We are gearing up for a medieval horror TTRPG Kickstarter 💀Doomsong: Thou Shalt Not Suffer The Wycce 💀

It's Book II, and this time you're investigating miracles! Only your wyccefinders can figure out who's responsible...

The Cog That Remains, a Wretched & Alone solo game of a mecha mechanic trying to keep their machine intact and its pilot alive, is on sale to pay off its cover art (and maybe afford some more)! https://itch.io/s/140840/the-cog-that-remains-ashcan-and-itchfunding

Thank you, Ross! I have designed a simple and fast game system for playing sportsball with a standard deck of playing cards. My first implementation is for proper football. ⚽️

My friend Kenny and I run a podcast with a cult of the old bent: we only talk about games 5 years old or older, and we have a live show coming up at Salt Con this weekend!

We'd love to find more guests who share a passion for classics and anti-consumerist mindset!

The measure of this thread will be how many accounts I get to add to my boardgame list.

moregamesplease.bsky.social•2 days ago

My hope with these threads is always to help folks find new projects and community members they'd like to follow. Hopefully you find a few yourself.

speedrobo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hi there! I am the owner of Speedrobo games. We are a prolific indie table top games publisher. Our products have been graciously featured in my friend's game, TCG Card Shop Sim. Frankly, just ignore what I make and go play TCG Card Shop Sim. It's fantastic.

goodtimehat.bsky.social•2 days ago

We're launching our first game on Kickstarter later this year! It's a competitive spatial puzzle game with a verdant apocalypse setting.

I am very slowly learning to self-promote more 😅

rkapitany.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm launching a kickstarter at the end of the week. Hoping some folks might like the theme (and the mechanics) for a heist TTRPG. It's for one-shots, but the tables and structure mean it's basically limitless in replayability.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mindgamespodcast/the-last-job-youll-ever-need-a-heist-ttrpg

Hi, Ross. I design, develop, and playtest tabletop games with my sons: https://www.anarchygamestudio.com

I’m looking to work on co-designs with underrepresented designers to help increase diversity in the field. I have one such project in flight right now, but I’m looking to do more.

marcusraven.bsky.social•3 days ago

I create mods for TTS, specializing in unique mechanics and table presence. I do this as a hobby and offer it as a service for designers that want to make an interactive demo for their crowdfunding campaigns. Here's my portfolio website:
https://NevermoreStudiosTTS.com

marcusraven.bsky.social•3 days ago

A few of my mods that I did for the designers were American McGee's Out of the Woods (for playtesting during campaign), Trogdor (to assist with playtesting the expansion), and Blast Tactics. (Yeah, I helped preserve the cancelled Bomberman board game so it could find new life!)

aaronwilliamsaudio.com•2 days ago

I make scripted mods for tabletop simulator! They are great for Kickstarter campaigns to let people try your game before buying. I have worked with @leder.games, Alley Cat Games, and more recently @spielcraftgames.bsky.social. Usually just ask for a copy of the game as payment!

colethebug.bsky.social•2 days ago

ferretoftheforest.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm new to the game, but I'm working on being an entertainment media personality! I review, preview, and recommend media like games (digital & analog) and books. I'm heading into doing videos, and I love promoting projects and people that inspire me. My focus is more indie-based or new to me.

ferretoftheforest.bsky.social•2 days ago

I already have done several independent promotions of media on my Bluesky account by just sharing links and info, but I'd happily go more in-depth as a collaboration with creators/devs. My focus is cozy and romantic media, but my tastes are much broader, and I'm fine going outside of the box.

tastefullydone.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm a little late to the party, but I have a pay-what-you-want print-to-play game I published. It's a 2-player melee combat game that typically takes about 5 minutes to play.
