I think one thing people who are trying to create a cohost forum or various discord servers need to keep in mind is, a big part of this site's failure was due to the inability to attract and protect non-white users.
If you are jumping into making a site without considering how you are going to handle moderation and how that moderation is going to protect non-white users, it is going to either fail or turn into the most toxic cesspool imaginable.
Shit like this is why for the most part, I don't bother with most discord servers anyone. Godspeed to those of you who try tho.
YES absolutely
everything unity makes, but especially Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening for a meaty, solid traditional RPG with just enough strange things to surprise you
Wine & Roses and Ashes of Roses by craze. these games were an inspiring catalyst for Bossgame - both are RPGs focused on heavy tactics & planning, where every battle is unique and there are tons of ways to build your party. a poetic writing style and gay drama adds a lot, too ~
Cataphract OI by @mcdonalds. just a really damn cool way of navigating a dungeon with the threat of time pressure. i love anything that has the trappings of a classic RPG but uses mechanics that totally shift the tone.
don't sing me the blues, please, sing me a BRIGHT RED SONG OF LOVE by me!!! i finally did it... i released an rpg maker game this year! it's a small and strange game about two women who have fifteen minutes to explore a dungeon, get stronger, and discover its secrets before the goddess of mars tries to kill them. right now it's available as part of the LOCALLY SOURCED SPACE ANTHOLOGY along with a bunch of other games from our local indie scene!
I haven't yet played the other games in the Space Anthology, but Lily's don't sing me the blues, please, sing me a BRIGHT RED SONG OF LOVE! is great. It's a compact puzzlebox of an RPG, where you're stuck in a timeloop, gradually gaining more knowledge about how to safely navigate your hostile environment with every iteration... and learning more about your blossoming lesbian relationship too, of course.
It's a game for people who enjoyed the esoteric puzzles of Void Stranger or the unravelling sci-fi romance writing of This Is How You Lose the Time War.
