thank you so much for your kind words and time!!! 

thanks so much for reading it Ennio!!!

Hey Elliot, I'm getting an error at 950, saying that the path is invalid. Any idea how I can fix this? 

haha thanks so much Lex!

Hell yeah 

thank you so much for reading it!!! Truly grateful you’re spending time on my work. 

I think plenty of long-running campaigns could do with a chance to let your traumatized OCs dip their toes in the sand. But its opening page is something I want to dig into further, because I think Beach Episode’s safe exterior comes into conflict with a relatively new notion in the gaming space.

the game is scheduled to launch September 24! 

Nguyen’s works place the player in the position of being one of the least powerful people, a civilian from South Vietnam, caught between the oncoming communist forces and suffering under American occupation. The emotion and sincerity of both texts is undeniable, and the perspective they espouse is one of desperation, horror, and the sheer difficulty of survival. 

Thanks for writing. I'll be thinking about this for a long time.

What a wonderful, pulpy, imaginative book. Incredibly imagined alt history of earth, British military adventurism without racism, and a thorough understanding of 19th century tactics, deployed against evil crabs. This book absolutely ripped, I’ll absolutely be checking out other books by Chappell after this one. 

I’m glad you liked it! I lived all around Indiana for about a decade, so games like this have a special place in my heart

In Hessan Yongdi’s Tales of a City, the final step in city generation is tying non-player characters to the structures you’ve developed throughout the course of play.

yes! 

The thematic core at the heart of Fetch My Blade is loyalty. 

I wonder if Siew realized in 2020 how relevant undead machines would be to the future of labor.

Conservatism, consumption, and cruelty. These are the themes by which Godkiller justifies deicide. Its effective use of the history of humanity’s resentment of religion makes for an evocative, intimate duet experience, one I think will absolutely find its target audience when the final version is released. Players who have struggled with religious oppression, questioned why their all-loving Gods would smite the innocent, or just want to sink their teeth into something holy will find a great deal of narrative satisfaction in this text. 

Here's my entry, for "Furred Worms"

Excerpt from an interview with Heshe, the first human to take up with the Worms. 

… and another thing you gotta know about the Worms, is that they’re real finicky about manners. Of course you shouldn’t touch their fur without permission, but it’s much deeper than that. A worm in a cape speaks last, it’s rude to ask their opinion too early. A spoon is a good birthday present, but a knife is an invitation to courtship. They aren’t particular about who’s shacking up with who, but another fellow gave his two lovers a dagger each, and when they found out, the only thing left of him was a big boneless knot of flesh. 

Otherwise, they’re friendly. Never had an empty belly since I joined the cult. You’d think creatures without hands would be dismal at cooking, but I never had such a hearty leek and turtle stew in my life. They expect you to work for your keep, and since I got thumbs, I’ve been really useful in helping with their paperwork, but if you pull your weight, it’s as pleasant as any kingdom above ground. Just watch your step around the mercury.

Unrelated, any chance you’ve got a bezoar? I’ve been pissing blood ever since I fell in the Mirror Pool.

It is not Ahab’s fate to slay Moby Dick. It is not Satan’s destiny to overthrow God. And it is not man’s place to snare the Devil.  

But your doomed crew will try anyway, commit hubris of the highest order, and if you’re incredibly lucky, fill the Hellwhale’s hide with harpoons, to earn your final reward.

Patchwork World is unconcerned with convention, it does not care about white space or polish. It is a text that cares about its reader, future players, and trusts they will care more about its content than its cover. It’s a game that I want so badly to be the model for indie designers everywhere, because it’s first and foremost about its words. 

thank you so much Jeff!!!

With a solid core of prompts and scenes to help players simulate a day in the life of a professional duelist, Corps a Corps ramps up wonderfully into emotional and tense battles that resolve into a satisfying climax. 

thanks so much for looking through my work!! 

The quality and scope of files up on itchio varies dramatically, but the fact is people love making games. The current “industry” of tabletop games is a mess, but the thing that endears me so deeply to indie games is that they are, by and large, labors of love. 

Untitled Moth Game is certainly no exception.

Thank you so much!!
