Infinite Past looks cool. The basic mechanic appears to be a fun twist on social deduction.
I am a bit of a luddite maybe? Don't see how to communicate with you except to post a comment in an unrelated space (here). I just want to say that I'm really looking forward to seeing what you are doing with Traverser. It sounds like it's right up my alley!
👍. From what I’ve seen you’ve got a great central mechanic here. It may be the most engaging collaborative approach To resolution I’ve seen. Looking forward to seeing how you implement it. Cheers,
I agree. Play a session of Traverser and you can't stop thinking how every other RPG gets its energy from disagreement, and Traverser gets its from agreement.
hey Paul, was just puttering on one of my pet RPG designs and thought again about your project “Traverser”. Just checking in and expressing hope that alls well w you (and it :). Let us know if there are any updates.
A surprisingly tactile game of reflection and discovery. Small physical interactions with "just" a piece of paper can be both impactful and satisfying! I look forward to being able to properly meet up with people again to play this in part because of how much this game is in response to our current situation.
Yeah, to play it over video you'd have to physically mail the sheets to the other players in advance. Or someone might cook up a spreadsheet with the storytelling guidelines hidden until you click a checkbox to reveal them.

Thanks Davey.
Yeah, there's no way to direct message anyone on itch.io.
It's been difficult to make progress writing Traverser during the pandemic, but I'm working on it. Thanks for the motivation.

You mean Traverser (not Infinite Past)?

The snail mail approach actually sounds rather appealing? Mmmh...
