Tristan Cooper makes some more great content Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Tristan Cooper, social media manager for The Verge and Can I Pet The Dog, makes "Stable 4: They Like It!" based on the words:

Anachronistic
haberdasher
Racing Game

The resulting game leans into the indie game trope of making lots of cute hats for cute animals, using the materials you can scrounge from your trophy wins. And most importantly, the horses love it!

Amanda Silberling makes whatever a mail-puss game is, thanks Giovanni Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

Amanda Silberling, tech journalist and podcaster, joins the podcast mostly to dunk on former guest Giovanni Colantonio, but also to brag about going to the Olympics. Inbetween all that, they make the game "Mail-puss," a game based on the prompts:

incredibly haunted,
Mail-puss,
Played secretly at a party or event

The resulting folk game(s) can be played at any convention, party, or Olympics you're attending! If you're alone, play the name-based Mail-puss. If you have 8 people, then lean into the incredible haunted rumor-mongering version. Fun for all ages and number of players!

Lin Codega makes a meta-aggressive TTRPG Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Lin Codega, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, joins the pod to make "Spiral Apotheosis," based on the prompts:

Addictive,
Last god in the pantheon,
Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

Lin, using their expansive knowledge of what makes a TTRPG both award-winning and "Eurogame," lays out the groundwork for a game in which the rules are constantly changing, and both player and Last God are encouraged to be antagonistic with each other. It's just what DnD is doing, writ large!

Patrick Gill makes Ill Gotten Brains Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Patrick Gill, a talented video essayiest and bonkers livestreamer, joins the podcast to make a nasty brain game with the prompts:

Horrifying,
Nobody can discover your recent lottery win,
Deckbuilder

The resulting brain-reaping game pits your social skills against the people in your small town as you try to keep your terrible secret. Mash up a little old lady's brains to learn kindness, bully some children to learn whimsy, and reap the cashier at the local gas station to learn how to finagle your way out of awkward conversations. Does the local stoner know bluntness? Does the sheriff know prevaricate? Find out in Ill Gotten Brains!

Show notes

Amy Vorpahl, actress, musician and expert DM, is ready to practice making games with the prompts:

Ten-minute,
marching band simulator,
dating sim

Now it's time for the awkward marching band nerds to strip off their pseudo-military uniforms and reveal their thick buff legs.

Professor Ashley makes Haut Garbage: Love in the time of Composting Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

Professor Ashley, twitch stream and a literal real professor, challenges Jenna's base concepts about fun, flirting, and composting with the prompts:

extremely literal
composting
weeklong LARP

Together they make an education workshop with structured workshops on composting and a farmer-romancing meta game. But it is NOT a cult. For legal reasons, I must again clarify: it is NOT a cult. Also, whoever keeps track of Bridgerton and Evermore Theme Park mentions on this show, get ready to update, thaaaanks.

Laser Webber makes Slideless Bird Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

mayor

They only have two more years of funding to complete this game, where you play as a penguin trying to run for mayor on the platform of brining eternal darkness and permanent ice to your town. A tough sell, but you can sway voters by wearing cute hats and little bowties!
