I just released Critter Combo in English last night! It's a surreal creature creation game for 1-3 adventurous humans.

Collage a critter, answer prompts, celebrate human creativity! ✂ Also suitable for kids!

right, it's done. I've turned off all paid tiers on our website (bar the $10,000 a month Immortal one) & every feature, review & interview on there is now free to read (at least until I kill the site)

that's over 150 articles covering everything from Warhammer to Wanderhome, Paranoia to Pendragon

Just 2k more to go, people. And this project has been fighting for 8 months. I have seen projects funded overnight - but THIS should be funded now. Translations. Black/African stories. In a world fraught with hate, we mend it with love.

This game has one of my all-time favorite TTRPG layouts/art styles - momatoes is an absolute magician when it comes to making century-old art look new and finding the perfect fonts, colors, and juxtapositions to go with it. 🤩 Do yourselves a favor and check it out!
The Magus was featured in a popular TikTok, and people have been really supporting the game.

To celebrate this milestone, 100 community copies are now available—no need to email anymore. Get a free copy of the Magus in just a single click.

2 von 3 sind bewährte Co-Produktionen von @bratapfel.bsky.social und mir - bin gespannt, was aus unserer nächsten Game Design Idee wird!

Und das dritte sieht auch interessant aus!
Dies Jahr einfach mal zwei Hochglanzmagazine und ein von der Community illustriertes Rollenspiel mit herausgebracht.
Das XelK Magazin bei @magazinxelk.bsky.social.
Catcrawl und die DARVO bei @plotbunnygames.bsky.social.

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends

Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…
The Antisemitism Post (tm)
Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

Today is Creator Day on @itch.io!

For 24 hours, Itch doesn't take a cut from sales, meaning creators keep 100% of the money you spend.

As is tradition, I want to spend the day boosting as many indie #ttrpg people as possible, so if you have games on Itch, drop them here!

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
