🎉📣 #TTRPG #ARTIST Starter Pack has crossed 100 users! 📣🎉 Let's fill this bad boi out with an #ArtShare! Calling all TTRPG Artists! 🦖 Show me what you got! 🦖 Like, share and encourage fellow artists! 🦖 All TTRPG Artists welcome! Let's fill this pack up! (&& Maybe I'll start another 👀) 🚫 NO AI 🚫

I think there is a more pertinent question: "How is damage/stress/injury fictionally represented in the game?" Does taking damage from a goblin stabbing you represent the wearing down of your stamina/luck? Or is it just being stabbed in your meaty bits?

More Heart #TTRPG stuff incoming. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

It made SO MUCH SENSE for the second version of the LUMEN system to get rid of dice entirely. @gilarpgs.bsky.social found how to make his system 100% better. He found the core of the game. Interview incoming: www.youtube.com/@farirpgs

If you're an indie #TTRPG designer or publisher, my new video series is for you! I'm diving into the Affinity suite and how I use it to produce professional TTRPG print products, starting with the basics and covering every step of the process! Check out episode 1: youtu.be/jC9Q_is5um4...

I get a lot of #ttrpg books. Like...too many. I've been thinking about doing short form YouTube first impression review videos. Maybe 5 - 10 minutes apiece. I really need to justify all of these games I don't have time to play. 😅

You look like you need more YouTube channels run by cool #ttrpg creators. Especially ones with support for Affinity Publisher. @farirpgs.com youtube.com/@farirpgs?si...

Rewrite the roles of women in fairytales, myth & folklore! Through game-play mechanics like Defiance Rolls and collecting Empowerments, the players in Virgins & Vixens can break out of these constraints and rewrite the tale of their character! #ttrpg goldenlassogames.com...

Shepherds is a simple yet robust zombie apocalypse / map making game. You can get a campaign started in minutes. It's made for Breathless, but can be easily used for any number of systems. PWYW (psst, that means free). #BreathlessJam2 #ttrpg #horror coffeeallnight.itch.io/shepherds

Show me how you draw armor

It's a WRAP! Thank you so much @gilarpgs.bsky.social , talking with you was incredible. Also, you can see from my face below that I'm totally in love with what Spencer has to say about TTRPGs. The idea of injecting a bit of LUMEN into Breathless was one of my favorite topics of this interview.

Today we celebrate the birthday of James M. Ward, born today in 1951. An American game designer and fantasy author, he worked for TSR, Inc. for more than 20 years, most notably on the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. #JamesMWard

oh my god this looks so good I need to play with this. This feels like a missing part of Breathless once the players get OUT of the city. wow

I made a little trifold pamphlet for the #BreathlessJam2 . It's a whole campaign frame in a single pamphlet. You're a Shepherd. You get people and things safely to where they need to go through the zombie post apocalypse. coffeeallnight.itch.io/shepherds

#ttrpg designers, you'll want to tune in for this one. RP is an unsung hero in the field.

The thrilling conclusion to the Cyberrats trilogy! Get on it!

Cover reveal!

Class, please open your Cyberrats: Rise of the Briny Bastards textbooks to page 130.

I’m not good at art. But I’m trying to learn so I can add non-AI images into my #dnd games. And with learning comes practice. And more practice. To keep myself honest, to document my progress and show that anyone can do this, I’m going to post some of my creations! Here is a homebrew creature…

I actually got to play this at PAX East. It is legit good. Give it a follow and check it out! Tell 'em Coffee All Night sent you (they will likely be confused at this, I don't think they know who I am).

Working on a horror #ttrpg system that grinds down the characters through play. Needs a good title. Got it! Grinder. It's testing really well with closeted dads for some reason.

43 hours left and that means I reveal another dead god

If you got a copy of The Winter Door from me at #paxeast shoot me a message and I'll get you the pdf.

Why didn't any of you tell me how good Mazes is? Shame. Shame on all of you.

@magicmissile.bsky.social Holy shit! Mazes is really fucking good. Mechanically clever and brilliantly written. My hat is off to you.
