Recently, one of my closest friends, the funny, talented and kind @ettin.itch.io, lost his mother, after acting as his family's primary care support for a decade. She's why he has a career as a writer. He is trying to cover the costs of her cremation, and needs our support: gofund.me/40f37091a

Due to the continued issues with Kickstarter & the recent announcements around censorship, we are announcing the move of @navaarsnp.bsky.social's Soothwardens to @backerkit.com This was a unanimous choice by Navaar & entire team. It means starting from 0 and rebuilding. ttrpg.link/soothwardens 1/3

Being mad about Anita Sarkeesian remains one of the truest red flags that someone is a terminal dipshit, like sorry man, there is no way to do this that does not give the game away. "But her criticisms were shallow!" okay and nobody who cares that much about it is remotely a normal human being

Horse TTRPG is here. Fifty pages of "what if you used a model horse instead of dice." Expanded, consulted, many very kind people set me straight about facts about horses, there's scenarios, there's horse bloodborne. kumada1.itch.io/original-fin...

So alongside the horse ttrpg, I would also like to announce: Horse TTRPG Jam. Make *your* horse game! You can use Original Finish or brew up something else entirely. Explore the world of gaming through your own understanding of horses. itch.io/jam/original...

F-Infiniti is funded and close to it's 1st Stretch Goal! Let's talk about Pitt Crew & folks who came together to make it all happen. As The Duke would say, "it doesn't matter how finely tuned your machine is if your team ain't cared for." The F-Infiniti team is top notch & makes the game hum. 3/X

Just posted this essay about the OSR, but more so about how TTRPGs have created their own genres and these things we consider cliques or movements are actually greater extensions of what TTRPGs have done unique from other mediums. www.patreon.com/posts/155858133

You should never be afraid to ask tabletop RPG authors dumb questions about their games because that's literally how we tell whether or not what we wrote is working.

Dragon Reactor wears its narrative and genre inspirations on its sleeve and never once apologizes for it. It doesn’t back down; it doesn’t give you a chance to insert another narrative.

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

A while back @lincodega.com "Nothing could be possibly be sadder than driving very fast and slightly left", so when @carrion-comfort.com and @plusoneexp.bsky.social pitched me F-Infinity for Orbital Blues Month I was over the moon, already driving a spaceship in my mind

Seriously both the video and this game are SO GOOD UGH!! I love our players so fucking much, and I love love our GM team.

The most important rules text of a TTRPG is often “this is a role playing game”.

hey adira, what have you been up? oh not much, just on the referee team for a super fucking cool live text roleplaying/MUD wargame running on Discord set in an alternate 1940s setting based on the anti-colonial wars of southeast asia what is the team gunna about that whole Discord thing? ...beans

This is perhaps the most seen I've felt with regard to erotic TTRPGs in a while. It is such a frustrating but understandable sentiment, though it becomes all the more frustrating when it's the -dominant- sentiment. This is also true for Hawkmoth, and has been true for my own work to an extent.

In the latest issue of The Many Sided Newsletter guest contributor @superdillin.bsky.social talks about the challenges of marketing and crowdfunding his 18+ game All's Fair. Plus zine month recommendations and more! manysidednewsletter.substack.com/p/the-challe...

Binary is an exciting voice in TTRPGs. All of the things I've seen them helm or work on have been very interesting, playing with unique mechanics and a sharp writing voice. Go check out null space!

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month. All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much. itch.io/s/179351/jan...

I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025. There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!

God bless the United States of Minnesota

Some stories are difficult not just because of the effort it takes to tell them, but because of the subject matter. This story is both. Seven months, six Rascals, five creators, and a dozen drafts, revisions, and versions later... We have a story that is necessary, heartbreaking, and important.
