Holy crap! Just found these gems in a drawer! Two massively formative games for me. RE3 was actually the first Resi game I played, and Silent Hill 2 legit traumatised me for life. I played the first one, but SH2 got into my bones and never let go

Meet the Designer - me! I just posted a new update over on our Backerkit Launch Party page, talking a little about my inspirations and approach to designing Ink Ribbon, our new survival horror #ttrpg love letter to Resident Evil, Alan Wake, Silent Hill, and more www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...
Ink Ribbon, our brand-new survival horror #ttrpg, is set in Sparrow's Rest, a planned community in the heart of the Midwestern United States. The city is nestled between a large mountain range to the west and a dense forest to the south, and was founded almost 30 years ago by Heal-X Pharmaceuticals.
I am so excited to finally announce INK RIBBON, a survival horror #ttrpg inspired by video games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alan Wake. I've been working on this for YEARS and I'm so happy to finally be able to talk about it! Shamble over to learn more: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...
