This week's #TTRPG review is ROSETHORN KEEP by @kaydevs.bsky.social and @fragrant.garden ! Looks and feels (to me) like a text-based computer adventure game from twenty years ago. Really nailed a vibe I don't often experience in TTRPGs. I had a lot of fun! canisolothat.tumblr.com/post/7939447...

Fun Fact: Statistically, a Walmart devours an average of 4 people a year; this statistic is heavily skewed due to 3 particular locations; without those, the number comes closer to 1.2 SYNCHRONIZITÄT

Fun Fact: Scalpels can only open the lines that were already cut on your flesh from the day you were born SYNCHRONIZITÄT

made a little teaser page for dullscythe, launching in early 2026 dreamware.press/dullscythe

Fun Fact: In past decades, multiple goverment and privately funded organizations managed the containment of anomalies in special facilities. Today, most are kept in suburban basements like yours SYNCHRONIZITÄT

Fun Fact: A "reverse ship of Theseus" event has already been observed and proven as true, it even has its own ship-related saying SYNCHRONIZITÄT

Pilot-posting shennannigans, but i dont have a real flightsuit, only some coveralls Really need to make a Mechsploitation game, but i still have to finish the update for the campaing for the solar system and the card game prototype i was working on and a few other secret projects first

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

yesterday i realized at 4am that pulling hammer habs into the ship to protect them would be mechanically hard, too over engeeniered and overall annoying to live in, so i spent until morning rethinking how they should work

Fun Fact: the advent of the internet has led to the complete compartmentalization of the Jungian self SYNCHRONIZITÄT

don't stop hitting these motherfuckers, bombard them until it keeps them awake at night Visa's call centers are crumpling under the weight and MasterCard has an earnings call in two days! make sure to hit stripe, their policies are a key problem here

I feel we need to remind everyone that this all started just a few days ago, we haven't even been calling for a week and they're already at the "Hanging up because they can't take it anymore" stage. Keep calling

I finished the first section of the game i've been working for the last 6 months. All the visual assets, and music has been done by me. Is a small 30 minute experience. So, if you have the time to check i would appreciate it dozsu.itch.io/entrin #Entrin #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogames

The Guardian just covered the Steam / itchio situation www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Payment processors LOVE it when you call them and gum up their call centers. Show them some love this weekend.

Fun Fact: candlemaking acounts for 30% of anual corpse theft, the rest comes from beauty cream production, ritual purpouses, and you know the last one. SYNCHRONIZITÄT

trying to decide on the posible mechanics of light-sails in short, spend energy and they let you move a ship (with the upgrade) one extra space if they are in the correct position and alignment still not decided on the total range they can "affect" a ship from, either only 1 or 2

Fun Fact: The moon is made of scrimshawed bone; on its deepest craters, you can sometimes see its still living marrow SYNCHRONIZITÄT

@kaydevs.bsky.social @fragrant.garden's game Rosethorn Keep has released a printer-friendly, b&w version of the game over on the store. You should go check it out and pickup a copy. It's a limited print run, spiral-bound, softcover. If you like solo games, give this one a shot <3

finished the booklet for the new faction, its a bit messy as it has a full page of unique rules but thats needed for the faction's intended playstyle wont post it yet, i want to do some work first on the main rules, finally fix the movement system add a few new things and finally get a proper cover

Working on the 5th faction for the campaing for the solar system, the main idea of the Foreign Legion is a nomadic gameplay, with a single mobile base, instead of having multiple stations, and no base resource production but instead "harvesting from nodes" to force movement, trade, and well, piracy

Started working on a new game a few weeks ago, this time, a card game
