UP NEXT ON GAME MASTER MONDAY PRESENTS! We play THE CITY I LOVE, IT SPEAKS TO ME! A noir TTRPG about a bustling city and the detectives who love it A 3 part miniseries featuring two solo adventures, culminating in a grand team up in the final episode! Coming to Twitch May 7th-May 21st at 8pm ET!

The City I Love, it speaks to me has been released! It’s noir. It’s erotic. It’s sad. It’s build on caltrop core by @titanomachyrpg.com. I hope you enjoy. jellyfishlines.itch.io/the-city-i-l...

Given the chaotic tariffs, I want to emphasize something: Crowdfunding is going to be more important than ever. Big-name publishers understand this, and they'll be taking up that space vital for indie devs+pubs to succeed. If you need a platform, please reach out to us. #ttrpg #ttrpgdev

This was my first ever protest, and what a fucking start. I feel immensely energized and refocused, and coming home to see the world shocked at our numbers has made me SO proud. I need to do this shit more often.

As someone who constantly asks myself 'do I really deserve to apply for a grant like this', I need to give a big thank you to Ken Lowery for doing everything in their power to squash that trepidation. Please apply if you're on the fence and qualify. You deserve it. #ttrpg #ttrpgdev

With sincere kindness, if I'm complaining about my manager's behavior and your response is 'what they're doing is illegal', that's not helpful. I know it's illegal. They know it's illegal. I love you, but all you're saying is that you've never worked American retail before. Everyone knows.

We've gotten SO MANY amazing submissions already. I wasn't expecting to become such a big fan of so many different rad people so quickly, but I'm so giddy!!

I deserve a world where Japanese-themed TTRPG books are at least in part written by people of Japanese descent, as opposed to the book appropriating the works of one of the greatest Japanese storytellers of our lifetimes getting published on the dragon game's official platform.

This is 100% the thing I'm most excited about with Diversity Saves rn. If you're working on something and you're in or nearing a spot where you'd like to show it off, please sign up with our contact form! I love seeing what y'all are up to.

For our first Community Showcase, host Nekola is sitting down with the cast of BaddieBards live on Twitch on March 29th at 5:30pm PST! This is your chance to get to know Alix, Bluu, Sateen, and Aepel and ask them your questions.

We are very excited to launch our new Twitch series, Community Showcase, featuring new and ongoing projects across the community. Whether you have a podcast, are a game creator, artist, or anything in between, we want to feature you! diversitysaves.org/c...

Hi! If you are an Autistic TTRPG performer (yes self diagnosis is valid) and want to do a charity stream in April for Artists, please comment or DM me!

They won't stop with him.

I think it is unfortunately a wrap for us. We are four months behind on rent with an unbelievable 50$ a day late fee piled on top and no way to get another place due to terrible credit that resulted from our previous eviction. My wife is still struggling to get work and no where is accepting her.

White marginalized people of the world, don't downplay your oppression. You don't need to allow your crucifixion, you don't need to be a martyr, you don't need to prove that you're one of the reasonable ones. Stand up for yourselves with the rest of us. Get angry, get loud, get mobilized.

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

All well and good to tell people to get off Kickstater, Substack, et al. But they're not all Twitter with a Bluesky for a viable audience. Crowdfundr campaigns get a fraction of Kickstarter backing. Ghost and Beehiiv blogs get next to no subs. IF YOU WANT FOLKS TO SWITCH, YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM.

The Trump administration invoked an obscure statute over the weekend in moving to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent legal resident of the U.S. who recently graduated from Columbia University, where he helped lead campus protests against high civilian casualties in Gaza. Here’s what to know.

In Stars and Time is fucking amazing and y'all should give it a look btw

Occultpunk has a metacurrency the GM can spend to make things harder, but I'm always cautious of GM metacurrencies. Often they enable what GMs already do on their own. I'll see how I feel about it in playtesting. What are some good GM metacurrency systems? Daggerheart's seems neat. #ttrpgdev

Being a creative is being like fuck yeah we deserve to be paid more!! Oh but I could never charge so much for my work. My work? Have you seen my work? Not worth that amount. Just give it away for free honestly.

Come check out Vesta Mandate, a sci-fi political thriller TTRPG made with @chkurk.bsky.social and art from @tonytranrpg.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

I've been seeing so many board game and TTRPG devs dreading this. If you're like me, eternally skeptical, wondering what the real motive is, I need to assure you: developers are the last people who want this. Board game devs especially are really panicking at the thought of charging so much.

🔮 this is called genocide btw we don’t need to mince words

Ender Magnolia is one of the best sequels I've played in a long time. This game is absolutely stunning. Piecing together its narrative was a treat, and its gameplay is an incredible improvement over Ender Lilies. The setting, the characters, the customizable difficulty, I loved nearly all of it. 🎮

I'm open to #sensitivityconsultation and #editing work. I can help with topics like emotional and physical abuse, discrimination, and mental health issues. If you're an interested but struggling marginalized creative, DM me. I want to help you out however I can. #ttrpg #gamedev #author
