My copy of Yazeba's bed and breakfast came in last week and I finally got a play session in today- and it went so well! I'm sure I'll be playing it well into the future.

🎂 Happy Birthday to Gertrude from Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast 🎂

To celebrate the date this year there's another 2 week YB&B Jam happening on itch.io (Organised by Megan Maverick) you can find it over on itch.io

While it's hard to say whether there's any one particular day that's best for submitting to a jam, if forced to chose, one would probably say the 15th of September would be as good a day as any.

Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast by Possum Creek Games

Our story begins in a sprawling old house outside time and space, where it’s always September 15th and there’s always room for a new visitor. A teen girl sits on the windowsill, reading a well-worn paperback and listening to the splashy-crashy rain come down. She's alone in the world, but soon enough the strangers who reside here will become her closest friends, family, and mentors.

If you love slice-of-life fantasy, queer found family, and cutting-edge game mechanics, then read on!

Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast is many things. It’s a bed and breakfast, of course, but it’s also this book. And this book is a book, of course, but it’s also a role-playing game—the sort of game we can play with our friends around a table, or on a voice call while hanging out, or even very, very slowly by mail.

Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast is played over the course of 48 chapters, each of which is a 1 to 2-hour scenario with its own unique but quick-to-learn rules. Players can take control of one of the 7 long-term residents of the B&B or choose from a cast of 50 quirky guests, each of whom has their own ongoing storylines.

The adventures contained within each chapter include lazy afternoons, frightful nights, insurmountable chores, and zany competitions, so every play session is full of surprises. There are bespoke game rules for overcoming mountains of laundry, picking berries, surviving a trip to the scary basement, naming constellations, and everything else that matters in a slice-of-life story. These mechanics are simple and modular, meaning you only need to know the rules for the chapter in front of you. It can take as little as 15 minutes to start playing.

After each chapter, we’ll be able to make changes to our characters and to the book—unlocking new guests and chapters and advancing the individual storylines of each character who played. Whether they've traded their heart away for magic powers or are just doing the everyday business of growing up, everything about a character can change through play, including their core identities. Over time, your copy of Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast will become a unique artifact of your group's play experience, a treasure that you can revisit and replay for decades.

Yazeba's unusual blend of premade characters, modular rules, and legacy mechanics makes it a perfect game for pick-up play: busy players can drop in and out without ever feeling lost, and anyone who wants to jump in can make a long-term impact without a long-term commitment. We’ve spent months playtesting and working with our developmental consultant Avery Alder to make sure the game is as easy as possible for new players to step into, while still offering incredible depth for the more experienced player.

Have you played YAZEBA'S BED AND BREAKFAST ?

By Mercedes Acosta, Jay Dragon, M Veselak, and Lillie Harris

A slice-of-life legacy tabletop role-playing game about a found family and their magical home.

🌈 for wanderhome; 🌧️ 🌼 for sleepaway; 🌩️ for yazeba's b&b? (i love wanderhome and sleepaway so much, they really shifted how i think about tatterpig narrative and mechanics integration, cannot wait to get a copy of yazeba's soon)

🌈: Favorite Class In Wanderhome

my favorite changes with the seasons but right now it's the Ragamuffin! i like how they've got some really intense protagonist-y picklists but don't have to lean into it, and can get into some more abstract questions around belief and death.

🌧️ Something Melancholy From Sleepaway:

🌼 Something Beautiful From Sleepaway

(both are from the litlte marginalia on the sides of the book, some of my favorite little poems I wrote for the game)

🌩️ Something spooky from Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast

this is from oen of my favorite passages in yazeba's (and also one of the last things we wrote, so new that in the current PDF release it hasnt been edited, and the version i'm showing is from the upcoming pdf update) that's about how hey kid got to the b&b

[caterjunes]

this sucks. this all fucking sucks. i wish my dad cared about me like he thinks he does, or like he wants me to think he does, or like he pretends he does. when it's not inconvenient, when he isn't forced to remember i'm trans/mentally ill/disabled/unemployed/unemployable/a Failed Citizen.

i wish anybody was treating it like a big deal that i traveled halfway across the country to spend time with them. it felt like a big deal to me.

[windienine]

i love making my own ttrpg characters as much as anyone but i have a specific adoration for any game or module with the chutzpah to go "you're this yahoo and her twenty seven unique neuroses we've sublimated into a mechanical framework"

This month, we read Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, a game so huge we had to break it into two episodes. We also had our first special guest and one of Yazeba's co-creators, Jay Dragon, on to discuss it with us!

You can find "Yazeba's" on Possum Creek Games' itch[dot]io linked here.

I don't think it's possible to overstate just how much I'm enjoying Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast. This game is brilliant and silly and whimsical and heartfelt. Just so much <3

it has been a very very long time since I've drawn or put stickers in a book. too long. this book is begging to be loved and made into your very own art.
