His work includes sad village-building game <em>An Altogether Different River</em>, very sad journey game <em>Itchaca on the Cards</em>, and tragic mecha game <em>Spectres of Brocken</em>. He's also the organizer of Playtest Zero, a fortnightly RPG playtesting community that's been going on since 2021. </p><p>Aaron Lim on bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ehronlime.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://bsky.app/profile/ehronlime.bsky.social </a></p><p>Aaron’s itch page: <a href="https://ehronlime.itch.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://ehronlime.itch.io/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRgPC5fcwdyH70UW4lmJ3eHyuLp55kvh1OnnC3aXmqLfy3rghPNTTXqgoKihPKHmu2bZF83CAnYhfAS/pub" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Playtest Zero FAQ</a></p><p><a href="https://www.rascal.news/walking-the-walk-with-rpgs-in-malaysia/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">My article about visiting Malaysia</a> for the Asian Board Games Festival</p><p>Only Yesterday (1991)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Games Mentioned</strong></p><p><em>Ithaca on the Cards: Second Expedition</em></p><p><em>Microscope</em></p><p><em>Big Grave Fashion Fantasy</em></p><p><em>Desperation</em></p><p><em>Zhenya’s Wonder Tales</em></p><p><br></p><p>If you liked this podcast, check out <a href="https://ttrpg.in/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">the weekly Indie RPG Newsletter</a><br></p>
