Mirror Match is a role-playing game love letter to fighting games. Players create warriors based on shared themes and origins before facing off in arena combat. Inspired by two-player fighting games, sessions see new characters constantly enter the fray and the game provides scaffolding to create your own universe of mad ninja, shotgun-toting wizards, dragon-gods, and more. All of those characters will face off in the viscera-soaked court of Bloody Mary and only you can decide how they'll fare in her wicked gaze. 

I sat down with the game's designer, Jackson Adams, to see the game in action.

The Invisible Labyrinth is a game about branching timelines, uncertain futures, and escaping what seems inevitable. Players take on the role of a small group of characters and nonlinearly create a web of timelines about their possible journeys, building a web of alternate timelines and "what if" futures.

I sat down with the game's designer, Morgan Jackson, to experience the game in action.
