Hello! I'm Nealyboy (he/him). I'm a middle school history teacher, and advisor to my school's D&D club. I just submitted my zine, walkmage. I was printing out a lot of great indie RPGs for my kids, trying to show them what's available outside of name brand role playing. I had the idea that I wanted to give them something super portable they could play at lunch or after school, while waiting for a ride. I showed the kids some coin-flip based games, but it turns out most kids these days don't carry change. So that got me thinking about other mechanics to replace dice, and how a person would even run a portable game anyway. I ended up with something I liked. I play tested it at the mall and around my neighborhood and had a blast.
It was cool to see other folks in this game jam playing around with diceless games and walking around.
