I sort of love how this erotic role playing game appears to be built on a solidly math heavy 1980s rules framework.

Hm, maybe instead of a permanent location, we just need something affordable to rent for two weeks…

Can’t wait to see what’s coming out of this! Also, there should be way more such artist-in-residence and co-development things!

I always dreamed about starting a space that offers something like this, but, well, the physical space is still waiting for me to find it 😅
On my way to Berlin for @therabbitgames.bsky.social! Four weeks of co-development with other gamedevs! Excited to meet the rest of the rabbits! And curious to see how this will shape Crownbreakers…
It’s sooo good! 😍
Ithaca in the Cards: Second Expedition is a storygame about doomed travelers on a perilous journey home. It's inspired by The Odyssey, and blackjack, and it's about how you deal with loss and the vagaries of fate as you desperately reach for home.
Get them! Like all of them!!1! 🤩

Then take the 20% you saved and buy some more indie ttrpgs from your favorite creator that deserves it!
I've got a couple new releases (Ithaca in the Cards 2E and What Should We Have Tomorrow? Full Course are now both out on digital), but itch also has a Halloween Sale thing going on, so you can get all my games for 20% off until early next week. itch.io/s/165914/hal...

My new game zine! HOW DO ALIENS DO "IT"? is a game about confused teenage aliens trying to work out what their information-scarce society isn't telling them. It's playful, but approaches big themes lightly. It's pay what you like, but do pay nowt. #ttrpg

Bluesky do your magic.🪄

Gibt es in Wien Wohngemeinschaften für Menschen, die einfach nicht mehr alleine sein möchten?
Wo jede*r ein kleines Zimmer für sich hat, es eine Waschküche gibt, eine gemeinsame Küche und einen Gemeinschaftsraum?

Gerne Repost.
Leider nein 😔 kann die Suche aber gut verstehen und werde mich mal umhören!
Wondering about how to turn this into an exclusive pin for the crowdfunding of The Lands Remaining… 😏

As I get ever closer to solving the CfB fantasy adventure game puzzle with The Lands Remaining, I can’t help but think how much this is going to piss off a certain type of trad gamer. They’re going to hate it and howl about it every chance they get.

And that’s how I’ll know I’m on the right track.
Hi @hannahellisgray.bsky.social! I’m co-host of the @3w6.bsky.social podcast about story focused ttrpgs and we’re planing a season on duet games. We would love to invite you to the podcast to talk about Radio Silence. Any chance we can make this happen? 😊

#Ttrpgs are potatoes, not carrots. There is no one true taproot origin story for any game, ttrpg or otherwise. Instead, all the nodes of experience & culture & family & etc etc go into whatever eventually springs forth. The interconnected web of all that came before contributes to whatever is "new."

Inspired by a chat with @heckmueller.bsky.social today, I’m getting *very close* to combat in The Lands Remaining. It’s the last big piece of the “Carved from Brindlewood fantasy game” puzzle.
That works, and I did that, but the UX is terrible…
I‘d already be happy if the app supported different size classes, which would allow the app window to resize to iPad and Mac window sizes. I mean, the effort to do this is really not that much, but I guess it’s a single guy maintaining the app… 🤷

Read books. Take walks. Hang out with your friends once or twice a week.

Maybe therapy, if you need a little extra help.

We have the power to shake off the shackles these ghouls want us in.

What's giving you hope today? What's pushing or puling or driving or carrying you onward?
All the people in my life mortified of the direction the world is heading in, worn thin and quickly running out of spoons, yet caring passionately about others nonetheless, building community as antidote to division, and being vulnerable instead of closing up. ❤️‍🔥
