Indie ttrpg folks, where did we come down on GPSR now that the dust has settled a bit? Any leads on good value EU Responsible Persons?

sometimes you have an image in your head and you just have to get it out

I’m looking for someone who knows their way around InDesign, has a passion for the hobby, and would be up for taking some layouts off me for Secret Passages issue 3 and – if we both have a lovely time – beyond. If that sounds like you, DM me! #ttrpg #zine #design #indesign #graphicdesign

Tiny Tome 3 is funded! Pick up 50 games by 50 indie creators, and if it hits the first stretch goal my game Litter, Detective! will be included too!

Tiny Tome 3 is funded! Pick up 50 games by 50 indie creators, and if it hits the first stretch goal my game Litter, Detective! will be included too!

Tiny Tome 3 from @long-tail-games.bsky.social just launched! It has a lot of great games from some amazing designers (and my game Rêve too). Its already funded and will be shipping in time for the holidays. Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon...

Want free stuff? Follow and share this link! I'll select three random sharers to receive a complete set of Tiny Tome. That's 150 single-page RPGs in 3 books! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon...

Proud to say that seeing Tiny Library for the first time at Dragonmeet 2 years ago inspired Litter, Detective! which is now one of the stretch goals to be included in Tiny Tome 3! October has been the biggest month of my life and I'd love this full circle moment to be part of it. Get it 4 xmas?! 👀

One page games can be fun romps and artistic explorations of the edge of the medium, but they are cost prohibitive to print and distribute -- which is why the Tiny Tome series by @long-tail-games.bsky.social is so great for both designers and players. And one of my games is in here! 🤩

There's a lot of neat games in here! (mine is hiding amongst them, find it if you would like to will your skeleton to someone as dice)

161 people have signed up for Tiny Tome 3! You can be like them - gaming hipsters who are here to kick ass and support the scene. 50 single-page RPGs from 50 different creators 🔥🔥🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon...

The latest stretch goal has unlocked another adventure! "Lair of the Gobbler" will now be part of the DURF Adventure Zine! www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

This guide really is COMPREHENSIVE. If this topic remotely intersects with your work you should give it a read, this is such a valuable resource.

TTRPG creators, there are innumerable reasons, and a nigh indescribable bliss to be found, if you dare learn to draw. And at least, if you do not, it's cool for you to learn some of the basics, since you will sooner and later need to work with artists: www.patreon.com/posts/compre...

🍐 FINAL 24 HOURS to preorder the new Troika! book from @melsonian-arts-council.itch.io written & illustrated by me! 🐞 A richly interconnected pointcrawl ecosystem of faction politics exploring definitions of dungeons & personhood both, by way of creepy-crawly hijinks for fans of bugs with swords!

Here, I did the hard part and googled it for you; here's the first reasonable result for "free rss readers". I've tried about half of these and they were all reasonable. Look at what features you need to pay for, they're all slightly different, and choose one. bloggingwizard.com/free-rss-fee...

RSS is, and I say this without hyperbole, an incredibly useful tool for psychological independence in the current environment. Newsblur, as Vajra suggests, is good, I use Feedbin, there are others. Most remarkably easy to set up.

Warning: if you grabbed a Love Minis, Hate Fascism shirt from me/Fenris a couple of weeks ago, please make sure it was me you ordered from. Just had somebody here asking about the poor print quality of their shirt...when I've not received them from the printers yet. Fucking scammers.

My friend’s dad Malcolm Ducker, former RAF pilot, dad & grandad, is among those still being held in a maximum security Israeli prison for the crime of trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Read: www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-and-...

Got my latest copy of @wyrdscience.bsky.social and it’s already my favorite volume so far (and I’m not even in this one!)

To call the Forsaken heroes is preemptive; perhaps their deeds will be few and worthless, or worse — they may be great, yet bring naught but ruin. As for their past, speculate as you wish. At this point, neither you nor they can ever truly know. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

I made these for two works for the Straight Arrows RPG campaign based off @mothership.bsky.social. I'm looking to make more. Front covers. Alternate covers. My secret wish is to buddy up with a writer to collage an entire campaign. Characters, story art etc

Go grab a physical copy of Goblin Country! Pending a new print run these are the last ones available in the world!

I absolutely refuse to social-media-cize my utopian cottagecore life, despite the fact it would easily make me the most popular ttrpg designer by a wide margin. You're welcome.

Woof woof, girl.

a pokemon is an employee. if you call a pokemon your friend it's like when your boss says this place of work is a family. you got a direct power imbalance. now a digimon. thats a friend. me and kokabuterimon are getting beers.

"Root Grafting"

Since Jordan Peterson's back in the hospital I'd like to take a moment to remember his highlights

Hi bluesky, idk how to get people to see this, but I'm a game designer, writer, poet, and graphic designer who makes books! You should follow me and help me achieve the impossible: getting ihop to stack my pancakes 8 high instead of the default 4. Anyways, here's some recent work <3

🍐 3 DAYS REMAIN Preorder by Oct 7 (18:00 GMT) 🦋 Shrink to size & explore a labyrinthine world of bug factions inside a sapient pear tree, racing against the clock to shape the future of a dungeon that was never yours to delve & escape before you grow to full size! www.melsonia.com/products/pre...

🐛 The Perilous Pear & Plum Pies of Pudwick is DIY Crowdfunding on Melsonia's website now! I was directly inspired by the world building of #HollowKnight & pitched this book in 2019, so it's been in development as long as #Silksong! Go buy my first book! It's good! www.melsonia.com/products/pre...

🐜 Shrink to insectoid size in a 52 page full-colour, fully illustrated weird fantasy pointcrawl inside a sapient pear tree, written & illustrated by me with layout by Shuyi Zhang. 🪲 Inspired by #HOLLOWKNIGHT | #BUGFABLES | THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE MINISH CAP | HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS | A BUGS LIFE.

on top of everything else, choosing to publish this in the telegraph is so fucking funny man. washed party, washed leader, washed country

The designer of excellent TTRPG Teeth (and friend of mine) @rossignol.bsky.social has started doing POV videos where he leafs through RPG books! Solid stuff, give him a subscribe www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckA4...

I'm collecting one-page RPGs for Tiny Tome 3! That's 50 games from 50 different creators - and there's only a couple of spaces left. If you made something great in 2025, let me know about it. I want to put your game into print and on tables around the world. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Well, we were aiming for 1000 pre-launch followers by the end of September, and we're at 96% of that goal with a full week to go. If you've been meaning to click that "notify me" button, please do – even if you're sure you'll remember on your own, it does affect the project's visibility on launch!

A year ago I blogged about wrapping work on Pudwick, my DIY manifesto as a disabled person, and the reason I'm sharing again now – a contextualisation of the UK's fascist "riots" of August '24. Permacrisis attacks our ability to remember. Maybe this is helpful: www.patreon.com/posts/green-...

We truly live in the worst timeline. Here are some rambling thoughts on proposed changes to immigration in the UK and how it impacts me directly. byodinsbeardrpg.com/email/2bd5f5...

I love Itch and I think this stuff is actually the fault of capitalism & probably they are also just trying to scrape by? I only make like a couple hundred dollars a year on there but, like many people working in the arts, I survive on a paper thin margin so It would be awful if itch went away

Susbsystem pages starting to multiply...

"Experiment, try, and fail. Fail together, beyond the shadow, and grow stronger for it." I wrote about it on my newsletter but when Dan pitched this for Pudwick I was glad I would have none of the pressure of the crowdfunding song-&-dance. I can promote the book at my pace, however it feels right.

This is my favourite part of @therisingtithes.bsky.social's latest column. (continued in the thread)

Going Solo: our accelerator for journalists launching their own venture on their own is officially HALF SOLD OUT. 10 (maybe 9?) more spots left in this cohort. Starts October 2. projectc.biz/going-solo

Huge, huge congrats to @amabel.bsky.social @fredserval.bsky.social @charlietheel.bsky.social and @danthurot.bsky.social - all consistently pushing the bounds and exploring new depths with their work, so great to see them all recognised here
