The #ttrpgcommunity is gonna charity bundle until the end of time. Here's a new one to support flood/storm relief for the people of Valencia, Spain, organized by @rolerosnorep.bsky.social! 771 items for just 5€. Games, adventures, supplements, assets, and more: itch.io/b/2858/amor-... #ttrpg #rpg

In some ways, ok, maybe all the ways, only @effinbirds.com was prepared for this era.

Soul Cemetery is a solo TTRPG about replaying a survival-horror game from your childhood only to find that it (and you) has changed. It's coming to backerkit in March in the form of a game case with the full original soundtrack inside. There's a link below to follow the project so go click that! ⏬⏬
