We just broke the $900K mark—meaning the Cypher campaign is 900% FUNDED! Can we get to 1000% funded? $1M is a LOT, but we're already so close! With every pledge, share, retweet, and like, we inch closer and closer to that magic number... mymcg.info/cypher

On Between Two Cairns, @yochaigal.bsky.social, Skullboy, and I discuss "The Chateau Amongst the Stars" by @revivifygames.bsky.social. Also: should published modules be Tolkien-coded? www.patreon.com/posts/139419...

Once again I am asking small business owners, artists and artisans, and anyone else who purchases packaging to do it anywhere but Uline

A new one on my adventure design process that I wrote for my fellow designers. revivifygames.com/blog/ttrpg-p...

New post from "The Other Side blog"! @timsbrannan.bsky.social #ttrpg #blog

since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead

I’m back with a continuation of my last article, The Overachiever’s Guide to Lazy Hexcrawl Building, where I demonstrate how I use a GM binder to organize everything and expand upon my world as the campaign plays out. revivifygames.com/blog/lazy-gm-binder-prep #GMbinder #D&D

Hello again, tabletop RPG designers! The second Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grant is now taking applications! I'm looking to award up to 10 grants at $200 apiece. Applications open until the end of the month. Apply here: bannerless.games/grants

This week marks 2 years of my foray into adventure design. In honor of the milestone, I am discounting everything I have published on DriveThruRPG through the 22nd. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

I wrote a pretty massive one here on how I like to build out my hexcrawls without getting too lost in the world-building. It's a process I developed to work in combination with the Lazy Dungeon Master ethos. #GM #Hexcrawls revivifygames.com/blog/lazy-he...

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR MASTERCARD’S CEO STEP 1: CALL +1 914 249 2000 STEP 2: TYPE 0 STEP 3: TYPE 6432224# STEP 4: TYPE 1 Congratulations, and have fun calling the executive who matters most in this Steam / itchio censorship situation

Keep calling Visa. It’s working.

With all the people hyping up their Gen Con tips, I've been reflecting on my past experiences, and I have come to the conclusion that smaller is better when it comes to cons. Not yucking your yum, but I hope we get more smaller cons in the future, they always have the most memorable XPs imo.

Sneak peek...

Recently, I fell in love with these little A5 Japanese binders, and I think they are pretty much perfect for player aids. Check out some of the things I made, and grab the free DCC character sheet I designed for them. revivifygames.com/blog/japanes...

So, you're looking for fonts that'll stand out. There are hundreds of open-source/free ones, but you want something more obscure, something that supports a type designer. Here are 10 type foundries, collectives, and designers perfect for indie rpgs... www.explorersdesign.com/10-budget-fo...

Just got this update from Kobo which says it's going to use AI to read my works to "enhance" discoverability and marketing, and determine the "suitability" of the works and "adherence to Kobo’s Terms of Service" among other things. Which is why I'm immediately pulling my books from Kobo.

The time is coming. The most epic expansion for Twelve Years yet!!! Inspired by eco-grief, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ursula K Le Guin, and Ray Harryhausen…among much more. www.kickstarter.com/projects/moo...

Sneak peek of the next project I have in the works...

I don't know if it's just me, but I always start my adventure planning with some sort of spatial rendering. This one is going to be a pointcrawl/funnel I am working on for Cy_Borg. Bonus points if you can guess what my mental picture of Cy is...

This week in the Bathtub, its Chateau Amongst the Stars! In this gorgeous Shadowdark module, explore a floating mansion as it slowly collapses on the village below. Does it shine bright, or collapse into a black hole?? idlecartulary.com/2025/05/05/b... #osr

We're past $75k! That $100,000 goal is within sight - we've got just over 6 days to hit it!

Steal my prep... I'm going to be running DCC's "The Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen" in Shadowdark. revivifygames.com/blog/veiled-...

Small tabletop creators already feeling squeezed by the Tariff Era

Has anyone seen the meta add where the person asks for discussion starters on Moby Dick... I think it explains why I hate AI, as a x-ennial this would have risked you being labelled a "poser" a fate worse than death. AI is just tech-powered posing. 🤯

I put together some design tips for making print-friendly games, and how to work around the impact of tariffs as a small independent TTRPG publisher. revivifygames.com/blog/graphic...
