Okay, y'all, I'm SUPER stoked: Gigacity Guardians, the choose-your-own-adventure, coloring book, story-focused, literacy-building, zero prep RPG that comes WITH IT'S OWN PLAY-ALONG PODCAST is going up on Kickstarter for a PRINT RUN!

If you dug Starsworn, this is another Stories RPG arc - this one in the center for masterminds, mutants, and meta-human mayhem: Gigacity! Players are students at Signora Sun's Sanctuary, finding out about themselves, their powers, and how to find family in a sometimes unfriendly world.

One arc of the podcast and the first play-along chapter are finished, with a whole new arc and two more to come! If you'd like to listen, find the episodes of Gigacity Guardians anywhere you listen to pods on Stories RPG!

Yes Indie'd is a mainstay of the indie RPG scene, and it was an absolute honor to be interviewed by Marx Shepard (a lovely person and brilliant designer) about Starsworn, which has only 4 days left to go (and only two stretch goals that have yet to be unlocked!). I'm a teacher who designs games that teach, and teaches kids to fall in love with writing with games. Starsworn is a zero-prep, play to learn home version of the game I use to teach, complete with coloring book illustrations, read-alouds, characters, and tools to help players of all ages tell wondrous tales together. It funded in under 30 minutes, and is scheduled to ship in time to arrive in backers homes before the holiday break this year.

Give a listen, and if you haven't, back Starsworn today - it would be amazing to be able to send more of these out to folx!

But the moments I KNOW the kids HAVE it - that they've become an independent writing group with a powerful shared project?

We spend the entire two hours reading and shaping lore, and I have to make one of the kids host so they can stay on Zoom working together!

GO GET IT!
