Keep an eye out for sales on other storefronts as well, but Itch has ...

We’ve updated Exploit: Zero Day to 0.57.0 as part of the “Razor” release. Changes include:

• A major facelift to the jobs page! Get a glimpse of the clusters in a job right from the listing page and enjoy the new icons. (Note: the "Finished Jobs" list has not been updated yet.)
• Badge-locked choices in the midst of jobs. Previously, we could only require a badge for an entire job. This will let us weave together multiple jobs much more easily.
• A fix for a rare Javascript error on the Store page.

Y'all know what it is: Rosette Diceless Companion is out and we want to talk about it and our next work. You can listen below, read the transcript, or watch the video.

Exploit: Zero Day's "Acid Burn" alpha release is finished! It was a big one that included a slew of bug fixes and new features.

The Rosette Diceless Companion is now available! This supplement to our collaborative and consent-focused tabletop roleplaying game is available in print, PDF, and ePub versions.

It is finally here! The Rosette Diceless Companion will be out on September 24, 2021. This is a wee little episode in which Melissa gives the details on the what and where of the books. You can listen below, read the transcript, or watch the video.

On September 24, 2021, our companion volume to Rosette Diceless will be available for purchase in print, PDF, and epub formats. Rosette Diceless is our collaborative and consent-based storytelling system, and based on our years of running Rosette Diceless, we've compiled new optional rules, advice for Narrators and players in general, and new character options into a single volume for easy reference.

If you've played Rosette Diceless before: Does the pacing of Conflict feel tricky to you? Do you find that Focus isn't useful in your campaign? Would you like options for gaining resources and abilities as a group of characters? These topics and more are explored in the Companion's new material.

If you're a new player of the system, the options in this book will help you build a more flexible, customized campaign from the start.

We've always valued releasing our games on as many platforms as we find feasible. In the past, that's included Mac and iOS, but supporting these platforms no longer makes sense for us. We don't use Macintosh computers for development, and they are far more expensive to operate than Windows and ...

These aren't tough trials and tribulations, but... you know. You can listen below, read the transcript, or watch the video.
