Mud Ghost Estate is a spooky tabletop role-playing game inspired by Hong Kong folklore and urban legends. You play as a group of daring teenagers exploring a haunted public housing estate in the 90s.

Looks like it needs playing cards and jenga bricks to play

It started with Yochanan (Hebrew) -> Ioannis (Greek) -> Johannes (Mediaeval Latin) -> Jon (Middle English), but now every language seems to have a version, e.g.

• Hans
• Joanna
• Hanna
• Jan
• Ivan/Ivanka
• Vanja
• Jens
• Sean/Shaun/Shawn/Shane
• Joan/Jane/Jean/Janis
• Evan/Ewan
• Jock/Jack
• Ian/Iain/Ianto
• Juan
• Yiannis/Gianna
• Gianni/Giovanni/Vanni/Giovanna
• Jonas
• Ivo/Iva
• Eoin/Owen
• Seonaid/Siubhan

and those are just the ones I've heard used, there are hundreds more!

It uses the Wretched & Alone system which I know nothing about, anyone played it before

Distress Calls is a sci-fi horror micro-RPG centering around the skeleton crew of an understaffed space station, rundown research facility, or underpopulated frontier colony. When outside influences introduce complications, will the party work together, or tear each other apart trying to stay alive?

Clocking in at a single page (double-sided), Distress Calls is packed with robust tables for character & plot generation, and game mechanics to keep players on their toes at all times. Distress, and how easy it is to accrue, will make everyone need to choose their actions wisely.

Distress Calls is inspired by such franchises as Alien, The Thing (and really all of John Carpenter's body of work), Event Horizon, and Outland. The base dice resolution mechanic draws influence from PbtA-based games.

Fuorimondo! is an easy to learn and fun to play table-top role-playing game of out-of-this-world adventures in outer space. It is based on the Passkey System and inspired by sci-fi genres such as utopian space exploration, sword and planet and space operas.

Fuorimondo! features player-centered collaborative role-play, and quick character creation with lots of room for customisation. It provides a variety of prompts and roll tables for generating adventures, alien species, planets, anomalies, spaceships and more!

Whatever your preferred flavour of outer-space adventure, Fuorimondo! gives you the rules and tools to bring it to life at your gaming table.

As discussed in the comments on the original post this is more of a joke than a real RPG, hence posting it here rather than [email protected]

Their docs say it requires BitWarden Premium (security seems like a weird thing to paywall but hey I'm grateful there's a free option at all!) but I've seen a few older posts saying you can still set up a yubikey on the free tier using some kind of TOTP mode. Has anyone tried this, or knows how it works?

Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.

It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019.

We're all well aware of Steam's summer sales, but don't forget that indie storefront itch.io also has a lot of games on sale this week. I've linked to my post in [email protected] which covers 22 games that are currently completely free, but you can browse their games on sale page directly for a huge number of indies (of varying quality!)
