An AI-Powered Search and Recommendation Engine for Itch.io RPGs

You are welcome to browse my projects to find some fantasy-oriented, narrative games, a couple of settings, experimentations, and mechanics. against coercion: a game design manifesto by JPLeBreton let players wonder about things and trust them to find answers; connect players with patterns they find intrinsically fulfilling; never treat a number going up as an inherently positive or meaningful even; teach respect for the autonomy and boundaries of all things; posit alternatives to fantasies of accumulation and extraction; do not think of emotional responses as something you extract from players; produce and distribute ethically; aspire to more than escape. Among the project pages published here, you will also find a collection of tools and resources for players and TTRPG creators alike.
