Itch.io should have a steam workshop for games and Crucially it should not be restricted to popular games or computer games. I want to submit a 2 paragraph text document as a "mod" for somebody's 10-page indie rpg

Having a boyfriend is literally free

I’m stuck in my room because i have a fresh arm tattoo that’s not exactly fun to drive with and my little sister and her friends are hanging out in the kitchen so instead of doomscrolling or agonizing over creative projects i’m sending him pictures of various car parts and asking him to name them

wheeel……

I think he likes it?

If I were just one degree bolder as a designer and the Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy rulebook wasn’t already too big I would implement a rule where your investigator has to go to the bathroom once per 10 or 20 Ticks or else lose Composure or something.

What this would add to the game is something that occasionally separates one investigator at a time from the others thus making them vulnerable, and a plausibly-deniable-through-mechanics excuse for one investigator to separate from the others on purpose in case there’s some secret they have to keep, and it would start to be noticeably weird that certain investigators (like vampires) never use the bathroom; what it would also add to the game is pissing and shitting mechanics.

This would also incentivize making investigators women because women going to the bathroom together is for a variety of reasons considered normative, which would actually further consolidate Eureka as the "cool women with something wrong with them" game
