hey friends!! i'd love to find someone more mechanically-minded to work on a project with! i've been rolling around all kinds of writing and worldbuilding for a while as i try to figure out my next ttrpg project and the simple fact is i'm bad at mechanics lol. i'd love to find someone who isn't who's interested in working on a game!!
to note, i'm also perfectly content to share the writing portion of the game (i think a project should belong to us both, and i think caring about the world it takes place in is a part of that, and it's easier to care when you have a hand in it!!), and i can sometimes rattle around loose mechanical thoughts, but i'm looking for a pairing where we at least Predominantly have each of our roles.
things i like and want to make games about:
- fantasy
- magical girls
- queerness
- relationships
- farming rpg vibes
- domesticity in fantasy worlds
- exploration
- witches
- tarot
here's some of the concepts i've been tossing around for various lengths of "a while" that i would be perfectly happy to turn into a joint project—but i'm glad to come up with something new, too!
- pokémon adventures, with a heavy emphasis on the vibes of "this is a kind world where people will help you wherever you go, and you will find friends along the way, and you'll travel together sometimes but not always, and it's full of wonder and joy and love"
- game about running a fantasy tavern where one player is the tavern keeper and everyone else sort of shares the traditional role of gm, playing staff, patrons, plot, and so on
- magical girl game using a card game played with tarot cards as the main mechanic to guide the characters' collectathon and battles
- i want to figure out the mechanics for a multiplayer letter-writing game instead of just a 2-player exchange so you can have letter writing networks and i have SO many ideas for this you have NO idea
- two-player letter writing game between a witch who's off on her big coming-of-age travel adventure and the friend she left behind in her hometown—could also be about a fantasy adventurer, a superhero, a sci-fi astronaut; i have ideas
please feel free to give me a holler!! if you drop your discord i can add you, or you can email courtney@magicalgurll.com if it's easier.
