MUTE is a very simple 18-card game I made so long ago it kinda feels like a different life at this point. It's basically charades, but with colors instead of categories and you're not allowed to talk at all aside from explaining the rules; any player communication beyond that is done via gestures.

It has four rules variations - similar to my other game - so I won't go into detail about the specifics of each one, but the general run-down is:

Players pick a theme; you're free to come up with your own, but several "Theme" cards are included if you don't have the imagination juice to think of one

During a turn, a player chooses a color (how a player "chooses" differs between rule variants) and acts out something related to that color that corresponds to the theme (example: Theme is sports, color is green, player acts out a golf swing)

Other players have to guess what color their actions represent (again, this differs between variants. I mean, highly differs. In one rule variant you don't even guess at all, in fact. Though that one's more of an improv exercise in game form)

I considered leaving this game lost to the void (i.e. unpublished) since it's very minimalistic; there's basically no art save for some little pictures used to illustrate the communication gestures. I had other plans for the game, but those never came to fruition.

But, eeeehhh…I figured since it's done I may as well make it available. It's on the Game Crafter for 6.99 USD (not including shipping). Or if you want a game with nicer art you can pick up Jewel Thief! Eh? Eh? okay . . .

I guess that's all for now

This is a side blog for @bugbeast; I post all of my major art and game projects there, while my nature photography goes on @bbbugsnstuff

This blog is for everything else, including reblogs of things that really activate my almonds.

Original content will mostly be whatever ideas are currently clogging my mind-pipes

Please enjoy the aroma

So...

It has been a ludicrous amount of time since I've posted anything substantial, save for a few doodles and photos. It's mostly been reblogs

I won't give you any "woe-is-me"s, but recent events in my life have caused me to lose most of my gumption and I haven't really worked on anything for a long time. Especially not any games, which was the whole point of this blog in the first place

I plan to change that

Ironically, the changes I intend to make will mean less content for this blog, but what is posted here will be more significant. Game updates and major art projects, things like that. I'd also prefer this blog only feature original content from now, so no more reblogs

Photos like these will be posted to my nature blog @bbbugsnstuff from now on, a blog that's been devoid of content since November...of 2023

As for reblogs, mindless doodles, and photos like this; well, I'm working on another blog for that, but it's not quite ready yet. Expect another update soon (and not months or years from now)

this was the year of the TTRPG for me! most of the art I made this year (and 8/12 shown here) were either for my DnD group or for the fanmade Mortasheen monster pack I was working on.
