If you are a divination or oracle deck lover, you should definitely check out Hogswallow. Such a creative idea for an oracle deck and game.

10 years ago, we published our first game, an abstract, storytelling card game, Hogswallow. Today, we are funding a new and improved 10th Anniversary Edition! Please, check it out! Www.kickstarter.com/projects/wicked-clever/hogswallow-10th-anniversary-edition

I think we all need more historical lumberjack storygames in our lives.

Next we got Leylines by @deepdark.games! You play as relic hunters trying to gather items to stop a rising threat. The absolutely sweet thing about this game is that it takes that premise and turns it into a very ingenious world building game using drawn leylines! deep-dark-games.itch.io/leylines

I've been very quiet on here and spending more time analog and offline this year. But we're still working in the background! We are not writing as many new games this year but instead focusing on helping others publish their awesome games, and working on smaller experimental projects.

after listening to the friends at the table AP ive been semi-deliriously talking abt this game at every opportunity bc some of the genrey mechanical stuff is so clever i had moments of fully pausing the pod & standing perfectly still in my kitchen to excitedly think it thru so 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Adam Bell@adambell.games

follow the kickstarter, which will be coming soon (tm). I'm hoping to finish all of the files, order a proof, and then get started preparing to run the campaign in October www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

The Quiet Year is one of the most influential games I've ever played, and every gamer should have a copy on their shelf. (Going for Broke and Dream Askew are great, too!)

Avery Alder, Buried Without Ceremony@lackingceremony.bsky.social

Do you love any of the games that I have created? Whether it's Monsterhearts, Dream Askew, The Quiet Year, Going For Broke, or a deeper cut, now would be a great time to hit quote-tweet and tell your friends about it! It's been a slow month. 💕✨ store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

Visit Zulu's at PAX West at the Seattle Convention Center Summit Building, Sept. 4-7! In A Perfect Rock, find a new planet for the last of your people! Play it on its own or pair it with The Rock Oracle Deck, which bridges the gap between mineralogy, divination, & storytelling.

Table for Two's playthrough of Quy Serra Serra was a ton of fun, so I'm excited and/or frightened to hear why and how the mayor from that game has a doomsday bunker

1. You ran this for a library program! It always makes me happy seeing support for our libraries, and I feel like the indie TTRPG scene puts in the work on that front.

2. Hearing the game worked for kids. I always try to make my games accessible for younger players, but I don't often get the chance to playtest with kids. It's seriously so helpful to hear feedback from people who do.
