unlabelledView post →#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 9/6 (links in comments) Myself and a few other authors get together once a week to game. It's very nostalgic. The game is Modern Gods and you play as assorted deities, myths, and such. As always, the fun lies in seeing how much you can get away with.

unlabelledView post →Can folks please suggest some comics/SF flavored places I should send a press release for the upcoming Girl Genius game release? Rain Games has the gaming side of things covered, but I want to do my part!

unlabelledView post →You might have thought that I would cool it with the Girl Genius posts now that the game is out, but you were wrong! Because the erudite and delightful @jasondhenderson.bsky.social interviews @thephilfoglio.bsky.social and Rain Games' Kenny Engelson on his podcast! www.iheart.com/podcast/966-...
unlabelledView post →Amazing to see there's a Girl Genius game. On the Switch even. With a physical release. And decent reviews.
unlabelledView post →Girl Genius: The Works is available now. Get it here: tinyurl.com/yc776tt2 The Works is a unique puzzle-style card game for 2 or more players, designed by James Ernest, and based on the Girl Genius comic by Phil and Kaja Foglio. #comics #cardgame #comicbooks
unlabelledView post →parallel to t2, we had a second team working on Girl Genius, a third person 3d adventure game in the zelda vein, based on the very critiacally acclaimed web comic, which we made mostly because Peter met the creators at a con and it felt like a good match.
unlabelledView post →Oh, Eve also did the wonderful character art in the Girl Genius game, right? ❤️❤️❤️
unlabelledView post →STREAM OVER! The game was Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne. It is certainly one of the games of all time - not bad, not great, and definitely for fans of the comic. But I like it enough to keep going~
unlabelledView post →I am amused that @thephilfoglio.bsky.social 's game GIRL GENIUS Adventures In Castle Heterodyne includes the "Drink Digger" sign from the comics, referencing @tkingfisher.bsky.social 's most excellent webcomic...
unlabelledView post →That's absolutely not how it went down, but you're giving me the opportunity to be a wacky goblin pilot in a steampunk game, I've read too much Girl Genius over the years not to go for the Jägermonster-adjacent character, sorry not sorry
unlabelledView post →Shelly gets all Steampunk with her game review this week as she checks out Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne. See what she thinks here: youtube.com/watch?v=JjLz... And if you aren't familiar with the Girl Genius story, check out @girlgenius.bsky.social for more 🙂 #gamereview
unlabelledView post →For those who may not know, this is made by the same folks behind "Teslagrad", and "Girl Genius: Adventures In Castle Heterodyne". I've only put in about 20 minutes, and I'm already in love with this game. THERE'S EVEN AN ACCESSIBILTY OPTION AVAILABLE FOR PLATFORMING DINGUSES LIKE ME! <3
unlabelledView post →I'm well aware. The CCG came after the comics. The core mechanic became teh Girl Genius The Works card game.
unlabelledView post →It's time for us to get comedic as we go back to visiting our comic artist pal Amanda and continue our look at Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne, a game in which our hero Agatha comes back to reclaim her family's sentient castle. Come watch at twitch.tv/lolodepuzlo
unlabelledView post →If you buy the Girl Genius Card Game it's the Xxxenophile mechanics but not a deckbuilder. Just a standalone deck with Girl Genius steampunk artwork from the Foglio comics.
unlabelledView post →It came out circa 1997. Designed by James Ernest (who founded Cheapass Games). Like Xxxenophile the comic series, the card game was also NSFW and playful and meta while still being inventively fun. They repurposed the mechanics for the Girl Genius card game (also based on Phil Foglio's comics)
unlabelledView post →Took advantage of the Greater Than Games sale last week and got a load of games. Everything for Bottom of the 9th; Compounded Peer Reviewed Edition; the complete Girl Genius card game (which was unknown to me) and a Girl Genius poker deck; and Unexploded Cow.
unlabelledView post →STREAM OVER We beat the game! Well, the main story anyways. There's completion now... but that might not be streamed. I enjoyed Girl Genius, but not THAT much, and Agatha's butt can only entrance me for so long.
unlabelledView post →A favorite web comic going back 10 years was Girl Genius (which is still continuing to this day). I just played the game version here at #PAXWest, launching in 3 days. Very cool! store.steampowered.com/app/1789370/...
unlabelledView post →Kaja & I will be at PAX West, in the Seattle Convention Center, at Booth 2525 to help promote the Girl Genius video game (coming September 5). Now, we won't be there ALL the time, since The Flesh Is Weak, but we'll swing by often enough, and will be open to sign, chat, or whatever. See you there!
unlabelledView post →Please add Girl Genius: Adventures In Castle Heterodyne to your wishlist on Steam! More wishlists create more visibility on the platform, and I can't wait for everyone to see how this scrappy indie game studio in Norway knocked it out of the park! Don't have a Steam account? Get one (please)!
unlabelledView post →GG even has a video game coming out soon (I'm an unapologetic shill for Girl Genius): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1789370/Girl_Genius_Adventures_In_Castle_Heterodyne/
unlabelledView post →I did initially have that thought, but given the age of the game I just have to assume Girl Genius is an inspiration and that's why
unlabelledView post →I'm devastated that I didn't like the Girl Genius game.
unlabelledView post →Quite enjoying Oddsparks game. As automation games go, it's more fun than Satisfactory. And I keep thinking it must be inspired by Girl Genius...
unlabelledView post →There is the long game, and then there is Girl Genius. Shout-out to anyone else who loved today's Big Reveal, between two characters who last spoke to each other on the page in I believe 2006.
unlabelledView post →I saw TTRPG publishers at Sakura Con in Seattle, but it was a local publisher with an anime-themed game, and Japanime Games/Dyskami (fuck them). Also, the Foglios were selling the Girl Genius RPG, but that was alongside the rest of their books and merchandise.
unlabelledView post →Fun fact: when we made the Girl Genius tie in game, which included the comic, the original artists had to redraw a few comic panels for the game release because they featured a samus cameo
unlabelledView post →The opposite, actually. The monthly anthology comic came first, and was successful enough they tried making a CCG from it. The actual game came back eventually as Girl Genius: The Works.
unlabelledView post →Hey, the Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne video game is 70% off in the Steam Store! Play this retro style action-puzzler based on the award-winning comics! store.steampowered.com/app/1789370/...
unlabelledView post →I picked up the Girl Genius game while it was on sale during the Winter Sale. it has a few "Ratchet and Clank" elements to it with the various puzzles you solve with your wrench and the dingbot sections (though the core combat is *just* a wrench. not guns). all things being equal, I'm happy with it!
unlabelledView post →@girlgenius.bsky.social I was sort of thinking of making a Steampunk game sale on Steam with some other devs. We could join with The two Teslagrads, as well as World to the West and of course Girl Genius AICH. I was thinking of Image and Form as a possible ally in this. Any other suggestions?
unlabelledView post →Tabletop Simulator makes me mildly itchy but would def play a few rounds of it if you were interested. Another alternative if you just want the mechanics is to find a copy of Girl Genius: The Works, which uses the same mechanics and is a standalone card game.
unlabelledView post →We had a really good experience doing the Girl Genius game, because even though it was a very low budget affair, it was driven by mutual respect

unlabelledView post →@TheBookewyrme I haven't played the game. It looked fun though! The mashup though... I love the Girl Genius trio so much I want to make the mashup at least sort of match with BingLiuShen: Binghe parallels Agatha, late awakening to vast potential, bloody family history, etc. And that means :3 […]

unlabelledView post →22nd Game of the year complete - Girl Genius Adventures In Castle Heterodyne - I have no idea where I got this game at and it's based on a webcomic. Needless to say after playing this I'm a fan.
unlabelledView post →How you use any skill within the game context should be part of the skill write-up. So 'use them' is fair enough at character generation time. I can imagine a Girl Genius game with a Weird Science skill, but then you would want to know, what /type/ of weird science does the character practice? /1
