Backers rejoice! It's been a long time coming and I appreciate everyone's patience! The Tales of Forge & Fortune - Barebones Edition has been sent! For anyone who missed out, I'll be selling this text-only version of the game soon! Also, enjoy this art of things to come, by @samiligia.bsky.social

Still alive. Housing has thankfully been secured but recent events have made the job situation, for me, a little shakey. Move-in date is 02/01. Been a crazy past few weeks leading up to this.

More playable lineage illustrations for the Cozy Fantasy Smithing #TTRPG, Tales of Forge & Fortune! This time, the Goltha!

New illustrations by the sensational @samiligia.bsky.social for the lineages of "Tales of Forge & Fortune" have already begun, as I continue to search for housing againt the clock, and make steady progress towards completing the Barbones Edition on time!

The holidays have been rough, but hopefully a new year brings new beginnings. On the brightside, making solid progress on the creation of the "Tales of Forge & Fortune: Barebones Edition" PDF. I miss playing and making TTRPGs. Plan on doing a LOT more of both this year!

Day late, dollar short, but I've been sick with the Pharyngitis my son gave me on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, ya filthy animals!

Anyone ever take the USA Hire assessment tests? I don't fancy myself a genius, but WOW did they make me feel stupid at times. Hoping that I passed all 4 and will get an interview soon.

All these fake gamers crying about "woke" video games, because Witcher 4 and other recent announcements, acting like we've never had a female protagonist in a video game before. An entire genre started with Samus Aran and Metroid in the 80s, followed by Lara Croft and others in the 90s and beyond.

The idea of superheroes potentially being tied to government entities and the inclusion of corporations that are trying to monetize superheroism has a lot of potential issues that GMs are welcome to take advantage of and explore.

Springboarding off of this, wanted to share a little worldbuilding within my Superhero TTRPG. - Superheroes can either work for their respective governments or be "freelance". Freelancers have a little more operational freedom than government heroes, but no pay & don't have as many protections.

Near the end of the month, still no home secured, little $ to my name, with 38 job applications submitted and 10 rejections so far. Cutting things much closer than I feel comfortable with, and REALLY hoping I get a callback for an interview soon. 😔

One of the coolest things about designing TTRPGs from scratch is that you're only the tiniest step away from nigh infinite possibilities! Want to make a Superhero TTRPG? You can also create - comics, animated series, video games, novels, etc. AND have them all tie into one another!

Although I enjoyed my brief time with the original Overwatch, I never really considered shooters or hero shooters "my thing", but I am absolutely OBSESSED with #MarvelRivals, and I both love and hate it! 🤣

Finally verified!

The usual drama of life aside, I have good news! Tales of Forge & Fortune: Barebones Edition, the Cozy Fantasy Smithing TTRPG Kickstarter campaign ended at nearly 15000% funded! $750 to put towards more art, and cover the cost of some of the work for the illustrated version that's been done!

What We Can Learn From D&D’s Sexist History

Final 2 hours to get the FULL, text-only version of the #Cozy Fantasy Smithing #TTRPG, Tales of Forge & Fortune! Play the game before anyone else, have your pledge applied to the illustrated version relaunch, AND lower the relaunch's funding goal in the process!

37 applications, 7 rejections, less than a month to secure employment and housing. I may be able to do well under pressure, but neither my body nor my IBD appreciate all of the stress. For once, just let me have a big win.

Its the purrfect time of year to play Toe Beans Winter! Mara, the cafe owner, is missing! Help the cats run the cafe until he returns. Features seasonal blends, a real life recipe book and a winter themed menu for your players! For #dnd 5e (but easily adaptable!) fistfulofcrits.co.uk/collections/...

Get it, VOD squad! 💪🏻👵🏻💪🏻 And check out Heart if you can on Thursday, 7pm GMT on @euphoriaap.bsky.social! youtu.be/Zj02Z_p5ag4?...

GAST has 2 unique publishing elements that will really set it apart. 1. We’ll produce zines in ‘seasons’, taking a popular SRD and creating collections, starting with Carta. 2. GAST is a horror universe, and all games we make will be connected by an ancient & malevolent entity. tinyurl.com/ycx9tkdz

If you're looking for something fun to play during the holidays, this game is the perfect fit. Prints on a single piece of paper, rules light, has rolling tables AND has a spot to draw your character! fari-rpgs.itch.io/trouble-at-s...

Roughly 24 hours left to take advantage of this EXCLUSIVE Kickstarter, text-only, full version of the #Cozy Fantasy Smithing #TTRPG, Tales of Forge & Fortune! Not only does backing now get applied to the illustrated relaunch, but you're also helping lower the goal and pay for more art now!

SO glad that #MarvelRivals is out now! It's free-to-play AND crossplay, so PC, Xbox, and PS5 gamers unite! As you can see, I'm back on my symbiotic bullshi- and couldn't be happier! Also had a little time with Cap, and looking forward to testing out Cloak & Dagger, along with Iron Fist!

FINALLY!! My #TTRPG #AP player debut is here! I’ll be playing Cy Borg tonight starting at 8:30 est! It’s also @mara-f-plays.bsky.social’s first AP as a GM! Come out and support it’s gonna be a wild time! @bardofthemidwest.bsky.social @starshardstories.bsky.social @morkborg.bsky.social #cyberpunk

Brainstorming some title ideas, but want to see what you all think about one that seems to stick with me. For a TTRPG with a focus on playing as superheroes AND supervillains, how does "Legends of Virtue & Villainy" sound?

7 Days left to lock in your copy of the EXCLUSIVE & COMPLETE text-only version of the #Cozy Fantasy Smithing #TTRPG, Tales of Forge & Fortune, for only $5 or $10! Play the game before everyone else AND help fund the illustrated version today!

Still alive, just busy working the usual 6 to 6, on top of cranking out new job apps for up north, packing, and rental hunting. I'll be back to the usual TTRPG goodness soon-ish!

Better think twice before trying to throw hands with me. Even if you manage to beat me at first, I got a whole sack of these!

Need a job up north in order to secure housing, but I need housing to figure out where my wife and I are going to work and where my son will go to school, but I need to know what school my son is going to in order to better inform where my wife and I will be working, because he can't ride the bus.

"How do you know so much about Star Wars?" Me: 🤷‍♂️

Was busy doing some cleaning and packing, when I found this little memento. Ah yes, good times. (Relax people, it's clearly fake and a prop I made for the short, "How To Survive A Horror Film)

A lifetime, packed into a single box... 🥹

I know there's discourse when it comes to leveling in a #TTRPG, because it gamifies things too much or makes it too much like a video game, but in systems that revolve around, or mostly involve combat, I feel it makes sense from both a narrative & gameplay standpoint, especially in epic quest TTRPGs

For the Superhero TTRPG, I'm unsure if leveling up should provide a skill and/or augment from a branching ability tree at each level or if it should be tiered off by level ranges (to hopefully avoid being overpowered early), with point values to select what abilities and/or augments you "purchase"
