[ID: a cover image for the game "advanced darning & dragons". it has the title in large dark brown text in a somewhat cursive handwritten style font. in smaller dark blue letters at the bottom it reads "enlarged for your viewing ease - are you due for your eye exam?". the background is a wall of shelves with many different skeins of yarn in different colors. there is a slightly transparent light tan textbox behind the letters that is shaped like a rough piece of paper. end ID]
Your name is [redacted] and you’ve been writing [series title removed by editor] for decades. It has everything – adventure, conquest, romance, betrayal, heroism, and of course, wizards and dragons and stuff like that, as all good high fantasy series need. What can you say, you’re a good writer!
The thing is, you’ve been writing under a penname, so no one knows you’re the author. Which is a really good thing, considering the plots of your novels may be a little … inspired. Not stolen. Just. Lightly lifted.
From very specific people.
Namely, your long-time knitting group, [title removed due to identifiable information], that meets at the [removed] Community Center every Thursday at 2.
Some people come, some people go, but it’s always good material.

In Advanced Darning & Dragons solo mode, you need a 4 sided die, an 8 sided die, tarot cards, and a way to write. You'll generate elderly people using the knitter table, draw tarot cards to inspire their gossip of the week, and then write in your journal how you're transforming that into a high-stakes, campy, high fantasy adventure.
In multiplayer mode, you'll need an 8 sided die, tarot cards, a way to write, and 3-6 players (no GM necessary). Each player will create their Oldsona, draw tarot cards to generate their gossip of the week, and then will assign themselves a fantasy archetype and their plot beat for the chapter. Players will casually gossip as their oldsonas (perhaps even while really doing handcrafts!) and will write down their guesses as to what the other player's archetypes and plot beats were. When everyone is done, players will write a short chapter outline, share them aloud, and then will be assigned writer's awards like "most grimdark fantasy" or "most slapstick".
Advanced Darning & Dragons is a silly comedy game that's meant to put the fun back in writing. It's available free / pwyw so everyone has a chance to bring a little humor to their lives!

Why Necromancy Doesn't Exist is a fantasy Micro-RPG about magic, taxonomy, and petty academic disagreements. If you like making arguments for the sake of making arguments, compiling evidence to support a clearly ridiculous claim, or having in-depth discussions about fake things that don't matter -- well, that's what this game is about.
Why Necromancy Doesn't Exist will always be free, but if you enjoy it, check out my other games.

Ricardo Peraca of Tragos Games wrote a commentary on Why Necromancy Doesn't Exist, including different ways to play the game and how you could hack it.
Using a virus head as a d20.
You need really small fingers and really good eyes, but it's easy to get replacements if you lose them.
You’d like that wouldn’t you. If I HUNTed the ducks. Maybe afterwards if I really PUSH MYSELF I can PROWL them too. I can SKIRMISH the ducks. I can ATTUNE the ducks
Tabletop RPGs with skill-check-based conflict resolution that are like "well, technically every skill is a knowledge skill, because you can test Ranged Combat to know things about guns" are... whatever, they're fine, but what I want to see is a game that comes at it from the opposite direction. I want a game that's heavy on unavoidable combat scenarios and doesn't allow player characters to have any explicit combat skills. Explain to the group how you're using your degree in ancient Etruscan pottery to attack. Quickly, now – that guy looks mad.
I do this to him:
BRB, writing an essay arguing that, since the number of people doing character build theorycrafting is anecdotally much greater than the number of people engaged in active group-based play at any given time, Dungeons & Dragons in its modern form should properly be classified as a solo journalling game.
Writing a followup essay arguing that the set of activities which have become institutionalised in D&D's contemporary culture of play as "GM prep" actually constitute a distinct solo game which is only peripherally related to the group-based game it's ostensibly preparing for.
Going on a tangent about how the deficiencies 5E's GM tools can only fully be understood by recognising that, while previous iterations of the game at least dimly understand GM prep as a form of play, 5E as a text conceives of the GM not as a fellow-player, but as an unpaid employee whose job is to maximise the number of people playing D&D.
Have you played Ma Nishtana : Why is this night different ?
By Gabrielle Rabinowitz and Ben Bisogno
Ma Nishtana: Why is this Night Different? is a Passover storytelling game that invites you to explore a world filled with wonder, terror, and deep care. As you conduct a series of rituals, you breathe new life into the Exodus story by embodying key characters and navigating the emotional ties between them. Through the eyes of your characters discover the spirit of the Passover story: the weight of sacrifice, the strength of community, and the triumph of finding a place to call home.
Have you played ?

i am looking at you, new ttrpg players. i am looking you in the eyes. you do not need to be like the professional players. it's okay if you can't do voices or stutter or need to pause to think about what you're going to say or how your character would act. we are doing this for fun. gaming should never stop being fun

guys I'm sorry to self rb (lying) but I can't stop thinking about what this person could possibly be getting up to in their version of d&d that has no attack rolls and no damage rolls and no skill checks and no saving throws and no modifiers and no healing and
okay me when I'm also wrong but in a different way
