Just so everyone's aware, both Girl Frame and A Most Bloody Devotion were designed to win specific arguments, and We Eat Roses to Grow Thorns was self-harm. Someday I'll write a game about kink, probably. Maybe.

I'm not saying it doesn't HAPPEN, but "all weird indie TTRPGs are a kink thing" is reductive. There is also "designing RPGs to publish your worldbuilding bible", "designing RPGs because you invented a neat dice trick", "designing RPGs to win an argument", and "designing RPGs as an act of self harm".

Absolutely THIS. People think a dollar or two isn't "real"support, or isn't enough and like no no, IT IS ACTUALLY SO MUCH bc it adds up! It feels like just the $1 on your end, but on our end it ends up being $10 or $100 or even $1000s A dollar goes farther than you think

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

Ok now I'm convinced this would be very to have as part of a con crawl. Every indie TTRPG booth as their own creature you can battle and catch.

I can feel this idea shaping in my head. Walking around your neighborhood, using things you see to create and catch pokemon like critters. Walk past another trainer and battle, trading cards. Would be really fun at a convention, as part of a crawl. Something pretty new for me!
