Rat Bastard Games was a joy to read with HYPERMALL and GODSTRENGTH both being incredibly cool and evocative pieces.

Lancer has been incredibly fun to play.

Cain has been super cool to watch develop and be built on.

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

HyperMall - porcupine man is already in the game, 5 minutes tops
Manticore - 2 minutes?
Don't Kill a Bird With a Baseball - The Bat Unit takes 1 minutes
GODSTRENGTH - however long it takes to explain what signifier and signified is
Coffinkeep - RAW you can't since your Delver is random. 5 min
If you were to play your ttrpg with a little kid, and said “what kind of character do you want to be?” And they said “I want to be Batman!” How easy would it be to stat up Batman in your system before the kid loses interest?

The actual time line is probably some confusing nonsense where both GODSTRENGTH and HyperMall happened way in the past, somehow, and also a new God arose at some point and was killed or trapped. Idk. They're not directly related at all but they kind of are.
September 30, 2025 at 2:58 PM
i released GODSTRENGTH like a month ago

but for games that aren't from me, i would check out fukuzatsu. i haven't had a chance to really dive into it since the kickstarter but it look crazy in there
September 21, 2025 at 5:15 PM
If you liked GODSTRENGTH, you should play the game that made it possible. World Champ's Necronautilus is amazing. Highly recommend.

And look at that list of talent!

Words in GODSTRENGTH being roll 2d6 under the Word's value but everything else being roll 2d6 under 7 will always bother me but I don't really think there's a way to fix it

God is dead. You killed Him. The world is dead. You ruined it. You're alive, for now, and you're going to go down swinging.

Warp reality with Words of Power. Fight Devils and other Killers. Embrace change as your Words morph into gibberish.

Buy GODSTRENGTH

this was so much fun, thank you @stillfleet.bsky.social for having me and my good friend Dracula on to talk about HyperMall and GODSTRENGTH
August 12, 2025 at 12:26 AM
GODSTRENGTH is coming NEXT TUESDAY on itch dot io

ASSUMING THE WORLD STILL EXISTS BY THEN LOL

A short game about language and violence, GODSTRENGTH is all about using Words of Power to shape reality in unexpected and bizarre ways.
August 6, 2025 at 4:12 PM
This whole visa bullshit has really fucked with me. I don't want to publish on itch and then have my shit pulled. But I need to sell games. Money is pretty, uh, tight.

GODSTRENGTH will be like 6.66 dollars, probably. It'll have a regular pdf and a print it yourself zine.
August 6, 2025 at 3:45 PM
The Plan (this is mostly for me)

- Finish GODSTRENGTH this week (it's gonna be rough around the edges, whatever)
- I guess publish it on itch???
- Design back cover, spine, and remaining art for HyperMall
- Collect all of Coffinkeep into a single doc
- Get working on CK's layout again
August 6, 2025 at 3:42 PM
GODSTRENGTH is set in The Is, which is basically just Fist of the North Star / pre-Fury Road Mad Max + Chainsaw Man
August 2, 2025 at 7:49 PM
The part of GODSTRENGTH where I get the reader to threaten me with a gun
August 2, 2025 at 7:43 PM
been staring at the word "GODSTRENGTH" for too long and now it doesnt mean anything
July 28, 2025 at 7:55 PM
I am also going to do this because my brain is broken in very specific ways.

Wait I wonder if I can make GODSTRENGTH 1 page
The annual one page rpg jam just launched, think I’ll take a stab at something this year because this tends to be a lot of fun and help dislodge some ideas stuck in my head. I hope you consider doing something low pressure and fun! itch.io/jam/one-page... #1pRPGjam

GODSTRENGTH is like if Necronautilus had, as the kids say, Hype Moments and Aura
July 4, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Worked too much on GODSTRENGTH while kind of anxious and now I hate everything I wrote.
March 7, 2025 at 11:36 PM
i have a bunch of non comedy games lined up for when hypermall is finished (Coffinkeep, GODSTRENGTH, and then much more nebulous plans for Cursed World (name pending), The Oldest West) but when i go back to being funny man i will probably make a game that is so mechanically dense as to be unplayable
