I really love this one, I think it's really fascinating and impactful to imagine TTRPGs from a place of nonfiction or memoir! really great for empathy, like living inside someone's life and intimate experiences for a bit. I love all of the different mechanics you decided to include and the depth of the writing, it is really lovely. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us! I'm transmasc, but many of these experiences still really resonated with me, including many that weren't even directly related to gender transition. Again, thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome, and thank YOU for checking it out!!!
I first discovered Logan (by Logan) early in my experience with TTRPGs, and I loved that he managed to capture his experiences in the game as a trans man. And I agree: so many of the experiences are so similar, and even the mirrored experiences are easy to relate to. I came up with SHe years later on my own but it still shared several similarities.
And thank you for mentioning the mechanics! I meant to include far more of those but as my week was packed and time ran out, I just... wrote my head off lol. Seeing your comment about them reminded me to spice up more of them, and add more. I think artifact games are so cool and want to include more of that in my games going forward 🧡
Also, it's so lovely to meet you btw Ven! You did such an awesome job with Astral Barista and then you wrote such a wonderful comment here as well :D
Oh and thanks also for mentioning the experiences that aren't directly related! I feel like so many of the amazing experiences of self-discovery and eliminating repression/self-hate are universal, or at least can be if people allow themselves to explore 🙌
This is beautifully-written! I haven't had the chance to sit down and play, but reading through, this is so, so evocative. And I am so glad that you let us see this draft -- thank you.
Aaaawwwww thank you so much Jess!!!!!! When I first got into TTRPGs I learned about "lyrical games" and truthfully that's what most of my games are. Just reading it is 100% a valid experience 🧡 Especially with 49 other incredible games in this jam and only a week to check them all out!
this was phenomenal to read. it has so much heart and genuineness, isn't afraid to explore such a wide variety of feelings and reactions to scenarios. i've never read a journaling game quite like it! thank you so much for sharing it. :)
