The #QueerLoveBundle now has more games! Meander or dash wildly over to @drivethrurpg.com for #TTRPGs and #larp that give voice to queer love and intimacy, and make sparks fly!

Any latin fluent folks out there? How would you translate "Manducare casus mirum" ?

The triumphant return of Twofoot, Queen of the Redstone Goblins, as she crashes the gates doing 98 (hit points of damage), and bellows "Let those Trotters Roll!" Just one of the many colorful NPC's in our upcoming #5e Kickstarter. Follow us ~ and pledge undying fealty to Queen Twofoot, of course.

Here's a little teaser on something we've been cooking up for a while now, that will be a real tasty treat for you #ttrpg #5e #dnd players out there.. If you're a fan of comfort, curiosity, or chaos, you'll find something to sink your teeth into in our largest project yet. More soon, stay tuned!

@thirdfloortheatre.bsky.social run some really great live plays. Their run of the #PublicAccess rpg was extremely helpful in seeing how such a shared narrative vibe-centric game could still be grounded and engaging. Keep trying to find more free time to watch their Trail of Cthulhu series too.

This goopy little cutie needs a name..

This new Resistance Bundle has been EXTENDED! Nine days are left to support this Resistance offer's designated charity, the Center for Constitutional Rights. $12.95 will get you all five complete games in our Starter Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free ebooks! #TTRPGs #RPGs

So many amazing projects in the works this year! Love the new approach to a deeply under-served part of #TTRPG worlds. I'm already imagining running an honorary Ursala LeGuin RPG in this!

WE ARE LIVE!!!!!!!! 🚀🐻🔥 #zinequest #zimo #zinemonth #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #letsroll #glitchtherich

We need your voices! We know its the fans of this game that will help it become a another successful launch for the Secret World TTRPG. When you share on socials and get the word out small companies can do big things. Share the link and see you on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

The @bundleofholding.com's timely new bundle — called PUNCH NAZIS! — features a bunch of excellent anti-authoritarian TTRPGs. Plus, a portion of the money made goes to the Center for Constitutional Rights. bundleofholding.com/presents/Res...

"Hearthweaver Wizard" - Often called hedge or homely wizards, follow a lesser known practice specializing in non-verbal physical magic, found in such things as the weave of knots, layers of stones, or twist of roots. #ttrpg #dnd5e

Very much here for the staff of IKEA inventing fake board games for their room display

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...

Struggling with shared narratives? Us too. This storytelling device is sold as the #TTRPG panacea, more powerful that a plastic polyhedron. Able to leap plot holes faster than a red herring shot from Chekov's Gun.. Here's tips on how to bring context to chaos. hackshackgames.com/struggling-w...

Dreamt last night of being at a Gamma World convention. Everyone was in costume, many of them augmented, some practically full exosuits. An area was built with displays of "the past" (current age) like History Museum dioramas and were beautifully wrong. There should be a Gamma World convention..

Just noticed that Coyote & Crow is up as Pay What You Want now over on @drivethrurpg.com. I already have it but sharing the info in case anyone else wants to give it a look. #ttrpg www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

A great summary of articles on indie rpgs here!

Another fun RPG to check out in the upcoming year. Your adventuring days are behind you, but that doesn't mean your adventures end.. Spice up your campaign with more savory tales, as you carve a new livelihood from the dangerous boiling cauldron of running a fantasy tavern!

‪ 📝Call for #Pathfinder2e editors! We have created 10 spooky themed adventures for a #PathfinderInfinite project ready for editing! If you are interested in editing, PM a screen shot of a few writing samples! More info below!🧭 #TTRPG #Pathfinder #PF2e #TTRPGGameDesign #Editors #TTRPGEditors

Definitely one of the top #ttrpg games I'm looking forward to in 2025. Fallen London derives from an online web-based interactive narrative game that's been running since 2009. It's world and stories are immense, rich, and incredibly full of sharp witted gothic horror & humor. So many bats..

Think a #TTRPG is overpriced? It's not! 🎲 These games offer endless hours of fun and indie creators often work for less than they deserve—some even offer free/PWYW content! 💡 Learn why TTRPGs are a steal and how to support creators, even without spending. 📝 d6.bearblog.dev/are-tabletop...

Some ramblings about the House Rules in the hybrid #MonsterOfTheWeek and #PublicAccess #ttrpg campaign that I've been running for my OG gaming gang. All in all the mix of rules has gone really well, neatly covering areas of each that our crew felt we needed. hackshackgames.com/merging-mons...

Definitely going to have to give #Daggerheart a full campaign's worth of play once the final rules are out. Really feels like it hits a sweet spot between rules light narrative, while still having enough crunch and options for more mechanical game-forward players to hook into.

Starting off 2025 with a fresh new blog. Hoping it'll help stay more engaged, instead of sinking into the day job and project trenches for years at a time.. 1st post is a summary of my group's experience merging Monster of the Week with Public Access. hackshackgames.com/merging-mons...

PODCAST: Rascal finally understands the reason for the season

Year end #TTRPG time. Highlight of the year is running a hybrid Monster of the Week & Public Access (by @jasoncordova.bsky.social) game for my Gen-X OG friends. Public Access is great for anyone who fondly remembers the glorious horrors of broadcast analog 4:3 aspect ratio, highly recommend.

RPG tip from the archive: Don't judge your games by what you see on the net. Learn from them but remember, you're doing great. #dnd #ttrpg

40% OFF ALL DECEMBER! Everything in our small-n-scrappy shop is on sale for the entire month! Pick up our 80pg Holiday Horror Comedy Mashup, The Year Without a Cinderclaws, our classic intro adventure The Weathered Well, or any of our other goodies! #TTRPG www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Heh, love the premise behind this. Turning an xmas classic into horror merely by asking "What if the song was literal?" Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, you gave it away...

Just posted an updated version of our big holiday adventure, The Year Without a Cinderclaws. The updated version includes new art, mechanics polish, and a much expanded VTT bundle with battlemaps for each area, tokens and themed token rings, and a new set of chase cards for the grand finale! #ttrpg

Feels great to be back in layout on a new project! Yes, it's tried and true #5e style and content, but I just love that #TTRPG comfort food.

Which publishers sold their first products this year on DriveThruRPG and who had a good year? Will this list be big names finally listing on DTRPG or new talent to watch in 2024? www.geeknative.com/163683/the-b... . .. #ttrpg #indierpg
