After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

Another great time at #PAXU 2025. Saw friends, met new people, ran some fun games. Got a free copy of an rpg about kittens that apparently everyone is losing their minds over. Good times!

In lieu of a video - I have other exciting ones in the pipeline - I've written up my thoughts on Hub & Spoke Adventure Design, and the article will be out later this week.

All the announcements for Daggerheart this weekend have got me excited.

This has been an incredible #mörktober. It's been a blast exploring more of the Span with @andrewbeauman.com & @wuz.quest, creating incredible new art, fun rules, and thrilling lore for all the new Skavs.

Mörk Sol Kickstarter launches TOMORROW!!! 🚀🤯🔥

#mörktober Day 31 - Pumpkin

The Span’s take on the dullahan. Is it real? Or the ramblings of those who spent too much time outside their airlock?
#ttrpg #morkborg #artMörk
Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 31 - Pumpkin. Learn more at morksol.com. A figure shrouded in shadows and jet-black armor slides through a field of glowing orbs. A Jack o’ Lantern occupies the space where its head should be, and a wicked scythe is held overhead. Eldritch flames spell out “The Headless Raider” in nigh unreadable text. Lore: A ghost story from the edges of the brink. A lone rider, suit destroyed, aboard the fragments of a skip. It wields a blad of black flames, seeking a face to reflect its pain. HP give it a new head | Morale - | No Armor. Null-Fire Blade d12. Double damage against skips. If it slays a humanoid, it takes their head and retreats, satisfied for now.

✨TTRPG/D&D Question of the Day✨

How would your TTRPG character and their party be portrayed by an inaccurate acting troupe, a la the Ember Island Players from Avatar the Last Airbender?

Would they be turned into fools? Or maybe villains? Describe it!

You know what would level up your halloween (or ANY) #DnD/#TTRPG sesh? Rollable health potion props!

Need some help? I made you some free printable labels & modifier tokens to keep things easy 🧡

A corked small glass bottle with squared edges is marked by a simple, handwritten Potion of Healing label. Inside are translucent 4 sided dice and a +2 token. Surrounding the bottle are other dice, increasingly labels of stronger health potions, and empty bottles.

Paul is so goofy. He's all neckbeard and redneck accent, but he gets so engaged in what the other panelists are saying, lol

Gods, why did I have to be created by someone else's comic-relief NPC? 🤣

Still, pretty good panel. Check it out.

A screenshot from BackerKit with a series of plainly formatted quotes: "I thoroughly enjoyed running it." —Mark Della-Croce, Lore Link "I got to rob a store, fire a railgun, and died from blowing up my own bottle of gasoline. Would recommend." —Kamala Arroyo, Author, We Dig Giant Robots "Character creation was fast and went very smoothly. We went from two players never having opened the book to being completely ready in about an hour." —Bryon Kershaw, Spirits and Monsters of Old Seattle "I love the cyberpunk feel. It's definitely got that vibe." —Andrew Park, Looking For Mom "I love cyberpunk in principle, but have had several experiences that I did not enjoy specifically because it was overwhelming... With this, there's no question, it's pretty straightforward how to figure out your success. Love it." —Michael Dowden, Lore Link
