Last year, I ran a poll to get an idea of the state of the TTRPG community. This year, instead of doing a bunch of separate posts, I’m creating a Google Form to collect responses in one place. I’m currently coming up with questions to ask. What do you think I should ask? #ttrpgs #ttrpgdev

Just so you know, you can now store PNGs on birds. youtu.be/hCQCP-5g5bo?...

While writing my TTRPGs, I’ve found that I sometimes write up an idea, decide it’s bad, and just delete it. Instead of throwing those ideas away, I have started dumping them in a doc so that one day they might end up being useful. #ttrpgdev #ttrpg

While playtesting my 1700s TTRPG tonight, I finally got the combat system to feel like more than just “take turns punching until something dies.” The next step is to think about/fix the million small things I found during the session. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #GameDesign #TTRPGdev

To celebrate this most spooky of months, I am planning on doing (and hopefully finishing) 2 TTRPG game jams. Folklore Jam 2025 - itch.io/jam/folklore... Random Prompts TTRPG Jam - itch.io/jam/the-rand... #ttrpg #folklore #ttrpgDev #gameJam #tabletopGames #IndieTTRPG

My rework of Fast Food Fascists was featured in the latest OSR News Roundup. Thanks to @thirdkingdom.bsky.social for including it. You can read the full newsletter here: www.sabregamesandcards.com/post/osr-new... #TTRPG #IndieRPG #IndieTTRPG

I’ve remastered my free, 3-page TTRPG Fast Food Fascists. I hope you enjoy this remastered version and hopefully you'll tear the tyrants down. rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/fast-food-fa... #indiettrpg #ttrpgcommunity #indiegames #tabletop

As part of todays TTRPG writing I created a Latin prayer for the players to discover while exploring a library in a gothic castle. #ttrpg #indiettrpg #ttrpgdev #gothic #worldbuilding

I ran the second round of playtests for my 1700s horror TTRPG last night. It was a joy to spook my players with humanoid shadows and very clear Dracula / Nosferatu influence. #Playtest #IndieTTRPG #TTRPGDesign #TTRPGCommunity

As part of my current 1700s TTRPG playtests, I needed some painted tablets for a church, so I created these pieces as visual aids. #Gothic #TTRPG #TTRPGdev #indieTTRPG

Been working again today on my 1700s TTRPG and decided to treat myself by listening to the Sharpe soundtrack. If you haven’t seen Sharpe, it’s well worth a watch, especially if you enjoy those cheap yet charming TV shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuQh... #sharpe #ttrpgdev

Like my previous works, Fast Food Fascists features the manipulation of historic art. This time I used "The Milky Way" by Maximilian Wolf. Remember, if you suck at drawing like I do, you can always edit royalty-free art instead of resorting to AI-generated wank. #ttrpgdev ##ttrpg

I have added to my remaster of my TTRPG "Fast Food Fascists" a printer-friendly version of the PDF. So now you don't have to burn through ink to print it out. Get "Fast Food Fascists" for free here - rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/fast-food-fa... #ttrpg #indiettrpg #ttrpgcommunity #tabletoprpg

So I have recently started reworking one of my older small TTRPGs. It’s been nice to step away from gothic horror for a while and work on a project with different themes. #TTRPG #TTRPGDev #IndieTTRPG

I've been pondering a ttrpg idea this evening. A game where a medieval pope declares on their deathbed that the world is ending and the players are factions in the world trying to prevent or ignoring that it is happening. I was thinking it'd have an Arthurian / Crusaders / 28 years later vibe.

I’ve finally finished drafting all the symbols I’ll need for a upcoming TTRPG session. This is a note the group will find while exploring. #ttrpgdev #indiettrpg #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgdesign

If you ever wonder what most TTRPGs feel like to non-TTRPGers. This video captures that mood perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=plGN... #TTRPG #Dimension20 #OnABus

Currently designing a set of symbols similar in function to those found in the game Chants of Sennaar for my latest TTRPG project. There’s something fascinating about codes and hidden messages, especially when they can’t be cracked with simple letter analysis. #codes #ttrpgdev #puzzles

I finally finished the first round of playtesting for my next TTRPG project, and it's been super useful. It really helped me see which parts of the game felt wrong, though it was nice to see that the core of the TTRPG worked and was fun to play. #playtest #indieTTRPG #ttrpgcommunity

While working on my TTRPG The Grand Melee, the feeling I was trying to capture is exactly what I found in Dequitem’s videos - which I somehow have only just discovered. #indiettrpg #youtube #duelling www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aniz...

A little meme that made me think of knights and funny little guys. Enjoy #Knights

There is something very satisfying about physical media. I recently started collecting DVDs, and the whole ritual of going to a store, picking out what I want, and then putting it into a machine to watch has such a nice, ritualistic feeling to it. #PhysicalMedia

Finally got around to making a character sheet for my next project. I am mostly happy with this first draft, though I’m sure it’ll go through a few revisions during playtesting. #indiettrpg #playtesting #ttrpgdev #ttrpg #indiegames #tabletop

I’ve finally finished the super rough draft of my 1790s TTRPG. Now it’s just a matter of refining the writing, deciding on a layout, finding artwork and playtesting it. One day I am sure it will finally see the light of day .....

In another round of weird wiki articles check out this list of Internet memes by year of introduction en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor... #Wikipedia

Over the weekend I went to a local games convention and picked up a couple of great TTRPGs. I got Electric Bastionland by Chris McDowall. I’ve been hearing about his work for a while, and I am looking forward to running it. #Bastionland #ttrpg

Just thought I'd share @blerdydisposition.bsky.social review of several of this year's One-Page RPG Jam entries. I was even lucky enough to get an honourable mention. Give it a watch here: youtu.be/iSf-m1vI6AM?... #ttrpg #onepagettrpg #1pRPGjam #onepagerpgjam2025

Models 31 to 38 for this year are a squad of riflemen. Not my best work, but they’ll serve the purpose I have in mind for them. #miniature #painting #miniaturepainting #craft #tabletop

Over the weekend I finally finished the rough, shitty first draft of my next project. All it took was for me to get a bit of a cold and to enter a feverish state of writing. It probably will need rewriting, but for now it will do. Anyway, here is a totally real image of me writing this weekend.

I learnt today that the term “biology” wasn’t coined until 1802. So instead of using it as a skill name, I’ve decided to go with the phrase “Natural World” instead. All these little changes, I hope, help my TTRPGs feel more authentic to the worlds I am trying to present. #ttrpgdev #indiettrpg

So over this weekend and a bit, I went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was funny, amazing, and exhausting. I thought I would share some of the best things I saw. #EdinburghFringe #FringeFestival #Comedy #Theatre

Today I’ve been thinking about my one-page TTRPG, The Grand Melee, and what I should make next. Looking through all the knight artwork has given me a desire now to make a game about knights and medieval chivalry. #ttrpgdev #indiettrpg

For folks participating in the One Page RPG Jam 2025, any specific games they wanna highlight or talk to me about? Asking cause well... you know what time is it. 👁️ #1pRPGjam #onepagerpgjam2025 itch.io/jam/one-page...

Remember, even if you're terrible at drawing like I am but still want your TTRPG to look great, just take historical royalty-free art and go to town with it. For my latest TTRPG, The Grand Melee, I got the page border from an old religious artwork. #TTRPG #fuckAI #ttrpgdev #art #IndieTTRPG

Like most of my projects, my latest TTRPG, "The Grand Melee", contains a collection of royalty-free art. Here's a collage showcasing the art I used. Get The Grand Melee here - rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/the-grand-me... #ttrpg #indiettrpg #onepagettrpg #art #knights #ttrpgdev

I have just published my first entry for the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social - The Grand Melee. Each player plays as a knight who has joined a Grand Melee in hopes of seizing victory and claiming the rewards that come with it. Get it for free here - rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/the-grand-me... #ttrpg

Today someone asked me some questions about a TTRPG I had made. It was nice to spend some time reflecting on your design choices and defending your reasoning behind them. #ttrpgdev #GameDesign #RPGDesign #TTRPGCommunity

This week for @leaflet.pub's summer pub club, I let @bastionland.bsky.social's Mythic Bastionland inspire me create & publish an early version of a set of hex tiles based on paintings from The Met collection: jonasmerlin.itch.io/the-met-coll... #ttrpg #osr

Over the weekend, my friend painted this delightful image on my arm. I thought you all might enjoy it. #BodyArt #Art

It's amazing how writing a TTRPG can take you from writing rules to suddenly watching a bearded man explain 1700s repeating firearms. #TTRPGDev #TTRPG #RPGDesign #IndieTTRPG

I've finally completed the first draft of my complex character creation system for my 1700s horror TTRPG. While testing it, I created several characters, with my favourite being a star-obsessed military officer. #TTRPGDev #TTRPG #RPGDesign #IndieTTRPG
