First time convention booth at Anime North! Catch me at booth #12 (Hall I, North Building) with my pals @atticus.haus and Matt Hird!

Just seven days left to clear our next stretch goals for @danielhkwan.itch.io's #osr game Wandering Blades! WanderingBlades.com

We sit down to chat with award-winning TTRPG designer and podcaster⁠ @danielhkwan.itch.io about his new game, Wandering Blades⁠! We talk wuxia genre fiction, representation, designing beautiful—yet deadly—combat, cinema, and more so make sure to tune in! #GameDesign #TTRPG #Podcast

Jeremy is a phenomenal writer and you are going to want an adventure from him for WANDERING BLADES! Get over there and back!

Less than $3000 until our next stretch goal! At $30K, @pixelgrotto.bsky.social of @threesailsstudios.bsky.social will be designing a new sandbox adventure for the Wandering Blades core rulebook! We’ve got ONE WEEK left! Let’s do this! wanderingblades.com

Always great catching up with ESP at cons! #PAXEast was no exception! Sharing the fastest moving titles at the show including the work of @dinoberrypress.bsky.social @asthebroflies.bsky.social @raffitheowl.bsky.social & @lyla.bsky.social before diving into @danielhkwan.itch.io’s WanderingBlades.com

It’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and we are incredibly excited to bring you a preview of @danielhkwan.itch.io’s new TTRPG Wandering Blades!: “lethal melodrama in an old school TTRPG” as facilitated by Tony of @plusoneexp.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥⚔️ youtu.be/hevaWGuiSeY?...

Last Hurrah For Chivalry had a big influence on Wandering Blades! From the art on the Criterion blu-ray to John Woo's action choreography and emphasis on youxia brotherhood! This episode of @johnwhopodcast.bsky.social will be available for general streaming tomorrow!

I've wanted to work with @pixelgrotto.bsky.social for a really long time. If we get the Wandering Blades campaign to $30K, Jeremy will be writing a wuxia adventure sandbox for the core rulebook complete with isometric and top-down maps! #osr #ttrpg #nsr ⚔️ wanderingblades.com

Daniel is my man and I got his back for this stretch goal! Looking forward to seeing that Wandering Blades funding number shoot real high

We've hit our second stretch goal for the Wandering Blades campaign! We're going to adding a lot more of @karagna.bsky.social's amazing art to the book! Our next stretch goal? A whole new adventure for the game by the legendary @pixelgrotto.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...

The folks who were offended by the @aznsrepresent.bsky.social review of Oriental Adventures are back at it. Apparently I’m not Chinese enough to design a wuxia TTRPG!

We are super close to hitting the 700 backer mark on the Wandering Blades Kickstarter campaign AND reaching our next stretch goal (more art from the talented @karagna.bsky.social)! wanderingblades.com

THE WORD IS OUT! The alt-right fascists and grogs at theRPGSite have checked out (or not in many situations) Wandering Blades and... THEY HATE IT! Couldn't be more proud to work with fellow #TTRPG Woke List Red creator @danielhkwan.itch.io to make this game a reality. WanderingBlades.com

LIVE ON KICKSTARTER: Galactic & Going Rogue, 2 GMless scifi #TTRPGs 🎲 in 1 book! 🚀 Galactic by @rileyrethal.bsky.social: Rebellion, Relationships, & War Among the Stars 🚀 Going Rogue by @jessfrom.online: Cynicism, Hope, & Making the Ultimate Sacrifice 🔗: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Great to see other great games getting featured across the TTRPG space! @danielhkwan.itch.io talked about Wandering Blades during the BreakoutCon RPG mechanics panel I moderated and it sounds SO cool. Also, re: @creationcast.net and Galactic & Going Rogue...let's just say keep your eyes peeled 👀

there's too many good podcasts about cool new PRGs at the moment @creationcast.net is talking Wandering Blades @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social is APing Galactic Going Rogue @bananachangames.bsky.social is talking about the very cool Delicious frame for Daggerheart need more time to listen & play!

If I were to make an anime about the development of Wandering Blades, it would be called "I LOVE MARTIAL ARTS FIGHT SCENES SO MUCH THAT I WANTED TO MAKE AN RPG ABOUT THEM"

It sucks that the ad partner we initially had was really bad. But it's inspiring that the success of the Wandering Blades campaign has primarily been driven by word of mouth and passionate community members!

Despite the flailing of a crummy ad partner, Wandering Blades from @danielhkwan.itch.io and @plusoneexp.bsky.social is almost to its next stretch goal. More art from Lim Li Wei! WanderingBlades.com

As seen at Dice on the Borderlands!

Woke up to the Wandering Blades campaign being less than $1,000 away from our next stretch goal!!!!!! 😍

Less that $1.5K to our next stretch goal AND we’ve just crossed 650 backers on Wandering Blades! Let’s go!!!! ⚔️ wanderingblades.com

Just over $1500 to go to get Wandering Blades (from @danielhkwan.itch.io and @plusoneexp.bsky.social in case you didn’t know) to the next stretch goal. wanderingblades.com

Early access to the next episode of No Dice, No Problem is now on Patreon! Fresh off a game of Warhammer 40K, @danielhkwan.itch.io & @drewquon.bsky.social discussed visiting historical sites for inspiration and how they'd imprison spellcasters in a fantasy universe! www.patreon.com/posts/no-dic...

We're less than $2,000 away from hitting our SECOND STRETCH GOAL for Wandering Blades! When we hit this goal, @karagna.bsky.social will be producing more of their incredible art for the core rulebook! #osr #nsr #ttrpg

Y'all... this week in crowdfunding has been filled with shocking twists and surprising distractions, but @danielhkwan.itch.io's work on this game continues to shine. Don't miss out on this! I'm incredibly proud to get to work with Daniel and @plusoneexp.bsky.social. WanderingBlades.com

We are now less than $3000 away from hitting our next stretch goal: additional art from the very talented @karagna.bsky.social! I mean, look at how awesome this piece is! Who wouldn't want more of this art?!

"Daniel Kwan said it is pretty cool" = TRUTH

@danielhkwan.itch.io and @plusoneexp.bsky.social are so close to the next stretch goal—more art from the incredible Lim Li Wei! Take a look at some of the work in Daniel's post below. wanderingblades.com

We've almost crossed the 600 backer mark AND are just over $3K away from unlocking our next stretch goal of additional art by @karagna.bsky.social!
