I know I have at least a few FitD fans following me!
This bundle has some excellent FitD #ttrpg stuff in it including ACTION POTENTIAL which I was lucky enough to be in one of the playtests for, investigating mine safety while (for resdons) sleeved into a xenomorph outfit. Was doing cool two-part character sheets before it was popular, too.

I have a couple of things I'm determined to finish up (like the updated Search for Sasquatch with player aides, for example), but I'm already toying around with ideas for a Holiday game :)
If I get it done in time, I'll include it in a special holiday bundle for you all!

Oooh the ebb and flow of creativity!
My mind is in full-blown CREATE mode and wants nothing to do with FINISH. I have quite a few ideas now and little drive to finish what I'm already working on.
Time to buckle down, get it done! That way we have time for fun!

The holiday season can get really busy, so this sounds like the perfect game to pick up and play!
I made a TTRPG about a holiday train!
Explore each train car to see what new space-time defying mischief awaits for some quick, zero prep, system agnostic fun for the holidays.

Next week I should be able to publish the new scoring for Search for Sasquatch and work on some player aides for it.
Also going to try to work out a way to make the battle mechanics worth for the mech game!
Now I just need my brain to relax on yet another game idea I'm excited to start on x)

Does anyone know any good roll/flip and draw games that 6yos might like? Like a roll and write, except you draw instead?
I was watching a top 10 video and MiniNewt walked in while they were going over Cartographers. She got super excited over the idea of drawing as part of a game.

Sidenote: I'm taking some quick notes for a new game that I hope I'll be able to decipher later when I'm actually able to work on it.

Hey folks, I'm still going to do those reviews for the games in the Folklore Jam 2025. MiniNewt's been pretty sick though so it's been hard to give the games the focus they deserve.
Good news is she's on the mend, so I should be able to get to them soon.

Added a full page version to the Drake in a Pouch game page, printed out the Tea Harvest game boards so I can cut out the components and toy around with them for a multiplayer version, and updated the Search for Sasquatch rules to test them out with my game group tomorrow!
Not bad for a Friday!

Have to wait to playtest the latest tweaks to Search for Sasquatch. In the meantime, I can't decide what I want to work on next 😶🌫️ Anyone else dealing with choice paralysis for game work?

Spent the last few days working hard on a different game x3 I got so excited over it that I couldn't help myself!
It's not complete yet, but I think the hardest part is over - the roll tables ;)

As a fan of John Wick and this amazing creator, you know I had to grab this up x)
Someone made John Wick themed hack of Boundless (my free D6-based soulslike OSR tabletop rpg) and it looks amazing.
Their mission generator is on point and they used the Boundless Pool as a way to track ammos in weapons which is great.
And, their game is free!

This is just a friendly reminder that a kind and honest compliment about a game creator's game costs just a bit of time, but can work wonders to help us.
It's a labor of love with - for the majority - very little money to show for it. So thank you to everyone who's helped with honest joy.
