In this episode, Marley plays a TTRPG all by his lonesome, as Cole has been feeling under the weather (P.S. You should send them your well-wishes to @IceColeBrew on Twitter...). In any case, Marley takes this opportunity to explore the 110 year history of the Spaceship Theseus with a really good world-building game.
See, the world-building game in question isThe Ground Itself by Everest Pipkin. It's an evolution of The Quiet Year with some Microscope thrown in. And yes, it's not technically a solo game, but the game's prompts make it easy to play with as a journaling game (even though collaborating with friends is far more fun).
The episode closes out with shout outs to the Sci-Fi Is The Best vs Fantasy Is The Best bundles, which are currently competing to settle the issue once and for all.
(Btw: Sci-Fi is the best, even though we are perhaps biased on that front given that Marley's Apocalypse Roadtrip is one of the games in that bundle...)
And also, The Awards (an indie TTRPG awards show that presents itself as an Ennie-alternative for weird, alternative TTRPGs) is looking for designers to submit their TTRPGs and judges to judge them. Last year's winners included some stone cold bangers, so be sure to read through them...
Featuring Marley (@Mynar_Lenahan).
Produced by Marley, as well.
