I decided to put my Hexmas 2025 blogposts into a nice illustrated, hyperlinked PDF format in case people would like to use them. Happy holidays!

Neat! Is there a way to speed up the text lines, for fast readers?

Thank you!

This is a really clever idea!

A quick technical heads-up, the three gradients on your text (header on first page, 'move' and 'The Last Turn' on second page) render properly in Acrobat and Firefox but appear as big boxes when viewed in SumatraPDF. I don't know if it's a weird interaction with that PDF viewer or something in your file, sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thank you for creating this! When I was making Hoarding I was envisaging a lonesome experience to add to the claustrophobic feeling, so it's interesting to see how that gets turned on its head.

Here's a possible tweak: Because the Hoarding text gets darker and weirder the deeper into the page/hoard you get, you could have players choose the dice that is physically nearest the top of the paper for the first round.

(By the way, great choice of the Barrio typeface for the subheading, it's a perfect fit for the aesthetic)

Yep, sure thing to both!

Hope you had an interesting time with it! I'll check out the recording if you're uploading it somewhere but don't inconvenience yourself if not. I'm happy for you to put your multiplayer version on Itch as long as you include a credit – I'm curious to see how that works

November is the month for the 200 Word RPGs challenge, so I've made Foragers: a free, tiny, print-and-play game about being ants and finding crumbs. Communicate your EXCITEMENT, ALARM, or ENNUI with ant pheromones.

These are great, but a couple are a bit small. In particular 'Faith' has a lot of fine line work and would look incredible as a full-page image but is only at 685x901; I don't suppose there's a higher-resolution version?

Please do!

Thanks!

Hoarding is an experimental pen-and-paper solo RPG about being a hoarder.

The idea is that you try to navigate the game's content by wending your way through cramped text which describes what you find. And maybe, if you find what you're looking for, you make it out again.

Print and play. Pick your way through the cluttered text as things get stranger and more desperate.

Did I use 96 fonts on one page? Yes I did.
