Designed for when a group of queer friends wants to play a game but no one feels like doing campaign prep, Fusion Time is my tabletop roleplaying game inspired by Voltron, Captain Planet, and most of all Steven Universe. What does it mean to protect your Home? What are the Clashes and Bonds that affect whether you can Fuse into something greater than your individual selves? Even if you lose a battle, can you learn something about your Opponent and begin to think of them as a person?

Fusion Time has no game master; it's a collaborative game where the players work together to generate and run the world, then roll dice to see how it proceeds. Characters have scores for Struggle, Chill, Sing, and Cry, and you can't be good at all four. Every roll has an interesting outcome, and sometimes you'll try to Sing and find yourself Crying instead. Your campaign might be the intimate story of a single magical neighborhood or a galaxy-spanning story of warring mecha. All you need is a group of a few friends, six-sided dice in a couple of colors, pencils, paper, and your imagination.

Please take a look at the game! I care a lot about this one, and I'd love to hear what people think. It's available on itch.io!



I'm love to advocate that you buy nothing today, as Black Friday is a testament to capitalism (which should be destroyed), but I also would love to have more money to support my existence, so: It's itch.io Creator's Day today!

Several times a year, itch.io declines their cut and gives developers 100% of the sales proceeds on the site. It would be awesome if you'd buy stuff I've worked on today!

We at @fpg have our stuff on discount all weekend. You can buy the games together or individually! There's Rosette Diceless (and its supplement), which is a consent-first, story-focused roleplaying system for telling any kind of story conflict with the urgency and intricacy that many systems only provide for combat. There's Ossuary, a strange, dark-humor, dialogue-focused adventure game about exploring a Discordian underworld. And there's The Majesty of Colors Remastered, which is a revival for modern devices of my old flash game about love, loss, and balloons where you play a titanic, eldritch horror from beneath the waves.

If you want more options, you can check out my personal work! I've got some TTRPG stuff: a game inspired by Steven Universe, Voltron, and Captain Planet and a free Fiasco playset for playing out existentialist dramas. I also have an assortment of small games up for free, including all/most of my old Flash games in projector form (with source code available if you give me some cash)!
