32. FIST by @claymorerpgs.bsky.social is my spouse's newest obsession and after playing my ooze + charm dealmaker that was my most literally slimey charming saleswoman I've ever played... I get it. It was fun, it was charming. It was fast paced, enjoyed by our group during a late night at a con

cleaned this one up a little

What is zonecore? Creating Exclusion Zone Botanist led me to search for the origins and critical works of the genre, including Roadside Picnic. Here are five elements of zonecore and a list of tabletop games for inspiration: omnes.exeunt.press/p/what-is-zo... #zonecore #ttrpg #boardgames #ezb

I’ve been mulling this thought over but I think there’s sort of a third wave of indie RPGs outside of the established OSR / Story Game divide…games that I would say take design cues from both schools but are firmly developing their own identity and culture distinct from both.

We told y’all they’d be implementing them here

happy easter

what if we put issue 8 of Wyrd Science on sale? What if this got more likes & shares than our stupid jokes? featuring Dolmenwood, Blades In The Dark, Doomsong, Kamping Kitbash, Lee Gold, The Old King's Crown, weird fiction, aggro comics, dungeon synth & lots more shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

tomorrow !

logged into the old CLAYMORE twitter on a whim

I assume you acquired it the proper way, by beating the original creators with hammers

i'm gonna be real i don't think that the Noem's husband is a sissy humiliationist thing is that funny and i really don't like seeing cis people joke about it he's just some fascist who gets off on being called a woman because he's that much of a misogynist dude like it's not that deep

So, apparently I missed Transgender Visibility Day by a few hours, but the full PDF version of You Will Die In This Place is now avaliable. You should be able to access it for free if you previously got the development preview. liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/you-will-die...

why don't you april fool some bitches

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

we got the license to FATAL and will be doing a new, woke version of it

trans day of doing whatever you want forever

"I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight." —Malcolm X

Trans people, we see you, we hear you, we talk about you the way we talk about endangered species and how someone should do something about that

trans folks get two holidays a year and one is "remember all the people who died because they were visible" and the other is "hey, you're extra visible"

happy TDOV to like 90% of our fanbase

We've been getting some amazing feedback from our first week testers! (Also there's a PBP going on in the FIST discord that is so fun to watch. If anyone wants to start another play-by-post and let me spy on your play PLEASE do, it's so useful)

If you're: 1) In the global south 2) Have an upcoming small TTRPG project 3) Would like to access Kickstarter for funding We are doing a test run of the GSIC so if you're interested, DM me. You can see the details here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Same case if you are in the imperial core...

PLANET FIST is a type of Marathon you can play with sticks and rocks. It rules so hard. The games I played of it were some of my most treasured gaming.

i got an even bigger blog post coming so if u fw this one... get hyped.......

we've got satirical ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶x̶ ̶e̶n̶t̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶lore, we've got swappable utility gear, we've got evil factions you're working for, we've got it all

PLANET FIST is incredible and Jess is a legend, go pick this up ASAP SOLDIER

Quick reminder about SOUP JAM, a game jam starting in 4 days! You'll have 3 months to make small art gallery-esque games in the style of SOUP, a minimalist walking simulator. Spread the word!

Playtest last night- this game absolutely rips. They put a Slapstick Bracelet on a Broccoli Blotch Baby, rode a Windbag across a pitch black pit while 1/10th their normal size, and ate Boneless Ribs which removed their bones! Play this ASAP- some of the most fun I’ve had with a “dungeon” in years.

I’m at the Triangle Agency. I’m at the Slay the Spire. I’m at the combination Triangle Agency and Slay the Spire.

I’m not saying that RPGZine.Club is a protection racket for your con wallet, but I am saying you’ll already own more of the games at our booth and save 10% on everything else. Sign up for #ZineClub if you know what’s good for you. #paxeast #ttrpg

if you're not playtesting the BRAND NEW CROSSOVER BETWEEN TRIANGLE AGENCY AND FIST, then you are missing out on one of the greatest marketing ploys of ALL TIME ‼️

triangle agency's maximalist style 🤝 FIST's ease of pick-up-and-play 🤝 roguelite video games plus you can get in on the initial playtest for only $3, and keep up with development and our other bonus stuff by staying on monthly!

the trickle of chaotic anecdotes i'm already seeing from playtests..... what if you made something & people got a little silly with it. Wowowowowow pretty cool

now is the time to organize a weekend group to playtest THE HOUSE EDGE

WORLD FIRST VAULT CLEAR!!! Congrats to Yuanmian, Blank, Yuzheng Yunyi, and Erebus for making it all the way through a run of THE HOUSE EDGE (after apparently a 12 hour game session???)

shipping just got more expensive

make dollhouse big yall!!! this game rocks!!! (also if you do i get to do so loooots of cool supplemental layout work)

Triangle Agency crowdfunding stretch goal The House Edge is here, and it has grown far beyond its initial conception as a crossover with FIST.

LAST 48 HOURS OF THE FUND!!! Dollhouse is at $17K, it makes us $3K away from solo rules and $8K away from me being able to work on this full-time! If you're at all interested in supporting my work, or want to try new ttrpgs, please consider checking out the page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/125...

Of course @kodasea.bsky.social and @shilly.co are back on art and design!! We're hoping to crowdfund a physical edition with a set of playing cards later this year. You'll have to make do with just these teasers for now, but we have sooo much more planned.

the haunted table team is really cooking over here!! descend into the agency's vault of paranormal anomalies in this new ttrpg-crossover-playing-card-roguelike-dungeon-crawler (w logo & card designs by me 😌)

I am of the strong opinion that more ttrpgs should kiss

Oooooooooh

Please go check this project out. @hauntedtable.games and @claymorerpgs.bsky.social both make amazing games and I’m so hyped about this!!!
