I've had an early read of this game and it's honestly brilliant. I can't wait to run it and play it. Sign up to support their campaign!

I had the privilege to create this trailer for Blightfall. An awesome #ttrpg about mutated villagers trading their humanity for the power to defend their home.

It launches in 11 days, so go give it a follow!

Just recorded my first Wait, Roll That Again of the year!

This is my game design commentary/documentary podcast that I'm soft-rebooting to focus on other people's TTRPGs!

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

WYRM is here!

WYRM is my fantasy adventure game, and my take on the OSR/NSR style of play, with a Gila twist.

Get the core rules, starting adventure, starter sandbox hexcrawl today.

All PWYW.

My new favorite game is trying to explain to my partner, who has zero interest in TTRPGs, what the online TTRPG space is currently having a heated discussion about.

Because I work from home, it's fulfilling my needs of work place gossip.

Last chance to tell us about your Zine Month project if you're interested in being featured in our February series on Talk of the Table.

No game too small! Tell us about the cool stuff you're working on and we'd love to help highlight it!

Acronyms are a mistake.

"I got into the OSE SRD after the 3E OGL debacle. What are the main differences with HP? Is AC descending or ascending?"

They have played us for absolute fools.

Local board game/ttrpg shop that also sells homemade soups.

Call it "Soups & Ladders".

It took me way too long in life to realize that Potato & Leak is a top tier soup!

Especially if you bake some fresh bread to go with it!

New review day!

This time a look at Rillem by @zigorously.bsky.social and published by @plusoneexp.bsky.social

It's an atmospheric solo journaling/map-making game that aims to to capture the feel of 90s adventure games like Myst and Riven.

So I'm very very very late to the party. But Star Trek: TNG is a pretty good time.

Only a couple episodes in and I've been told im not even at the "good" stuff yet!

When I launched Stoneburner I had around 400-500 signups on Kickstarter and the project raised almost 45K during its campaign.

Very happy to see Chronicles is at 860+ signsups on Backerkit, this project is very special to me.

Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall.

Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.
