Our next two events! Play some TTRPGs in Tokyo! www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve... www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve...

one of my players designed and printed this dial for ironsworn (we’re playing sundered isles) and it’s so convenient and satisfying to use we had a great time this session with lots of exciting rolls

I had a great group of delvers last night at @tokyorpgsociety.bsky.social 's Infinity #ttrpg gaming night at Infinity Books! A big thank you to the owners for hosting and Jeremy for organizing! I look forward to running more @theonyxpath.bsky.social's Earthbane Cycle games in the future!

My wonderful wife @kasumikotonoha.bsky.social (main illustrator for the Sutra of Pale Leaves) and I are considering a livestream sometime this week to reminisce about KaijuCon and the Sutra project. Ask us anything anonymously at this link. (English/日本語 OK!) #TRPG marshmallow-qa.com/kasumikotono...

Having had the chance to play RuneQuest for the first time with Chaosium’s Andrew, I couldn’t help but appreciate the depth of the world building and thought that went into designing a respectful facsimile of a Bronze Age that could have been. Plus of course, you know, interceding gods.

昨日のイベントに来てくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました！ たくさんの方々が楽しんでいる様子を見られて、とても嬉しかったです。 これからも日本各地のTRPGコミュニティをつなぐイベントをサポートしていきたいと思います！ #怪獣コン #KaijuCon

It’s underway! KaijuCon Nagoya 2025 has started with the release festivities for The Sutra of Pale Leaves! And what’s that in Michael O’Brien’s hands…?👀 @singularitysons.bsky.social @chaosium.bsky.social

I’m boothing at #asianboardgamesfestival #abgfmy2025 at 1st Avenue Mall in Penang this weekend! Also trialing something new, a little showcase of tabletop RPGs from across #RPGSEA. If you’re in Penang, come by and check out some indie tabletop RPGs and storygames!

Beating the eldritch horse - but less than 48 hours to KaijuCon Nagoya! Probably going to start early Friday evening with some gaming 👀

Two RPG events here in Tokyo next week on Saturday and Sunday! This time: OSE, Daggerheart and more. Busy month, this July! www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve... www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve...

Just a bit over a week until KaijuCon Nagoya 2025 - a day of Japanese and English tabletop gaming and a celebration of the release of Sutra of Pale Leaves! If you don’t have your ticket yet, grab it! Many TRS members will also be in attendance as players and GMs! sonsofthesingularity.com/kaijucon/

OSR feed offline panic!

The @duckandcrow.bsky.social goodness has arrived, thanks for the message! 😊 Going right on top of the pile of recently arrived things. First impression: Clean formatting, maps in the inside of the dust jacket (usability!)…great start! Coming to a table very soon… PS: We need logo stickers!

TRS is helping out at KaijuCon Nagoya 2025 - a day of Japanese and English tabletop gaming and a celebration of the release of Sutra of Pale Leaves! If you’re interested in attending or running a game, you can find more information on the official homepage: sonsofthesingularity.com/kaijucon/

The history of all hitherto existing D&D-likes is the history of class struggles.

Paid Kriegsspiel: The conversation flows freely at the table until a point of disagreement about outcomes in the fiction emerges between participants. Players then put money on their desired outcome and the richest player gets their way.

Tokyoites, shoutout to providers of good OSR stuff with shipping costs that don’t make you cry.

Shoutout to Two Little Mice. Had an issue with DTRPG PDF fulfillment and got a working link within one day of reaching out. Great customer service!

Next game day in our Tokyo TTRPG rotation. It’s looking to be a big one. Join us if you’re in town! meetu.ps/e/P85Vr/vyL8...

Painted Wastelands, Outgunned Adventure and Troika! drops all in one week, a bountiful delivery harvest indeed.

Asakusa Game Night alert! This Friday we’re gonna have some after-work games. Whether you are are a tourist or living here, we’re welcoming all GMs and players! meetu.ps/e/P5KfM/vyL8...

Less than 48 hours until the next Otsuka Game Day! Come out to play some games with good people as we kick off a series of events proudly sponsored by @chaosium.bsky.social for their 50th anniversary! Some surprises and giveaways are awaiting you in upcoming months… www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve...

Regular Game Day attendee of renown Aki talks about their game Rising Action and the TTRPG scene in Japan!

Nothing to do tonight in Tokyo? Need to get your RPG fix on? Join us at the home of masterful miniatures, Hot Goblin in Asakusa, for an evening of RPGs. They’ve just renovated their space as well and there are free terrain pieces up for grabs! meetu.ps/e/NPtCK/vyL8...

A great module with fantastic cartography is now available again!

Our first open table RPG event in Asakusa in 2025! Come out to the east side of Tokyo for an evening of gaming at Infinity Books, home of thousands of used books (you can buy them! Mmmm...books). More info and signups for players and GMs here: www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve...

ok, ok, you've twisted my arm enough. We'll let you support and love Melsonia in exchange for books: www.melsonia.com/products/fri...

Yo reminder this is happening tonight/later this evening for those in the USA, tomorrow morning for us in SEA!

Idea: A Brindlewood-like where philosophers debate existential issues and establish truths. Sitting in a ceramic jar provides bonuses.

Signups for Otsuka RPG Day on January 18th now open! meetu.ps/e/NJMMj/vyL8... Current games: Ten Candles Black Sword Hack Dungeon Crawl Classics D&D 5e (Add your own game to the list! It’s our biggest monthly open table event! We have more locations, but they are taking a break this month.)

Receiving RPG shipments from overseas Amazon: Forces of nature throw the parcel around, it *might* arrive in one piece, or have more holes than my average plot hook Indie (in this case, @lostpages.bsky.social): Sturdily wrapped tomes that will survive a nuclear exchange, the immovable object

>*graph paper scribbling sound* >YOU'RE NOW PLAYING >*1d4 peasants dying sound* >DUNGEON CRAWL CLASSICS >*eldritch being roaring sound* >FUNNEL ADVENTURES >*explosion* >WHERE WE ROLL STRANGE DICE >*Manowar sample* >THIS AIN'T YOUR FATHER’S D&D >*Black Sabbath - War Pigs starts playing*

Good companion work Good publisher

A while back, I picked up my first DCC modules more or less coincidentally. They were deemed to be “very awesome”. So of course, things escalated to their natural conclusion, and now here we are (Santa came just a tiny bit late I suppose. All is forgiven). #osr #dcc

Aki regularly runs all sorts of games at the TRS game events and they have just released their first TTRPG! Definitely check this one out if you are interested in scratching your anime duel fantasy itch. (Or any other sort of duel itch really)

Rising Action, the first ttrpg I've ever completed, is out now! It's a duet game where you play a pair of rivals having an ever-escalating battle where their past and passions collide. Inspired by action anime/games and uses a deck of playing cards! akis-perspectives.itch.io/rising-action

Been thinking for a while to mash together something discordant where PCs are a bunch of operator types going into any OSR dungeon full of kobolds etc., but the PCs have GUNS with rules for called shots, spray & pray and so on. Ran an Outgunned game with this theme last year, it was good.

Them: "How would you describe your RPG gaming group?" Me:

Together with our 3d printing mastermind friends at hotgoblin.jp we will in 2025 again offer several days each month to host your one-shot or recurring campaign for free in their cool space full of miniature goodness - more details on all the platforms soon, and feel free to ping as well of course!

Pulp Cthulhu just got released in Japanese, eight years after the English release! The content is the same, but as is common for TTRPG books here, it’s a black and white softcover. It’s a smaller format with a few layout changes and a different cover by local artist kurotokusa.

RPG data time! This is a set of the games that were hosted at Tokyo Roleplaying Society events in 2024. Note that for simplicity, several data points have been merged, such as different editions of the same game, or homebrew games into the forked system (we have an active scene of tinkerers).

Right now we are using Meetup for RPG game signups. If anyone has a better (maybe even open source!) solution for this, we’d love to hear about it! Discourse’s calendar doesn’t provide for limiting attendee numbers sadly, and Meetup now allows paying users to jump ahead of the waitlist (not good).

In yesterday's OSE game, the players did not only retreat when they were faced with overwhelming odds, they also spent time in town carousing to hire some retainers to go back with, AND they where then surprised that the monsters were dead, slain by other adventurers, as time had passed.

Otsuka Game Day is back for January - sign up and get your dice warmed up for a year of RPG fun in Tokyo! As always, signups and more info on Meetup and Tavern: www.meetup.com/rpgtokyo/eve... tavern.tokyorpgsociety.com/t/otsuka-rpg...

We’re hosting this year’s last installment of Tokyo’s biggest English-language TTRPG event in just over a week from now! Whether you’re new or returning, looking to play in or run a game, we’d be happy to have you. Signups and more info here: meetu.ps/e/NHGcp/vyL8...

So you’re saying it’s time to post the Tokyo RPG events here again.

Asakusa RPG Night #20 is happening on July 5th! Every first Friday of the month, start your weekend the right way with dice, drinks and delightful books. Grab your seat on Meetup or sign up to run a game via the Tavern community forums. More info here: tavern.tokyorpgsociety.com/t/asakusa-rp...

Two new RPG events in Tokyo next month on June 7th and June 22nd! www.meetup.com/tokyorpg/eve... www.meetup.com/tokyorpg/eve... Signup for tables at the Tokyo RPG Society's Tavern: tavern.tokyorpgsociety.com

We are diversifying from relying purely on external providers to organize our community & games - our Discourse Tavern is now up! Feel free to drop by, whether you live in Tokyo or are just passing through: tavern.tokyorpgsociety.com/invites/n539...
