Two characters in thick clothing are tracking down a Breaker. The character on the left has light brown skin and long black hair that is half up. The character on the right is bulky and kneeling down to smell something on the trail. He has dark skin, and long locs tied back. Next to them are two large riding dogs wearing armor. They're in a tundra landscape with mountains behind them, and even larger mountain further back.

As a Warden, you take on the task of hunting down the soul-eating monsters called Breakers. They can pop up anywhere, in any shape, so your investigation into their whereabouts will take you all over the world.

Luna Moth Zine Fest makes Manchester debut A zine can be just about anything, with creativity and imagination setting the only real limits.

Luna Moth Zine Fest is on Saturday in Manchester, New Hampshire!! And it's in the news!

The last game (and most ambitious and hardest to work on) in the "Its Brutal Desires" series:

It Wants Release, "an audio nightmare".

An Entity wants to release itself from an audio archive as Archivists listen and investigate an incident. More on this way later lol

Cover for It Wants Blood. Back and Red cover with gritty texture and the image of someone holding a knife blanded in with the background. On a jagged black box in white grindcore text: "It Wants Blood". Underneath in white on black punchout: "goreless slasher horror"

One more while I am here:

The sequel to "It Wants Souls", and part of the "Its Brutal Desires" trilogy...

It Wants Blood, "goreless slasher horror".

I've been playtesting and noodling on this one for a few years. It cooks! I am getting closer to release on this as well.

This includes all the original rules in the microTTRPG, with additional:
- advice on running the game
- expanded tables and oracles
- sample families, houses and Outsiders
- additional rules for "Grace", when families seek spiritual aid

Cover of It Wants Souls. Brutalist and Splattercore design aesthetics. Black and White picture of an abandoned house at the bottom under the logo. lavender grit and splatter effect are scattered around the edges of the cover. Demonic teeth hover above the upper left part of the "It Wants Souls" logo.

The back cover of the book. Similar splatter, with text: "Ever since you moved into this house, you've noticed it. Watching. Waiting. Your family is trying to live their life, but you feel the weight of this supernatural entity, this Outsider, intruding to create terror, trauma., and pain. It's becoming more aggressive, and it's becoming clear want it wants... Souls. Will you be able to discover enough about the Outsider to drive it away? Or will its patience finally be rewarded as it claims its prize? Play to find out.

In large, distressed, lavender text: "Diabolical Forces are Formidable." underneath is a quote from the movie The Conjuring: "These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true. The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow. - Ed Warren, the Conjuring"

Two page spread. In the lavendar background is a distorted picture of someone screaming. In the foreground in large distressed text that is tilted and covers most of left page and some of the right: IT WANTS SOULS

Soon.

It Wants Souls, a TTRPG of terror and possession. Your family has moved to a new house to start over again....what stands in their way is the Outsider, a malevolent supernatural entity that wants the soul of one of your family members.

Originally published in the Ultimate MicroTRPG book!

a fantasy map depicting the Aldarin Empire, a land with several provinces with jagged coastlines, two big mountain ranges, many forests, plains, hills, rivers, lakes and islands.

Map of a kingdom crossed by a river that goes from a mountain range in the northwest to swamps in the southeast, with a long lake in the middle. a big forest just southwest of the lake with a mountain in the center. The map is titled "Fellmyr".

a fantasy map depicting a hell. from the top to the bottom: there's a submarine city of strange towers and glass domes connected to a giant computer in the midst of reefs. a river and a lake goes south from this city in the midst of some ruins, ending on a big dam from where a timid river flows through a desert canyon. beyond the desert, there's another stretch of sea separating it from another city at the end of the map. there are planets hovering above this landscape: the remains of mars and a primeval earth covered in lava, fumes, guns and forts.

illustration depicting six different worlds in cut-out stretches of land: one is a post-apocalyptic scenario, the second is an epic fantasy land, the third is a sci-fi landscape, the fourth is a city-noir landscape, the fifth is a fairy tale world and the final one is an submarine landscape with monsters and cities. All these are being drawn to the center of the artwork where a "world under construction" is cut to show its magic demon melting core full of hellfire, circled by a magic dust ring, orbited by dragons, whitchy houses, flying wooden ships and spacecraft, surrounded by scafolding and attached to strange machinery and gigantic pipes and hoses at its bottom.

I look forward to celebrating these people and their stories with you.

As sincerely and non-parasocially as possible:

I share my love and gratitude with all of you.

OK, I'm out again! Have a great day.

I look forward to hearing the stories of those who built community, those who taught, those who did not wait for hope but instead crafted its tapestry from the threads of despair.

I want to celebrate those who didn't quit in protest but stayed and ground the gears of this cruel machine to a halt.

What I'm looking forward to WAY more:

When we've gotten our revenge by building a world that is more compassionate and just than the one they tried to destroy, I look forward to hearing all the stories about the unsung heroes who helped us through this moment and brought us to our new space.

Still mostly out, but this Friday I want to share with y'all things I am looking forward to.

The first thing I'm looking forward to is when we capture the look on their face when they realize what jokes we think they truly are. They are bad jokes, *dangerous* and ruinous jokes...

But... jokes.

Last: I am doing OK, nothing to worry about. I mostly found myself only able to make kvetching, pissed off posts and that is my signal to pull the plug and focus on my zone of control.

In no way am I going to stop making games or supporting folks making games.

Thoughtcrime Games

In the meantime... Please follow the @thoughtcrimegames.bsky.social account! I will announce things there as I release them.

Also there is a contact form on thoughtcrimegames.net if you need to reach me (bsky not a great option for a bit).

I am realizing that I am on the edge of burnout as far as TTRPG stuff goes. Very frustrated from every angle. Not going into detail.

Mostly what this means is that I am going down periscope for awhile.

Your feeds are free of my long game rambles for a bit!

If someone wants to do Griot Anthology APs, I would love to help. I have tried yo get this going before, but crickets (as is the norm, sigh)... but seriously there are great games here that are worth people's time and attention to see in an AP.
