#improv game

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I considered leaving this game lost to the void (i.e. unpublished) since it's very minimalistic; there's basically no art save for some little pictures used to illustrate the communication gestures.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

1. What is your opinion on the stock market

2. If your pets could talk what would be the first thing they’d say to you

3. Do you think that it’s important to fold laundry before you put it away

1. The stock market is good. When I was 5 my father bought me shares and now, 2 days later, I am so wealthy I have three mcmansions. Stocks are incredibly valuable as long as you know how to play the game right.

2. My goldfish Bartholowmulus would explain to me how my coffee is poorly made and he cannot keep swimming in it. Unfortunately, I prefer dark coffee and he will simply have to live with it.

3. No, first the laundry man had to take your clean clothes away to the farm so as to tidy up the clothes, and once it is freshly dyed and changed to the newest fashion, then it can be piled on the chair in my closet.

It's not quite like these (more like the first one) but a friend and I are always collecting random "what if" scenario topics to have in-depth conversations (or affectionate arguments) about. Be it "the ethics of vampirism" or "how to defeat the reverse Trojan horse that is a duck that breaths fire, has random people inside it, and the "only" way to kill it is to draw a magical sword that Will Curse You". very normal topics you see. Can definitely recommend debating increasingly unlikely scenarios as a topic with a friend. It gets a good back and forth going, and I've found that to be more interesting than a "one person does a rant/speech" improv game, not that those aren't fun sometimes! just make sure all parties know it's lighthearted :D

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

my main criticism for Baldurs Gate 3 is that you can’t keep wreaking havoc if you accidentally polymorph into a cat

(redraw of art from 2022! old work below the cut if you're curious ;)

(btw, the hanged ib is a figure you see in the Sketchbook area if you view the Sinister Painting in the yellow area. It's memorable to me cause it scared me so bad lol)

Still like the vibrance of the old version!!! My colour choices have gotten more muted over time

Have you ever found something you weren't supposed to when exploring? Or maybe just something extremely bizarre, or magical?

(You said improv. i tried. This sounds more like a story promt tho. Oops.)

Once I was wandering through the forest when I found these train tracks? Really cool tracks with plants poking out of them. I walked along that for a while until I got to this chipped statue? It was a gargoyle thing that looked pretty beat up. I couldn’t move it too well but I managed to turn it over. There was a monster high doll tucked into the back and really I figured no one else was coming for it so I took it home with me? I gave it its own shelf in my room and everything, but now it faces my bed and occasionally I wake up in the middle of the night and we just stare at each other.
