Are you a trans/nonbinary/GNC person who plays TTRPGs?

Literally any TTRPGs? Dungeons and Dragons? Vampire the Masquerade? Tales from the Loop? Call of Cthulhu? Mummy the Resurrection? Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast? Literally anything? PLEASE FILL OUT MY SURVEY!

Link here! https://forms.gle/BsQrrgbboqKZ81Mv5 I’m doing research on the using of tabletop rolplaying games as an effective therapy treatment tool and the unique benefits they can offer to trans patients because there is very little research on trans experiences in the psychiatric field that doesn’t relate directly to medical transition! EVERYTHING YOU SUBMIT WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS. Most questions are written answer because I’m seeking mostly anecdotal/qualitative statements. You can also leave most questions blank if you aren’t comfortable sharing something.

Please reblog even if you don’t fill out the survey so I can get the widest sample range possible! Thank you so much!

There is a house in the woods...

If you like grouchy witches and wayward little trans girls with magic,

If you're interested in robots discovering personhood and adults coming to term with their own lives,

If you're delighted by frogs that can cook and demon children with immaculate drip,

If you want to see a story that's a mirror for who you could be,

If you yearn for a story that will fill your heart and feed your soul,

If transformation, community, found family, and building adventures big and small is something you crave, check out Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast. I had the pleasure of writing for this incredible game, and I'm delighted to say it's been released.

I was the main character writer for the robot housemaid Amelie, who's still discovering who it/he/she is, and one of my favorite chapters that I wrote was THE WITCH'S OLD HOSTEL, which is a dungeon crawl that touches on some very frightening things indeed: our imagination, and our history.

There are ways to play online with One More Multiverse, and physical books and tat to enhance your experience! Whether you're a tired angel, a prissy cat, an anxious robot housekeeper, a soggy businessman, a massive mountain troll, a sapient shrub, or something else entirely, you're bound to find a story to tell in Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast.

All you have to do is open the book.

moreover i like how there is a The Kid option in jay's games. lots of room for kids playing her games to be kids and lots of room for adults to reflect on what youth was (or should be!) like. i like games that expect kids and adults to be next to each other at the table and evaluate their different needs at the same table.

hey kid is my favorite example of such. i'm telling you- you've *gotta* try hey kid at least once.

Yazeba's Online is a slice-of-life social roleplaying game made by Possum Creek Games about a heartless witch, a peaceful house, and all the folks who have made their home inside!

Yazeba Readthrough #1

I gave up on finding a migraine free bunch of hours to lie down and read Possum Creek Games Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast. So instead! I’ll try reading some daily on phone during work breaks and in trains and y’all get a commentary thread (to remind myself to sit down for it ^^)

Music for this reading session is ofc Running Away Again from the Yazeba OST. I love the vibe it, and the cover, establish for the game. I’m currently on a train and it makes me want to look out of the window more and dive into feelings of the exciting melancholy of leaving 

Cover: I think one of the great things about the cover is the way in which it immediately hooks you on the specific characters and interactions this book is going to evolve around. Like who are these two! Why are they argueing? Will I be able to play this frog! Thief cat??? 

Table of Contents: so i did this the first time I looked a bit into the PDF too, but I gotta do it again, because the table of contents entices me similarly as the cover does There is so much to water my mouth here. if alone because Yazeba’s has fantastic fucking character names 

Some favourites: the rabbits in the garden, who wear little outfits (I want to play them immidiately) the fact that there are two characters with a nickname in the middle of their name one after the other, Niviana “Viv” of Llyn and Percival “Percy” Combustion (are they friends?) 

The "Tracks & Shelves" Chapter fascinates me. From my first rough look into this book I have a kind of idea of what they are gonna be and how they are gonna make the book work but I don’t realy know yet! Maybe they have to do with my next fascination: locked characters!

What do I have to do to play “The Zappamouschi Circus!”? who is “T.H.E.M”? “32 Maple Lane” as a character name hooks me immediately, I would read a book on that character without any further info. 

The fact that there are going to be entire chapters on resident journeys warms my heart somehow. I've been watching a lot of slice and life recently, and I'm realy looking forward to being able to see some main characters growth over a longer amount of time.

Some of the late Chapter names similarily give me preemptive and beautiful heartache. "The Witch's Old Hostel" sticks out, as it feels like alot of emotional processing is coming for us.

also i'm noticing that a character from the locked characters is part of the resident journeys, and listed after yazeba! I love the idea of the cast of residents changing. feels like a second season addition to the cast, i often end up loving the addition to the tone these bring 

i'm still in the tabel of contents and my train is arriving '^^ diving into the first pages tomorrow 

-----------

I started this on twitter, but oops, it died and i will not cling to it’s zombiefied corpse. I honestly love being back on tumblr, so this is me reposting my first thread of my readthrough here, and all upcoming threads will be primarily made for tumblr. Happy to be back!

You can see all my Readthrough posts under #zeebthrough, or mute the hashtag if you don’t wanna see them pop up on your timeline ^^

polygon had some really nice things to say about the game i helped make!

🍃☘️ On the front door of Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast, there is a sign which reads: “No soliciting, trespassing, romancing, snooping, snitching, or unnecessary smalltalk welcome.” Yazeba reserves her temper for those she catches violating these rules. Underneath that sign is a second, smaller sign which reads “Room For Everyone.”🌱🌿

A queer fantasy TTRPG about family, magic and occasionally spooky stuff!

🍓 Decorate your own room in the Bed & Breakfast and explore the entire grounds of the Bed & Breakfast.

✨Inspiration: Spirited Away, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Adventure Time.

🍞Fully rendered 2d pixel spaces for every chapter, character costumes, and MORE!

Welcome to the home of Yazeba, her residents, and guests. What was once a refuge for Yazeba from the world that had treated her with nothing but cruelty eventually became a bed and breakfast, and a refuge for others much like Yazeba. Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast is in many places at many times, but it is most frequently near the cozy village of Veilridge, somewhere on the East Coast, sometime in the 20th century. At the root of all things, the story of the BnB is about the journeys of both its owner and its long-term residents. This is a game for you to really dig into the little things characters do, break out your comedy improv chops, and allow yourself to be immersed in the lives of our main characters.
