To my ttrpg friends. I need a mailing list service that does the next: Users can subscribe for updates on the general mailing list but can also choose to be part of Mailing list for X or Y project only. So that they can be segmented and if they don't like 5e they only get indie and viceversa

I find it interesting that in other places people associate brutalism with boredom, dryness, and oppression. Meanwhile, I like it because my high school and university were built in a brutalist style. Picture fo the Faculty of Science Tlahuizcalpan building where i used to play RPGs and Magic.

Here we GOOOO www.kickstarter.com/projects/axo...

Our new campaign has just launched Xeno is a minimalist ttrpg where you are the monster. Inspired by Carrion, Alien, x-com. If you want a game to play as the monster, tear through human facilities and serve an enigmatic AI check out this game by @caligaes.itch.io bit.ly/xenoaxo #ttrpg #kickstarter

The demons in XENO are inspired by Mayan myths and legends. On the left we have an Alux, on the right a Dzundzuncan. Both from the hand of @raulelghoul.bsky.social

Yes, this feel too real.

Navathem's End out in the world!!! <3 It looks so good. Thank you again @axostories.bsky.social !!

Part of my job is writing Art Briefs for the art in the books. I usually include several pictures as a reference for key points of the art. I hate that AI has contaminated nearly every source of reference images, making them useless for briefs when you are using keywords for the Moodboard

Xeno is a minimalist rpg. Is an awesome game coming in brochure form next year.

Open store and with discount

I decided to open the Shopify store to do some QA, so I removed the password and made it public for 10 minutes, and somehow got a sale in those 10 minutes. I mean, I am not complaining, but I now need to send the PDF to that person before the book because that was what I was testing.

hi! I'm Coba/Vani/Cobita and I'm very introverted so posting my stuff in social media proof to be a challenge but here I am trying anyways! 🐸

Todays writing is supervised by Benito

I second this, I already passed along some other mexican friends but the intermix between history of Science and horror can be an interesting point to write especially from regions where science was used to justify colonization

Me finding this after cutting off a 2 chapters from my mesoamerican fantasy novel since they clashed with the high fantasy style. Now I can repurpose the chapter as its own horror story which better fits the tone. Never fully delete any chapter it can always be repurposed.

To my writer friends, If you could do a retelling of anything, what would it be? I always wanted to do a retelling of classic mesoamerican myths in a manner more appealing to modern audiences, and not just direct translations that sometimes miss the mark

Gamers! DriveThruRPG.com put together a package of amazing TTRPG PDFs to raise money for James, the young son of my friend Amber Cook (who passed away last month). It includes a copy of my Brave New World supers RPG, plus many other great games.

One of our games coming early next year. If you like brochure based, minimalistic rpgs you should check it out. Our goal is to deliver a box similar to CBR+PNK

I also put together a starter pack for Indie #TTRPG artists and graphic designers! Know of anyone I should include? All recommendations welcome! (even yourself ❤️) go.bsky.app/NMp1acj

I think worldbuilding can be important in the narrative if you consider its implications and how it fits the story you want to tell. My favorite example is what happens in a world with giant spiders/scorpions/arachnids 1/

If anyone want to stream any of our current or upcoming games we are more than happy to send free copies. Also if you want our games but can't buy them for any reason, I can provide free digital copies.
