TONIGHT! 🕯️😱 Join us for a chilling one-shot of "The Worst Days" where our incredible cast will form meaningful friendships fast…and fall apart faster. All in support of the Tabletop Arts Fund! 🎲🩸 🕕 6p PDT | 🕗 8p CDT | 🕘 9p EDT 📺 twitch.tv/TABLETOP_AF

Don't stop here! Swing by our feed to learn more about each of this year's selections, the designers, and select commentary from our judges on what makes these games special.

Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

Legend of the Hidden Folk by @lucienneimpala.bsky.social is a rules-lite exploration of a magical fae world -- and themselves. Drawing on the power of oral storytelling, players wield the power of human memory to stop the encroaching Shadow Realm from unraveling the world of the Hidden Folk.

Runecycle by @hiskih.fi blends OSR minimalism with modern narrative design, casting the player as the wielder of a Rune. This fragment of creation can defy fate -- use it to explore Monumnents in search of a way to break the cycle in this fast, melancholic journey inspired by GRIS and Neva.

Source of Dreams by Sekayi Edwards is a divinatory storytelling TTRPG that blends introspection with reflective practice. Players journey across an allegorical hex map, using narrative prompts rooted in psychology and personal growth to explore the path toward a meaningful life goal.

We Wander Beneath Radiant Lights by @percypropa.bsky.social is a solo roleplaying game about memory, penance, and reckoning. Once a Sister of the moon goddess Celestine, you rebelled—and were cast into shadow to face your past. Now, you must navigate a labyrinth shaped by guilt and divine judgment.
