The Proto-Martian Archives is free and I'd love to hear what you think about the take on myths + especially about the pulpy sword and sorcery classes. I had a lot of fun writing them, the format taking inspiration from the Failed Careers of Electric Bastionland. spicytunarpg.itch.io/proto-martia...

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 5d

...each other despite knowing it could all end at any moment. The first adventure for the Proto-Martian Archives is designed to really challenge what that might look like, and what it means to prove your worth to the creators.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 5d

The Proto-Martian Archives is also the second time I've designed with the ideas of protohumans, the myths of flawed creations generally destroyed by a flood. The Mayan wood manakins, the clay people destroyed in the Sumerian Atra-Hasis, etc. The first was a short journaling game, Born of Pine.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 5d

A Butterfly Dies and future Sacred Suns games focus on reimagining myths, placing opposing factions acting towards accomplishing the end goal or opposing it and keeping it ambiguous to who is doing the right thing. A big focus on the social interactions and discovery alongside any need for violence.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 5d

The Proto-Martian Archives is officially submitted to the #1pRPGjam ! Took time to tidy up HP & SOUL, added a Death Roll, and a minor change to the Fireworn class. A Solo/Duet adventure game where you play as the Sap Kin proto-martians inspired by Fallen, Kal-Arath, and Electric Bastionland.

Broadcasting Violence! was written and illustrated by myself, and edited by Chris Airiau who really tidied it up. BV! is an investigative pressure cooker turned slasher survival horror mission with a healthy dose of blood splatter and a pinch of absurdity. I'm excited they're finally out!

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 6d

Carved Like a Covenant was written by D. G. Chapman. We got to get Arcvein back for illustrations, and the impeccable Chris Airiau on editing! CLAC is a race to extract the Holy Summit Tablets, where the crew must survive a rival group and a deadlier alien trapped inside a battered bazaar.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· 6d

Broadcasting Violence! and Carved Like a Covenant are also now available digitally! (Physical zines coming soon) These were released alongside The Hands That Feed and play cleanly as oneshots or twoshots. Itch BV spicytunarpg.itch.io/broadcasting... CLAC spicytunarpg.itch.io/carved-like-...

Your road trip is almost over... But, who was he? And...who are you now that it's done? Wait...weren't there more of us when the trip started? Did anyone make it? Help us bring you home. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar... And, Thank you for Shopping...

Rusty white van with Free Candy in blood red on the side. Text reads Final 24 HRS, your trip is almost over. Outlined text textures the background, a repeated and progressively non-uniform July 16th over a red background..

Three figures with plastic bags over there heads in front of a red background. White text reads Who was is he? with the Was crossed out. Barely distinguishable red on top of the background reads Do you remember?

A mannequin with a plastic bag over it's head. Red background. Black text reads Who Were Are You? with the Were crossed out. The same barely distinguishable red letters read Do You Remember from the image before.

Mostly black silhouette of a hand holding a tire iron, liquid dripping heavily from it, approaching or looking at a classic car with it's brights on. The light is blood red. In brighter red letters, hidden in the headlights, reads The Plastic Bagman is here. Big white letters at the top read Final 24hrs.

In further celebration of the Laughing Gas mechanic, here is another fake album cover for HMD The real music comes from "Keep Driving" by YCJY Games (fan made playlists), one of HMD's inspirations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3jn... open.spotify.com/playlist/7r2... www.reddit.com/r/keepdrivin...

Death is no longer the worst outcome. The Driver is no longer alone. The group of survivors...well it's not looking like they will be surviving for long... The horror continues for 8 more days. See you there. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jul 7

How's My Driving is almost in it's final week, and I believe the best way to celebrate is to showcase "Thank You for Shopping," the included sequel adventure. TYFS is a rather dashing expansion that takes the chase off of the road and into a para-naturally expanding mall crawl.

When your Ride takes Damage: >Mark a Tally & Roll it's Ride Die. >On X, Reduce the Ride Die Size by One Step. X=The Number of Tally Marks. When the Ride Die decreases, your Ride: >Breaks Down and you start a new Traffic Stop >& becomes undrivable until all threats are mollified.

Red square, barely discernable variety of vehicles patterned in the background and silhouette of a hand holding a tire iron dripping with unknown liquid.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jul 1

Today's How's My Driving mechanic highlight is your Ride. Pick One As a Group Sedan | Station Wagon | Wizard Van | I-Haul Truck | Pavement Princess Ride's have a starting Ride Die (your Ride's fortitude) and unique ability/drawback (e.g. Roomy, Dragon Smoke Exhaust, Gas Guzzler, etc)

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 26

Pit and Traffic Stops begin with the players (Passengers) Fuel Dice reducing one size, making all Passenger rolls more likely to result with a higher Fear Dice, meaning more Fear Points for the Plastic Bagman (The Driver) and more danger for the Passengers.

Fake album cover. White with heavy paper texture. Title Reads Illusory Security. Sitting Duck Reverse Side. Red and white tow truck with the car from the first cover hitched.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 26

How's My Driving //Fake// Album #2. Real inspiration for HMD is Scream by Wes Craven, here's the soundtrack www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... This cover is inspired by the "Engine Dies" Traffic Stop in HMD. Although you aren't quite a sitting duck in the game as a tow truck....

Fake album cover. White with heavy paper texture. Title reads Sitting Duck. Stationary red and white car.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 24

To celebrate the funding of How's My Driving? we're releasing an album* for HMD called "Need Face"!!! *The album is actually fake, but I will be linking horror movie soundtracks to enjoy or play to starting with @dngnclub.itch.io's inspirations for HMD. First up: Duel (1971) youtu.be/8C1Mx7xasgs

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 24

Self Sacrifice on the other hand guarantees your death and significantly bolsters the DRIVER, but the rest of the group is able to flee. Each option bleeds slasher feature while offering players options to push the scene the way they want their story to go.

Black background, red text. Blood splatter in the bottom left corner. Text repeats Lights, Camera, Action...

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 24

Death Moves offer a Last Stand or Self Sacrifice. Last Stand is a big risk at survival. On a fail you die and the DRIVER is bolstered and remains hunting the remainder of the group.

Dark hazy blue tinted view of a car being viewed through the windshield of another as if followed.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 24

I want to hype up how "How's My Driving?" excels at emulating classic slasher horror. I love how tension builds, the way violence works, how Stops and Stretches intensify danger or relief, and how moves support the emulation of horror films. First highlight is the Life & Death Moves.

Silhouette of a hand holding a tire iron with an unknown liquid dripping from it. The figure approaches a sports car with its lights on.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 23

40-pgs of classic slasher + action thriller with a built in sequel. Narrative currency that drives the fiction and shifts the spotlight, the deadly Plastic Bagman, and graphic design that melts your eyes. "How's My Driving?" is coming to print and the KS is live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 22

Blackthorn PDFs went to Backers this weekend. Physical copies coming soon, hopefully for a fairly quick turnaround. Can't wait to get this one out into the world.

SpicyTunaRPG@spicytunarpg· Jun 17

The Plastic Bagman begins his chase in 6 days... Free candy will be offered at the white van while you wait. Kickstarter prelaunch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar... From the melted mind of @dngnclub.itch.io #wehopeyoudontrunoutofgas

Big letters June 23rd on the right side, in black harder to read is The Plastic Bagman is Here. Red background, June 23rd repeated but only in a small stroke revealing more red behind. The Plastic Bagman, bag over head and leather jacket covering the body. Hazard label on the bottom right corner.
