This is a list of text-based IF’s (Interactive Fiction) that I and another user from itch.io, xSai or Bladed-Barbwire on Discord, made on itch.io, and I thought I’d share this here with you guys in case anyone is interested. All the credit goes to xSai for coming up with the idea. Also, note that, neither I nor xSai own the rights to any of these IF's; we are just recommending them to people as we believe they deserve more recognition and people might actually end up enjoying them. The list was made on itch.io and so, unfortunately, will have to be accessed from there for anyone wanting to access them from here. The list also had to be split into separate parts as we ran out of characters to use. All the IF’s are completely text-based, a few using some visuals and/or images, but none of them are full Visual Novels. Almost all of the IF's are made in Twine, with a few being made in ChoiceScript, Ren'py, or some other engine. Most of the IF's are free-to-play, some are pay-to-play, and some are free until they're completed and/or a price is decided. Some of the IF's have extra DLC's or bonus side content on their itch.io page or on the author's patreon, which are either free-to-play or pay-to-play. Most of the IF's can be played in a browser (works best in the itch.io app, Chrome, Firefox and some other browsers. Not guaranteed to work in every browser) with some also having a download option, but there are some IF's that only have a download option and no browser one. Most of the IF's can be played on PC and mobile, but some are not compatible for mobile. A lot of the IF's are also unfinished WIP's (Work In Progress); some of them are already completed, close to completion, just started, or may have been discontinued. Some of the links of the IF's also don't work, stop working for a while before working again, or ask for a password to access; perhaps due to being discontinued, shut down for maintenance, or for some other reason. We will continue to keep updating the list as we find more IF’s. We also have a discord server, a subreddit, a tumblr blog, and a cohost page dedicated just for this. If you, or anyone else have any IF’s you want to recommend, feel free to share them on here, the three itch.io topics, the discord server, the subreddit, the tumblr blog, or the cohost page (They have to be text-based IF’s from itch.io and need to have at least some kind of interactivity. IF’s from other sites, Visual Novels, or some other type of game will not be accepted). Or if you just want to talk, or ask me for some suggestions on which IF's to try, then feel free to do that as well. Anyway, thank you for your time, and I hope you have a good day, folks. Cheers!

Anyone here play fate grand order? I’d like a friend to help me start and actually play well

I'm looking for a fun gay bar to go and meet people! any suggestions?

i’m kind of just buying a one way ticket and seeing what happens. tell me if this is a good or bad idea .

Are there any PC gaymers on here who could use some more friends for online PC games? I do play all types of PC games.

Hi all,

I am looking to get into DND, and am looking for a queer-friendly place to learn. I have absolutely 0 experience, so a place built to explore the basics would be ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions. I live in Aurora but have a car.

Just upgraded to a 1440p monitor and looking to let go of my AOC 27” 1080p 144hz monitor for $75. Also got a GTX 1650 Super from my old build too if anyone’s interested!

Hi, visiting Colorado right now. I see the Denver eagle has a gaymer night today, has anyone gone? Thoughts? Is anyone going?

Hey Denver! I am 48-year-old man still trying to figure it all out. I'm looking for true friendship—someone patient and understanding to help me learn the art of a balanced, two-sided relationship. I've always focused on others' happiness, often feeling like a background character in my own life. Talking about myself quickly comes with a change of subject as I worry people wouldn't understand or care. As an introverted, shy over-thinker, I’m on a quest to connect with like-minded individuals. Think of me as a project!

A bit about me:

• Creative and love diving into new hobbies that enhance my knowledge and creativity.
• I usually like animals more than people and have "joint-custody" of four quirky dogs.
• I can be sarcastic and self-deprecating—it’s all in good fun to cope with insecurities.

Looking for: LGBTQIA+ friendly groups or activities to join that don't always revolve around bars/grugs/sex.

Just looking to build a meaningful, mutually beneficial friendship. No romantic or sexual interests here—just genuine connections and any recommendations that you can make would be appreciated!

I have a weekly casual commander Magic the Gathering group which meets Sundays at 7pm! We have free coffee and hot chocolate as well as decks for people to borrow! We are beginner friendly!

I like zombies, multiplayer and warzone. My activision ID is murdershewrote#9554311

Hi fellow Denver Gaymers! Are there any FFXIV people out there that are interested in making a new friend? I am just coming back into the game after a long hiatus, and would enjoy finding some like-minded friends to play with. I’m on PS5, if that matters.

25 in Lakewood. Wanting to make some friends etc. Anyone looking to play some mw3 or MtG? Any card or board games, maybe even just go hang out somewhere. I only really play online on mw3 😅

Hello! I'm looking for an in-person group. I'd love to play some D&D!!! I've got about 20 years roleplaying experience and am tired of playing online. Miss the interactions of face to face. If you have a spot in a game please DM me or reach out on discord!! (krunchy1984)

Hope to hear from you!!

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm looking to make some new friends in/around the city and to play some tabletop games. I'd love to find a weekly or every-other-week game.

​

About me:

• Story driven -- I prefer games with rich creatives plots to explore. Dungeon crawls are fun interludes, but I'm not a fan of making a whole game out of them.
• Old -- I'm an "experienced" gamer at 36 y/o, but I'm a fun time. Would love to meet gaymers around my age if possible!
• New to the city -- My partner and I just moved here, so not sure where to look for house-games.
• Edgewater -- Living in Arvada, but moving to edgewater in a few weeks. Flexible on location.

​

I love boardgame nights too, but I feel like finding those is a bit easier. That said, if you've got one let me know!

​

Feel free to slide into my DMs to ask me questions.

Hey everyone, I'm a local DM in East Denver and my partner and I just started up a drop-in West Marches style campaign that I'm really excited to share. I've got a sandbox homebrew world I created called Eventyr and my drop-in games are organized by players on a Discord server where I post quests and available game times and players self-organize what quest they'd like to undertake, with who, and how they plan to get started. All games are completely free to play unless we need to rent space at a game store, in which case the cost of the game is only to cover that expense.

If you're looking for a casual game you can make your own with no future commitments in the Denver Metro area, check it out: https://www.marcgallivan.com/drop-in-campaign  - we'd love to have some new players. Games will likely either be at my home in East Denver or at Thane's Table in Thornton, depending on how many players we have and where they're coming from. All the details on how to join and get started are on the webpage, but feel free to ask me any questions you may have as well. Hope to see you brave adventurers soon!

Hi there, just moved to Denver recently and I'm looking to play some D&D. I've got a decade of experience DM'ing and have room in my schedule for a weekly or fortnightly party.

My only requests are regular supply of snacks & beverages. Also, chocolate is optional but will earn you advantage on a roll of your choice per session.

I'm in the cap hill area and don't mind commuting 15 or 20 minutes.

Feels like a long shot cause most people work 9-5, but hoping there is a random day time crew who would welcome a seasoned player. Any time before 4pm is open for me.

Hello does anyone know of any adult online games that are out in public and online. more age appropriate than Pokemon but very similar ., something where you have to go outside maybe some sort of corny quest or a scandger hunt of some sort lol

Hi there! I’m Roux. 22yo relatively new to Denver (2ish years in the area) I’m looking to DM a group of ideally 4-5 players. I like getting to the point so here’s what y’all should know! :)

1. I’m transfem, that cannot be a problem whatsoever, it won’t be tolerated at my table.
2. I’d like to run a roleplay heavy, combat light campaign regardless of game we all decide on
3. As of right now it’s looking like Thursdays or Fridays will be the only two days I’m able to run.
4. It will be online or scheduled somewhere until I’m moved into my place in Uptown, which move in day is 3rd of July.
5. If murder hobo-ing, or unnecessarily evil/edgy characters is your idea of fun roleplay, you will not be a good fit for my table, sorry.

That’s about the basics!! :) I’ve DMed D&D 5E many a times so I’m down for that, but that’s not all! I have also played in pathfinder, Starfinder, Star Wars, All flesh must be Eaten, Deadlands, I think that covers it. Any system aside from 5E would have to be scheduled for July for sure because I’d need time to research the game otherwise.

Hi!

Looking for some fellow commanders to play the game with and/or paint little robots with. I have only played the Beginner Box rules but have the Game of Armored Combat box and two additional Lances, enough materials for at least 2-4 people to play.

If you've never played, let's learn to stomp robots together?

Enchanted Grounds Littleton is the closest LGS - but I'm willing to travel/meet up anywhere in the Denver metro area and Boulder/FoCo/Springs if we plan in advance!

I also play the Battletech PC Game and MechWarrior 5 - if there's anyone down for a digital session I would be up for it!
