Reading back through all of my notes for Monsters & Myths 2E to make sure the terms are consistent. E.g. I want to make sure that when I say 'Giant Flying Centipedes' I don't sometimes say 'Flying Giant Centipedes'. Or just 'Centipedes'. #indiettrpg #gamedevnotes

What's the funniest way your party has handled a dragon encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

I believe that everyone deserves the option to build a sustainable, fulfilling business from their passions. That's what I'm all about. #indiettrpg #caribbeanfolklore #playingcards #tacticalnarrative

I think for TTRPGs supply exceeds attention, not demand. There's more free and PWYW content now than ever before. They are harder to find because $100k projects have outsized microphones that are boosted by algorithms built for money & math, not vibes.

Awesome playtest/actual play for Monsters & Myths 2E last night🕺 The good: The first official adventure is NOT a neat 5-session mini adventure, but a proper extended campaign! 👏 The less-good: Forgot a rule & caused a Total Player Kill🤦 Because of that: Players discovered the time loop #playtest

The Domain Schema came about because I wanted 'magical abilities' to have a source or reason without hand-waving' i.e. where do abilities come from, their origin or source. At first, there were three Domains, originally I called them Body, Psionics, and Tech. #designernotes #gamedev #indiettrpg

That @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social video about 'Natural versus Game Language in RPGs' has inspired me to add the Trait cards I designed 10 months ago to the 2E rulebooks. Wish I'd thought of that for 1E 😅 #inspired #indiettrpg #design

Sound off! Game language or Natural language for TTRPGs youtube.com/clip/UgkxxOk...

I'm looking forward to the day more people are playing Monsters & Myths so that Fan Art Fridays can be a whole thing. For now mark your calendars: today is the day @genyxie.bsky.social got the ball rolling! #indiettrpg #fanart #actualplay

I had a wonderful time running the first official Monsters & Myths one-shot with an amazing & entertaining quartet from @tabletopjamaica.bsky.social! Check it out: youtu.be/i7VGIYxmO1E?... #actualplay #indiettrpg #playtest

Totally worth the listen!

Linked to the 4 pillars of power (The Domains) in Monsters & Myths are Traits. If Domains are origins or sources of power, then Traits represent what a Persona is, rather than what they do. They are the bedrock of the character's potential and physical reality. 🧵 #ttrpg #indiettrpg #gamedesign

Been caught up working on my #indiettrpg system 'Monsters & Myths 2E' so I've missed posting here for a bit. Going to get back to it later today with child-like energy & enthusiasm. For context: #gamedev #zeromath #tacticalnarrative

I like the way this looks. Just wish listed on Steam... now to find time to check out the free demo.

Monsters & Myths is a TTRPG system that uses playing cards, not dice. Playing cards are linked to everything. Let’s start with the four pillars of power: The Domain Schema. The Domain Schema is the building blocks for everything: Biology (♥️), Technology (♦️), Mysticism (♣️), and Mastery (♠️).

Damn it! Fresh out of dice. Only playing cards. And this cybernetic La Diablesse is looking at me funny. Now what...

2 days into 2026 & I'm working on a dynamic character sheet for an upcoming Session 1 playtest tomorrow. Crap! Now that I think about it, I should probably upload clips from the Session Zero. Right?

Happy 2026 everybody!

If you're seeing this, I hope your holidays were enjoyable & well spent.

Things that won't fit in the bio (1/4)🧵: It's been 1,041 days since I started Monsters & Myths. Like all 'great' inventions, this is an unintended consequence 😅. I set out to create a magic system for what was supposed to be my first gamelit novel.

Not saying this is linked to the secret history of why my TTRPG doesn't use dice. 😅
