Thank you so much! Just played SSP with 5 players (4 plus me) and had a lovely time. We played with male and female players and aged up the all-female characters to be freshmen pledges in a sorority house at a sleepover. Some indulged in silly tickling, some with laugh wrestling, lots of pillow swinging, and others dipped their painted toes into blushing sapphic moments of physical and emotional vulnerability. Lots of new feelings and carefree abandon that tip-toed toward a shared release of pent up breath we didn't realize we've been carrying. A gentle catharsis.
My favorite element was that getting whacked by a pillow didn't give you a capital-w Wound that makes your character get hurt or sad or mean. Instead, getting hit by a friend's pillow helps you lose your inhibitions and tap into a carefree, present state of love and joy. Such a beautiful space to inhabit with my actual-friends tonight. Thanks so much.
P.S. we put on a mix of highschool era nostalgic music to help us tap into the mood. Recommended!
I played this game with a group of friends and we had so much fun. We all use to live together but we got separated because of school finishing and even though we were on call, I really felt connected to them in a way I haven't been able to feel in a while.
We created an in-character group chat for the characters and that element added a lot of depth to the role playing. We also had a friend who was semi-busy that day and roleplayed as a friend who lived out of the province and wasn't part of the pillow fight.
Our setting was a group of friends at a cosplay convention and I also recommend that setting.
We played this with a group of queers - it was fun, intimate, hilarious, and occasionally sexy, and I'd definitely play it again! Highly recommended!
We may have taken an extraordinary amount of time at the beginning to find the right pyjama and character images, but it was absolutely worth it.
I also made a character keeper for the game in Google Sheets (safety tools included), which is available as a template here (everyone can make a copy for their own use).
One of the best times I've ever had on stream!! Highly recommend this game. There's so much you can do with it and can definitely find ways to play it over and over!! Thanks for making such an amazing game!!
Looks like I've shipped out every order from around that time, which might mean yours was lost in the mail. Could you reach out to me via email at dora.dee.rogers@gmail.com so I can confirm your address and send you a new one?

hi I purchased the complete version a few months back on February 22nd and never received the zine. Please follow up.
Hey, sorry about that. I'll look into it.

This is such a fun idea, and i think it would be super fun to play as a one-shot, or as a downtime activity for another game.
I made a short video about it:
I've seen and LOVE the vid, thank you so much for making it!
I'd highly recommend Philippa's channel for anyone looking to find info on cool indie games!
