AND I'M ONE OF THEM. BUY SPINDLEWHEEL NOW MOTHERFUCKERS. CREATE YOUR OWN BRAIN CHEMISTRY ALTERING NICHE plusoneexp.com/products/spi...

Sometimes I feel a way about ttrpg awards and then I remember what's more important to me, which is that Spindlewheel has altered the brain chemistries of a number of people and triumphs in its bizarre little niche

Ran the second public playtest of my in-development game "A Mother's Curse" at the amazing playstorming co-organized by @mixuppixels.bsky.social and www.paradice.wien - We had such a blast! Added this time: Play sheets. It worked just as great with the Spindlewheel Deck by @teacabbage.bsky.social!

Okay... I get it... I've only been writing for games for a little while but the ellipsis is so alluring... Why not have a little pause...? Trail off mysteriously... before changing thoughts... ...or even picking the thought back up. Try it sometime... but watch out..........!

*puts your foot on the wrong leg* oh i'm sorry i think i gave you a bad first impression. let me fix that rl quick

are you compelled by the idea of tarot at the gaming table but haven't yet found a deck that speaks to you? Why not give Spindlewheel a try? Archetypal cards with poetic prompts will indulge your bleakest instincts and surprise you with their juxtapositions.

I do not think a ttrpg needs to be replayable to be worth your time and interest

Rabbit's Foot Retrofit is a point-and-click game about running a cyberware repair shop: chat with clients, fix their gear, argue with their insurance, and change the world one imperfect choice at a time. This thread is for tracking its development.

Is there a play oracle you’d recommend with - cards with text on them - somewhat accessible vocab - flexibility in use (i.e. not cards with rules text on them or too narrow a scope, so no Dialect/TQY) It’d need to be easy to pick up without prior knowledge (no tarot). Any tone or theme is fine.

I've never had so many projects mid-chrysalis at the same time before. Doesn't look like much from outside the cocoons but I promise there's a lot of work happening in there

magenta and teal. both about 3/4 dark value, both maximum saturation.

i love you hand limits. i love you irreplicable miracles. i love you sub-optimal moves. i love you end of the rope actions. i love you imperfect tools. i love you bad cards. i love you characterization arising from doing the best you can with what you have

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Spindlewheel, and Sasha is wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to look at both sides of each card for inspiration in terms of the communal writing of the story. Looking forward to picking this one up in the near future!

Spindlewheel was a great time, starting with the minigame Detective, which saw us creating an amazing rollercoaster of a crime drama. Also, the worldbuilding potential for those who want a creative boost in designing their next world or even next NPC makes this a great pickup for GMs of all types!

And that's a wrap! Huge thanks to @22to22.bsky.social for showing off Spindlewheel to @markdc.bsky.social and @twenty20sight.com this evening! That was a really cool session! Before I continue, here's where you can find the game: www.teacabbage.com/spindlewheel

What's a machine game? Is a book a machine game? It's certainly more machinic than a movie is. But is interpreting a movie through a certain lens machinic? Is this post machinic? Maybe not, but is reading this post machinic? Is asking "is this machinic?" machinic?

@teacabbage.bsky.social As it turns out, I wasn't wrong about getting friends introduced to Spindlewheel by sharing my article and my thoughts around! One thing I heard was "I can't believe I haven't heard of Spindlewheel and the community around it" and I went, I know, right?! What a hidden gem!

This is such a lovely and welcoming overview of Spindlewheel!!

With perpetual gratitude to @teacabbage.bsky.social for the ongoing inspiration that Spindlewheel has been to me

Build suited Card-Trees to explore facets of worldbuilding or shared themes that spark interest! Grow the tree over a year of ritualized card-writing seasons. Then curate the collection you've written together over the winter, deciding which cards are drafted into the deck--and which are composted!

Psst, what's this? A new tabletop roleplaying project from me? It's only been what, three-odd years... Welcome to GARDENLOOM, a collaborative oracle deck generating game for the whole table! Compatible with Spindlewheel. Undergoing continued development. oracle-engine.itch.io/gardenloom

can I humbly request one (1) additional follower on itch dot io? i've been teetering on 699 for daysss 22to22.itch.io thank you happy new year!!

This New Year's Eve, I'm cracking open my favorite kind of Spindlewheel deck--those written by other designers of their own accord--and will be drawing portents from the far-flung years of 2019/2020. passerines.itch.io/exquisite-wh... passerines.itch.io/luminous-knife comment to receive one!

Hey, welcome new folks! You're probably here about Playing the Tarot, which you can find over yonder. :)

Thank you so much…! I got you a gift in return: A goose down comforter! May you find comfort and warmth this season, even in the coldest and snowiest of days. (These are the cards I pulled for you. Hope they bring good tidings!)

What's under the Spindlewheel deck this year? Comment to receive one (1) gift. The pact awaits you.

An update to Spindlewheel Forever in which I refit one of the design pillars: farewell, Atropos!

"I like Sasha's weird horny queer works but I don't know where to find more stuff like it" well wonder no more!

There are also only a few dozen of this game left in stock. Get them now. Luxuriate in them!

pleeeaaaaase read this (and make some machine games)

if angels/mechs are a little steep for you right now, consider getting a $50 freak! same email ^_^

not dire, but i'm raising some money to cover expenses this month (plus i love doing these) so: trueform portraits! $200 gets you an ophan, seraph, or weird mech according to your aesthetics (+$50 will get you a little human portrait to go along with it!) no design too complex! [email protected]

Sasha's idea of the game that you operate instead of play has been so integral to my development as a designer. It's really pivotal. You should check read this! It contains an incredibly sweet and sharp write up Of one of my favorite games I've ever written: Hollerith Communications Manual.

What's a machine game? Is a book a machine game? It's certainly more machinic than a movie is. But is interpreting a movie through a certain lens machinic? Is this post machinic? Maybe not, but is reading this post machinic? Is asking "is this machinic?" machinic?

I guested on this special little episode, and brought my Spindlewheel (@teacabbage.bsky.social) cards with me! Really, really proud of my own performance in this and super thankful to Jason for letting me add my own splash of dramatic Autumn heartbreak and moral complexity to Memester's universe 🖤
