Hey everyone, I'm Moss, a queer indie #ttrpg and #boardgame designer. I mostly make games about my own anxieties with a small team under the banner 'Brewist Tabletop Games'. I'm also available for editing and consults on ttrpgs. DM me for more info! More below.

Getting close to needing more eyes on Sweltergeist, my queer horror ttrpg set in a brutal heatwave. It’s a very early draft, but is anyone interested in helping me sound out some ideas?

An orange tinted image of the sky, with the sun visible in the center and a few sparse, wispy clouds around. The title ‘Sweltergeist’ is written across the top and vertically down from it in transparent text. ‘Queer Heatwave Horror’ and ‘by Brewist Tabletop Games’ are written near the bottom, which has a lightened burning effect.

NEW EPISODE!

Two brothers, Cam and Phil, sit on opposite sides of a closed door while the zombie apocalypse rages on outside. Phil has been infected, and has days left. While they wait for the end, they talk.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.

In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

Decided I'm gonna play the larp 'Long Time Listener, Last Time Caller' by Jeff Dieterle, for my birthday.

Gonna set three spaces, one for me to DJ, one for callers to enter and call in, and one for my other friends to hang out and listen to the broadcast via Discord.

I'm excited.

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is the ENnie-nominated storytelling game of the psychedelic Mesolithic. Honestly, if that sounds bad, we can't sell you on it.

Puppets, sets, smoke, 3d printed pony skulls, Maskwitches has the lot.

Three Maskwitches puppets - figures with ragged clothes and masks made out of seeds and nut shells.

An evil spirit from Forgotten Doggerland. It's made of black shiny stuff with hair.

Hey everybody, I hate to ask, but I’m putting out my hat if anyone can help. I haven’t talked about it because I didn’t want to make it a big deal but two weeks ago I had to make an emergency room visit. With the big unexpected expense, start of the month payments I’ve hit a negative balance hard

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Thank you all so much for the invested and powerful roleplay. I absolutely love seeing folks play our games and clearly being so passionately into their characters. And thank you, Sean, for guiding those lost souls to their righteous ends. I’m working on a gift for y’all (hopefully) at PaxU. 🔥🐳🔥

Finally got to sit down to finish @helpactionneeded.bsky.social’s run of HELLWHALERS. It was excellent! Perfect wrap to an awesome 4-parter. The whale encounter got intennnnnse! Highly recommend the entire thing for anyone curious about the game. A beautiful example of running the setting well done.
