Los Angeles battlefield, America, 2026

Christina Koch: So several years ago, I was giving a speech about crew and crewmates and teamwork. And someone asked, what makes a crew? What is different about a crew than a team? And I was like, I got this - open my mouth confidently to tell them everything I knew about being a crewmate

Is anyone aware of any depth crawl game that uses d66 tables where the first d6 is either replaced by depth or augmented by it? This came up in the episode of Gamestorm thats coming out this next Monday and I don't think I've seen it in a depth crawl that I am aware of!

Being reminded of this game was a blast from the past. I remember playing it a lot as a kid.

Wanna talk about #PsiRun2e and other #ttrpg or #PBTA stuff? Awesome! If you're looking for a guest on your podcast, or someone to interview for your article, DM me, we can chat. Don't have a podcast or etc? Cool, let's talk here!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

Go pick up the bundle! There's so many great games for a great cause and its over halfway to its goal!

Go check out this article I wrote! And checkout the @aavoigt.bsky.social video that inspired me trying the game in the first place!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going through some of the boardgames in the Library of Congress collection. We found a game not in @boardgamegeek.com: The Diligent Girl as Lady of the House. More below, but: Can anyone help me figure out the publisher? Can't make a BGG entry without one! 1/

Throwing down some lines and ink. I've really missed doing fantasy stuff. Its nice bouncing between genres so much lately.

Those of you who have been following me for a long while might remember a cool game jam I hosted 4-5 years ago where I designed a bunch of evocative cover mock-ups for people to make ttrpgs or larps based off! Well, it's back! #ttrpg #mockcoverjam itch.io/jam/mock-cov...

If you like any of my work and want to check out more of it, all of the games that I have worked on are currently in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights - Idaho bundle. Go support an incredibly good cause and check out some great games! itch.io/b/3525/ttrpg...

NEW: Lost At Sea by Jean-Marc Choserot from @critkituk.bsky.social Play as sailors in uncharted waters after a terrible storm in a game that plays somewhere between a board game and a RPG. You’ll go through dangerous maritime adventures and encounters from many eras, stories and legends.

Thank you everyone for the support on Diabolic Dialect! It makes me so happy to see such a big group of people supporting the project. Now to finish production and get it to your hands as soon as possible!

The mini-con was so much fun! Hope you all had a good time getting into games! Thanks for all the GMs who jumped in and ran games! We’ll have more events like this in the future.

Instead of being mad at famous performers and artists for being “nepo babies” maybe we should be mad that our society gives zero fucks about arts education and public arts funding. We could empower would-be artists who don’t have an industry inroad and funding, but we don’t. 🧵

We're in the last 48 hours to back Diabolic Dialect on Kickstarter! Jump into a d6 dice pool game of spells, linguistics and weird wizards for 3-5 players; where the only thing limiting you is your imagination! What spells will you cast? www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

Ooooh go check this out! Psi*Run 1st Ed was so great.

We’re in our final three days! Join the Kickstarter and you too can experience the wacky, fun spells of Diabolic Dialect at your table! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

If you’re at Pax East, check out the Pandemonium Books and Games table at booth 12109! You can pick up Vesta Mandate and experience the type of game I’m talking about for yourself!

I wanted to talk about this moment quickly cause I've been thinking about it a lot. It felt like a climax of the session mechanically and it feels worth exploring why @ryanzenith.bsky.social and I built it like this. Watch like 2 minutes from the point shared here for context.

I’m rewatching The Expanse and there was a moment in episode 5 that was EXACTLY a scene from the Vesta Mandate one shot we did recently. It was so cool to recognize a dramatic scene from media that inspired me mirrored in the game. Anyway, go watch the one shot! It’s great! youtu.be/nDoeqzW32Ww

Diabolic Dialect is in its last week on Kickstarter! Jump into a game of spells, linguistics and wacky wizards before the it ends! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...
