GECKO We have that gecko and the tiny beetle!! Atlas is SO good at sculpting Little Guys, they are so little and so detailed!!

One month (and change) down in 2025 so you know what that means: time for a TTRPG crowdfunding retrospective! ttrpg-spider.blogspot.com/2025/02/janu... Real mixed bag this month y'all: promising signs for Backerkit growth, drop in money raised overall, growing saturation of campaigns using AI

Eli and I spill some of our designs secrets behind the mechanics of Sword Opera! Check out this public update on: - Assumed Success - Sword & Opera Consequences - Modifying the Action roll Check it out!

We'll be crowdfunding Zhenya's Wonder Tales soon, and in the spirit of adding value, we will include an email address you can write to have Zhenya personally curse you, absolutely free. It was her idea.

If you are curious about Grey Ranks, or want a deal on a bunch of fine games about resisting authoritarian regimes, there's a Bundle of Holding that may interest you! bundleofholding.com/presents/Res...

Sharky, my underwater module featuring were-sharks, sea-witches and psychic kraken-babies, is live on Kickstarter for Zinequest! Jay White is on spectacular art, and I'm so excited to get this into your hands! Check out the campaign here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/die... #osr

chitin-games.itch.io/am-i-blue/ Making my own little post about this too - Am I Blue has been released! A game for two about a lover left behind and the partner who left her, made for in-person play between two players sat on either side of a door, exchanging postcards. Also works play-by-post!

WE'VE PUBLISHED THE GAME IS OUT Am I Blue? is a small little game for two players, using a door and postcards for the core of its gameplay! Our submission for this year's Gaming Like it's 1929 game jam!

Happy public domain day! Come join our jam and make some new games with old works

As promised on the recent ZIMO stream, a compilation of some cool zine templates that I have bumped into over the last few years: Starting with Clayton Notestine's KILLER classic explorer template. @explorersdesign.bsky.social www.explorersdesign.com/classic-expl...

For almost half a year I've been working on the design concept and book layout for the Evolved Edition of the ALIEN RPG. Super excited to finally show some spreads, as it's a design I'm very happy with. And not only am I doing layout work, but I've got some spot art in there as well.

Holy shit. I began this blog last year in the hopes of engaging more deeply with our art form. Getting to the last round of the Review category here is incredibly affirming. And now I'm going up against @indiegamereadingclub.com, a publication I respect a lot! It's an honor.

New blogpost: Sharing the Spotlight is Insufficient A simple GM tip that may actually be pretty common, but I’ve always done somewhat automatically without a lot of conscious thought put into it: sharing a small bit of narrative control with your players in certain circumstances #osr #ttrpg

🏆BLOGGIES 2024 COMMENCE🏆 Throughout December, the community has nominated over 320 unique blog posts for this year’s BLOGGIES (over double the previous year!). With the nominations now narrowed down, we now turn to public voting! More info here: sachagoat.blot.im/bloggies-202...

Apparently it's portfolio day!! So here's some more of my art teehee! You can check out my full portfolio over at www.artstation.com/francisreid #portfolioday #portfolio #artist #art #digitalart #horror #fanart #asininestars

Hi there! A little intro post from me- I'm Frankie, an illustrator and concept artist, I do a lot of character and creature design and love anything fantasy or horror!! Here's a few pieces of my work! #artist #illustration #conceptart #portrait #digitalart #sketch #artoftheday #asininestars

🔺 new work up on my site! 🔺 check out the design I did for Triangle Agency– the tabletop roleplaying game, from kickstarter to rulebook to merch: 🔗 shilly.co/triangleagency (just don't read too far, there are spoilers!)

If anyone reading this is into game design or visual design, Triangle Agency is a MUST GET. Not only is it a great game, it makes such excellent use of both types of design. Briefcases are arriving globally now, this one came to me here in Norway, I HIGHLY recommend checking this game out!

My Triangle Agency Normal Briefcase Collection by @hauntedtable.bsky.social has ARRIVED!! This is by far one of the best boxed sets I've seen for a TTRPG yet, the quality of this is just fantastic. The book printing, the little details on the Briefcase, the sturdiness, the DICE I'm going feral

I'm not going to incessantly post on Bluesky about this until the first two weeks of February, but as my pre-launch is live, I should tell people: I'm running a Kickstarter for Sharky, my new module, featuring art by Jay White, for Zinequest in February. AMA! www.kickstarter.com/projects/die...

Just a reminder that all of my games are 50% off until Monday! If you like angsty victorians, angsty robots, angsty sailors or angsty dragons then check them out!

Just updated this with a few new suggestions I got!

Oh this is going to be a GREAT resource!! I'm very curious about the crowdfunding, particularly the planning of the campaign, and how yall got Triangle Agency out there, got people aware of it!

“Make art for thirty sickos,” is good advice. “Be somebody’s sicko,” is GREAT advice. “Do both!” is better, still. Being part of a community is amazing. Yes, it takes work. You gotta support people in ways that are kind of labour intensive. Gushing over a buddy’s new thing is one of the best parts.

I’m feeling SO proud - progress on my ongoing TTRPG project, Skyld, is going very smooth, and we’ve gotten to the stage of the first draft where I’m filling in specifics, of character creation options and picklists! Skyld is starting to move out of the planning app and into a working doc!

we made it northern hemisphere babes

i started a ttrpg blog in the year of our orb 2024. my first post is about something i think about a lot, which is the easiest method i've personally found for roleplaying npcs with depth

new banger manifesto just dropped

I need to pay January's rent soon, and haven't made any money this month! Due to health issues I'm still going through commissions that were paid for last month...so I can't take on new ones yet. I only have $160 of the $600 I need! Please consider donating to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/incaseofgrace

It delights me so much whenever I hear someone's played A Green Hour, it's a strange little game and I have so much fondness for it

We've had a really amazing run for a first game, and my goal was always for everyone who took a chance on us to share in our success. I'm hoping to do a full report of how everything from campaign to fulfillment happened in the new year, and will talk about our royalty system, too!

Next up for Critique Navidad, is Hwæt! a solo beowulf emulator. Did it slay? playfulvoid.game.blog/2024/12/14/c...

Wrote about how I made a little zine, which felt very intimidating when I started but turned out to be very, very easy to do.

ATTENTION: If you're a designer and you haven't seen anything from Bull Press, drop everything and start reading, NOW. Everything from these guys is jail compliant, free, and designed with the needs of the incarcerated in mind. All that, and they're incredible and have a lot to teach us. 🧵

🚯 Litter, Detective! is now available on itch.io! 🚯 THE OBJECT OF THE CRIME IS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR CASE A conversation game for woodland walks in which two or more players stretch their legs & imagination while tidying up the trash they find. goblincow.itch.io/litter-detec...

So, what are you doing for the first day of Itchmas? I just added twenty community copies to my game about chambermaids investigating the dark mystery of an alpine hotel: napel.itch.io/the-girls-of... #12DaysofItchmas

cooling off a little from the excitement and thinking about several games that aren't on here. Last year they also did one with direct recommendations from folks around the industry, so I bet that's coming too, but there are games not featured here that are directly responsible for ours existing.

I'm participating in a Secret Santa this year where instead of giving normal gifts, you write or make something for another designer's work. I got @magnoliakeep.itch.io, so I made factions for her game Sunk Cost—a game about freebooters and submarines. www.explorersdesign.com/factions-sun...

It's been just over a week since I started Critique Navidad, my series of reviews where I review whatever game or module was offered, one per day, for the month of December. Here's all the games I've reviewed so far and a teaser for what's coming, 1/🧵

New Campaign Update! Shipping Progress, Bonus Game Progress, PAX U, Polygon, Feelings. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hau...

Oh hey, that's me!! What better first post (well, repost) to have on here than a Triangle Agency one? Been having a BLAST with this game lately, I'm obsessed, EXCELLENT work by the Haunted Table team
