Very excited to share that I will be spending Free RPG Day 6/21 at The Sanctum Tabletop Gaming Emporium in Racine, WI. I'll be part of a panel on horror in gaming and then running a session of Bump! If you're in southeastern WI, I'd love to see you there!

Hellboy fan art

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of his artworks 🍃🌿

So I've just seen an article (I won't link to, to avoid spreading misinfo) saying I'm holding my next fantasy book hostage until I get a TTRPG deal for it, which is weirdly hilarious and somewhat arse about face as far as these things work.

PUNK MAGIC is a single player and multiplayer format I made for Magic the Gathering. Do gig work and fight the Wizards of the Citadel to make your own spells, augment cards in your collection, and build your own cube you can play with friends. notwriting.itch.io/punk-magic

Update on the States of Things - A Fistful of Darkness - The Companion [WIP] monkeyecho.itch.io/a-fistful-of... #afod #fitd #ttrpg

Very good as it turns out. The Deep Cuts changes for the Blades in the Dark sheet are live on Roll20. GMs can activate them for all (newly-created) character/crew/factions sheets in the game settings (outside of the launched game), and individual sheets can activate DC modules in the gear menu.

I finally reached 900 followers on itch.io. Next stop 1000?

THEME: Westerns (Weird & Otherwise) One of my first ttrpg recommendation posts that I put together was all about Westerns! Since then I've revisited the genre a couple of times. Here's a few games I'm excited about!

maybe I should switch my Riders of the Apocalypse to horsemen with carriages ... This looks awesome. #weirdwest www.darkerhuestudios.com/shop/miniatu...

Back in the cowboy zone for a short spell

Aw yes, we were just nominated for best role-playing game and best role-playing game adventure, for the UKGE awards! (Available from caesar.ink/shop) Congratulations also to @chaosium.bsky.social @montecookgames.com @ospreygames.bsky.social @modiphius.bsky.social !

When I say Tim is a master, I'm not blowing smoke, y'all.

Realise I have never drawn a scary/intimidating cowboy 🤔

There is no bigger incentive to write your game than your friends pushing you to so after almost 8 years. I *must* do it #ttrpg #design

Did Picasso tidy up his layers? I don't think so. Whatever works for your art ... it works. Don't let others tell you otherwise. #art #creativity #deliverthegods

Sketch with a little experiment with Batgirl (no one surprised🙂). Before I go to sleep. #mads_sketch #cassandracain #batgirl

In one month we're crowdfunding the print edition of Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts. Curious what's inside this official expansion for Blades? Get a taste with this free sampler available @drivethrurpg.com www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

My group and I are running a game of Fistful of Blades while still using the Doskval setting. Here is the wonderful character sheet of my Royston done up by the wonderful @cultcoconut.bsky.social

As good a time as any to repost the poster I painted for my Blades in the Dark crew

mE: I should work on the current ttrpg project also mE: let's start a new project 10 minutes later mE: let's do some music for another project 20 minutes later mE: hey, Iron Tails 2, last boss. Let's go! #ttrpg #creativity #afod

When writing ttrpgs I have only one vibe:

@olddog.games Look what arrived today! Greetings from Germany!

If you’re not following these indie game designers yet, you should. go.bsky.app/AV56FGp

I released a new 36-minute+ long continually-evolving ambient track. Might be good for sleep, meditation, artistic creativity, psychedelic journeys, etc. animusinvidious.bandcamp.com/track/long-f...

Hey nerd. This has been said before, but always bears repeating - not being nominated for an award or doing work that doesn't even have a category (I see you interior art illustrators and non-dice crafters) in no way diminishes the importance of it. You rule. Carry on.

Psst. Hey. Let me let you in on a secret. When someone writes a book, they *want* you to read it. Authors have no power to change shipping prices. High shipping prices are our enemy, too. We're on the same side!

GM Tip: Remember the KISS principle - Keep it Simple, Stupid. Don't make things more complicated for you than it needs to be. You're supposed to have fun in this hobby, too. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Pro tip: Drawing cartoon monkeys is hella fun.

Reading Rosewood Abbey, @rolistespod.itch.io's RPG of medieval monastic mysteries (think "The Name of the Rose" & Cadfael). Many neat ideas, including one item on the collaboration sheet - agreeing upfront as a group "How important is actual history?" in the game. drive.google.com/file/d/1NH5H...

The new version 2.1 of aFoD is available. My top 3 of hilarious typos: 1. Client Eastwood 2. Acquire Asses 3. Bring eternal piece Many thanks to my new friend Steve, who has taken on this big task and has ensured this improvement with a lot of patience and clarifications. #ttrpg #afod #fitd

I hope to publish version 2.1 of A Fistful of Darkness by the end of this week. PDF is done, charactersheets are in the works, proof copy of POD copy is ordered. Keep you fingers crossed. #afod #fitd #ttrpg
