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.

Mortified! Episode 159: Efficient Blood Ocean Cruising (Iron Lung)

This week, @monsterfactoryfanfic and @leylses check out the indie horror game "Iron Lung!" We discuss how playing together revealed our "proclivities," ways to incentivize exploration, and the benefits of limited scope.

Mortified! The Friendship Quest is a podcast where two long-distance friends exchange media recommendations and take a dive into things like the Artemis Fowl-to-Sasuke pipeline, making catboys mainstream with James Cameron, and occasionally invite some friends to play TTRPGs or talk about how Yugi Muto inherited male-pattern baldness from Yami Yugi.

This is specifically a question about, before choosing a route where you leave the camp and are unable to switch routes anymore, do you want to be able to hang out with all three candidates, or would you prefer a chapter where you're able to deepen your relationship with whoever you chose last time before the two of you set out (ie do you want the route choice to happen when you wake up in the morning at camp, or decisively at the end of the chapter)?

No middle ground option because I'm running the same exercise I run on my teenage niece on you guys. Being decisive is an important character trait and the people around you will be grateful for it, now choose 🔫

As an advid fantasy reader I've always just gone with my first attempt at pronouncing names. For Siruud is it sir-rude? And Tahira is it Ta-here-a? Hrbbejdhfbd I'm sorry I tried 😔

See Sir-rud is probably not incorrect but. Sir Rude is wrong dlkjhfds. I usually go with a suh-ruud but now I've said it out loud to myself so many times I dont know anymore dskjhjfsd. normally I would say "si-ruud" but not sí. sih-rood?

And Tahira is a real name that exists and people probably have, which I believe is phonetic, yes.

My Mc shaking crying throwing up like a wet cat constantly apologizing at the thought of being an inconvenience, Siruud take care of your wet cat

bullies u into standing up for yourself.

him like dammit I guess if I'm the wellspring of power for them then I have to be......................................nicer.............................

My latest review is of Ethan Yen and Kelly Tran's "Fetch My Blade!" I love the trope of dogs with swords, and I think this game does a great job of using the history of canine loyalty to create a game about unwavering devotion.

on the subject of eso, from monday to the 29th you'll get the thieves guild dlc for free (very good dlc) via picking a pocket. this year's an anniversary so I think (hope) there'll be more yet as the year goes on.

On April 4th, Thief and Outer Worlds are both free on Epic.

the Video Games for Palestine bundle has finally been approved after a 2 month delay! it will launch on April 12th. you can follow the organizer on twitter.

i've posted previously about itch.io's bundles, and while i'm sharing this here and encouraging people to purchase & spread the word, please be aware that the money collected by this bundle potentially will not reach the PCRF for months after the bundle has closed.

you can read my previous posts about the Games for Gaza bundle here, here, and here. only time will tell if the updates itch.io has made to their payout system will improve this process, but for now, if you plan on purchasing this bundle, i urge you to also match your donation to one or more of the families fundraising to leave Gaza. your money will go directly to the people in need without delay.

Hi I have a quick question about bad ritual

Sorry if this has been asked before but i've noticed that the mc has alot of autistic/neurodivergent traits that I myself experience, and I wanted to ask if this was your intention or not. Regardless I enjoy all of your games and hope you have a great day/night :)

I like to leave the door open, but BR MC doesn't have any canonical traits except for their begrudging employment at a hellish workplace where they are treated badly. That said, it's not INCORRECT of you to continue weaving those threads together if you want !! I try to write in a way that doesn't discourage it: for instance in the last chapter I tried to offer an MC the option to have experienced delusions before (which is a broad spectrum when it comes to neurodivergence). That's the beauty of the blank slate MC: you're the boss, I'm just here to refill the sandbox.
