🐺🪓💜 4 days left. 27 Backers away from 200. Help us find those final woodsmen to join The Hunt! #ttrpg #ZiMo

Hear here. Seriously. If a game is NOT D&D, don't try to make it D&D. You'll just annoy people with the parts that still aren't, because you have broken those. Focus on the *differences*. They will assume the parts that are the same already. Show new people the strengths of new games. #ROLEplay

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

How could you not love this?

All three of my DriveThru RPG titles are 67% for a little while. That's like getting all of them for the price of one game! ... Sort of. Not really, that's not how maths works. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

New update with options for resolution mechanics, including a simple Diceless option. I must confess, the only one I'd played was Eric Wujcik's Amber. Have you played any Diceless RPGs? If so, which did you like best? Which did you hate? More importantly, why? #TTRPG #Diceless #SeriousQuestion

Excerpt about one of the coolest features of #Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy's combat, inspired by the heightened reality and action and style of films like Hard Boiled. anim-ttrpg.itch.io/eureka-urban... #ttrpg #johnwoo #hardboiled #guns #rpgs #indierpg #indierpgs #indiettrpgs

The countdown to the Rust Moon Primer next Friday continues! This week, we're unveiling the first of the Lycan player options, the Path of the Blood Moon! tbmgames.com/2025/02...

Lady In Waiting is my playthrough of @mirror-lock.bsky.social's #HerOdyssey. Performed by @raewittevo.bsky.social and @grumpyqueerdude.bsky.social. It is a Flash Folk-horror micro audiodrama (?). Entries are minutes long. Check out the first and subscribe. thief.substack.com/p/lady-in-wa...

I am extending the deadline to submit pitches for my Strixhaven project to March 1st. If you were interested in writing for the project, you now have an extra week to put together a submission!

Anyone else got good suggestions? I bet @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com could offer *several*, lol (Pitch your new stuff, RP! And your old stuff too!) 😂

Heads up, Butterflies! There's a new version of silentbardgames.itch.io/level-one-rpg up on Itch, with alternate dice systems for those of you who *don't* want a statistics minigame for every resolution - there's even a Diceless option! More artwork, better clarifications - check it out! #IndieGame

Hey all, looking for a new #boardgame podcast? Hello! We are Twenty Minute Tabletop a weekly podcast that doesn't chase the cult of the new, has some amazing guests, and is perfect for your commute... pod.link/1731899665

I’ll be moving from hellsite too (not just the company)! Time to reintroduce myself to the #ttrpgcommunity! I am Jo, a TTRPG designer, and freelancer writer, graphic designer and artist!

Made some updates to the core of the Boundless system and I just created the perfect “Soulslike” TTRPG system by accident. Like for real, it ticks all the boxes.

Handy thread whatever you play!

I've been in the Busty Wench a few times... Make of that what you will. 😉

OMG - @shanarosenberg.bsky.social has the Alpha version of "It's What My Character Would Do" up. It's live, and I just used Paul's credit card to snag an early copy, lol Go, look! Download! Support the Designers of your #TTRPG fun! faymom.itch.io/its-what-my-... #ChaoticNeutral! #NoRegERts!

Interesting question. I really like systems like GURPS and Fate that *incentivize* characters that aren't boringly perfect. Branch out - try something new!

Which is worse... - waving your sword at the horizon because your #Dice rolled *shit*, or - rolling ok and connecting with a solid *thunk* only to have your opponent's armor prevent it from actually having any useful effect? Asking for a friend who's tweaking his #TTRPG rules... #SeriousQuestion

The playtest went pretty well. It's up - www.twitch.tv/videos/23820... VERY loose and casual, but that's normal for Paul. (I don't know *how* he manages sometimes...) We're editing from lessons learned, adding smoother dice options. Check it out. :) #TTRPG #ActualPlay #NotDnD

Hey, #TTRPG people - what #Diceless systems have you used? When you do use #Dice, would you rather roll just one, a handful, or a bucketload? Does your favorite system make rolls (or other resolutions!) for every individual action - each swing, for example - or wrap things up into bundles?

Vicarious participation! 😅

Hey, I've been there! They have great potatoes! Ok, I haven't...I was Bluffing. ;) But I bet they do have great potatoes.

IT HAS ARRIVED YOU CAN OFFICIALLY BUY SWORD & BOARD GAMES' DEBUT TITLE, TUSC: THE UNIVERSAL SKIRMISH COMBAT ENGINE, FROM THE LINKS BELOW: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... www.wargamevault.com/product/5004...

Just watched the stream. I can vouch that Paul had a ball, lol Got some inspiration for upgrades too, I hear. You can see for yourself at www.twitch.tv/videos/23759... Game actually doesn't start for the first 10m or so of chatter. 😆 Cameras come online at about 2m.

Looking forward to this one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/190...
