A session of Corsairs tonight. My game of sky ships and floating islands. Some unexpected successes with the canons and the Alderil Empire is down a frigate, and suddenly well aware of the name of a certain ship that might have otherwise sailed under the metaphoric radar... Great fun!

Less than 48 hours to back 'Growing Thylacine' A no-prep, shared narration game across five evocative scenes crowdfunding for ZineMonth / ZineQuest. Collectively play a once-extinct creature dreaming about ex-life, then escape the cloning lab! Risograph printed in green and gold ink.

Session one of Torchbearer tonight - as a player. Any game that requires three books all of which are more than 200 pages is at least two books and a hundred pages more than any game needs to be. That amount of reading is utterly absurd. Seems like a technical but interesting system though.

Paths Less Travelled has been added to the DriveThruRPG and Itch pages for With Every Fibre. 8 Adventure seeds and 4 new adversaries all inspired by Great Sword level backers of the With Every Fibre Kickstarter!

The Caves Beneath Us funds in less than an hour! You can get the adventure and the rules for With Every Fibre here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/car...

Working through my advanced coaching course for gymnastics, and wow, it has been a lot. Good fun, interesting, and a great learning experience... but a lot!

I backed this, and you should too! Love Pidj's work, and this one looks great!

I was interviewed by Phil Reed for his Quest for Zines Kickstarter. I talk about games, design, experiences, and things I learned along the way, as well as my latest project: Behind the Wall... Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

TTRPG Crowdfunder Tracker! Some of you will know, I love admin. So I've made a simple little spreadsheet of upcoming TTRPG crowdfunders, which I'll keep adding to! Tracks who, type, platform and links! Want added? Let me know, strictly no GEN-AI. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hey everyone stumbling over this nascent little account. The Indie Vault is coming to Bluesky this year. Our mission is to review dozens, if not hundreds of indie #TTRPGs every year We'll be sifting through as many games as possible to find the best, the coolest, the weirdest and everything else.

Physical copies of With Every Fibre have landed at Caradoc Games HQ! They'll be in the mail to backers soon! youtube.com/shorts/K14sD...

Wow. I launched and ran the 'With Every Fibre' Kickstarter last year, and agonised over whether I should make a video for it before deciding I wasn't going to. Only to find out today (by actually looking in a folder I had called 'Video'), that I had already made one. youtu.be/RqBIJ3Ym_x4

Happy #ZineMonth / #ZiMo25! Are you working on a project? I want to hear about it. Use this as your soapbox.

8 days! This is a little booklet but a complete game experience. Bring it to the table, be wild and canny and nurturing and hungry, then escape. Have a great time doing it. If you have extinction feelings, feel them here, if not enjoy being a Thylacine with some friends. For ZineMonth / ZineQuest

Hey Bluesky. Need to make a little map? Here's a 4(ish) step way to do that with Affinity Designer. Using the node tool to make the town, the vector brush tool to draw 'roads', and the shape builder tool, to create little pockets in town you can color to highlight important areas. alt for details.

Behind the Wall, a fantasy adventure for With Every Fibre (or any fantasy TTRPG) is getting ready to launch for ZineQuest! In fact, it launches tomorrow! Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/car...

My ZineMonth / ZineQuest pre-launch page is live! Proper launch happening 11th of Feb. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...

For the first time in a long time I'm running a short campaign of my game of air ships and floating islands, Corsairs. It's been a blast to revisit the system and explore the world once again...

Played Red Cathedral today. Quite an interesting game. Sounds like a silly thing, but I like the complexity of the game compared to the box size and number of components.

Behind the Wall is a fantasy adventure for With Every Fibre, that can be used with any fantasy rules system. Explore a cave system beneath the city, and uncover the source of the eerie noise that is unsettling the folk of the Bellfounders District. www.kickstarter.com/projects/car...

One of the backer rewards for my rules-light fantasy RPG With Every Fibre is a series of adventure seeds based on the prompts from backers. I finished the cover illustration tonight.

Here is a very useful page if you are designing the assets for your itchio page: hedgiespresso.itch.io/itch-page-im...

Almost a year ago, I decided to do something about the lack of accessible design I was seeing in local flyers; I made The Accessible Design Survival Guide, a free zine with key info and guidelines on accessible graphic design. Share it w/ those who need it! incaseofgrace.itch.io/the-accessib...

Pidj makes great games, absolutely check this out!

It's official! Our game has been approved for #ZineQuest An expanded version of Teddies, packed in a physical zine!! Join the fluffy revolution today!! 🧸 #ttrpg #zine

Behind the Wall is coming to Kickstarter for #ZineQuest #ZiMo. At it's heart, Behind the Wall is a dungeon crawl, with characters exploring a cave system in the hope of finding the source of a eerie and frightening sound: the sound of some vast thing sleeping. www.kickstarter.com/projects/car...

Ran another session of Corsairs tonight - my game of squash buckling derring-do, sky ships, and floating islands. Before I started this campaign it had been years since I had played this game, and I am having a blast.

Great thread, good read. Well done!! 😂

I've played this prototype, and it is really good. Well worth checking out! I'd love to see it in print.
