Have you played Last Train to Bremen ?

By Caro Asercion

Thirteen years ago, four struggling musicians made a deal with the Devil. What were they chasing? Fame, riches, adoration. Your classic Devil fare.

What happened next? Well, you know the way these stories go: the damned fools got it in their head to try and outrun their end of the bargain.

See, the Devil is coming to collect his due, and he doesn’t take kindly to those who can’t cough up. Which brings this story to the four of us here, now, huddled in the back of a freight car on a train hurtling to the one place the Devil will never catch us. One final, desperate shot at immortality.

And if we’re lucky? By the end of the night, one of us will still be left alive to tell the tale.

LAST TRAIN TO BREMEN is a storytelling game of doomed musicians and poor decisions. Perfect for a self-contained one shot, LAST TRAIN uses snappy rules based on Liar’s Dice and other push-your-luck dice games to deliver a tale of secrets, tension, backstabbing, and betrayal.

Build your band, saddle them with baggage, flee your cursed contract, and reflect together on all the choices you made that led you down this sorry path.

Just realized a new PWYW game just in time for the changing of the seasons. It was created in part by a fun creative discord game and the quickly became darker as I fleshed it out

The Ghosts Built a Home is a 2 - 4 player GMless game where one is the Human who sees Ghosts and the other players are Ghosts. The Human just wants to live a normal, Ghost free life and the Ghosts have some things to say about that. So they built a house next to there "soon to be human friend" and now want their attention.

It's a simple contested 2d6 system with notice rolls to see if anyone else noticed the strange behavior from the Human.

I hope you enjoy!!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shown interest in and supported Afterlife Archive so far. The reblogs, hearts, downloads on Itch, and the comments have been so encouraging.

This is the first rpg I've ever made, and there's been a learning curve.

But what a creative, diverse, inspiring community of people. The ideas I come across on the daily, the perspectives they explore, the limits they push with mechanics and narrative infusion— I'm often left giddy with enthusiasm over all the possibilities presented. It's just SO COOL.

So thank you for giving Afterlife Archive— and me —a moment to play in your mind.

There's still more work to be done on the game. The art part. And then the Kickstarter printrun campaign. But things are going really well.

I want to share all the new artwork that's been prepared thus far for the updated version that's soon to drop (the Demon isn't done yet— he's still in the line art stage and needs shading!):

[amberautumnfaebrooke]

mad alien with a box is a gmless doctor who story game for 3-7 players where you will tell an entire season of doctor who stories together, from madcap historical adventures to tense spaceship thrillers.

unlike other games where each player plays a different character, in mad alien with a box everyone takes turns playing as different characters, monsters, and aspects of the story, so you don't need to worry about which player gets to be the doctor. everyone takes turns in the spotlight during the game just as much as you take turns deciding where and when to set a given episode.

the game lets you include familiar characters, locations, and monsters - you can happily play the fourth doctor and sarah jane smith fighting daleks or the tenth doctor and donna on the run from weeping angels - or it lets you create your own doctor, your own companions, your own monsters! the doctor who adventure of your dreams!

"woah that sounds like the doctor who game i've always wanted, i wonder how much it co-" FREE FREE FREE IT COSTS NOTHING IT'S RIGHT BEHIND THE LINK FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE

"[G]ood news: You don’t always need a GM to play TTRPGs. I love telling stories with my friends, but I’ve never in my life been able to commit to GMing… so I’ve built up a stable of GM-less games that I can pull out and play with zero prep." — Zora Gilbert Read Zora's GMless games recommendations at sidequest.zone!
