Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gamenomicon" data-source="post: 8117747" data-attributes="member: 7016953">Every human society eventually falters and fails.The  Collapse is a solo GM-less journaling game in which you will  document  the descent of one such society into complete breakdown. But is  all   hope lost? Perhaps the path to self-destruction can still be  avoided.   You will most likely fail, but success is not impossible.Based  on the phenomenal Wretched & Alone system,  The Collapse lets you model and explore the fall of a wide variety of  societies from internet  fandoms and hobby groups, to monarchies under  revolution, to modern or  future crumbling dystopias.Available on <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/334166/The-Collapse" target="_blank">DriveThruRPG</a> and <a href="https://gamenomicon.itch.io/the-collapse" target="_blank">Itchi.io</a>.[ATTACH=full]128098[/ATTACH]You  might also notice on Itch that this is the first submission to my first  attempt at hosting a Game Jam, the <a href="https://itch.io/jam/working-through-some-stuff-jam" target="_blank">Working Through Some Stuff Jam</a>. Now,  I don't necessarily want to delve into all of the details, but I will  say that I've been a very  long time member of another gaming community (since 2002) which has   been very near and dear to my heart. Sadly, that game lost official   support and production earlier this year and then COVID hit, which   hampered the ability of anyone to meet and play publicly. Then late this  summer, the community elected organization to keep fan content churning  collapsed in on itself. It's been a rough year for my hobbies.That  said, at one point earlier this fall, I started to realize that the   collapse of an organized society could really be anything. It could be a  hobby gaming community, it could be a parliamentary government, it   could be the death throes of a monarchy. There are so many options that could be played with in different levels of scale and flavor, but that all really boiled down to the same types of human failures.And of course, I became rather obsessed with Wretched and Alone about this same time.So  you can pretty quickly see how that realization and somewhat hopeless mindset plays very well with the near certain inevitability of collapse  in Wretched & Alone. And thus, The Collapse was born.</blockquote>
