Screaming Metal: Vector Soul is my solo, juggling-act of a mecha game, where you play either as a pilot, taking missions and getting fucked by your handler, or as the handler, waging political war and sending your pilots on missions that fuck them. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

It's the start of the year and that means I'm looking for work! If you need help with your upcoming TTRPG project, I'm your guy. I can provide consulting on your game, or commissioned writing! Check out this page for details, and then reach out! gilarpgs.com#hireme

Miss Session 1 of Hellwhalers: Paved with Good Intentions? The VOD Highlight is here www.twitch.tv/videos/26647... Next session will be at the same time, same channel on January 14th. A strange person on an island holding a lever seems to has awakened memories for those on the Emperor...

From hell’s heart I stab at thee. Hellwhalers Part 2 is happening now at twitch.tv/thetipsytiger

A tale of playtesting and how you don’t really know what mechanics work until you bring ones that don’t work to your table, maybe more than once

Outer box needs a little TLC, but my copy arrived and I'm eager for some taured poker

You have gathered to revive someone recently deceased. Will the ritual be successful? What will you sacrifice? Lay the bones and find out in Come Out From Your Grave by Basil Wright, one of the amazing TTRPGs included in the Griot Anthology! #ttrpg thoughtcrimegames.it...

Working on art for Last Kiss and I open up my reference doc to be greeted by a cheerleader covered in blood. I forgot I had put it on top because I wasn't sure how to use it yet. I had a real moment of surprise. If you want to play a bloody cheerleader preorder at LastKissGame.com :D #ttrpg #pbta

I specialize in typography and information design (layout), but I also do typography-based covers, iconography and 3D modelling. I'm knowledgeable in prepress, printing, GREP for InDesign and I write every now and then, but I'm dangerously funny and insightful.

i'm jaen nighly, a trans illustrator, specializing in b&w art. i'm open for commissions of the fantastic, macabre, & sublime. i'm particularly interested in doing covers, splash pages, posters, & other large pieces. DM or email to get in my queue! 💼 jnb.art ✉️ [email protected] #portfolioday

Where are the best dialogues in ttrpgs happening that *aren’t* centered around a system, creator, or brand? Much love to several spaces that are that, but I’m curious what else is out there.

Unpopular opinion: No one is a warrior. Feudal romanticization of violence has irreparably damaged several generations of men that were born gentle. You were not born with a sword or a gun in your hand.  You were destined for bigger and more meaningful things than to die for an uncaring king.

Spine, by Backwards Tabletop or Asa Donald, is a solo sorta-journaling ttrpg about being a researcher who has inherited a mysterious book from their estranged relative that might be asking for more than they could ever desire...

If you wanna sled down the hill again you gotta carry it uphill in the snow for a while

And she's finally ready! The full text of THE COTTONTAILS, created for @metaparadox.bsky.social's #LitformLARPJam and heavily inspired by #DavidLynch's surreal short film RABBITS, is live! gowanusaurusrex.itch.io/the-cottonta...

Okay, so my second #LARP entry for @metaparadox.bsky.social's #LitformLARPJam, THE COTTONTAILS, may take a little more time than I was hoping. (Holidays, and all.) That said, the page is up and I have a three page preview available for free download! gowanusaurusrex.itch.io/the-cottonta...

I finally put cover art on it, so for #SelfPromoSaturday, I'm talking about my very mini TTRPG, He Doesn't Do Much. This game cannot be played by itself. You have to have another game that has parrying mechanics (or allows parrying) in order to play HDDM. kobanya.itch.io/he-doesnt-do...

in the freeform text boxes i put the following

Gentlepeople, your eyes and ears please! If you'll guide your attention to the stage, you'll see one of this age's wonders... cover art for STEP RIGHT UP, sourced from the imagination of @jnb.art at no insignificant risk! A small traveling carnival, menaced by a dust storm! See it, LIVE!

brewisttabletopgames.itch.io/a-change-is-... Here's a one page game I wrote for design practice. Play as a very hungry larva preparing for their change. Utilizes mechanics similar to depthcrawl procedures. PWYW. I drew the larva.

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀 Venmo: probablyharmless PayPal: theohillwriter at gmail

Needing to finish a pre-tariff Kickstarter through tariffs is looking like it’s going to tank our business savings. It /feels/ like starting over, but I know we’re not. It’s been a stress tho. Trying to make enough to square that, then finish another big project with a tiny budget is daunting.

We see the end of the story. Not our story, but an ending none the less. Come along with us for episode 1 of The Ballad of Heartwork. With @thatsrickperry.bsky.social, @taylorannnx.bsky.social, & @rahrah.bsky.social. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Gearing up for The Thunder Perfect Mind going live on Kickstsrter by posting some of my film influences. If you see something you like, give the KS a follow! 🧵

A topic that comes up with my games is that they seem one way on the page, but then “reveal themselves” when played. This is an intentional part of the design! I think games are a more powerful experience if they don’t show what they’re really doing until you spend some time with them at the table.

i'm available for commissions — personal and commercial work — send me a DM or email [email protected] to talk details. finances are tight and my queue is empty for now, so if you need b&w art, drop me a line

realized #HC2e didn't have a Vending Machine yet so i knocked that out as part of the difficult work of revising the broader Cash section. this stuff is fun to write!

Hey y'all. I had to leave my dayjob recently, so it is a *great* time to buy my games or subscribe to my Patreon. I'm gonna be okay, but I'm out of work until I get something else lined up. I've got a few leads, but things are shaky. My work's at BrewistTabletopGames.itch.io.

patreon.com/MossPowers An update on my 2026 projects at my Patreon, and a teaser zine for patrons. Patreon is one of the most direct ways to help me as a designer, and you'll additionally get periodic looks at rare projects, early drafts, and more. If you like what I do, consider subscribing!

Just going to repost this roughly once a month until it actually happens

after nearly a month (!!!) of waiting, the v2 prototype deck for goblins finally got here. which is good, bc my font sizing is waaay off. now it’s time to playtest and make some cool game collateral (printable playmat anyone??)

SO excited to see Jocelyn return to the captain’s wheel in another voyage of HELLWHALERS! And I cannot wait to meet this new crew and see what wretched sinners have fallen from grace.

Just in time for New Year's Eve, here's my take on Jean-Paul Sartre's classic French drama NO EXIT... but in #LARP form! This is my first attempt at the genre, written for @metaparadox.bsky.social's #LitformLARPJam over on itch.io

Starting on Wednesday, January 7th… Hell is other people. twitch.tv/thetipsytiger @helpactionneeded.bsky.social @maiasgameroom.bsky.social @castlewrites.bsky.social @ perchance2dream Hellwhalers is by @brewisttabletop.bsky.social and @boguscheesecake.bsky.social

I hadn't posted about it yet, but I got my copy of HELLPIERCERS recently, and damn if it isn't a rippin' game. The art is wild, the layout is gorgeous, and the rules are maximalist tactical goodness. Excellent work from @sandypuggames.bsky.social and the team. sandypuggames.itch.io/hellpiercers

If you’re trans you gotta survive and thrive. If you think you’re trans but are scared of what that means for you, you gotta survive and thrive. If you’re trans and scared right now, it’s ok, but you gotta be brave. I adore you my siblings in love. Let us keep going. Be the light to someone else.

Happy new year! 🎉🎊 They're not gonna make our future for us. We must make it ourselves.

Tonight is TTRPG NewYears with my partner and a couple friends. We're choosing between Trashtronautica or Cozy Town. We'll be TTRPGing through midnight here on Pacific time, so I hope all the lil gay ttrpg people in my phone have a good and safe holiday.

HIGH AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE Rifle through your pockets to figure out your next move: - loose change: you HOLD UP THE LINE OH GOD EVERYONE CAN TELL - keys: if you forget to manually breathe you will DIE - rolling paper: you have to ACT NORMAL or the clerk will think you're SHOPLIFTING

There should be a new tradition where every new year's eve to new year's day cis people give trans people money For prosperity and good fortune and sin atonement and good vibes

Once I have project budget freed up, I wanna get some developmental editing work on Infinite Reverie. It's /good/, but it could use some sprucing. I've just gotta finish out some stuff I've got tied up from 2025 first.

Something I've been quite enjoying as I finish up 2025 is developmental editing. So if you're looking for a developmental editor in 2026 for a game... FUCKING PAY ME LET ME BE YOUR SICKO FOR THIS HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME

Looking for an animator who can make custom 90s anime intro videos for Wreck League™️ Premier Mech Combat Entertainment

I did improvised singing??? In an Actual Play??? for the first time ever and I didn't suck ass and I'm not going to shut up about it anytime soon thank you. Go listen to Last Train to Bremen on One Shot and then go congratulate @rpgmajor.bsky.social on their major arc finale for their campaign!!!

Each player has $2000, a hardware catalog, and a Toyota Corolla. Make the most obscene battlecar you can manage on budget with the catalog. Think oil slicks, circular saws, and other 007 shit. Discuss whose car wins the demolition race.

2025 was definitely not my year, but there were wins. Mostly clawing my way out of the hole that 2024 cast me into. Crowdfunded two major projects well above goal. Spent a lot of the year making art and loving. I can always complain, but I won’t here. It was a year of appreciation.

Sit in a circle with 5+ people. For 30 seconds, communicate only with your eyes. Then turn around and cast a vote for who should be voted out of the circle. The last 2 people have to smooch (good ending) or hold their breath longer than the other to win (bad ending).

“Bugs Island” mapmaking game. pour a big ass glass of juice on the floor. draw its outline around it. leave to dry. you’ll get bugs. they are the inhabitants of the island you’ve made.

THE DEATH OF MME EGLANTINE Invite three friends over to your house to play a game, "The Death of Mme Eglantine". Tell them you've invited four players. See how long you can keep your friends waiting for the final player. The first player to leave your house wins.

put a shuffled deck of cards in one pocket, and as many dice as you can fit in your other. when you encounter another duelist, reach in your pockets & 3-2-1 draw a card and roll a die. what you pull from your left pocket is your defense, your right pocket is your attack. winner gets the spoils
