Gallerie TTRPG: Queer Stories of Beauty, Horror, and Hope

Hey all! I plan on having some games to stream this weekend for you, but tonight lets check out some videos you may have missed so you can get some in-depth info on how to play Gallerie!


I feel like y'all probably have a pretty good feel for the content in this game, so I want to start you off here: A playlist of a bunch of the core mechanics.

There are 5 videos in here that are each between 3 and 10 minutes long that will give you the rundown on most if the core dice mechanics in the game, as well as some neat side features. There's also one of several character creation examples done live at the end so you can see them used in real time. Check them out either before or during our live games so you better understand what the dice are doing. Gallerie's a very simple game mechanically; you'll have a good enough idea of how it works after these that you could drop right into a live game and not be lost.


From there, you could proceed through the tomb of the silver monkey through the prelude document videos! These were released during the campaign spinup and involve going through the Prelude document (that's this guy if you missed it:

spread-by-spread and explaining thought processes and ideas behind the game and design. There are fully 13 videos in this list so there's lots to see! Most of them are between 7-10 minutes.

At this point you're pretty well-versed in the overview of the place, so dive in with some actual play! We have a whole weekend's worth of live play videos stored on twitch right now where you can see these ideas put into practice with some truly original and creative characters. A stuffed snake made of yarn, a late 1800's trans glassier, a living shotgun who just wants to be loved, a jailbreak of 300 raccoons on a steamship, come check them out!

Starting next week, I'll also be working on a new set of videos that are diverging a bit from the mechanisms of the game and getting deeper into why I wanted to make it and what they mean to me. Here's the list of ideas I'm currently tumbling around!

Favorite Brushwork

 Favorite Manifestation and Motiff powers

 Favorite Favor

 Favorite Enemy

 Manifestation videos (All 6 motiff options broken down)
The nature of Manifestation and how it pertains to queer and therian experiences

I'd love to know which one's you'd all like to see first! Hit it up in the poll below, but do it quick! It ends Sunday!

Hey everyone, welcome one welcome all! We're continuing our game from last Saturday tonight at 7pm PACIFIC, and even better news: the Backerkit stream mirror seems to be working! 

Come join us either at https://www.twitch.tv/weaponsgradefunk or right here on backerkit!

If you'd like to peek in on last Saturday's session (which had a full combat in it) you can check that out here! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2785473391

Joining in is a great way to see the system run in real time, check out some of the drama and interest of the setting, see some of the diversity of abilities, and ask questions if you'd like! We'll see you there!

Thank you all for a colossal opening weekend! We're two days down and nearly halfway to our goal! Technical difficulties notwithstanding, the weekend streams were a blast and you can check them all out on the WGF twitch if you want to see how established games run and how a brand new game with brand new players and wildly different origins comes together to form a coherent party!

Some of my favorite highlights:

Muses can be *anything*. We had a character that was literally an animated shotgun running around on all fours.

We had a 100-raccoon jailbreak on a steamship falling through the air and crashing into a forest.

We had the world's most ADHD stuffed snake come to life to cheerfully greet her family only to horrify them with her yarnlike visage and send them fleeing from the vicinity (she was very sweet though, she wrote "ILL SeE YoU AgAiN" in biiiiiiig bloodred letters on the wall so they'd be sure not to miss it!)

You can check them all out at https://www.twitch.tv/weaponsgradefunk/videos in the recents!

COMING UP
Many of these games will be continuing throughout the weeks to come, including the Saturday and Sunday evening one. Ill be posting an update soon with a full stream schedule breakdown!

PUSH TO THE FINISH
Peeps, it would be amazing if we could get to funded within our first week. It's more than possible and it would really help get eyes on the project. Spreading the word is everything here, we are at the mercy of the algorithm and your word of mouth means the world. Let me give you something to make it easier!

This is a direct link to the preview document, so you can pass it easily to people with the backerkit url and they can get an instant feel for the game! Please do spread it around!

Our second day of gaming starts now! Join me on Twitch at 11am PST for the second episode of our Trouble Brewing launch! We're working through the prelude and getting a whole grip of very unique characters together  from absolute zero. You can watch them working up form character creation to an instant start right here!

We also had an amazing evening game last night, and there'll be another tonight for you night owls. Those start around 7 Pacific!

Today is your last chance to get in on the early bird rewards! Remember, they only apply to physical tiers, so consider upgrading if you're in the .pdf level and spread the word if you know anyone who may want one!

Hey all, our first weekend game is complete! You can watch it here:

The followup to this game will be happening tomorrow at 11am PACIFIC on https://www.twitch.tv/weaponsgradefunk so be sure to drop in and check it out!

We have another game today with a whole other group starting at 7pm PACIFIC at https://www.twitch.tv/weaponsgradefunk , so if you missed the morning come join us for a new adventure and a new Guide then! Plus more coming tomorrow!

As mentioned earlier, we're experiencing a weird issue with the stream mirroring here on Backerkit. I'm still messing with it and hopefully it can come together soon but in the meantime you can tune in on twitch!
