AND @jmstar.bsky.social said, "The Cortège hinges on epochal issues of order and rebellion and peace and freedom, all mutually exclusive, all disastrous in their own ways. Since I adore underdogs, Herin Nindahar is my favorite character." Demo for one of the #NineSpaceGames: bpglink.com/9SG-demo

I particularly loved making these racing spaceships for one of the three-player games (all games have a fixed player count, either 3, 4, or 6)

I had the pleasure of working on the layout for this amazing set of games by @jmstar.bsky.social. each game is wonderfully unique, and the unique sci-fi setting that binds them is revealed to you the more you play/read. thank you for letting me put my spin on it! bullypulpitgames.com/products/nin...

Nine Space Games is now available! Get it here: bpglink.com/9spacegames or here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... as you prefer, but definitely get it.

Nine Space Games

Nine Space Games is a collection of freeform games that share a universe and a set of rules. They are designed to be played however you like, and they play fast—each lasts no more than an hour. And th...

Henry IV, Part 3. Act II, Scene 5. The king watches as two men loot the corpses of enemies. Each flips the body over to reveal someone they love. A son discovers that he's killed his father, and a father discovers that he's killed his son. It's on the nose - war is bad. But the scene is so heavy.

"The Coronation is a great first game - four clearly-defined characters, all with interesting choices to make, and a few with some extremely menacing hidden backstory. My favorite character in The Coronation is Captain Ringstep, who only wants to do right but will probably do wrong instead."

#NineSpaceGames will finally be released this month! @jmstar.bsky.social has commented on each game in the book and we'll start today with his thoughts on "The Coronation". #TTRPGs #RPGs #games #larp bullypulpitgames.com/products/nin...

Someone is going to have to talk me out of going full suprematist with my next game book cover.

VanderMeer, Jeff. Annihilation (2014).

Nine Space Games is in our warehouse! It looks great. Here's The Arrangements, maybe my favorite, shamelessly stolen from Handel's 1739 opera "Berenice". But in space! I really love this format - play it in an hour, cut straight to the big feels and agonizing decisions.

"A stew" is not the outcome one expects from The Bear Lovers

Camilla Zamboni@czamboni.bsky.social · 6d ago

More Zhenya by @jmstar.bsky.social and @bullypulpithq.bsky.social today. We played "The Bear Lovers" and together we crafted a tragic, cruel, tender, and absolutely grotesque tale on the transformative power of love - which ended with a delicious... stew. 👀

The performers are professionals and the show is always hilarious. Well worth your precious Gen Con time!

@nessundovelab.bsky.social sent me a copy of their English-language version of Nick Wedig's fantastic game Rusałka, which I have been a die-hard fan of since forever. It is just bananas - very beautiful, very menacing, 11/10. Can't wait to play again.

I have a huge pile of games that are in playable shape but turned out just OK in playtest, needing what feels like a lot of work they don't really deserve. I'm not sure what to do with this stuff, but increasingly I'm feeling like it should be something other than "shove it in a drawer".

Played Metal Showcase 11PM by @jmstar.bsky.social! @ktwelves.bsky.social facilitated this beautiful where the collective of a bassist's consciousness came together to get a band and rock out in the Battle of the Bands! A "choose your own adventure" style game, it truly could have gone any way!

Tonight's playtest - sure, a bunch of people died in a West Virginia coal mine in 1905, but fewer than history would suggest, and the Karl-Marx-reading UMW plant wasn't one of 'em. I learned a lot! my friends learned a lot about retreat mining and mud caps and firedamp.

Thanks for playing!
