Hi friends! If you are looking for a great therapist/educator conference all about using games in your practice, look no further than the Game-Based Therapy & Education Conference happening within #OriginsGameFair Message me for info or check out this link: www.ttrpgkids.com/2025/05/15/g...

I really don’t want to give wiz more money, but Final Fantasy? Come on. That’s not playing fair.

👀 Not a mockup.

This will be fun :) I’ve been looking forward to it for several weeks now!

Tonight on Leftovers! We’re talking with @adepticarus.com, Purveyor of colloborative World Building games and Solo Games!! www.youtube.com/live/OvBA2Cj...

Last chance to sign up for tomorrow night’s Playtest Fest! forms.gle/H4cyc54xnUYX...

Had a great meeting with Alan today wherein we discussed a great many things, including MULTIPLE potential new games in the cyan starlight universe. That all.

What an absolute delight to sit and chat with these wonderful TTRPG folks! I’m so excited for you all to see this panel when it goes live. If you’re interested in crowdfunding, you won’t want to miss it. Thank you again to @adepticarus.com and @igdn-official.bsky.social for including me!

Last night I was part of a panel recording for the @igdn-official.bsky.social Summer Series. Got to talk with @lynnemeyer.bsky.social @marimurdock.bsky.social Crystal Mazur and Jacob Wood about getting started with crowdfunding #ttrpg projects. What a great group of smart folks! Coming soon!

Still learning and improving my layout design chops (with helpful feedback from friends who are much better), so here’s a before and after of Rue From Ruin. The amazing illustration remains the same by @deeplydapper.bsky.social

For the evening crowd: Join our Playtest Fest!

You love making ttrpg characters? Adept Icarus is holding our first ever "Playtest Fest" next Wednesday, where we'll walk folks through character creation for Obelisk: Realms In Peril (it uses tarot cards in a really cool and thematic way to make characters). Sign up: forms.gle/EtMeeYSMwszR...

If you think you know what’s in Arium: Evolve, I think you’re in for a surprise.

Name 3 reasons folks may dislike your fave ttrpg: Pendragon 1) Rolling under with a D20? But what about my perfectly trained dice?? 2) You don’t do magic, it’s done to you. This may result in tears. 3) Do gamers really need another excuse to quote Monty Python?

Tabletop Bookshelf is looking for professional writers to contribute sponsored reviews of tabletop RPGs and solo games from our shop collection. Interested? Complete the application form below - spaces are limited! forms.gle/ivRtRGQjZdqv...

The knight is dork and fool of tear roars.

Am I making a mistake by not including the game designer name on the cover of (most) Adept Icarus titles?

I actually worked a short stint at a hotel/casino in Nevada in a former life. It wasn’t a *fantastic* job, but it still shapes some of my thinking. Funny.

Keno.

Finally headed home!

Best Star Trek crew wrong answers only.

Why do I think in dad jokes?
