Tabletop Sweet Sixteen - Public Access v Kintsugi

Public Access (currently Kickstarting) is a Carved from Brindlewood mystery game about young adults in rural New Mexico in the early 2000s, encountering horrible things while trying to solve a mystery that keeps getting stranger.

Kintsugi is a d6 game about failing and coming back stronger. It fits on a trifold, runs in any setting you can imagine, and gets out of its own way fast enough to make one-shots feel complete.

These two games are both built around a single powerful idea. For Public Access, that idea is dread accumulating in a specific place and time. For Kintsugi, it's that failure is the point.
