Hey yall! I just posted the Alpha version of my Alternia RPG on itch.io! It's a Homestuck-themed TTRPG set on the planet on Alternia, where you play as a troll growing up and dealing with conflicts in a hostile world. If you're interested, it would be really cool if you checked it out and let me know what you think!

Speaking of high-maintenance playtesters this one from Belomisia has so far been the craziest.

When I didn't let him demolish the flower pots I lovingly placed in the living room, he tried to burn the house down twice.

And was sent to a spa rehab. Isn't it nice to have Simeon Silversweater himself file and paint your toenails?

Hi! I’m working on a game for one of my classes, and I’m trying to gather some playtesting data for a portion of the project. If anyone would be open to playtesting and leaving feedback, here’s the link to the Itch page:
