I've got some new followers so I guess is time to get a new pinned thread!
I'm Armanda, a #ttrpg designer from Argentina (#RPGLATAM gang!). Most of my games are solo journaling games. Though I have some hacks and some ideas for more people.
For starters, as most of us, I have a Lasers&Feelings hack and a Honey Heist hack:
Sense and Sensibility, based on Jane Austen novels (tinyurl.com/y8x3twd7)
Trick or Treat, a childhood game for getting some good candy (tinyurl.com/5repjxka)
My first solo game is "The Lay of Our Lands", a Lost&Found game. You play as a map that passes from one cartographer to another, getting changed and experiencing different feelings. It's a reflective game that I love tinyurl.com/2p8u6rb9
"Santigo Bay" is an experimental solo game, about feelings of longing and grief. In it, you're traveling to a place you've been before with someone important to you. You solve some prompts and work through those feelings. It's all made in Paint :O tinyurl.com/4x66zhep
"Cordelia Needs A Kingdom" is a solo game about childhood, exploration and feeling safe. In it, you're a child in a forest who is building a safe haven for their plays. Anne with an E and Narnia vibes. It has simple rules for more people! tinyurl.com/2p9ckeyz
"Faster than Light" is a Wretched&Alone game about perseverance and about being the AI that controls a spaceship warping through the galaxy in order to save humanity. It's inspired by the video game FTL and Star Wars. tinyurl.com/4hzesusk
"Alone Among Trees" is a solo journaling horror game about being lost in a dark forest with little chance of surviving. You were camping with some friends, you got lost, a fog covers everything and you can swear that something is following you. tinyurl.com/3wefvpe7
"Teenage Angst" is a solo scrapbooking game about being a teenager with a lot of feelings, obsessed with a single song that speaks to them. Each scenario is a song, there are ten. You can play this with Pinterest. tinyurl.com/yckenxuv
"Paranoid Android" is a solo journaling ttrpg about (not) knowing who you are and what you've done. In it, station security has singled you out and they’ve taken you in for questioning. Are you human? Are you an android sleeping agent? tinyurl.com/mr27km9m
I have many smaller games and add-ons for other games. Are you into Utena? Or into low urban magic places? Into dungeon crawlers but through prompts? Would you like to know more about green witchcraft? Or to roll dice without sense? Check all out armandah.itch.io
I'm also conducting a program to translate for free One-Page TTRPGs from marginalized groups from English to Spanish. If you're POC, Global South, Non-Westerner, Woman, Disabled and/or LGBT+ and you want to apply, check this thread, fill the form!
I've made some useful threads that I want to share with y'all too.
First, here you can check out some cool etiquette when claiming Community Copies that won't cost you a dime
Lastly, my ko-fi, in case you want to support my art, my designs, you like my game, my threads, or whatever you feel like. I'm taking here donations for the Translation Program ko-fi.com/armandaar
Also, with some other solo ttrpg designers, we've created Alone Together, a server to talk about this kind of games (and others), we talk design, layout and stuff, but also cats and tarot decks. If you feel like joining, let me know cause twitter breaks the link when published

Since we've all been talking about fonts and free stuff, I thought that making a 🧵for free resources (or super cheap) that we can use on our #ttrpg creation, would be awesome.
Basically images, illustrations, vectors, fonts 1/25
Unsplash is awesome if you like high-quality photos for free. unsplash.com
Pixabay is a little messier and less curated, but it has photos, illustrations, and vectors categories. pixabay.com

One of my favorites to look for images for inspiration is the Public Domain Review, they have a huge catalog, the make collections and essays, and it's super interesting 3/ publicdomainreview.org/explore
Some people might have normal hobbies, mine are:
- trying to think on how to make a ttrpg about ANYTHING
- spending hours on Unsplash making "mood boards" for my simultaneous game projects
- FONT HUNTING
Feel free to share here a link to a cool font you found (if it's free, it would be better)
