I've got my first "proper" solo game - Caught in the Rain by @ravensridgeco.bsky.social arriving soon. Looking forward to it.

I'm keen to have a few more goes at solo games over the near future, so keenly following to learn more :)
Hey want to become a player everyone wants to play with? Maybe try out a few Solo RPGs?

Sounds counter productive but solo RPGs help you build skills that can make you the player people want at their table.

Super excited.

The incredible @juanochoa.bsky.social is the artist and has made the perfect set of illustrations for it. Thank you Juan.

Ok #ttrpg question for business nerds.

Why won't / wouldn't WotC invest into other TTRPGs / systems?

In that they keep their flagship product of course, but grow in more directions with other properties in other systems?

What's stopping them?

Go Play Brisbane is all wrapped up for another year!

Thanks @perilplanet.bsky.social @tinstargames.bsky.social for making the trek up north from NSW. We loved having you.

We've had a great time with an estimated 200 people playing #ttrpg and board games with us over the course of the weekend.

Here is a quick video of the creators' row out by the beautiful Brisbane River.

The main #TTRPG area is inside, with 14 tables running sessions all weekend!

You might catch sight of @tinstargames.bsky.social there as I rush past!

Last private playtest of Oppian Wives #ttrpg ahead of public games at Go Play.

Drawing on Drama System and Belonging Outside Belonging (and its roots in PbtA) where the women of Rome explore, exploit, and ally with each other to achieve their ends.

Their agents (men) do the dirty work for them.
