Four-Hour Holonet Broadcast from the Failed Hotel Spaceship is a one-page RPG about the employees of a hotel spaceship that's about to close.

Inspired by Jenny Nicholson's video and A More Civilized Age's tour of the Star Wars hotel at Disney. PDF versions, including a printable booklet, are free here: https://erinking.itch.io/four-hour-holonet-broadcast

It's sometimes remarked that my games offer some very strange playable archetypes, but I feel it's worth emphasising that compared to many published tabletop RPGs, my stuff is prretty restrained.

(Excerpts from Troika!, Patchwork World, Greed, and Warped, respectively.)

2025: Harvest | Aaron on Aaron on Aaron

Aaron on Aaron on Aaron- 2025: "HARVEST"

Me, Aaron King, and Aaron Lim have revealed our Council to the world. Join us as we chat about things that have the same name, and then also talk about how our years went.

We compare, and even contrast, three works titled "Harvest:" The 2013 novel by Jim Crace, the 2024 boardgame by Keymaster Games, and the 2025 TTRPG by Luke Jordan.

Discussion points:

the cozyfication of farm work

how exactly one might "play" a novel

the facets of single word titles

looking back on how 2025 treated us

wishing better for 2026.

"Now, everyone knows you shouldn't go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. And I'm not a Sicilian, but our final sauce, Raising Iocane, comes in at a deathly 1 million on the Scoville scale."

I've been working away for months at a sort of amorphous rpg project (a spiritual sequel to Treasures of the Nightwives, in a way; a bronze-age-ish fantasy thing). It's still just a collection of increasingly-complicated notes, but in the meantime here's a thematically-connected drawing. I've got nornishwomen on the brain.

Make a picrew, they said, it will be fun and quick, they said. (They being me.) Do feel free to share the results if you use it, I'd love to see what people come up with!

A black-&-white variant of that twi'lek drawing from a while ago, to keep with the "West End Games star wars RPG supplement" look.
