#ttrpgs for palestine

[ostermad-blog]

There's a kickass 72-hour stream of folks playing tabletop roleplaying games to raise money for MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians), and it's live right the fuck now!

They've a fantastic lineup of games over the next couple of days, and my game, MONSTER GUTS is on the schedule! There might even be some free keys to it as a donation incentive!

Head right here to go to their Twitch stream and catch these phenomenal games and help raise money for a really vital cause!

It's probably been promoted on here before, but there is a TTRPGs For Palestine bundle on itch.io that starts at $10. It has 643 items that include 5e add ons, Thirsty Sword Lesbian character add ons (so many), GMless games, GMfull games, PNG packs, stuff to create characters/worlds/enemies, and a ton more. Their proceeds are going to Medical Aid for Palestinians, and they are 84% of the way there. As of June 22, the bundle will last 8 more days.

Jes The Human organized this fundraiser with over 160 TTRPG submissions to benefit the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, open through April 30th. I'm in there with my Paragon playset SHOOT THE GIFT, so you can get it, along with all the other games for a donation of $15 or more. Cop it, then tell your friends!

Synthasy 0.5 upcoming and free supplements!

Hi everyone! No new updates on the TTRPGS for Palestine (though more help getting to the $10k mark would be appreciated), but Synthasy 0.5 is set to be released by the end of the month! With it, I'll be releasing the Paladin, a martial holy half-caster with the ability to bless allies, invoke divine authority on opponents, and smite evildoers!

I hope to speak more of the contents of the update later on, but as of right now, I'll keep my promises to what is finished. Also, I'll be releasing the Synthasy character sheet and GM trackers as free supplements on the Itch page, starting... now! So feel free to go check it out!

Two playtests in and Middletown's got good bones! Folks are having fun, which is always a relief. There's some tweaking to do vis a vis PC abilities, and I've got a lot to learn about adventure design, but it's all very achievable. That said, I think my production timeline needs to stretch a bit.

I started this project to have it done in time for /jesthehuman's TTRPGs for Palestine bundle. I got to cheat a little while they wrestled with itch, but now that they're running it via tiltify (still accepting submissions, at time of writing), I don't see Middletown making it out the door in time. I've already submitted Loss of Signal and No Sacrifice Without Blood, but this current project will need to wait.

I've got a two week break coming up. Lotta time to polish mechanics and get a preliminary layout together. Things line up right, we may still see Middletown debut with the Itch version of the bundle. Fingers crossed!

TTRPGs for Palestine – what I’m excited about

Image by Jes the Human (the amazing organiser of the bundle), used with permission

Earlier this month I made a post about the TTRPGs for Palestine itch.io bundle, saying I would make a proper post after I got back from the con I was attending. Well, it’s been a week since that con, and I’m back to make the proper post I promised!

Here’s the plan: I’m going to spend several hours going through as many games as I can in the bundle and picking out some that intrigue me (I wish I could talk about more but I am one mere human). Brace yourself, this is going to be a long post, in fact, multiple long posts.

I’m going through the bundle alphabetically – there’s a lot of games, so it’ll be a while before I reach the far end of the alphabet. One day I’ll reach Z…

Jump below the cut for the games, or go buy the bundle and come back after!

199X: SHUTDOWN by Thursday Garreau

The game is described on the itch page as “a retro-throwback cyberpunk microgame” and sees players as troubleshooters in an enclosed corporate city, lorded over by a mad AI. The flavour seems really interesting and I can’t wait to dig into its dystopian hellscape.

Find 199X: SHUTDOWN here.

5 Second Rule by Lucky Newt Games

This one sounds hilarious and a fantastic thinking-outside-the-box type game. The core concept is you play a superhero – with a catch. Your powers are limited to or by 5 seconds. You and a team of similarly-limited heroes must work together to make it through the training facility. This sounds like an absolute ball to play, cannot wait to grab some friends to give it a try.

Find 5 Second Rule here.

A Cold Wind and a Dark Sky by various authors

Not sure what kind of thing you want to play? A Cold Wind and a Dark Sky is a game anthology from a host of authors, featuring 31 entries created for #Promptober and the Minimalist TTRPG Jam. With how inventive the authors and prompts are, you’re sure to find a gem in here.

A Matter of Time by L Watson

Reading through the page for A Matter of Time sets a definite tone. There’s a playthrough excerpt, followed by a short passage before the page continues. I knew I’d be interested in this one before I made it halfway down the page. I’ll let the passage speak for itself:

There's something behind you in the mirror. Echoed footsteps just a bit too slow to be your own. Your fully charged phone dies as you go to take a photo. For every hasty justification and reassurance, something here is wrong. There's an animal instinct inside you on high alert, goosebumps trailed across your skin. Do you believe in ghosts? Are you sure?

I’m a sucker for horror, and this seems right up my alley. It’s designed as a two-player game, so I’ll be working out which of my friends would be most onboard with being scared shitless.

Find a Matter of Time here.

A Stitch in Time by Poorna Mazumdar and Armaan Babu

The itch page for this game is brief but what there is definitely caught my interest. It’s another two-player game, with players taking on the roles of chrono-stellar cartographers. The mechanic that caught my interest in particular was using letters to restore forgotten places. I’m always up for imaginative mechanics, and this fits the bill! Looking forward to digging in properly!

Find a Stitch in Time here.

ABOMINATIONS by Elliot Davis

Once again, I feel like the page sells the concept better than I ever could, so let’s start with a quote:

You are a Scientist. They tried to tell you to stop playing God. You replied, “Who’s playing?” and spliced in another gene.

In this GM-less game players embody the aforementioned scientists, splicing together their own abominations, then pitting your creation against others. I particular like the gene system included – it uses letter tiles, as in Bananagrams or Scrabble. Overall, this looks exactly my level of chaotic and I suspect I know some folks who this would be perfect for.

Find ABOMINATIONS here.

That’s all for now, folks! I’ll be back with some more from the bundle later!

[merelymatt]

There's some choice stuff in here, folks. Including a Lancer supplement that happened to be perfect for where my campaign looks to be going. I mean, Wanderhome alone is worth it. But it's always the unexpected gems that make a big bundle a truly joyous buy.

That, and all the Justice.

there are still five days left to get OVER 600+ GAMES for a donation of $10 or more to the TTRPGs for Palestine bundle! we are at $153k of the overall goal of $200k and i know we can make it! proceeds from the bundle will be going to Medical Aid for Palestinians, and you can read more at the bundle page. thank you for checking it out, sending it to friends who would be interested, and boosting this!!

Two ongoing digital games bundles are offering more than 200 tabletop RPGs (among video games, soundtracks, books and other goodies) in order to raise money in support of the Palestine Children’s Relief Funds. The Palestinian Relief Bundle is being hosted on Itch.io, while the separate TTRPGs for Palestine Charity Bundle is taking place on Tiltify. For $8, the Palestinian Relief Bundle is offering nearly 400 total items, 103 of which are tabletop RPG systems, supplements and adventures. Mapmaking game Ex Novo is joined by the paranormal gunslinging satire FIST: Ultra Edition, along with Takuma Okada’s celebrated solo journaling game Alone on a Journey. Weird and dirty iconoclast game about money, the mind and everything else, Greed by Gormenghast is also on this list and is well worth a look. And if you’d rather keep it cosy and introspective, Cassi Mothwin’s Clean Spirit will get the whole group taking care of their domestic homes. The TTRPGs for Palestine Charity Bundle focuses solely on analogue games, providing nearly 200 tabletop games for $15. A full spreadsheet of the included titles can be viewed here and includes Nevyn Holme’s Gun&Slinger, where one player embodies an occult cowboy while the second plays their sentient, magical gun. Wendi Yu’s Here, There, Be Monsters! approaches monster hunting media from the other side of the camera with a decidedly queer lens and unapologetic politics. Makapatag’s Gubat Banwa is a lush and dynamic collision of wuxia media, fiercely romantic and tragic melodrama all set against the backdrop and folklore of The Philippines.

It's a year today since I got the keys for my flat! I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to be a homeowner, so I want to mark the occasion by giving to people who are without the safety and comfort a home should provide.

Shop Link

My itch store has digital copies of all my books (for half the price of print copies) including several that are now out of print. It is also the only place to get the special digital versions of my goblin zines, which have loads of art and writing you can't get elsewhere!

I hope you'll consider getting some of my silly little books to help an important cause, this felt like the best way to mark the aniversary of getting a home of my own, as I don't have much money to give hopefully donating my shop income will help boost the difference it makes!

[synthasytrpg]

TTRPGs for Palestine!

Come check out the TTRPGS for Palestine charity bundle! Not only is it for a good cause, but Synthasy 0.4 is in it alongside 159 other ttrpgs at a super low cost. Let's roll for humanity!

Have you thought to yourself, wow, I wish I could play Costume Fairy Adventures online but I don't have a character keeper for it? Well. My weekend of hyperfocus can fix that for you. Behold, a google sheet Character Keeper for Costume Fairy Adventures! Includes all the costumes found in the Costume Reference Booklet! Space for six players! Pretty colours!

(Has not yet been playtested so if you think it could use some tweaks for functionality, let me know.)

Costume Fairy Adventures

Costume Fairy Adventures is... well, its about fairies, who wear costumes, and have adventures. Ok that's not ALL it is, but that's a good bulk of the game, CFA is a fairly rules lite and simple system for running games about whimsical fey getting into weird shenanigans using weird costumes they made or found lying around, character creation and gameplay are both very simple, and this game is a biiit more niche than my usual spotlights, but I guarantee this one's good.

Massive TTRPG Bundle: Games for Gaza

Games for Gaza, an Itch megabundle raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians, is now live! It features 256 games from 140 creators, including over 190 TTRPGs and 40 video games (and more)! Just a $10 USD minimum!

Check it out HERE!

A Sunless Space, my micro-TTRPG inspired by Andor, is included as are loads more thematically appropriate games of pushing back against the endless encroach of empire.

Other TTRPG highlights (for me): Beam Saber, i'm sorry did you say street magic, The Ground Itself, Anamesis, Monster Care Squad, Cybermetal 2012, and Apocalypse Frame. These are just the bigger/more well known ones, but there's so much variety and lots I'm excited to dig into!

The bundle will be available for a little under two weeks and all proceeds are going directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians. It's been great to have a very, very small part in this and do something, anything, in the face of such reckless hate. Go get it if you can, spread the word, and do whatever you can in your sphere of the influence to aid the cause.

Once again, you can find the bundle HERE.
