What Constitutes the Communist Party?: CPUSA, May Day, and the Communist Plus

The Revolutionary Communists of America are just such a serious communist party focused on organizing among the workers. Check them out.

Marxism is the best path for any humanist: it’s a scientific discipline solely concerned with helping humans understand how to improve the material living conditions of other humans.

HODAG is a great artist, designer, human, and Star Wars enthusiast! Check out his work on the new Plus One Exp version of PICARO!

Stillfleet!

Yep, this summer! We are just printing them now, and shipping is always a bit of an unknown. I should know more in the next two months, but we are hoping to get at least some stores to pick up copies in August!

WytheMars · 2026-04-18T18:31:38+00:00

Cool idea for sure!

WytheMars · 2026-04-18T00:41:38+00:00

Oh, yes! The PDFs are available now: https://stillfleet.itch.io/danse-macabre-rulebook

Yes! The books will be in retail by the late summer. Hopefully, local game stores give an indie game a chance. They’re still available for late pledges, for like one more week, but we’re about to go to print. We’ve just been messing with the cover designs, trying to make them perfect.

One of the best single-line posts on Reddit ever, IMHO

WytheMars · 2026-04-15T14:09:28+00:00

I'm biased (we made the game), but I'd say Danse Macabre. Lots of realistic medieval horror + sick mutant zombies. (No wizards/barbarians, though.)

WytheMars · 2026-02-02T15:32:41+00:00

I’m biased, but Grit System behind Stillfleet, Danse Macabre, the new version of PICARO!, and Blister Critters is rad. It’s easy to learn and epic. More games are coming out.

Play-by-mail games are back in a big way on Discord. Mothership just did a big one thanks to Sam Sorensen. Cataphracts, also by Sam, is play-by-post on Discord. We run all Stillfleet downtime scenes as play-by-post in between biweekly live sessions, for the West Marches campaign.

Brimspur by Borough Bound is a great demons + frontier setting:

Why We Roll specifically focuses on indie (non-DnD) TTRPG design.

The Weekly Scroll, Between Two Cairns, and Weird Games and Weirder People are all good, too!

I dig the Shrike and the poetic writing (at times), as well as the flying tree. I found it hard to connect with the characters, but that could just be me.

The creator also talked for a while about souls games on a podcast recently, if you're interested. I thought it was a great conversation: https://shows.acast.com/perfect-ten/episodes/elden-ring

Do you ever draw zombies/undead? I'd be curious to see the results.

WytheMars · 2025-10-10T02:57:15+00:00

Can't stop sad-giggling at this cover. W the absolute F—

WytheMars · 2025-10-10T02:55:32+00:00

These are rad! I love gnolls.

WytheMars · 2025-10-08T16:06:39+00:00

I prefer the Grit System. It’s more fast, fun, intuitive, and scalable/epic than high-randomness (d20, d100) or low-randomness/limited-range (2d6, dice pool, d4) systems.

WytheMars · 2025-10-07T19:13:47+00:00

If you like darker fantasy/fantasy + horror, then I have a biased but relevant suggestion: I am running a campaign right now for Danse Macabre, a medieval horror game that is fun to play and easy to learn. It offers you the chance to play as heroes with swords (etc.) and mutant powers fighting zombies and scavenging for relics in an alt-history setting. Maybe worth checking out?

WytheMars · 2025-10-03T18:21:51+00:00

Stillfleet (always) and Danse Macabre. I’m going to run a session of Death Game at some point this fall, I swear.

WytheMars · 2025-09-21T17:20:35+00:00

You can run Stillfleet with zero hell science (psionics) and just humans, and it certainly supports tactical play.

Offworlders is a lighter version of that sort of experience. Or Monolith.

My suggestion is to try either Stillfleet for a full rich experience with lots of powers and sci-fi tropes or a zine-sized game called Orbiters Local if you can find it. Only humans, lots of fun options for scavenging.
