:
WIP sneak peak at the new intro for the upcoming 2nd Edition of We Came In Peace.

Get the current version and get the update free when it drops in coming weeks:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/334297/We-Came-In-Peace-Alien-survivalhorror-solo-RPG?affiliate_id=741284

The alien comes from an intergalactic civilization of hive minds, unified beings, telepathic eusocial empires, and similar group-minded beings. It is itself a unifying species, absorbing others into its collective whole. Generally, species targeted are facing the loss of the collectiveness and see the offer of Unity as salvation. Earth is different. It is a cursed world, a damned sphere, for it is a world of Splinters. Splinters are single-minded, individualist creatures. It is seen as akin to an infectious disease that threatens civilization and even survival itself. The alien must violate its own morality and self to restore itself and escape this unholy hell before they are forever lost, themselves a Splinter. They will then no longer be a warning to themself and the others, they will be the threat itself.
The game, being a game, comes with rules of play. It starts off describing the play roles and basic world setup. Then it goes through creating the player alien and the rules of play. The rules include a dice oracle that can be used by World Spirits for unprepped pickup games and by solo players or shared players in place of asking the World Spirit questions. The rules include restoring your body and self, the Splinter corruption growing within you, regaining and using your grasp of hyperscience, handling hunters and sympathizers, and triggering and resolving the game ending.
While the presentation and mechanics are arguably story-driven, this game is an open sandbox. There are no set specific story stages. The alien must push forward in its quest to see how the story emerges. The game can be played several times and always evolve differently. Generally, you play until one of the end game conditions are met. However, ff you are playing with a time crunch for a limited session, when there are 10-20 minutes left in the session, trigger the end game that you are closest to fulfilling. You can also adjust the goals to fit your intended play length. Overall, this is a game about exploring the self and viewing our everyday world from an outside perspective. Embrace the strangeness, horror, and fascination. Make the familiar new.

    Have you used Motif? Tell me about it!
    I wanna hear about it all. Your solo plays. How you use it for low prep GMing. The ways it influenced or formed mechanics in your indie games. All of it!
    I love hearing about where people take Motif.

    Based on how feedback about a lot of people play, some of my solo-labeled games will be getting relabeled as solo-capable 2 player games. Going to port in my play roles from NEVER Stop Smiling 2nd Edition to make the character and GM sides, well, play roles.

    Talking to some of my longtime Thought Punks help friends, made the decision to cut the starter playset/adventure out of the initial beta release of NEVER Stop Smiling 2nd Edition. We will finish it up when I get my glasses in. The rest is ready for public view, so get ready!

    UPPDATE: Released! https://dice.camp/@thoughtpunks/112108246660482958

    So I've got some requests for DICK PUNCH EVERY SUIT hacks.

    What are your suggestions? Who or what should we seek to DICK PUNCH?
