WIP [ #Art / #Comms / #TTRPG ]

I was wondering what was missing from this and I remembered I forgot to say I was a game designer, whoops

these texts from the shooter are literally unreal

Very, very happy to announce that Ironbound Shadows, a third-party narrative for #LancerRPG, will release in full on October 1st! In this three-mission series, step into the role of undercover mercenaries on the Dawnline Shore, tasked to stop a fascist paramilitary from reigniting civil war. #ttrpg

In a world where everything is getting ai sloppified I actually think games that take stances on their design and are uncompromising with intended experience are one of the most valuable things that can exist. Silksong's difficulty and lack of "QOL" mechanics is good and important

How about that they finally found a way to make it an excuse after a lot of mental gymnastics, which would have always happened it’s their playbook

My next TTRPG is out! WETRUNNER is a cyberpunk TTRPG about elite criminals stealing fish in a post-climate-change, eternal-summer world where they're status symbols for the rich:

"they're going to use this as an excuse for even harsher crackdowns" you mean the people who are covering up a pedophile ring and who also deployed the army and ICE to repress need an excuse to do bad shit? If they needed an excuse it would have stopped them before.

Now more than ever you need to build up your own little network of artists you know so you can commission them when you need art, AI art scammers are EVERYWHERE and they suck more than before, some are tracing AI art to fool people now lmfao.

Late to the party, but lets also be real: if you have a project and you need funds to pay for your thing, that's not gonna happen at the cover art stage. What I mean by this is that you can put out your project with placeholders public domain shit as a cover or with just plain text.

When it's all said and done, you're just staring at yourself in a broken mirror covered in blood. Adrenaline ebbs away and all you're left with is a fucked up bathroom and aching bones. Shame. You liked this place. A commission for @eldjester.bsky.social's SHIRTLESS ON A ROOFTOP

Check it out here!

Shoutout to the people who pay for Free/PWYW games on itchio. You're the real heroes.

Alright, my dearies. Here we go. Join us for the ride? www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Game design thoughts of the day: A lot of games struggle to make your character creation decisions matter when it comes to what you DON'T focus on. It is, more or less, a given that a player will try and do what they made their character good at, but what about what their character is bad at?

Understated bit here, sometimes you gotta just not listen to some feedback, and you gotta learn to live with people being upset because of that. Receiving feedback ain't about being a crowd-pleaser sometimes, and its an important thing to learn to avoid doing.

This is the one guys, trust, we found a use for AI *I look at the line, its going down* We'll figure something out guys, its not a bubble, its not gonna burst! *I glance at the room, the shareholders are getting hungry, and they look at me like i'm food, because capital hungers* What if we tried th-

SOAR, or Shirtless on a Rooftop, by JesterWorks, is a ttrpg that seeks to emulate the various feels of Beat'Em Up games, maybe throw your weight around in a fight and impress a couple folks along the way.

We hope you'll still support us through this delay - it's tough on everybody as we were doing a massive push to the finish line here, and now we're looking around like zombies. But you'll get more game, more polish, and we'll try to make it worth your while. Still would've liked to fight Silksong.

2025 Political Rising Stars To Keep An Eye On

Let's talk about interesting stuff shadowrun 5e does because i'm a bit bored, i'll start: I think tying initiative to "reactions" was actually a really cool and interesting decision. For those unaware, you roll for initiative every "round" in shadowrun, and use that score if you do reactions

Release date! Release date! As announced this morning in ~Indie World Japan~ Demonschool is coming September 3rd! We have been working really hard on this. We hope you will enjoy it.

It's finally time - Iphigenia at Midnight's incredible cover by @tfinnbarr.bsky.social has released along with the 0.5.0 draft. He was an absolute joy to work with, and I can't say enough how thrilled I am with having this as the headliner for my work. 0.5.0 devlog below: #Lancer #LancerRPG #ttrpg

0.75 is now OUT In this update, I added a bunch of censors to please the payment processors because sex is wrong and icky, and there is def NO WAY to find an uncensored version of my game ANYWHERE, not even ON MY DISCORD. Anyway, have fun with it! It comes with some new cool art too!

Seeing some discourse online about pdf prices being real and expensive, so let me throw my hat in the ring: Actually most pdfs are underpriced to hell for how much they require, and while I get not wanting to spend 70 bucks on a set of two pdfs, thinking its too much is actually a bit dumb

Its very funny the way people talk about Final Destination movies like these deaths can be avoided if you just "drop to the ground or don't throw the pasta out of the window" like that's gonna help, way to miss the point of the movie: you don't really beat death by being clever or safe at all.

Do you think this is too much still, did my best at censoring this, the payment processors won't find a problem with this surely

FAITH

Me and who

Glad I didn't go ahead with my "tits out" update for SOAR yet, but I want it to be clear: You will be getting that version, one way or another, it probably won't be through Itch, but you will get it. And I also will not stop getting art in line with that vision, now more than ever tbh.

I'm opening up slots for commissions! Send me a message if you would like one for yourself.

itch delists and bans countless explicit games under pressure from its payment processors, blames anti-porn group Collective Shout

Two things can be true at once: 1). Payment processors bear more responsibility for this than the sites they're pressuring 2). Itch's complete radio silence on this is grotesquely inadequate and irresponsible, and there is no amount of smol-beaning that papers that over

It’s so crazy to be like “we had to act fast to comply with the suddenly and unexpected demands” bro people were writing articles about how this was going to happen to itch like a year ago

Okay, so to be clear, you knew this was coming down the pike some 3-4 months ago, and your plan was to A). not notify anyone about this in advance because ????????????? and B). slam the changes in on a random Wednesday evening in July and wait multiple hours before finally issuing a statement

check this fucking shit out: pigsriot.itch.io/blood-money i wrote a guide for the hit TTRPG, Lancer, that teaches you how to run a mercenary campaign. basically just an upjumped third party splat, but with a dash of that pigsriot magic im told is a little offputting #lancerrpg #lancer #ttrpg

THE HUNTER

"Hexagons are bestagons" makes a lot more sense as a snobby mindset when you realize how painful every single online hex tool thing is, if you don’t get a good user experience out of it at least you can pretend to still be proud

Best not wake her up, I don't think she'd take it well. #art
