I didn't know Ludic Pen was based out of Venezuela. Ancient Wonders is one of my favorite space game supplements of all time, and you all know how I am with my space TTRPGs.

I chatted with @ludicpen.bsky.social on making games in Venezuela amidst the conflict, and their long term plans. More than ever, creating art - creating anything - is a form of resistance these days.

Grateful to @rascal.news for the thoughtful interview and for shining a light on the work we’re doing at Ludic Pen.

Creating under challenging conditions is a commitment we’re proud of, and it means a lot to share that story.

Thanks for the space, the interest, and the kindness.

Hi everyone

I want to take a moment to talk about two people I work with and care about deeply.

Ludic Pen exists because of collaboration, trust, and shared enthusiasm for creating things together. But this project started thanks to Samuel Rondón.

Wishing the best for Samuel and Emilio at Ludic Pen, both of whom live in Venezuela. They have created and contributed to several Ironsworn-related works. In particular, check out the Ancient Wonders supplement! It's amazing.

Quick update:
Earlier we mentioned the discounts would arrive this weekend, but the forge has heated up faster than expected, and we’d rather give you access to everything now instead of making you wait.
So… Black Forge Week begins today!

New #ttrpg book day again! Already. Arrived today: Ancient Wonders by @ludicpen.bsky.social - a 3rd party expansion for #ironsworn Starforged.

I accidentally ordered a softcover print instead of hardback... Lesson learned.

First impression: It’s massive! I'm learning about ecopoiesis.
