The latest edition of the DMV Games Catalog is nearly ready! This one features 22 (!!!) local ttrpg and board game designers. We will be getting this out to stores and @ipr.bsky.social soon!

Been noticing that the player-facing questions that I'm most intrigued by in storygames really hit the right level of presupposition; they not only help you tell *a* story, they also show you the specific type of story the system wants to help you tell. (But with enough blanks to make it your own)

Indigenous needle-workers from 12,000 years ago, sewing tailored clothes to fit snug & keep people warm. And you thought Otzi's 5,300 yr old clothes were a big deal. (Tenino, Nuumu, Cayuse, Umatilla, & Walla Walla folks in what is now called Bend, Oregon) www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Dante is lovely to work with, highly recommend commissioning them!

discovered some life-changing ttrpg tech during friday’s session: after taking a mid session break, before getting back into the scene, do a sports style locker room interview with each player (in character). it’s 1) funny 2) focusing 3) immediately and personally characterizing

this sounds rad as hell 👀👀👀

Monstrous Detectives, an investigative one-shot Can ghosts be murdered? The ghostly detective agency takes on a case to try to find the perpetrators before they become the next targets, in this Descended from the Queen game to be published by Plotbunny Games! youtu.be/v5tuNtxZTWM

I haven't seen this going around much, so if you missed the Discord desktop recent update they added in native support for dynamic timestamps within the client by using the "@time" command. No more going outside for unix timestamp conversions. It's really flexible too, try it out. ✨

this is Very Exciting News 👀 (in particular to me, a huge fantastical circus enjoyer)

If I had one tip to share after doing a LOT of long form GMless narrative play last year it would be this: When you wrap up a scene or a bunch of brainstorming, have someone (probably the note-taker) quickly review what the final decision or outcome was and make sure everyone's on the same page.

In 2026 I hope to make a positive difference for how people perceive & talk about fat characters in TTRPGs - Include “no body shaming/fat phobia” in lines and veils. Bring it up in your session zero - Ask artists to give your character a double chin or belly. if it’s not right give clear feedback

Commissions with book cover illustrations for @tea-amat.bsky.social It was a great pleasure to draw such charismatic and interesting characters and their surroundings! #illustration #coverart #art #ttrpg #commissions

Was just reminded of one of my favorite north-star questions to ask about a TTRPG character I'm fleshing out: Why aren't they paying taxes?

Let's get an indie ttrpg HYPE TRAIN going and recommend some cool games for people to buy/gift. If you're a small #ttrpg creator (or there's an indie game you really love) drop a quick pitch and a link below. 🚅🎲🎲🎲🌟🌟

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror. Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after. Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.) I’m researching 🤓

One of my Thirsty Sword Lesbian games has already filled but there's a couple left spots in the one on Saturday!
