For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

Photograph of a poster in Belgian for Circus Barones. There is a juggler and a picture of a big top but the real take home is a massive image of a clown in eerie high definition who is, and there is no question here, doing A Big Cum judging by his face

Cut from this excellent interview about the 100 One-Page Jam is my breaking the news to @gshowitt.bsky.social that Imgur is blocked in the UK.

It prompted him to yell "KEIR!" like an '80s action villain.

One hundred one-page RPGs later, Grant Howitt isn’t ready to quit

Don’t you dare call it a legacy.
