Apparently we know what D&D themed Funko Pops are coming, but not what books? Kinda weird. Altho the Velindra Shadowmantle and Lolth ones are kinda neat. gamerant.com/dungeons-dra...

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

This is the last chance to send me your thoughts on TTRPGs in 2025 or 2026! Send me an email or just DM me.

A holiday surprise; the @kansascitychiefs.bsky.social hosted an Actual Play of D&D on their YouTube channel. The game was DMed by @itsannamargaret.com youtu.be/likJfWs1gJI?...

I'm gonna do a ten faves for ttrpgs and board games on the site, but I'd love to hear what games I SHOULD'VE played this year and will try in the next one.

I’m convinced that, outside of sports, STRANGER THINGS is the closest thing we have to a monoculture event. Ie an event everyone cares about. Now that it’s ending, what will be the next thing?

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, whether as a holiday or just a day of rest.

Hi, this is Chris Hutton of @ttrpginsider.bsky.social. This is my more 'personal'/non-TTRPG feed. As I'll explain tomorrow in a post on the newsletter, I'm doing less writing for it in the coming year. I still love TTRPGs, but I have other things on my plate and must focus there.
