Old vampires loathe nothing more than the sound of machines. They remember the world when it was quiet; they remember a time before the hiss of engines, the rattle of pipes, the omnipresent hum of computation, so cruel to their sensitive ears

The pre-launch for DURF Expanded is up on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

Back in the day, I played a lot of Call of Cthulhu and even got a CoC article published in Different Worlds. Here are my CoC mins, which I'm giving away to raise money for Planned Parenthood. They'll go to the most generous offer (min $20 + shipping). 1/2

Bond. Blood Bond.

Have I dunked on Magpie many times for the handling of Urban Shadows 2e? Yes. Is missing your Kickstarter release date by 3 years worthy of a little criticism? Yes. Did I still fork over the cash to get the physical book and pdf asap? ...yes...

I'm really appreciating the depth Urban Shadows 2e goes to not only explain its moves, but each of the options within a move. I feel like I've seen a few PbtA games where those things aren't well defined (at least not in the part of the book) and it can be confusing for newer players. Solid work

Got this for $3 at a local comic shop! It’s a World of Darkness LARP magazine from 200. I’ve never even larped before, but it’s so fun to read about the scene from people inside of it. (And as a fan of VtM, there’s lots of fun stuff in here)

oh heck yeah love that new feature in Affinity Publisher!

🚨 New Blogpost: I started a campaign without a game system, collectively designing any rules as they were needed. Here is how my Calvinball experiment fared and the rules we patched together #ttrpg #osr

Happy birthday to Tim Bradstreet! And a large percentage of our aesthetic

And we're off! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

This was such a cool mechanic to design. Want to see something at a table? Say it out loud, then the GM can make it happen and it makes your character “level up” ! Essentially, mechanize the behaviors you want to see at the table.

PSA: All of David Lynch's features have just dropped at archive dot org, including Industrial Symphony No 1, Hotel Room, and the Duran Duran concert

Since I'm so proud of my work on this form-fillable PDF character sheet for Nimble 2E, I figured I should probably share it! Also, seriously, what a slick little system. Once it is available for the public (soon, I imagine), I highly recommend checking it out. drive.google.com/file/d/12BqR...

I think the last time I was this happy getting a #VtM book was with V5, when I first got into TTRPGs in 2019. Just reading through this the last couple of days has made me fall in love with Vampire all over again 🥹. So happy to have all 5 editions of this beautiful, gothic, gay as fuck game.🥹😭

I just feel like vomitting up a pellet of my prey’s bones and excess tissues would feel really good

We're getting up to something over herein Baker House. Maybe you'd be interested. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

In indie rpgs back in the later 00s, a lot of us were exploring the idea of social conflict. One of the ways we approached it was by casting social engagements as sword fights, inspired by the metaphor of the "duel of wits." You had your thrusts, your parries, your ripostes, your cutting remarks...

"Wildflowers" D20s are currently available in our shop! These have been polished but not painted so that you can choose how you would like the numbers inked! Just DM us with your order number and let us know!

Something always missing from ultra-streamlined little OSR rules is the unmatched vibe you get from having absurd phrases like “save versus death ray” and “constitution adjustment” written on a character sheet.

Does anyone know any alternatives to Google Calendar? Specially one that allows for both events and tasks. I’m wanting to switch for obvious reasons lol. #google #calendar #tech

Dungeon Bound is coming to BackerKit later this year. It's a solo-friendly and accessible old-school adventure game with 100+ pages of thematic rules, random tables, adventures, creatures, and it will even have a soundtrack! Ready to enter the Derwealds with some 200 other lost souls?

My ride is here. Where too?

A theme always develops...

I’m excited for people to get their hands on Urban Shadows 2nd Edition, partially because it’s amazing and partially because I need to have more actual plays to watch of people playing it

in this house we kneel for the flag 🏳️‍⚧️ and stand for the cross ⚔️

Hey I'm Waffles and I make art! Currently I'm doing a lot of art direction work for @deiciderpg.bsky.social (check it out if you've got some spare time) but I also offer the occasional commission. DM me if you're interested 🖤

I don't talk enough here about Rascal's Announcement section, a free to use/read resource meant for promotion and advertising. Think newspaper classifieds but for a website! We've already gather a TON of Zinequest stuff from multiple crowdfunding platforms. Super glad to see the tool helping folks.

Check out the newest Kickstarter for Kult: Divinity Lost. Four new books that expand the depth and breadth of the game. #ttrpg #horrorrpg #kult

Today’s spicy🌶️ #ttrpg take is that game balance is a silly thing to strive for and never works.

I'm sorry, but I can't STAND people who make their entire online personality shitting on every game that gets released and going out of their way to nitpick every single detail! You're boring. You're miserable. Please go and find a new hobby.

Experimenting with a d10 dice pool system because I’m starting to love d10s Just a solid die all around

Wow! I've never seen a snail eat something right in front of me before. That's really cool!🐌🌱

Hey Bluesky. Need to make a little map? Here's a 4(ish) step way to do that with Affinity Designer. Using the node tool to make the town, the vector brush tool to draw 'roads', and the shape builder tool, to create little pockets in town you can color to highlight important areas. alt for details.
