March 12, 2025: The Psychic Danger Society

The Psychic Danger Society, now on Kickstarter, is a cozy tabletop roleplaying game of mystery, psychic prediction, community, and tea.

I'm particularly intrigued by the dice mechanic – you roll all of your dice in a "seance" at the beginning of the session, and use those results however you can during play. I'm a sucker for finite outcomes and the sort of metagaming where you're using your outside perspective to get your character into interesting trouble. If you've been looking for short roleplaying games to introduce some non-gaming friends to the hobby, this looks like a great excuse to throw a tea party and host a one-shot! Check them out and throw them some support if you are so inclined.

At the time of writing, the campaign is a hair's-breadth from reaching its goal . . . and I foresee success in its future.
