Lucian! Hey, hi. I saw in the "Inspiration" section ofVisigoths vs Mall Goths thatEarthBound was an inspiration!? Well, I run a podcast aboutEarthBound called "MOTHER," She Wroteand part of the show is speaking with creators who've been inspired or influenced by the games. I'd love to discuss this with you. This is a wonky way to attempt to contact you, but I couldn't find any other method. Shoot me an e-mail at cat@omniverse.media if you'd like to discuss!

is there any chance of there being more comm copies for bipoc living in the US?

Just ran my first game of this last night using the first adventure (Quoth the Raven, "Whatever.") and everybody loved it so so so so much. It was so easy to run, easy to play, easy to be ridiculous with. My morning has been filled with friends talking about it and telling other friends how cool it was. 

We ended with everyone getting a queer date for the Valentine's Skate, including the Visigoth Conqueror and Mall Goth Theater Tech going together after awkward admissions of feelings over a hostage negotiation (as the Mall Goths had taken Brunhilda hostage in retaliation for Raven's kidnapping). 

It was amazing. <3

i love visigoths, they invaded the roman empire along with the ostrogoths!

I found out about this game from Fandible a few years ago. When I found it hanging out inside the Racial Justice and Equality Bundle, I downloaded it immediately! I've run it twice so far, with so much enthusiasm from my players each time. There's so much silliness to be had, so many different characters to romance, and oh so many puns. We still mention Goat Danny and Chri-spear-na Aguilara every once in a while, and I have a feeling that more Goth games are in our future.

I ran The Little Mx. Scare-All Pageant adventure with a group of six a few weeks back and we all had a blast. It involved a lot of Visigoths flirting with Mall Goth-aligned clerks, fainting goat drama, and queer accessorizing. And someone wrote a full poem for the pageant at the end! 

It was my first time playing or running the game, and I'd run it again in a heartbeat: extremely manageable and extremely fun. 

I played this as part of my Discord-based birthday activities yesterday and loved it! We lost a player partway through and wound up having a much more collaborative Goths experiences, which was still incredibly fun and silly in all the ways I wanted. As a bisexual medievalist, I was all for it!

Speaking personally, this game is so much fun to run. Speaking for my players, they absolutely loved it! So much laughter and excitement at the table the whole game. It is quick to learn and teach, and also has great replay value.

Played a session of this game last summer and it was an absolute delight! So much nostalgia and EXCELLENT pun power. Can't wait to play again at home!

This is such an indulgent game, which is immense praise! It was a joy to dive into this world in our convention game at Big Bad Con. The Visigoths are melodramatic, the mall goths are melodramatic, the PUNS oh my goodness the puns. Every second of the game felt like the best moments from every 90’s teen mallrat romcom put in a blender with a medieval fantasy soap opera. It was joyously queer & superbly over the top. The game comes with the mall setting completely fleshed out, with punderfully named stores and shop clerks you can’t help falling in puppy love with. We played one of the premade scenarios in our game and it was a blast! 

I cannot wait to play this game again, I adore it!
