I’ve read these and they’re extremely good! I’m always looking for minimal prep, short timeframe, opportunities to play hard, and no one does it like Jason, and if you’ve been larping for ages, or if you’re freeform-curious, go pay money for this and play one or all of them ASAP!

The Skim: Stonetop - Old Men Running The World

New hobby! I’m thinking I might get really into calligraphy and hand lettering. Messy first try, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out- hopefully next time I can avoid smudges or wrinkles in the paper haha

Adorkable, Apophenia, blogosphere, e-reader, texting. This is fun! And self referential as an excellent example of the second word.

hi we're comparatively pretty close to the next stretch goal for seven-part pact, which will see all the fantastic artists and editors who helped make seven-part pact a reality get a bonus! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

Seven-Part Pact

A fantastical, ornate TTRPG from Possum Creek about the might and folly of powerful wizards bound by a venerable Pact.

Today @jenkatwrites.bsky.social @sociable-turtle.bsky.social and I playtested @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social 's new game, "Mousetrap." It was a fantastic experience and a mental workout - and yet another game I adore by Asa! Here are some preliminary thoughts (we are not done playing). 1/

are there some issues with this game? no. but would i change some stuff now with hindsight? no. but could it be improved? no.

I've been working on Mousetrap since October. It's my most ambitious and complex game yet, so playtesting has been slow, in odd chunks, and with extra clunk. But I'm thinking the core pieces may have fallen into place today, thanks to collaborators/playtesters. More to go. But lots of progress.

this is a really helpful resource for anyone who has been askign what the game is like or wanting to get a better sense of the play experience

a lot of people were asking for this, weve put previews of the rulebook, the grimoire, and the necromancer's codex up on the seven-part pact kickstarter page so people can get a sense of how the game plays www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

New arrivals! Persuasion I’ve played before and adore, Sykes-Picot I’ve wanted for a while. But Swords Against. Haunting. I’ve yet to decipher much (and I’ve not opened the letter) but what I can see is dragging me deeper, beckoning me to lose myself in the mystery (and see myself in it, perhaps.)

“Why are men afraid of women?” “If your strength is only the other's weakness, you live in fear,” Ged said. “Yes; but women seem to fear their own strength, to be afraid of themselves.” “Are they ever taught to trust themselves?” Ged asked “No,” she said.

Come listen to some very cool people (including myself!) talk about what it is to be a spiritual leader as well as a wizard! Tonight! In five hours!

IT'S WIZARD WEEK!!!! So we begin w/ the end in mind. Join us today at 5p et as experienced Necromancers @brianflaherty.bsky.social & @eclipse.gay join Tony & @jdragsky.bsky.social to talk about the gloomy gates of death & the old enemies of the pact. Youtube.com/plusoneexp 3/X

(oh, i should have added-- i don't mind if i lose _because losing is part of the emotional experience of the art_. if you play a game which has loss conditions but only ever win, you have not experienced the whole thing yet.)

if you haven't tended to play games critically (choosing to engage with the rules on their own terms and then observing, as you play, what the rules are doing to your psychology) i super-recommend trying it out. it is a great way to experience art.

(discovering ludonarrative dissonance is particularly fun, for me. it's game design's equivalent of irony.)

hey let's all hang out and think about things really hard together. maybe we can have a metaphor that can sit between us and we can bandy it back and forth

Tomorrow we begin! Day 1 is the Necromancer w/@brianflaherty.bsky.social of @manysidedmedia.bsky.social & @eclipse.gay How do you handle the gates of death? How do you stop the enemies of the pact? Join us at 5p eastern tomorrow to find out!

In this vein- I just started running a Stonetop, and for our first adventure I decided I would prep only their destination in detail and a loose sense of where they would be along the way and what categories of things they might run into, but everything on the way I’d roll on a table for, live. 1/

sam “genial conversationalist” sorensen@samsorensen.bsky.social · 2w ago

and so I think in more simulationist-leaning games, it's important to have some of that chaos, that unresolvedness. sometimes things just don't work out or connect or mean anything clear, so you move on. decenter the player [character] not just in the world but also to themselves

I'm sure most people Who'll see this have already voted for Seraphina but if you haven't you should!
