I picked this game up last night with the intention of spending a little time being creative before bed. Three hours and six thousand words later, I had lived a story of loneliness, love, self-discovery and acceptance that genuinely moved me.

The game is wonderfully conceived and beautifully set out, and I had an absolutely wonderful time with it. I'm hoping to record my game for our podcast Patreon extra content, but if you'd like to receive a copy of the audio for yourself, please just let me know where I can send it to you!

Thank you for such an imaginative, creative game.

So glad you like it, thank you! This was the first time I've written any games, so I guess the message here is just go wild and make a ton of small stuff as a way to learn and have fun!!

We just played this game on our actual play podcast! It was such a fun one-shot, with the format really suiting a sit-down-and-play scenario. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the mechanics were really easy to pick up. I'd fully recommend it, and there's also a full detailed review on our website if anyone would find it useful: https://www.rollplusheart.co.uk/blog/green-dawn-mall

Overall we had an absolutely cracking time exploring this game, and we'll definitely play again in future if we get the chance!

We had such a great time with this game. Easy to run, easy to pick up, and encouraging imaginative roleplay over mechanics, it's a wonderful game to play out with your friends. Absolutely recommend! It's a joy to play a game where the stakes aren't world-ending or monster-defeating, but instead the daily lives of teens.

We've published a full review of the game here: https://www.rollplusheart.co.uk/blog/mall-kids

We had SUCH a wonderful time playing Something is Wrong With This House. Beautifully illustrated and clearly laid out, this game is a real love letter to the horror genre - with a twist that you get to play the spooks.

Full review is available on our blog, plus links to our actual play episodes if you'd like to check out how the game plays: https://www.rollplusheart.co.uk/blog/something-is-wrong-with-this-house

These session zero games are such a wonderful tool to help bring real depth to your characters, worlds and games. We use them before most games and we adore them - full of thoughtful questions and prompts that really engage players with a world and make your storytelling collaborative. Absolutely recommend picking them up!

We had such a wonderful time with this game! The mechanics are easy to pick up and encourage and support roleplaying at the core of the experience. There's a really nice breadth of character backgrounds to choose from to really make your character your own. I'd absolutely recommend this!

We had a great and very ridiculous time with this game! The rules can sometimes be a little obscure, but as long as you're prepared to just make a decision and roll with it, you'll have a wonderful and very silly time.

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is such an incredible, inclusive, enjoyable game. Easy to pick up and with a great combination of emotional and combat mechanics mean that you can explore meaningful characters with real depth. We'd absolutely recommend this to any queer lover of ttrpgs!
