*Roots of Soledad* is a new GM-less roleplaying game by my friend
@matthijs1000.bsky.social
. Its innovative mechanics for reincorporation and structuring play solves the issues Iβve had with most GM-less systems. Spiritually related to *Itras by* and *Archipelago*. Highly recommended!

the Chinese audience is around the same size as the US one. The Italian and French translations are completely done too, I believe, and they're being sold and marketed by their own teams. (I talk to the Italian team, Nessundove, a lot. they're awesome)

We've got a new game coming for
#zimo2026
. It's a GMless storytelling
#ttrpg
designed for one-shots. It's also an exploration of themes of scandal and shame, of the rumours that poison communities, of life in 20th-century rural Italy. Come meet old Barbabianca. You remember him, right?

Happy Holidays, everyone! We got a chance to write a Triangle Agency Mission for the December issue of ioGioco magazine. Snowing 'Round the Globe is a 4-page festive Mission. It's a homage to cheesy Christmas romcoms and the longing for a picture-perfect Holiday.

Crowdfunding games has officially become Chiara's excuse to demand new enamel pins. So Maria is toying with concepts for a homage to Our Queen Crumbles. And we are fighting about the color scheme, of course. Black Queen or White Queen?
