Dragonfly Motel is a TTRPG about surrendering to surreal impulses and drifting through dream logic weirdness that almost makes sense. Then suddenly, absurd elements align and form something coherent and strangely satisfying. On Kickstarter in February 2026. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

I was in a tea mood today, so I threw together a pamphlet for Windsoul. It contains random tables for tea house characteristics, proprietors, teas, meals, and games. Pay what you want. ceruleanfive.itch.io/teahouse-tid...

I added the Master's Screen, Brewery Abby, and Zalathrag's Sky Isle.

That's a really cool collection!

one of the great tragedies of making a book is that the time you are most excited about it (when you are in the middle of making the damn thing) is, necessarily, the time when no one else is reading it

11. A recent arrival in my mailbox after its crowdfund, KNIGHT FORLORN is a moody Soulslike collaborative storytelling game about a lone knight on a futile quest in a fucked up world. It’s gorgeous, though I haven’t cracked it open yet to review in detail.

I read your publications in the bio and missed a comma @blackfiskpub.bsky.social so telling you that I would be very intrigued by "Leopards Eat Your Face In Orbit"

Alright I’m no longer selling to the US on Pit Trap Shop, because the Swedish Post just announced that they will no longer send packages there. I’ll probably have to refund any unfulfilled orders I have because this begins tomorrow and I’m out of the country until Monday. Thanks Trump.

Det finns ett globalt rollspelsunder i Sverige som kanske främst symboliseras av Fria Ligan, men kreativiteten som strömmat ur Sthlm Kartell (@nohr.se et al) och @blackfiskpub.bsky.social är så mycket mer och följdeffekten har varit ett sällan skådat gräsrotsskapande.

Sadly, due to presidential fuckery, we currently can’t ship our games to the United States. However, you can get many of them from @ipr.bsky.social , and the PDFs are still pay what you want. Meanwhile, we’re pleased to announce that we now ship to Brazil! 🇧🇷 blackfiskpublishing.com/store/

This is a really fun system powered almost entirely by “Yes And” We built a little world on the fly that felt lived in and real and I would love to explore toxic masculinity more with Blood Feud in the future! (my cast was AMAZING!) @blackfiskpub.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8WH...

People have made a bunch of cool stuff for Heroes of Cerulea. We've tried to gather everything here: itch.io/c/4897277/he... If we're missing yours, let us know!

This is so cool!

Heroes of Cerulea from @blackfiskpub.bsky.social is one of those games that does genre emulation well. It isn't just the art, the "NES menu system" that govern the actions you can take in a dungeon is wonderful. It feels like you're playing Zelda 2... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Windsoul is a tabletop role-playing game about outcasts venturing through a vibrant world, weaving tales of daring discovery. New version of Essentials out now, with an additional adventure. Pay what you want. Plus, you can now get the set as physical pamphlets! blackfiskpublishing.com/store
