Is it too bad a week to share what some friendos and I put together in like 2 weeks for the local GameLab?

(@gabiberbetoros / @sirce-ap / @eliasnavarrook )

DISCLAIMER: We coulda pulled it off in any engine other than Unity.

The prototype is live on Itch if you're curious. I focused so much on getting the vibes right that I kinda ran out of time to make a decent level, so if game hard, it's definitely not your fault.

Protect the Child: Digital Glitch

It was supposed to be a simple job. Get in, get a sample, get out, don't get caught. You didn't expect there to be a kid, locked up in a room like a mouse in a box. She says the corpos stole her away from her parents and stuck her full of needles. Now she's in your arms, hands over her ears while the alarm blares, and security drones are blocking your every exit. What do you do?

Digital Glitch is a new, cyberpunk setting for Protect the Child. It includes 7 pre-written characters, all members of a group of cyber-runners, criminals who go on high-stakes jobs to rob the mega-corporations called zaibatsus in order to keep themselves alive. Unfortunately, the lab they were attempting to rob also happened to hold a girl, whose genetic code has gave her super-senses and a hyper-sensitive nervous system after IrisLabs tried a new experimental procedure.

You need the rules for Protect the Child in order to be able to play this game, but right now, since PtC is in playtesting, the rules are free!! Currently downloading the game gives you access to a Google Sheets play-kit. There is also a pdf in the works to be released at a later date.

This play-set was designed for both the Kiwi Jam 2024, and the Dice Exploder Pregen Jam. It's list of inspirations include Hamixh Cameron's The Sprawl, Cory Doctorow's Unauthorized Bread, and ZebraMatt's 24XX Dire Pulse. It contains themes of Infertility, Exploitation, Police Violence, Capitalism, Disability, and Medical Horror.

𝙲𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝙳𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚜| Aaron Hotchner X Reader Smut 🔞

Summary: You're a known trouble maker at the BAU. You love to wind up Hotch and antagonise him and he's finally had enough and decides to put you in your place.

Warnings:

Brat taming, Hair pulling, Vaginal fingering, Daddy Hotchner, Dom Hotchner, Sub Reader, Brat Reader

MDNI- I am not reasonable for what you read (or becoming aroused)

The day started out like always for you, waking up, showering, dressing, and having breakfast before going to work. But this time you decided to play a little bit of a game with your boss. FBI special agent Aaron Hotchner, the stern head of the BAU department where you work. Although your not specifically an agent for field work you do have skills similar to your friend Penelope Garcia. You both have a knack with computers however you also have worked in the field once, well, you were witnessed to taking down a killer at a cyber café you were working at undercover in at that time. Now you work with Penelope and as a personal assistant to Hotch, dealing with all his technical stuff, like a bridge to Garcia and him in a way.

Entering the doors to your small office nearby Penelope’s, you pop yourself down and start up your computer and start your daily routine of checking emails, going over files and checking systems are working well. As per-usual Penelope pops in with a smile and her lovely joyful self “Hey Y/N! heard you got a meeting with Hotch this morning?” her happy tone always you smile, not to mention her colourful outfits and accessories “Hey Pen, yeah hopefully he’s in a good mood?” you say questioningly, raising a brow towards her “Oh, yeah, um…well about that, he’s a little tense this morning. Something seems to be making him grumpier than normal” you give her a ‘not surprised’ look and smile “eh, I’m sure it’s just his usual stick up his ass routine, you know how it goes with him sometimes” both of you giggle at your words “Speaking about your superior like that could get you marked up for a warning” Penelope and you freeze and your guts twist as his chill inducing voice echoes in the room. “erm…Hi s-sir…I’ll erm…just be going…” Penelope practically runs out the room leaving you to his cold demeanour. You make a mental note to get her back for doing a runner.

“You need to be careful with what you say out loud Y/N” His voice seemed calm as he stood in the doorway, his usual sleek black suit and dark eyes baring into you. “well, maybe you shouldn’t nose into other conversations sir” an eyebrow rose on his face as he stepped into the room, pushing your door shut with a click. “Y/N, this attitude needs to stop. You keep making snide comments in my mission briefings, not to mention the amount of times I’ve caught you with Garcia photoshopping my face onto random things.” The stern tone did nothing to quell your inner brat. “I thought you liked seeing yourself on a beach body?” “Not when it’s a woman’s Y/N” a growl left his chest as he stepped toe to toe with you, the looming shadow over your small, sitting frame made you both nervous and excited at the same time. “not my fault you look better in a red bikini. It complements your eyes” a smug grin forms on your lips as you lean back on your chair, crossing your arms over your chests. “Don’t push it Y/N.” he takes you by surprise, bending down to lean on the arms of your chair, effectively trapping you. “Oh really? Why not?” as soon as you said it you immediately regretted it. A strong hand grabbed the back of your head with a fistful of your hair, jerking you back to look up at him with a grunt “You don’t want to find out Y/N, you really don’t” you couldn’t stop the whimper that left your lips as he spoke, your inner walls clenched at his deep tone. What pissed you off the most with working with a behavioural analysis unit is you couldn’t hide your emotions. They could all read you like a book, even Penelope had a way of figuring you out most of the time. He could see your arousal, hell at this point you could probably smell it with his keen senses. “Keep being a brat and you’ll be treated like one” huffing you couldn’t look him in the eyes anymore, the dark lust and desire in his eyes made you squirm in your seat, clenching your legs a little and gripping at your skirt, tugging it down to try and hide your clenching legs. “I’m not a brat. You just can’t take a joke…”

It went quiet for a moment; the tension was palpable between both of you. A yelp left your lips as he tugged your head once more and his other free hand ran circles on your neck “You are a brat Y/N. Clearly you need to understand the difference between joking and plain out insulting someone” shivers hit you and you feel his breath on your cheek, his lips are practically touching your skin. Whimpers sounded from you, and he grinned, kissing your cheek, and running his free hand down lower to grip around your neck, producing a small amount of pressure. As you feel yourself lean into him, he lets go and steps back, taking off his blazer and undoing his cufflinks, simultaneously rolling up his sleeves halfway up his arms. “Over the desk” not needing to be told twice you happily obliged, following his orders you leant carefully over your desk after quickly moving a few bits out of the way. You bit your lip as his hand met the lower part of your back, pushing you down firmly, making sure you wouldn’t move. “see you can follow instructions” he spoke condescendingly. Your skirt was pulled up, exposing your tight clad bottom. “Only when It’s not a stupid one- Oww!” the snap of the waistband of your tights hitting your skin made you squeal. “Still being rude” his sultry tone made it so much more of a thrill when he pulled your waistband down, taking your underwear with it, revealing your sodden core. “Oh, look at that, I do believe you enjoy being corrected hmm?” his finger slipped easily up and down your lips, poking and prodding, teasing you. “Don’t tease. Its mean” you didn’t mean to whine, but you did, having been deprived of any form of intimacy for so long, you were desperate, and he knew it. “Oh sweetheart, you have to tell me what you want if you want something…” his finger ghosted over your clit, another whine slipped out as you spoke, now leaning back into his fingers “Please…Please touch me” “Good girl” his deft fingers slipped into your folds as his thumb caressed your clit, the hand on your lower back now rubbing circles on you.

“Ah!” his fingers felt like magic, the sensation of his thumb rubbing small circles on your sensitive nub whilst two fingers penetrate you “fffuuck…” arching your back against his hand, you felt a small pressure building as he started to move faster, thrusting his digits in and out more aggressively, the squishy sounds of your wetness dipping around them was all you could hear alongside your moans. “You need to ask if you want to cum” “P-Please….Please let me cum!” he tsk’d at you, shaking his head “Please what?” “P-Please Daddy! Lemme cum!” suddenly he paused, and you wondered if you’d just messed up. “What was that?” freezing, your eyes widened, and you went to look back over your shoulder to see him, but he quickly shoved your head down by the back of your neck “I-I…erm…Oh fuck!” the pace suddenly picked up again, your eyes rolled back in your head “Tell me what you just said called me” “’I-Ah! Daddy!” “There we go. Was that so hard sweetheart?” trying to hold in your urge to scream you bit down on your lip, shaking your head in response. “Good girl, now cum for daddy” like a switch you came screaming into your arm in an attempt to keep your voice down. Your cum soaked his hand as you began to shake and shudder.

Panting heavy, you felt his fingers slip from you “That’s it sweetheart” the sound of him licking and sucking your juices clean from his fingers instantly made you alert and wanting more. “Now, why don’t we go over the files before we continue. And if you behave, we can continue, and you can have something special afterwards?” humming you nodded reluctantly, wanting nothing more than to feel him inside you “yes sir-Ah! I mean daddy!” a harsh sting corrected your words quickly as he readjusted you and pet your back. “Good girl” he purred as you could barely stand up properly.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Okay so, did I leave it on a cliffhanger….yes.

Will I add more to this…possibly.

Let me know what you think. This is the first daddy kink I’ve written, and the first Aaron Hotchner Smut. So please take it in consideration

This is CBR+PNK Augmented, a clever little box set of pamphlets housing a razor sharp Forged in the Dark cyberpunk game about a group of Runners pulling One Last Job. It’s so tight, I can barely breath.

OK, so, the fold-out box opens up into two section filled with 4-fold pamphlets. They’re all heavy card stock featuring lovely art and nice design that is both evocative and clean enough to remain usable. There’s lots of spot gloss, too, which is a nice touch. One pamphlet is for the GM, explains how to write scenarios (this is a one-shot game), how to use the progress tracks (a tweaked version of Blades in the Dark’s countdown timers), how glitches effect cyber, consequences for failed rolls, how to handle elite opponents, and so on. There are five player guides/character sheets (suspicion: these might be dry erase safe?) — main thing to know is that there are no playbooks, rather the skill/augment combos make them unique. Dump all the pamphlets out to read the various cybernetics printed on the box interior.

The second set of pamphlets for the GM. There’s “Mind the Gap,” a train based scenario in three acts; “PRDTR,” a scenario inspired by Predator, natch; “Framework” is a deeper guide to crafting scenarios; “+Weird” adds, well, weird shit like magic and mutants; “Cyberpunk Hunters” adds additional opponents; and “Mona Rise: Megalopolis” provides a campaign frame clearly based on William Gibson’s Sprawl.

It’s a super attractive package for a game that proves there is plenty of space for a variety of cyberpunk RPG experiences in the hobby.

Ygo5dsmonthweek 2024 day 1 - Forever fave!

@ygo5dsmonth-week

To the surprise of no one Crow Hogan is my fave. Fun fact I actually had neutral feelings towards him in the beginning. It wasn’t until one of my many rewatches that I fell in love with him. I decided to try and ignore that he was the comical relief character and take a deep look at him. Best decision I have ever made.

Crow and Brave contrast each other, Brave being a (former) lone-wolf and Crow who is all about community.

His kid Icarus theme.

Him being a pillar of support for Yusei during the Dark Signer arc.

Lots of card symbolism highlighting his trickster aspect. The trap cards that can activate from the hand (he also activated a trap in the graveyard I think). Can synchro from the graveyard with Vayu (fun fact: Brave can synchro from the hand in the Tag Force games which is just another contrast with Crow). Sirocco being Cyber Dragon at home. Aurora whole gimmick. He has lots of cards that get around the rules.

He loves kids and is very caring towards them. At the end of the show he wants to become a legacy that the orphans can look up to.

I’m just gonna add onto the post. His Duel Runner is my fav. It literally has bird talons as kickstands. It is the only d-wheel with with wings. The bird motif is the chef kiss.

My favorite character design ever.

XDINARY HEROES AS AESTHETICS.

🌐 seya : before we dive into an amazing world of web-aesthetics, there are few things that i’d like to point out. first of all, i chose aesthetic for each member based solely on my associations with their vibe. meaning: i associate the vibe of aesthetic with them, rather than the history behind it. secondly, some of the information was gathered from such sites as:

https://cari.institute/aesthetics.

https://www.are.na.

https://eyeondesign.aiga.org.

now that we got that out of the way — enjoy!

𝐠𝐨𝐨 𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐥 : 𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐂𝐇

“baby boomer & silent generation revival of various 1940s-1950s cultural iconography, design, and kitsch associated with diner, drive-in's and malt shop culture. jukeboxes, poodle skirts, 1950s advertising kitsch, neon, chromed-out automobiles, metallic paneling, 'american graffiti'-style fonts.” — ©️ cari institute.

diner kitsch – aesthetic familiar to everyone, yet not that many people know it’s actual name (or that it is, in fact, an aesthetic!). checkered floors and walls, milkshakes, burgers, neon signs and, of course, waitresses on roller skates — these things define diner kitsch. originating from 1950s, when diners were seen as a place, where you could enjoy a hearty comfort food and have a good time with your family or friends it was finally revived in our years through media that depicts mainly high schoolers or travelers of any sorts, going out for a dinner.

🌐 seya : i chose diner kitsch for gunil because he is literally the embodiment of a nerdy boy who would definetely hang out with his group of friends in a place like that. doing homework, reading comics, getting cookies on the house because of how often they visit a diner… 🥤🍔 yum!

𝐤𝐢𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐮 : 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐑

“the term neon-noir is a film genre, but it can also represent an aesthetic. this aesthetic includes a brooding, mysterious, cyberpunk, and dangerous atmosphere. the neon-noir aesthetic can be related somewhat to the sibling-genre neo-noir (without the “n”), including avant-garde fashion, femme fatale style, dark clothing, technology, and neon lights.” — ©️ wendy zhou (from her blog wendyzhou.se)

neon-noir (also known as future-, cyber-, tech-noir) was born in the film industry around 1980s, when sci-fi was blooming yet again. not so popular in web, it is still quite known in gamer community, thanks to such games like “cyberpunk 2077”, “anno mutationem”, “blade runner” etc. this aesthetic is mixing old-school noir with futuristic elements, giving it a whole new look. neon signs, robots, androids, futuristic technology are going hand in hand with good old detective genre, accented shadows, rain and fog.

🌐 seya : i find this aesthetic to be the most suiting to jungsu. i can imagine him in this type of setting so well and i’d actually like to read or even write something, where he is portrayed as a detective in a mysterious and futuristic setting!

𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐤 𝐣𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐨𝐤 : 𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐈𝐗

“rule-bending, medium-blending "instagram grunge". full of horror vacui, chrome type, oddball textures and self-referentialism.” — ©️ cari institute.

originated in the 1990s and revived in 2010s, acidgrafix (also known as: acid graphics and acid design) aesthetic is mainly seen nowadays on the covers of music albums. bright colors (usually red, orange and neon green, neon yellow, neon purple), wireframes, distorted images, liquid metal forms – all of these are key elements of acidgrafix. the term acid, as you might’ve already guessed, came from the acid house and rave culture. it first appeared on flyers, used to promote and to invite people to raves. smiley faces (of course, resembling nothing else but the actual drug), op-art-esque patterns, sci-fi futurism – all of these were such an eye candy for party-goers, that soon enough this style overtook the music industry. after being long forgotten in the 00s, acidgrafix finally found it’s new home in instagram, where musicians would design their insta-stories and albums with all of the key details of this aesthetic.

🌐 seya : aaand this is the part that i was worried about the most. this aesthetic took it’s origins not from the best culture, but i still find it’s style being quite suiting for gaon. it’s bright, innovative and bold – just like he is!

𝐨𝐡 𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐦𝐢𝐧 : 𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊

"the millennial and gen-z iteration of edgy grunge aesthetics, associated closely with "pop punk" and the store hot topic." — ©️ cari institute.

*puts a cd in the drive, "girlfriend" by avril lavigne starts playing* now that we're in the mood, let us find out what the hell is a teen punk. the dirty, the angry, the free and THE wild – this aesthetic conveys the whole essence of the rebellious period that every teenager eventually goes through. you can usually see this movement being expressed through clothes, style, make up and, most importantly, music, rather then the way you could draw something or edit a photo. mainly seem in early 00s, teen punk found it's new home in hearts of people through nostalgia that overtook us all as soon as pandemic started. this aesthetic combines different colors like foggy green and blue, obviously black, red and pink (yes, the tricolor of emo aesthetic is very important here). essential details of teen punk are denim jackets, torn jeans, big ass t-shirts with logos of musical groups, fishnets and those humongous military boots that everyone used to wear. the pioneers of this movement are mainly musical artists, like the infamous avril lavigne, all-time favorites my chemical romance, green day, paramore etc.

🌐 seya : now i need you to look me dead in the eyes and say that THIS isn't his aesthetic. bro literally dresses as if hot topic was more grunge and still managed to survive.

𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐣𝐮𝐧 : 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐓𝐈 𝐏𝐎𝐏

"first wave of corporate appropriation of graffiti culture. typically includes urban streetscapes & iconography contemporary to the time period (eg. trash cans, brick walls, chain link fencing, street lamps, sidewalks, industrial elements, general 'urban decay'). it's also associated with that eras' portrayal of street, hip hop, & punk culture." — ©️ cari institute.

disclaimer: this part is mostly retelling of an article from this site: https://www.grafftergallery.com/2023/08/graffiti-pop-art-vivid-intersection-of.html | i really don't think that i would be able to express myself better than they already did, so let me give the credit to the rightful authors!

this aesthetic is a firm proof of the dynamic between street culture and the world of art that was born in early 80s and was especially popular till the 00s. bright colors, bold splashes of different patterns, provocative slogans, popular singers, models, tv personalities – it screams fight for the freedom of self expression. this movement is first and foremost was heavily affected by socio-political issues, causing street artists to voice their concerns through art. graffiti itself is a rebellious act (you're literally damaging private property) and when you mix this with media icons and pop culture that was thriving, you're guaranteed to have all the attention that you need.

🌐 seya : i feel like this aesthetic really suits jun han because in my eyes he is one of the most brave idols in terms of expressing himself through his style and art.

𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐨��𝐞𝐨𝐧 : 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐌

"let's take a look at what is included in such aesthetics as retro-surrealism (also known as airbrush surrealism and included in the subgenres of retro-futurism), shall we?"

retro is an imitation or conscious derivative of a lifestyle, trend, or art form from history, included in music, fashion, or looks. the retro art movement always invariably revives and in one way or another refers to everything that happened in the past. surrealism is an art direction that always strives to revolutionize human experience. it balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. combining these two trends of media art, we get abstract paintings made in the style of sci-fi comics from the 70s-90s. very often they feature elements such as musical instruments, outer space and electronic objects such as telephones, radios, televisions, etc. usually such paintings are airbrushed, which gives them a slightly hazy, matte effect, typical for surrealism (promotes immersion into the unconscious me thinks!).

🌐 seya : i love, love, LOVE this one so much, i just had to give it to my favorite boy jooyeon! i feel like this one suits jooyeon just because he looks like that one dude obsessed with weird ass comic books, always going around with his old mp3 player and vibing to daft punk bangers. sorry not sorry, no one is getting this image out of my head.

At the rate Sonic is going, you have to wonder if he took off bits of his lifespan with everything he's gone through [so far]. xD (On the other hand, he'd likely be the most spry hedgehog at elderly age.)

Someone made a good point, might have been on your page or you yourself 😅 but I saw someone say “if they are getting this I love you scene then…. Why the need for going after Ryan?”

And Like…..

it’s such a good point. If their ship is so endgame and they have a direct from Tim himself dm that bt will say I love you next season, why do they need to plan to review bomb a random movie, or boycott a game show, try and make a flash mob to make Oliver notice them? Why do they need to be trying this hard just to even get the actor back on the show at all.

Like if it was me and my ship was in the position of having the show runner himself saying my ship will be taking that future step of saying I love you, I’d be busy celebrating and not needing to plan shifts to leave comments on insta posts begging for half the ship to be allowed back for the new season. I’d be busy celebrating and not trying to wage a cyber bully campaign over someone who hasn’t even said anything about my ship. I’d be busy celebrating and not trying to discredit another ship. Because there’d be no need for any of that if it was true.

We have been having the "if the relationship is this solid then why does Eddie matter" discussion for a while, pretty sure an anon sent something in today that changed that to "why does Ryan matter to them". I have nothing to add, tho. You're right. If it was the other way around and I had Tim telling me "hey don't worry, 8b buddie will get a love confession scene" the LAST thing that would cross my mind is attacking Lou for "being in the way" in the meantime because that's literal proof he isn't. The whole "we need to get Ryan out because he's in our way" and "our ship is endgame, Tim himself told me" contradicts itself, because if the relationship is endgame, Eddie is literally not a problem. Why the hell would they keep attacking him if they had this confirmation? It makes no sense.

Night Striker was one of my all-time favorite Mega CD games which was finally unlocked for international play officially through the Genesis Mini 2 in 2022. Since then, I've been trying to get the PlayStation 1 and Sega Saturn versions, which I finally managed to track down. The Saturn version of Night Striker (called Night Striker S) is pretty much identical to the original arcade. This version has a Saturn-only mode with new stages, an ending, and a CG Movie (only available on the Saturn release).

For those who don't know Night Striker is a futuristic shooter much in the same way as the 3D stages on Thunder Blade or Space Harrier but features a cyber-style car that would make James Bond get a stiffy. The idea of the game is pretty simple, just make it to the end of each level and blow away the boss then choose what stage you'd like to go to next in that good old traditional Taito/Darius way. These days Night Striker looks pretty dated, much more so than Space Harrier, Out Run, and all the other Sega-made sprite-based 3D games of the time. This is because the original arcade looked dated thanks to Taito's not-so-Hi-Tec hardware back then. Still, it's a great game that I'm sure will find a place in your Saturn gaming. I almost forgot to mention the music! Zuntata has done it again with some excellent music tracks!! Also, check out the blatant Terminator rip-off and Blade Runner-style city on the front cover.

hey what are some good zero-prep for players and good for one shot systems?

Theme: Zero-Prep Characters / One-Shots

Hello friend! I have some really fun games here that I think just produce straight-up Vibes for you to check out, although I also recommend checking out my Games To Run With Strangers recommendation post for some more great options.

Android Outbreak, by Munuxu.

Android Outbreak is a quick, skill/luck-based TTRPG that will have players taking the roles of escaped androids racing and battling their way towards an evac point on the other side of a megacity that is raised high in the sky above a burning miasma that's taken over the planet. 

Character creation is sleek, requiring one choice and a a roll or two to determine what your strengths are and how you are unique. Your goal is simple too - you just are trying to get out and get away. The game page itself is part of the rolling mechanics, with the lines on the page used to help measure at what distance you are throwing your dice onto the table. The GM is responsible for creating androids to pursue you as well as other obstacles such as weather events or events obstructing the streets. If you want a game that combines throwing skill with random chance, I recommend Android Outbreak.

Operation Final Monarch, by poorstudents.

A one-page espionage TTRPG in an alternate history 1940's. Assassinate Aleksander Von Korte on his opulent airship, The Watchful Luftrahmer.

Operation Final Monarch is a one-page Tabletop RPG for 4-6 players. One player will act as the GM, providing obstacles, portraying passengers, and describing the Watchful Luftrahmer. You play as Infiltrators, spies from the fallen countries around Arstarkan. Your final mission is to kill Aleksander Von Korte.

When situations get risky you gamble with danger and can always push your luck to try to succeed in any situation. Be careful not to roll a 1 though, as a devastating consequence will soon follow. Use can also use your leverage over the passengers of the Watchful Luftrahmer, asking them questions they don’t want to answer or enacting your special abilities.

Operation Final Monarch provides you with playbooks, which is one of the easiest ways to make the game little to no-prep for the players when they sit down to play. It also gives you a very specific goal - that of assassinating an important political figure while aboard a blimp. The setting is semi-historical, giving the players a frame of reference, but spices it up with elements like Machine Priests and steampunk technology.

Mechanically, the game uses a gambling mechanic that involves the GM rolling 1 dice publicly and 1 dice secretly. Players have to judge whether or not they can beat the total difficulty, and decide whether to Push or Call. Pushing gives you an extra dice but worsens the outcome should you fail, while Calling leaves the outcome up to chance, but minimizes consequences. One of those consequences may be revealing a character secret, which makes your character vulnerable, but also provides other characters the opportunity to help. I think the succinct way the game allows you to dive into character backstory as you are playing the game makes this a prime candidate for one-shot play.

CBR+PNK Core, by Emanoel Melo.

In CBR+PNK (Cyber plus Punk) you play as a team of RUNNERS—mercs, criminals, activists living on the edge and running in the shadows of a gritty, ultraviolent world.

In each game we play an entire new cast of characters making their LAST RUN.

CBR+PNK runs on a super-condensed version of John Harper's Forged in the Dark system, specially tweaked for action-packed ONE-SHOT sessions.

CBR+PNK is well known for its friendliness for one-shots, stripping away a lot of the mechanics that give Forged in the Dark games weight and length. The game is packaged into pamphlets, which means you can hand out only what is relevant to each person at the table: the GM pamphlet for the person running the game, and the character pamphlets to folks who will be playing characters. There are additional supplements that you can add to the game to alter or edit your experience.

The player pamphlet has two columns where you enter all your information, one column for character creation instructions, and a number columns with help and player instructions that you can use as a reference when you come across the relevant rule in play. The GM pamphlet takes a little bit more time to familiarize yourself with, and I think this game will be a lot easier to pick up if you’ve already played other Forged in the Dark games. That being said, this game has won a lot of awards and recognition for how concise it is, and I think it’s definitely worth checking out.

MotherFucker Stole My Baby, by Brabblemark Press.

MOTHERFUCKER STOLE MY BABY! is a quick-play roleplaying game inspired by Cradle 2 the Grave and other action films. 

You're a jewel thief - and you and your crew just nabbed a bag of black diamonds for a mysterious employer. You hand the jewels over to your fence for appraisal and kick back for a well-deserved party. Then comes the unexpected double whammy…

Gangsters robbed your fence and swiped the diamonds - and your only child has been kidnapped by the billionaire that you stole the diamonds from! Can you retrieve the diamonds and make the exchange - and how many bodies will litter the streets on your path to victory?

You can only wonder, as you stand in the rain and scream to the sky… MOTHERFUCKER STOLE MY BABY!

The genre and tone of this game are immediately understandable, and it shouldn’t take any time at all to communicate to your players exactly what’s going on in this game. Character creation is very simple - one of my favourite parts is that you circle three items from a list of possessions on your character sheet, and also that your character sheet looks like a Wanted poster.

The game itself is styled after Lasers and Feelings, with a single number representing your strengths, and your successes depending on whether you roll above or below the number. The game also comes with some d6 tables to help the GM craft scenes as you play. There’s also some very succinct but very helpful pieces of GM advice in the GM section, that I think will help you deliver a short but sweet experience for your players.

The Fall of House Prosh, by NotWriting.

The Emperor Hakkan VI has died without an heir. The Imperial throne world Lecatom Rex is empty. The previous Stewards of the throne, House Kotar, are leaving in shame. Their rivals, House Prosh, have ascended the other noble houses as new Stewards of the throne and the Imperial palace. 

Humanity lives on a thousand worlds. Star Witches fold spacetime to navigate the cosmos. Noble houses settle conflicts through duels. Prophecies and portents guide politics and religion. And now noble houses whisper of war and secession.

A thousand years of peace are in jeopardy.

The Fall of House Prosh is a sci-fi tabletop RPG about noble tragedy and melodrama inspired by stories like Dune, Shakespearian plays, and Game of Thrones. Players take on the role of characters within 3 factions: the powerful House Prosh, the maligned House Kotar, and the servants of both these houses. 

The Fall of House Prosh is a narrative guide through a story of tragedy and politics, where only one house can survive. You cannot decide who falls; you can only decide what that fall looks like. Players can choose to embody the members of House Prosh, House Kotar, or the servants of the two, with at least one character from each faction required to play the game. Each faction has their own special moves, half of which can be employed in the Day phase and half which can be employed in the Night phase. Over the course of the game, you add tokens to each houses’ tragedy pool; those tokens are then spent to carry out moves against each-other.

If you want a game about tragedy and epic stories of loss, you want The Fall of House Prosh.

The Family Rat, by V2S Games.

ONE OF YOU IS THE HEAD OF AN ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILY.

The rest of you are 'friends' or members of the family, who will be forced to decide where your loyalties lie. Who can you trust? Who'll be left standing? How will the family survive?

The Family Rat is a Tale of 21 and a hack of The King's Poisoner. It's a one-page tabletop roleplaying game for 3–8 players, which can be played with a deck of regular or virtual playing cards OR two ten-sided dice (2d10).

The Family Rat uses blackjack hands to navigate a story that carries the themes and vibes of the Godfather movies, setting up one player as the The Boss and the rest of the players as members of the Family. I think this game could be classified as GM-less, because even though the Boss has a different roll from the rest of the family, they’re still a solo character, which I think is an interesting format in which to couch this story.

Over the course of three acts, the family members will decide to make requests, moves, and suffer the consequences of their actions. The Boss enters each round with a significant advantage with their Blackjack Hand (having one card hidden from the others, and winning ties), and uses special mechanics at the end of the final act to dictate the actions they’ve taken for the good of the family.

This is a game with a winner and a loser, but I feel like it oozes with the same charms as the original movie. None of you are great people, and all of you have chances to pursue personal goals and leverage favours or debts against each-other, but at the end of the day, you’re depending on the heart of the cards to decide who comes out on top.

24XX - The Deep, by Chaosmeister

ONE DAY THE OCEANS DROWNED THE WORLD. Humanity survived below the waves. The sea birthed leviathans. Your crew owns a dingy old sub. Odd jobs, salvage, leviathan hunting and a few merc gigs keep you afloat and breathing.

I’ve played 24XX games a couple of times and all of the ones I’ve played before are definitely one-shot friendly and require minimal prep. Players choose a character class or type, and get everything associated with it, along with a few key choices like gear or background to flesh them out a little bit. All in all it can take as few as 5 minutes before you start play. The games also usually come with a bunch of roll-tables that give the Game Master interesting encounters, obstacles and goals without having to do a lot of prep. You can also easily condense an adventure into a couple of hours, making these ideal low-prep one shots.

What I like about The Deep is the setting. It’s an excellent example of how you can bake in unique setting elements in just a few roll-tables - for example, are you working for a genetic research & development group or a mining corporation? Does your submarine have giant claw markings from various dives, or a mural of a sea god that has importance to you? If you have a repelling electric net, what kinds of animals are you repelling? These kinds of details infuse the setting with flavour, which I think can really inspire and entice the people at your table.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STARFIELD OC

ur SO SWEET WOW OK OK my oc is Victoria!!! or Tori to their friends :) they grey up rough on the streets of Neon and never knew their parents, so they were in trouble a lot for petty stealing as a kid but they were able to talk their way out of any serious consequences! Victoria took a shine to lockpicking and hacking, and started getting into places they shouldn't. they started getting a reputation of being able to get through any lock completely undetected so would do some low level cyber runner crime for street gangs and working their way up to shady corpo work. they would do anything for credits, not wanting to live on the street ever again!

but then a job went wrong, and Tori stole something they shouldn't have from a high level GalBank exec. the contraband was Hot and they had been found out, and a very large bounty placed on their head. actual men with guns turning up to kill them. nothing like this had ever happened to them before, they've always been able to get away scot-free, so this is a huge wakeup call. shakes them to their core. consequences??? to my actions??? so they had to get out of Neon, and quick.

luckily, there was a ship about to leave that was full of new hires for a mining operation outside of the system. so Victoria signed on, and left Neon behind... for now ;) contraband packed securely in their bag, they left for their new life as a miner! Tori is tough as nails, slow to trust and full of sarcasm and wit and very self-assured. but this experience shakes something loose inside them. makes them think. is this all that they have going in life? selling morals for credits? surely they can do better. surely there's more out there... and oh boy is there! anyway the beginning of the game happens, and Victoria is sent away with a new ship and a growing interest in Constellation and these strange artifacts... but as soon as they fly into a UC system, the contraband they still have with them gets flagged. and they get taken into a UC SysDef ship, resigned to answer for a past they're not so sure they're proud of anymore. there they meet Commander Ikande, who promises a completely clean slate, if only they do some work for him...
