Day of Decay
A solo drawing RPG about watching the natural process of decaying over a period of 6 hours. Or maybe 6 days? You will find out. It is also a game to appreciate the beauty and vividness of nature when we just look closely enough.
An interesting little game where you’ll be making progressive sketches, with die rolls determining the body part as well as any other information such as the surroundings, what you brought in your bag that might be on display, etc. If you’re looking to pass some time in a nice, relaxing way…or looking for a way to work on sharpening your sketching skills…or just want to try something absolutely new, this is a great little game to explore.
Murder at Morsley Manor
Invited to the opulent mansion of the enigmatic Mr. Shamus Morsley, you join a gathering of intriguing guests. Amidst whispered speculation, you dine in grandeur. Suddenly, a toast to long life from Mr. Morsley is cut short by his abrupt death - a clear murder. Now, amidst the manor’s darkened opulence, you must probe into each other’s secrets, rumors, and motives. Can you uncover the murderer before the night fades?
A fun little game of investigation, driven by a deck of playing cards. Cards get played face-down, announcing a rank higher than the previous face-down card was announced - either truthfully or not. Any player can call the bluff and, depending on the card actually played, one of the players will suffer the consequence. All things will come to a head when someone has enough Heart cards showing, at which point things proceed to see if the murder suspect gets away, or is captured. All of this is flavored with opportunities to tell stories and tidbits about your characters, letting you give life to a whodunnit scene at the table.
Dangerous Space: Dint, Eliminate Mission
Dint’s studies in advanced astrophysics have sadly gone to waste as of late, but as soon as he has enough credits…see ya!
A new hero emerges, and with him comes some new threats. We’ll talk more about Dint next week, but for now his threats will take center stage. The Cocky Sentry will be more than a mere thorn in your side, as they prevent you from completing a checkpoint on your turn unless they’ve been attacked. The Bolstered Constrictor is dangerous foe, dealing extra damage on its first attack and making you lose good dice or time if you attack them later in the session. ANd your threat, the Elite Jackal, forces you to cross out time if you did not attack during the turn…making the Constrictor even more of a pain. Add in their ability to flip Evil Dice when rolling a 1 on Evil Dice, and you’ve got a tough trio this week to take on!

Game of the Week: The Boy Who Cried Wolf on sale for just $2!
Stuck on boring sheep duty again. Everyone knows there haven't been any wolf attacks in months. Maybe it's time to make this job a little more exciting: I'll cry wolf and see who comes running!
Can't wait to see the looks on their faces... hey, what was that noise?
A small bluffing game for 3-5 players, this will have you either crying wolf or not when you peek at a card. Most of them are sheep, so if someone calls your bluff they’ll get some points, but if you were telling the truth you score for each person who fell for your bluff. Can you outwit your friends with your poker face? Get this one to the table and see who is really capable of being the boy (or girl) who cried wolf!

Polyheduel
Ascendant mages from all across the known realms gather in a duel of wizardry. In their possession are the ancient Runestones of Fate, the key to victory. Harness their energy to unleash powerful spells and become a renown wizard of legends.
A small, quick game of dueling dice, you’ll be using all of the polyhedral dice that might just be sitting around, looking for an excuse to be pulled from your shelf. With quick decisions, simple scoring, and plenty of small abilities to allow for a mix of luck and timing, you’ll find a lot of fun in this small package. Do you draft the large d12, even though it scores half its value at the end but has the highest potential (the d20 is halved for its power), or do you gamble on the d4 which will auto-win if you roll a 1 or 2 during the duel? The choices will be yours, and the game plays so fast it would be easy to run a best-of-three of this one.
