Thanks for checking out this very serious game! It should run for a couple of hours with a standard group size of 4 (though can be longer depending on how focused players are on the wonders of bowling or if there are more people crammed in).

Its 5 frames for each person - so everyone will take a maximum of 10 throws (or 5 if you are super talented and can't stop getting strikes).

I hope the event goes well! Let me know

Its designed for 2-6 players, plus the GM

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it - let me know how your game goes!

I made a short and very silly extremely serious TTRPG about bowling! I wanted to make a system simple enough to slot into other games, but also with enough personality and humour to stand on its own. If anyone plays it do let me know as I would love to hear people's opinions! You can find the game here: https://joeisokay.itch.io/bowling 

I had the exact same issue, looks like a few games got left out for some reason.

Do you know why my game isn't included - I'm trying to figure out if there is anything in my url that led to it getting missed, so I don't miss out on taking part in future bundles!

I was just wondering about my games inclusion, as I posted my game before the deadline but it wasn't picked up for some reason.

I was also wondering this

I've noticed that my game (https://joeisokay.itch.io/darkness) didn't make it into the bundle despite me submitting it before the deadline and it seeming to meet all the criteria. Is there any reason for this? I just wanted to check I didn't do something wrong, as I was very keen to help support these charities. 

Thank you for doing this!

Hi Scott, Thank you for your message and interest in Writers in the Darkness. Please drop me an email at josephokelly1@hotmail.com and we can discuss things there.

Glad you could figure out the rule and I'm sorry it wasn't as clear as it could be. Let me know if you have any questions about the game.

I hope you enjoy playing it with your boyfriend!

Thank you for checking out my game! While this is up to exactly how you'd want to run the game, I think the player & GM should talk through the rules of the game (making sure the player understands how to play), decide the relationship between writer and player and why they can't leave the location and then discuss safety. Then the GM should be free to send the first letter, starting the game off and asking for help.

Writers in the Darkness is an immersive, horror, role-playing game, heavily inspired by Lovecraft and played entirely by writing letters between two people. Either take the role of The Writer, who describes the setting and the horrible dangers they have found themselves in or The Player, who advises and guides them to try and save them from The Threat.

This is my first  proper RPG, so I've made it 100% off for the first week, so if it sounds interesting to you, give it a download.
