I'm editing the audiobook version of Here We Used to Fly right now, and there's like a thirty second passage where I try to say "giddy-up" in a way that's mostly not hilarious.
games are art because they make you FEEL the spectrum of human emotion. tell me it isn't art how awkward this guy from reddit FELT after he read my game that has a pet butterfly in it.
I was asked today if anyone's made a Tunnel of Love for Here We Used to Fly. And, uh, yeah. Yeah I did.
Hey TTRPG friends! What's a non-TTRPG related fact about you? - I swing dance - I cook a lot, but mostly flora - I give a New Year's toast every year

Say hi if you're at Breakout this year!
Kurt Refling is a designer, writer and artist based in Ottawa. He is the co-creator of Here used to Fly, a game about abandoned theme parks and the bittersweet nostalgia of growing up. Welcome back to Breakout @KurtRefling! breakoutcon.com/articles/2023/…
BIG NEWS - @kaymarlowallen has designed a gorgeous, brilliant supplement for Here We Used to Fly. 3 new Playbooks, 2 new Attractions, PWYW on itch. (I particularly love the Yearning, but it's all so good.) Go get it! Then play Kay's other games!! earthlybody.itch.io/endless-summer
new high discovered: seeing your own, tangible work for sale in a physical store.
Three new RPGs now available at hairyt.com— Shiver RPG, inspired by #horror films and pulp TV; Here We Used To Fly, a GM-less #RPG about an abandoned theme park; and Lore of Aetherra: The Lost Druid Campaign Book, compatible with 5th edition #DnD! #TTRPG
R+H has taken a fun freeform approach, which works great with their tight knit playgroup and easy banter. The longform single-scene variant has got my imagination brain spinning about how HWUtF would look as a larp. Check it out, and then listen to the rest of their work! [2/2]
Roll Plus Heart is doing a 2 episode actual play of Here We Used to Fly! When @Starling_Dust reached out to me a few months ago, I was very excited. There are only so many opportunities to see your game in action without being involved, and this was the first occasion. [1/2]
EPISODE DAY! Check out our game of 'Here We Used To Fly', a game by @KurtRefling and Ian Howard. A beautiful, narrative game about the magic of childhood and growing up set in a theme park. Go get it! Go on, get! Wherever you get your podcasts!
I adore the creative culture of the TTRPG scene. Grant Howitt designed a game, I made a playsheet, Jules illustrated a cast of characters, and then Sofi here pulled it all together for a game -- complete with full sheet translation. None of us will ever meet. Just too cool.
Jugando The witch is dead virtual con chiques de @elculto_rol 🔥 'encontraron a papá y rescataron a mamá, mientras que en el proceso mataron a un cura' (? Thanks to @gshowitt for the awesome game! @KurtRefling for the play sheet & @PyriteWolf por sus ilustraciones! 💜
They'd ALREADY PLAYED the game. Multiple staff members backed the Kickstarter. Their museum is on the site of a real carrousel factory. They have a WORKING 1916 CARROUSEL. They want people to roleplay amidst their exhibits. They ask me to come. How could I say no to that? [5/6]
So I send the museum an email with a pre-release copy of the game. I explain what it is and offer to help in any way that I reasonably can. The message I got back was not what I expected at all. [4/6]
This was just before the release of Here We Used to Fly, my game about abandoned theme parks and growing up. Part of me wondered if a curator had googled "theme park game" and found my weird TTRPG without knowing what it was. My dad thought it was a scam. [3/6]
"Hello Kurt, we are an amusement museum located near Niagara Falls NY interested in having an event around your new TTRPG." So I'm intrigued, obviously. I love museums (the more niche the better). But why me, and why now? [2/6]
