Having been in Partners of Trans groups, this would be a nice welcome-to-the-family gift to share with partners.

Thank you for this. I see the care and intent. Ritual is a beautiful way to approach conversations, with care and kindness. It makes the exchange more sacred and tender, even if you honor your transman totally differently. The directions are a framework, easily adaptable.  We had a lovely discussion after reading this and asking him about gifts he'd prefer was pretty deep and useful for me, and good for him to have a chance to speak and be heard. Conversations are so important, no matter how much you think you know your partner, checking in is good.  For us it's been almost 9 years.  Thank you for caring about your fellow transmen and creating this. It is the sweetest gift. 

Holy heck, thank you! I will comb through these for sure. I did find a few "medical"-ish games searching for "surgery". 

Punctured

DIY Surgery

Not paper based:

Body on the run

"I may be a surgeon but I am on my lunch break and I don’t think I should operate on that family"   This one I'd want to play but I'm baffled by what keys to use to make things go... Spork surgery sounds fun.

Thank you for taking the time to round up a BUNCH of links, and sharing your thoughts. <3

I will be deep diving by myself, but hoping you all could be my hive mind for a minute. I am looking for analog (?) solo or group "games" that I can use or give to students at the University Library. Either quickish group activities or somethign they can pick up and work on. I have seen solo journalling games (awesome), and little games like Augur, and Gossible Squirrel. I'm sorry I don't have the language to describe exactly what might be awesome to pull off in a library and doable for busy students. Something party game style would work too. 

It's a medical school.   I remember a year ago reading about some educational larp  in a museum where visitors enacted some scientific process, but I cant find it again to reference it. Anything science /medical based, or about mental health would also work. My job title is Community Wellness Library Assistant.  :) I'm ok with just fun too, because that in itself is good.

If anything, I would love better keywords for types of gameplay that might do for snack-sized game play.

Thanks, 

A.

Never got to LARP, or TTRPG.... but utterly in love with what I find on itch.io... you all rock.

Thank you, checking it out later today. I love resources :)

Thank you! That’s a good start.  I am also thrilled to used the word ‘analog’ with games.

wait... what are the command keys? I am on a macbook. 

I am going to ask a very dumb question… I am going to try this jam challenge, but I also wouldn’t mind reading about game play/design that is NOT about video games design. I know I stumbled across stuff like this a year ago. Need a keyword for sorting stuff on the web, please.  Or a direction. Meanwhile I will go back and look at some of the simple games I adore and back track from there. Thank you! 

omg and we thought 2022 was hot. This is the perfect summer zine.
