Chuds may want to pretend they own the hobby, but they're not the ones getting published in White Dwarf.

I never thought I needed a tractor, but today I’m thinking about it.

If anything more exciting than this happens today, my heart will probably explode. #shadowdark #arcanelibrary www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...

I am going to #GaryCon! I'm thrilled with the games I managed to get into – 2 x Shadowdark, 2 x DCC, 1 x MCC, 1 x Dragonbane, and even an Ars Magica. It's gonna be a packed 4 days, gonna learn a lot – heck yeah!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

A #D&D themed, Edmonton based punk band called Vargouille's lead singer kicked a nazi in the chest at a show when they started seig heil saluting in the front row. The video was pulled from TikTok, but good deeds deserve to be rewarded. Give them a follow. #TTRPG open.spotify.com/artist/1ZkgT...

Can’t wait for this to make its way to my doorstep. Even the doorstep is excited!

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

“Without joy, we wither” is my new mantra for tough times

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

If you’re a trans artist, please know that your voice is urgent and necessary. Your art is worth something, your perspective is worth something, you are worth something. This is especially true if you’re Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, disabled, undocumented, and/or poor. Keep creating.

This was a harrowing experience, but one I absolutely needed. Games are art. Games show the world as it is, as it could be, back to us. I made this article public because it felt incredibly important to me that people read it.

The Chronicles of Prydain has such a good set up for a campaign structure. In the first book, the hero Taran lives in Caer Dalben, a farm run by Coll and the wizard Dalben. As he adventures, both allies and defeated foes move to Caer Dalben, establishing a stable of characters to draw from.

Dinosaurs? Both DCC and Shadowdark?! Aw, hell, I just can’t resist!!

Basic D&D is a game about playing a novice burglar like a cautious career criminal who cares deeply about their own safety. Blades in the Dark is a game about playing a career criminal like a reckless novice burglar who has no regard for their own safety.

Since people are once again interested in figuring out what is and is not fascism, here's Daphne Patai on the subject.

Small steps to achieve big things. Every year I get this done.

This is fun!

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Truth!!!

Did you know that Solo TTRPGs are incredibly diverse? Whatever your tastes in games, you've got options. This is the golden age of solo roleplaying experiences! I've been thinking about how to break down the various categories of solo-able RPGs, and here's my attempt... 🧵

We took our Twitter account and beheaded it with a sword massive and heavy, like a heap of raw iron. If you ever see us there, it ain’t us.

Just backed this one. I'm ready to become both Glum and dark! www.kickstarter.com/projects/exa...

One day this pic by @flopscomics.bsky.social of the final battle between the Emperor & Horus done like the cover to an old comic will get the twelfty million likes it deserves on here, but until that day I'll just have to repost it every few months. #warhammer #warhammer40k #HorusHeresy

Let’s go! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/d...

I mean, I hate to get all political, but ... www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wel...

Community is more important than ever right now. Of course, in terms of mutual aid, but also in terms of joy. #TTRPGs are a *great* way to do this. By design, most are communal storytelling. Find a system you love & get a group together either online or in meat space. Engage in acts of radical joy.

The Chaos Protocol is a story about grief. It is also a story about revolution, and vengeance, and rage, and catharsis, and growth, and love — told by an all-trans, majority-POC table. Hope is a discipline. Hope is necessary to tell stories. Watch us remake the world every Saturday at 8pm ET. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Today feels like a good day to make the two most unabashedly queer things we've ever published—Codex Glamour and Codex Glamour 2—permanently Pay What You Want on DriveThruRPG. We'll get through this together, folks. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

We love Loot the Body! Not just the act performed by murder hobos in your own game, but the band that has contributed to several Goodman Games projects with their fantastic music. Read more: goodman-games.com/blog/2025/01... #DCCRPG

Bloody strong start ain't it?

Howard Andrew Jones passed away on Thursday, January 16, 2025. "Howard was a wonderful man and a good friend. He had a rare spirit that threw off sparks of joy for anyone who loved books as he did." Read more: goodman-games.com/blog/2025/01...

Got my badge. Can’t wait!

Here’s a list of Bluesky ttrpg accounts that aren’t DnD and that are loud as hell. Give them a follow.

This looks great!

What if… The Monster Overhaul, but for Mörk Borg?!?? I might get to work on that.

Today’s spicy 🌶️ #ttrpg take is that telling indie designers to compete with Hasbro is a bit like expecting indie cinema to outsell a marvel movie Indie gaming is for newcomers, amateurs & experiments. They should be focusing on making weird niche experiences. Not generating mass-market appeal.

Hey there, #PortfolioDay My name is Marie Enger. I'm a cartoonist and commercial illustrator. My work might make you feel uneasy. Don't worry. You'll be okay. I'm available for hire if the compensation is fair, the conditions humane, and our vision aligns. See you soon. soengery.com

Someone made a Dungeon Crawl Classics playlist and it fucking rips open.spotify.com/playlist/3Bq...

I’d like to see more videos of people playing TTRPGs to show off the game rules so that you can see what they actually look like at the table. I love actual plays for the stories and casts playing quirky PCs etc but some of them are terrible at conveying rules context.

Everything Peter Mullen does is pure amaze-balls.

Sprucing up some minis from the Dark Tower board game. Hoping to play this week.
