Comfy late night, with a tea at hand and a new zine to read.
Hop on board people, it's time for another #aGivacaReadsRPGs thread, where I live tweet my impressions on ⭐A Complicated Profession⭐

Before opening its pages, let's get the context out of the way:
A Complicated Profession is a light-hearted, one-shot, GM-less game by @alwayscheckers where everyone plays the role of ex-bounty hunters that are now hosting intergalactic cruises.

I've played this before (shortly more than a year ago) once, but without reading the game. This time, an indie ttrpg book club I'm part of will dedicate March to this RPG, with pre-discussion, play and post-discussion. Thus, it's time to read the zine I just got!

This month I'm putting Everway aside for a while, so that I can focus on The Royal Cartographer for my #aGivacaReadsRPGs. Seems like I'll get to play it at Rolisboa this month, so it's time to give it a thorough look.
What is The Royal Cartographer? It's a worldbuilding and mapmaking game by @Listener13, GM-less or solo, where players represent different cultures that upon the arrival of the Royal Cartographer, need to struggle to be represented in the official map.

Point 1: I can't stress enough how neat the envelope it came in is. I could probably (and I actually really did) spend several minutes just closing it with the rope, and opening it again.

It's a sunny day, I have some free time, and several new RPGs to be read.
Sounds like #aGivacaReadsRPGs time.
The Shadow of Yesterday it shall be.

Happy to see Fritz Leiber mentioned as one of the influences. I really like his stories, and he isn't mentioned as often as he should.
Also, really interesting to see a game that states exactly which previous RPGs inspired which mechanics.

I like how the 3 Pools of this game are refreshed only by fictional triggers and not by mechanical triggers that have no necessary tie with the fiction.
Having one purely reactive ability for each of these Pools also seems like a neat idea.
And now I'll be gone for lunch.
