So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

“Roses are red” Or so it said on the card; “Man from Nantucket…” OK — self promotion is hard. SIGIL & SHADOW is on sale at the moment. www.ospreypublishing.com/us/sigil--sh... (Also available on DTRPG and Amazon) #TTRPG #hashtag

@jonmarkhicks.bsky.social I have a dumb lore question about PRESSURE — what is the estimated time to travel from Earth Orbit (Pacific Station) to Mars?

I really love the current Chromatic Shadows (+ Companion) but I’m REALLY looking forward to the complete version Kris has been working on. Mechanically rests somewhere between old Shadowrun and uh, “old” nWoD? And I love the cyberpunk with very WEIRD, yet subtle, occult vibe.

What I’m up to lately: Been getting ready to start some “5 Parsecs from Home”. Been printing out some paper figs by @okumarts.bsky.social and putting together an Obsidian vault to track the crew and encounters. Started turn 1; have the details of the first encounter ready. Will play it tonight!

This is pretty damn impressive! SIGIL & SHADOW uses milestone advancements, with the intent for a “full” campaign to be played over a dozen or so sessions. Or you can pace it out as needed, and I’m happy to see such a long journey make its end! #ttrpg #SIGILANDSHADOW @ospreygames.bsky.social

It’s my borfday so I’m having some friends over tonight and CRACKING THIS BAD BOY OPEN. Dear @stevejacksongames.bsky.social — may I PLEASE have a special birthday rules calling for tonight!?

So, I don’t own HeroQuest: First Light (yet)… but a friend mentioned how the first quest felt pretty punishing to newcomers. So, I loaded it up on the app and played rules-as-written (no house rules or homebrew). Yeah, it was pretty brutal 😳 Most of the party staggered out on their last bp.

It’s been a long summer. About to be back on my bullshit playing solo HeroQuest. Just spruced up my HQ “Dashboard” in Obsidian. Also acquired a foldable puzzle table (with trays!) so I can have plenty of space without having to contend for space at the kitchen table.

Can of Worms time: Hey, fuck you — a lot of us use em dashes because our neurospicy brains go a mile a minute. Hunting down writers and blasting them because “ChatGPT uses it” is kinda fucky. Like, no shit, it’s trying to mimic our styles. Aim your guns at the thief and not the victims please, kthx

I’m still not terribly thrilled with the Switch 2 account experience (explaining to my kid that our Animal Crossing island isn’t on his device anymore is annoying). But I will say: Mario Kart World is a pretty fun game. Also: the upgrades to Breath of the Wild are pretty neat.

We got our hands on a Switch 2. So far I’m pretty annoyed at the transfer process — I did a “local” swap with the hopes of keeping our save files on the OG Switch (which I’m handing off to my son). It kept the profiles connected to an email, but wiped my kid’s profile.

Seven players for Sigil & Shadow last night. Ages ranged from teenagers to late 40s. I am exhausted, but happy to see such a wild cast. I fudged my own rules just because so wanted to see some fun characters thrive. Predominantly Afflicted, Seekers, one Host and one Bloodsucker.

The RPG Gazette did a pretty good review of Sigil & Shadow! I appreciate the time they took to run the game and type out some words about it 🤘 #TTRPG #SigilAndShadow therpggazette.wordpress.com/2025/06/06/f...

For once I would love my hometown to NOT make headlines for something awful. This is not that time. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

My brother passed away Friday morning from complications related to cancer (which he only discovered a few weeks ago). I joke that he’s the “older twin brother” (by like 10 years). Literally everything I’m about — writing, RPGs, music etc — I got from following his lead. Fuck Cancer.

Shadowrun campaign idea: Mercurial, Total Eclipse, One Stage Before. Were there any other music related runs for early editions? (Tagging @nystul.bsky.social for wizardly wisdom)

My urge to kick the tires on ol’ #4E D&D came from playing HeroQuest solo mode and Five Leagues from the Borderlands, reminding me that skirmish heavy games can still be fun. Anyway, revisiting the DMG made me realize this edition had stuff that was ready for me, before I was ready for it.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a little kid

So here’s the #4E library rebuild. I’m focusing on mostly hard copies of player-facing rules. I’m lacking Martial Power 2, Psionic Power and Primal Power before I’m satisfied. Happy that most of these I picked up cheap from eBay or Half Price Books.

Ended up ordering a softcover copy of Heroes of the Feywild for #4E D&D off POD/DTRPG. WoTC is really leaving some money on the table not having the core books of this edition print on demand. This came out great — I would repurchase a lot of the player/power books in this format for table use

Hey y’all — 36 hours to go and @dicemonkey.itch.io is just short of funding his awesome game! They just added sponsoring community copies as an add-on… can y’all make the dreams of adventuring the Riverlands a reality? www.kickstarter.com/projects/dic... #ttrpg

We've got 1200 to go, and only about 3 days to do it. I wish I could say I'm optimistic. But any help would be appreciated. We're so close to making this a reality! Please help share this KS far and wide. #TTRPG #RPG #IndieRPG

Mail call today — partying like it’s 2010. Funny thing is the D&D Essentials line was when we quit purchasing 4E products. Who needs it, when we had the rest? Well, half our party last weekend were Essentials characters, and they played awesome. Decided to bargain hunt.

Last few weeks has been pretty awful. More home repairs, family health issues, I personally had to struggle between my doc and pharmacy to refill heart & brain meds. So it felt good to visit old friends and run some #4E #DND last night. Lots of laughs, homemade pizzas, and lots of dice rolling.

Waking up to see Cory Booker still going is a fire I so badly needed this morning.

An RPG by a great dude that I’ve been waiting on for a minute! Also: has David Okum minifigs as a stretch goal. Would love to adventure in this world and see where the rivers take us — consider backing it?

We have a brand new trailer announcing the full launch date for our squad tactics heist RPG: May 15th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cum... If you like games like XCOM 2, Shadowrun, Wasteland 3, or any tactical RPGs, hope you'll take a look (& please repost 🙏)! #TurnBasedThursday #GamingNews #Gaming

A DELTA GREEN HUMBLE BUNDLE is coming March 20. It will have EVERYTHING. Its purpose is 2-fold: -To raise a warchest so Arcdream can side-step these stupid fucking tariffs and not charge more. -To raise money (again) for Direct Relief Ukraine, because Fuck Trump and Putin. Join the conspiracy.

Pretty much going to share this every time it’s back in stock because it’s awesome.

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights. Schools must hold firm against the Trump administration's censorship attempts.

Not thrilled but also: I don’t hate it. Also like I told someone on Discord: I’m posting less to impress and more to show I do take breaks from doom scrolling.

Today I'm giving y'all a write up about Gravaillon’s Solo Mode for HeroQuest. Was a really fun way to explore the HQ board game on my own time, with added depth between quests and without requiring an app! #HeroQuest #SoloGaming chaosgrenade.com/my-solo-hero...

Posting for a friend They know who they are 🫡

Really happy with how this guy turned out! First time using ink to color the “spell” effect and I’m pleased as punch. Also: just ran my kid through an improv dungeon crawl using HeroQuest figs and Loke Battlemats. Gonna call this a damn good Sunday.

TL;DR — Things suck right now so my blog is going to focus on the adventures of a grown man playing elf games alone. chaosgrenade.com/solo-gaming-...

Started a Five Leagues from the Borderland campaign today. Go figure my first event is discovering an ancient ruin and going on a delve. Got swarmed by undead and awakened an Infernal Spawn. Ended up fleeing to the exit after hitting the objectives. No casualties, but a couple wounded.

Jérôme M. has been working on a tarot-based “solo mode” for SIGIL & SHADOW! Currently only available in French, you can check out the project here: pulpum.itch.io/sigil-shadow... #SigilAndShadow

A really nice, story-first approach to tabletop gaming that fits many settings. Plus: Zac is good people. Back this TTRPG Zine!

So, I haven’t painted a humanoid character/non-mech in ages (literally decade+) Also haven’t painted since starting Wellbutrin. Was pleased how ol’ Legolas turned out here. (Now with Alt-Text)

Yeah, this is the one
