any games you'd recommend? could be for any reason! (similarity to fallen london, you know the people who made it, you just think it's neat, etc.) besides your own, of course, I already own all of those :)
Yes, here's a list of all of the games we talked about in our newsletter last year:
Birth: an adventure puzzle game about constructing a creature from spare bones & organs.
Scarlet Hollow: an immersive, episodic horror-mystery.
Egypt: Old Kingdom: a strategy simulator of the Great Pyramids period.
The Past Within is a fun, eerie way to spend an hour with a friend.
The Pale Beyond: high stakes on the frozen wastes, Sunless Sea feelings.
King of the Castle: medieval monarch party game.
Stray Gods: an urban fantasy, musical visual novel featuring the gods of Greek myth.
Vampire Survivors: so moreish.
Knotwords: extremely satisfying crossword-anagram-puzzle game.
The Banished Vault: so gorgeous it actually makes us a bit cross.
Astronaut the Best: an anarchic comedy about assembling a team of hapless astronauts.
El Paso, Elsewhere: supernatural neo-noir shooter, in which you must destroy the villain you loved - even if it means dying yourself.
Thank Goodness You're Here: may be the only game that’s more British than the ones we make.
The Fabulous Fear Machine: pulpy horror narrative strategy.
WORLD OF HORROR: Junji Ito-adjacent roguelike.
Lies of P: tickles your Fromsoft fancy.
The Lamplighters League: essentially 1930s supernatural XCOM
Tails Noir (formerly known as Backbone): gorgeous, bleak, compelling and unsatisfying in equal measure.
Mediterrea Inferno: a spicy story about finding yourself after isolation.
DotAGE: manage a village where the Village Elder has helpfully precise visions of the future.
Slay the Princess: the princess is very bad and you have to kill her.
VR remake of The 7th Guest: very fun, silly and far less punishing than the original.
Astrea: Six-sided Oracles: interesting dice-and-deckbuilding system.
Return of the Obra Dinn: truly a modern classic.

really enjoying the implications of "once per game, something pleasant will happen". just once! that's all you get! the rest of the game will be filled with unpleasant happenings only.

Fallen London writing is 30% the most bone chilling terror you've ever experienced, 20% soul altering beautiful and poigiant prose, and 50% your character and the narrator looking at each other and trying to decide if the funny option is worth suffering the consequences of your actions

Here comes a FREE 50-page custom scenario booklet for BRP / Cthulhu TTRPG based on the lore of #fallen london, a.k.a. your latest unofficial guide to the (be)Neath.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
Just so you know, the scenario hasn't gone through the whole playtesting rigmarole yet.
English isn't my first language, so bear with me if you spot a few quirks here and there.
While I've had a blast with Sunless Sea and MoTR, I had to dive into Fallen London wikias to fill in the lore gaps.
The artwork belongs to @failbettergames, except for a handful of images conjured up by Midjourney AI: page 3 (every single one), pages 9-11 (all the portraits), pages 12-17 (yep, all of them), and page 18 (featuring Chelonites, Shroomers, Blemmigans), oh, and also page 35.
The map of London on pages 4-5 has been spiced up with extra spots that may come in handy during a game session!
Having said all that, I'm super open to any cool ideas you might have to make this even better.
You can give it a whirl online on the Homebrewery right now (works best with Chrome).
But if you prefer the Google Docs route, I've also got you covered!
Oh, and there's more! I've started cooking up a complete campaign "Keeper's Guide" to go hand in hand with this booklet. Winter will be the time when we kick off play-testing for that one. So, if you're game, it might be around a year before I can dish it out, along with any tweaks to the custom rules to keep things balanced.
Yeah, I know, time flies when you're having fun, right?
Cheers to the adventures ahead!

I feel like we need a better name for the “Victorian London has been relocated to a slightly more miserable place than normal and now you gotta resource manage” genre of game.
#fallen london#sunless sea#sunless skies#frostpunk#i can't believe it took me this long to realize fl and frostpunk are basically the same formula with WILDLY different tones#one is 'london is underground and now there are cosmic horrors#also you can bang a squid'#and the other is 'the world is an icy hellhole survival is all that matters and humanity sucks'#it's like the 'someone will die of fun' meme#but in game format

The Fallen London/Sunless series would actually be the perfect place for like, anime cat girls to exist, because no one would care. They'd be as miserable and gritty like everyone else.
Like: "Me mate Kevin went to go ponder the Orb That Turns You Into Jellied Eels.... nya" but in the meanest Irish accent you've ever heard

Getting the Fulgent Impeller isn't easy.
But with enough time and effort, you can do it.
The real question is, which ship is really the best fit for it?
5k engine power is great. For the Maenad, that's 1.4 propulsion.
But with the Lampad, you've just affixed to the hull something that's more witchcraft than engineering which runs very, very hot and is hurling the craft to and fro with sixteen times the force of its ship weight.
One path is for sanity. The other is for FUN!

i wanna live underground. in a big cave. glowing mushrooms on the walls and crystals like stars on the roof. no sound but the dripping of stalagtites. warm fire light in a stone house. comfy. quiet. dark.
#i dunno what to tag this so im gonna tag every game that gives me these vibes#baldur's gate 3#underdark my beloved#deep rock galactic#hollow knight#sunless sea#skyrim#specifically blackreach#dwarf fortress#undertale
