for my birthday I'm having a sale on the games and zines and things at w.itch.io. everything's on sale! you can buy it and I will get money

We'll be talking about it more as we get into the spring, but our initial publication is coming soon! The Adventurer & Hobbyist Annual is a collection of system-adventurous scenarios and more to use in your favorite ttrpgs. Sign up to get notified on launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

Last day for the Get Loud Indie TTRPG bundle. We've raised over $500 per designer this month. For me that's bills paid, that's grocery money. Almost $12k split between 20 people. All of that just from folks like you. Thank you. itch.io/b/2864/the-g...

As if invoked by our latest Plus Expenses episode, where we touch on why we still use Skype. RIP the weird crypto group chats I would have to manually leave 🫡 unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/09

Looks like they waiting just long enough for twohundredaday.fireside.fm to finish recording on it.

Tomorrow is mail day, which means today is a great day to order the World Wide Wrestling RPG (or any of my other games), because it will go in the mail tomorrow! www.ndpdesign.com/wwwrpg

In other medical news, I’m taking my kid for a checkup tomorrow and she asked if “anybody gets blood shots”. Blood shots? “A shot to make your blood healthy” Blood shot: A shot to make your blood healthy!

my doctors office started sending prescription refill reminders which is nice, but so far only for the prescription that my insurance doesn’t cover so I never started, love this system

Okay, folks. We only need to get 23 more backers and we have 3 days to go. Absolutely doable, but we could use a lil' help getting the word out. Check us out if the below sounds like your jam and if it's not, totally cool! Boosts are hella appreciated. 💜 #ttrpg #ZiMo

Hey did you know that there are wrestling TTRPGs and wrestlers other than WWE

Great timing on a comment illustrating that, while I’m glad people are excited for big-deal wrestling APs, remember that you don’t NEED to be a wrestling nerd to enjoy playing a wrestling game!

Our patrons get two Plus Expenses a month, along with the two regular Unwritten Earths eps, all in one convenient feed. This support keeps the main show ad-free and available to everyone. If you dig this kind of convo, you can get more for as little as $3/month! www.patreon.com/c/UnwrittenE...

a reminder that @rascalnews.bsky.social runs the announcement section as a totally free public service for the ttrpg ecosystem -- free to post, free to access, free to browse. we also publish a free weekly newsletter highlighting every announcement. www.rascal.news/tag/announce...

big high-energy session of @ndpdesign.com 's WWWRPG tonight. The Hangman trounced his old partner, The Unkillable Man; Magnus Thorssen, pretender to the Danish Throne, shat all over the Chairman's big announcement; up-and-coming luchador Hombre Perro took an unprecedented beating.

There's a few days left on the Get Loud TTRPG Bundle. 36 games from 20 creators, none of them with the regular kind of media attention that D&D gets. We've raised $10,000 to be split evenly between all the indie TTRPG makers involved. How much louder can we get? itch.io/b/2864/the-g...

Dollhouse Drama is my new #ttrpg for going on really fun toy and cartoon inspired adventures and also it has some really nifty mechanics for manipulating shared dice pools that I think people will really like, SO... get it while it's hot jen-adcock15.itch.io/dollhouse-dr...

I read @keithsenkowski.com excellent piece on Sorcerer RPG, and I'm reminded of the first time I encountered the "Declare actions then roll and read the entrails" process; action ordering included I ❤️❤️ it. Sorcerer, Wild Talents, Cold City does it, what else does? keithsenkowski.com/sorcerer/?re...

I really dig Huckleberry

Huckleberry: The Whealing Wallow is now available! It is a story of ecocide and greed. A herd of buffalo have awakened and are bent on revenge and destruction. Huckleberry is the weird west TTRPG where the vibe-heavy folklore horror of Hellboy meets the larger-than-life western action of Tombstone.

Less than 48 hours to back 'Growing Thylacine' A no-prep, shared narration game across five evocative scenes crowdfunding for ZineMonth / ZineQuest. Collectively play a once-extinct creature dreaming about ex-life, then escape the cloning lab! Risograph printed in green and gold ink.

I've made a few one-page TTRPGs, one of which earned an ENNIE nomination. So I wrote a guide to encourage and help others create their own one-page games. Covers everything from generating ideas to publishing online. Make your own one-page TTRPG: exeuntpress.itch.io/one-page-rpg #ttrpg #solorpg

thinking about beeves

Front end folks! Let's say I want to replace a character in a sentence with a SVG. You know, like how the monks used do with their drop caps and illuminated manuscripts. What's the most accessible way to do this? How do I ensure screen readers know what's going on?

I have a friend looking to hire someone to do layout design on a set of 20 - 24 page, A4 one shot adventures. If anyone has any recommendations, please pop us a message or give them a tag. :)

We got the 1000 Years Of HRT goal this morning!!!

if you would like testimonials to convince you to listen to this podcast, I shared it in a discord when it launched and a friend who recently started designing his first game has been very appreciative since 😂

Pretty fucking cool to reconnect with a long loved game and share it with the fine folks of The Gauntlet. This is a great conversation and we really dive into some great design

I am usually open for commissions and negotiations. Affordable, flexible, simply...

We're in our final week, folks! 🐺🪓💜 We would love to hit 200 backers on this project and can definitely do that with a little help boosting. #ttrpg #ZiMo

My first rando reply instablock! no screenshot, i dont play that game, but it was funny that it was a pro-AI comment that started with the words “I love feeling stupid” - yeah I can tell bud

Thanks to the near-450 folks who backed the RPG Design Zine Two! Amazing. My x-acto blades are sharp and my photocopier is tuned up, looking forward to making this zine a reality over the next month. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

Our latest episode is out now! In the Constraints episode, @ndpdesign.com and @epidiah.bsky.social talk about games we would play with our moms, what's up on the Discord and finding productive constraints on design and play. unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/08 - or wherever you get your podcasts!

Here's the crowdfunder for Cosmic Dark, my game of weird space horror. It'll launch shortly. Please sign up. And I really appreciate it if you share this post! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

Finally watched the Kendrick halftime show in full and damn. Damn! I know you know this, but it’s so good! And such a rich text even before getting to the next-level haterade. Just incredible.

Griot Anthology is still itchfunding! Get some great games by some awesome black game designers: thoughtcrimegames.itch.io/griot-anthol...

OMEN is here! 💀 Your world is Doomed. Unless you can deny Fate. OMEN is a oneshot TTRPG about defying destiny at the end of the world. Roll a big pile of dice and take a stand! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Last day! Right now I have over 700 zines to make (!), and the coolest thing is that almost 200 of those are donations to the free zine library, which will be available post-campaign for folks who find the cover price a barrier to still get zines in print. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...
