      <image:title>Our Games - Always on my Mind by Kirsty Bunting, Chloé Germaine and Paul Wake</image:title>
      <image:caption>A relationship storytelling game powered by Wolfgang Warsch’s The Mind. In romance stories the outcome is a sure thing. Of course there will be hiccups along the way, but we know the characters will get it together eventually. The fun is experiencing how they get there. In games, as in life, however, things are not so certain. Always on my Mind is a relationship storytelling game powered by Wolfgang Warsch’s The Mind . In Warsch’s curious game, players are dealt cards (from a deck numbered 1-100) which they must play to the centre of the table in ascending order without communicating . Staring into each other’s eyes, players play their cards when they feel that the time is right. With each round the number of cards increases (one card at level 1, two at level 2, and so on…) until someone makes a misstep or the players reach level 12, at which point they win. Providing the mechanics for our game, The Mind combines interpersonal connection with a tension that builds as the difficulty level increases and the stakes, for the characters, become higher...</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Games - The Miasma of Miswell Hill by Chloé Germaine and James Louis Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>A threat for The Between by Jason Cordova, published by the Gauntlet The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. They are residents of a place called Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard won’t or can’t handle themselves. As the story progresses, they become aware of the plans of a Moriarty-style criminal mastermind they will eventually have to face in order to save Queen and country. The Between is directly inspired by the gothic horror TV show Penny Dreadful, but also takes a lot of inspiration from British horror classics, graphic novels like From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and pulp-era stories. Mechanically, it’s Powered by the Apocalypse but also uses the mystery system from Brindlewood Bay. Available as part of The Between Season 3 on DriveThruRPG.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Games - The Bureau of Irregularities by Chloé Germaine</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Bureau of Irregularities is inspired by and emulates the sorts of stories told in the British science fiction television show Sapphire and Steel (Peter J. Hammond, 1979 - 1982). The programme follows a pair of inter-dimensional operatives, ‘Sapphire’ and ‘Steel’ (played by Joanna Lumley and David McCallum). The audience is told very little about the purpose of these agents, but they appear to be engaged in guarding the continuing flow of time. In The Bureau of Irregularities, players take on the role of similarly mysterious agents. In this setting they usually look and act like humans, but they are not humans. They are extra-dimensional beings that are sent on assignments by the Bureau to preserve the flow of space and time throughout the Chaosmos. One player takes the role of a Director, managing the players’ progression through their assignments. Chloé’s creative work is informed by, and feeds into, her academic research. In this case, this TTRPG has developed from work she has been doing on literature, quantum physics, and temporality, which appears in the academic monograph, The Dark Matter of Children’s Fantastika: Speculative Entanglements (with Bloomsbury). The Bureau of Irregularities is an original game-world and ruleset built on the Trophy system developed by Jesse Ross, itself based on Cthulhu Dark by Graham Walmsley. All three use simple dice mechanics and light rules to enable collaborative storytelling and world-building. Chloé’s work continues to be inspired by the innovative modes of storytelling being developed by the indie TTRPG community. Codex: Time is published by Jason Cordova and David LaFreniere for The Gauntlet. The cover illustrator is Marcus Jimenez, who also produced original art work for The Bureau of Irregularities. The Gauntlet is a community that celebrates tabletop roleplaying games. Each issue of The Codex features original games, supplements for existing games, and hacks—all organised around a theme. Codex: Time is available on Drive Thru RPG.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Games - Happy Shoppers by Chloé Germaine and Paul Wake</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’ve ever played Happy Families, you already know the basics of Happy Shoppers. In this game there are eight families consisting of four cards.  Each ‘family’ is a product. You can recognise a product family because all the cards will share the same symbol. Also, each card lists the other members in that family. The aim of the game is to treat yourself by collecting as many wonderful products as possible. This game was made for the f*ck capitalism game jam on itch.io. You can find the latest version of our game by clicking on the image.</image:caption>
