The next revision of the playtest draft for Eat God is now up. This version includes all of the missing rules from the previous version – advancement, Progress and Calamity Clocks, etc. – as well as numerous expansions and clarifications; the game is now considered feature-complete, though it still needs worked examples, pre-made scenarios, and a whole pile of Big Stupid Tables™.
The most noteworthy addition to this draft, however, is (mostly) complete character creation rules. All but one of the remaining blanks have been filled in, and many Traits have been revised to make them more flexible and add a few interesting new rules toys. You can more easily stat up horrible little gargoyles, there’s a little something for the hypno kink crowd, and also you can be a (very small) werewolf now.
(The one remaining blank alluded to above with that “mostly” is the 36th Trait, which I’m leaving off for now because I can’t decide exactly what to slot in there and I don’t want to spin my wheels on that any longer; for now it just reads “reroll”.)
Last but not least, Eat God now has a cover illustration, thanks to the very talented @magpiemalarkey. We decided to be forthright about the game’s inspirations; for legal reasons, the depicted characters are not Muppets. (To be clear, only the illustration is their work; the text design for the game’s title is a placeholder I threw together myself using a commercial font, so don’t blame them for that part.)
As always, questions, criticisms, and bizarre rants are welcome – and if you’d like to give it a spin but don’t have a group, character creation is its own little self-contained minigame, and all you need is six-sided dice to give it a try; feel free to post your creations in the notes!

punches the ground forever i wish the moon landing was an international holiday i wish that the flag they put on the moon wasn’t American “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” well then MAKE IT ABOUT MANKIND and not about the space race fuck the space race, peace and love on planet earth we have accomplished so much!!!!! fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we made it to the moon!
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
…at this point i’m sorry to introduce…the egg spoon.
Even better news about German egg related gadgets… the Eierköpfer (it also has a super long German name), for when you need a guillotine to open your egg neatly
No offence to Germany but why are you guys so fucking insane
nothing to see here. Just normal feelings about egg.
Happy lunar landing day! I decided to spend some time baking and make a cake to celebrate! :)
It’s half vanilla and half chocolate cake with homemade buttercream and homemade wineberry jam in the middle- all the components I tasted along the way were delicious, so I’m looking forward to eating it tonight. (I’ll reblog this with more pictures later)
Phrase taken from this post by @bunjywunjy tis a wonderful image and Ive laughed every time I saw it today, so I put it on a cake :))
