Banner for "I Could Do This In My Sleep," with the tagline: "They stole your every waking hour, now they want the rest." A outline of a head tipped back with mouth flopped open. In place of the eye, a disc radiating beams of red, white and blue light.
A two page spread. On the left-hand page, a selection of superhuman cybernetic powers, followed by a red and blue highlighted art work of a delivery biker performing the Akira bike slide. On the right-hand page, a similarly styled image of a armed and armoured security guard walking by a man lying on the ground, and a girl in the background making a derogatory two-fingered gesture.
A two-page spread featuring short descriptions and icons for several factions in the game. The left-hand page is brightly coloured and describes anti-authoritarian groups, while the right-hand page is dull and describes a combination of government entities and supporters.
A character sheet filled in with a variety of skills and equipment, suggesting a combat medic role.
I Could Do This In My Sleep #PocketQuest2025
A tiny cyberpunk RPG about bodily autonomy, labour, and resistance, available now:

Image of the cover from A Familiar Dream. Above that title says a TTRPG by jess ross and Jen Vaughn. The picture is a lavendar wall of magic items with some shelves being windows animal familiars are sticking their heads through (a badger, a horse head, a dragon tail). Other items include books, a cat, a skull, a bat, a rose, a a crystal, a besom and of course, the little sign that says Pocket Quest 2025
βοΈIn "A Familiar Dream", you are a Familiar. Your Mage is stuck dreaming and only you (and possibly other Familiars) can save the day!
@writejess.bsky.social and I made a new #PocketQuest2025 game on @drivethrurpg.com!
Time to wake up and smell the cauldron! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Iβm glad I went with this route, as Iβm really happy with the final product. Much happier than I was with the dice rolling mechanic. Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramblings about making a silly game about being an orange cat! 6/6
It was obvious this method stripped the game of its feel. You werenβt an orange cat on a heist, youβre just flipping over cards and rolling dice. So with the deadline approaching, I decided to go back to the original Carta method, but with only 52 prompts. Much more manageable. 5/?
Which, of course, I wanted too. I gave up after about 20 prompts and restarted. Instead of prompts, I decided each card would constitute a βCard Challengeβ where you roll dice to try and advance through the lab. After receiving playtest feedback, 4/?
It fit well with the image I had in my mind: an orange cat explores an evil scientistβs lab looking for the brain cell. However the Carta system requires that you write a total of 52 prompts, one for each card in the deck. 104 if you want to write different prompts for the two different modes 3/?
With how I wanted the game to be played. Researching other game systems led me to discover the Carta SRD, a system where you explore on a map of face down playing cards, and the cards determine what you encounter and find. I instantly knew this was what I wanted for Orangeβs 11 2/?
Talking a bit about my design philosophy and the creation process for Orangeβs 11, my #PocketQuest2024 entry. π§΅Initially; I had planned to make it a Honey Heist hack, and be a game with a DM and role play with a group. But it didnβt quite sit right with the image I had in my head 1/?
Just finalised the print layout and colour for Beanjackers.
Print-on-Demand copies are on the way!
