We love @montecookgames.com. Their work has inspired us for years. From player-only rolling to GM intrusions, Numenera introduced us to a lot of new things. But most importantly, we learned to embrace the weird. Check out our website to stay tuned on our project! #tabletopgames #gamedesign #ttrpg

What is @shannagermain.bsky.social's favorite way to introduce new players to RPGs? Watch to find out! #roleplayinggame #rpg #gamer #games #roleplayinggames #cypher #dnd #dnd5e #rpggame youtube.com/shorts/GXWP_...

A recent illustration which was created for Monte Cook Games’ Gunslinger Knights series, entitled ‘Observing From A Distance’. The knights are gun-toting warriors & ride custom made motorcycles… totally my vibe:) © 2025 Monte Cook Games

Time to Explore the Cretaceous Period! Predation, a fan-favorite setting (did we mention you can have a dinosaur companion?!), is just about out of print. It seems like a great setting to revisit with the new Cypher—so let’s do it! Help us bring Predation to life! mymcg.info/cypher

Tonight, another playtest... in SPAAAACEE Ima try a bit of play-by-play of tonight's #cypher scife (space operah) game, using the updated version: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Dinos dinos dinos! Please gimme all the dinos! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

I hope this leads to more stretch goals with a full Predation book. It’s truly one of the coolest settings I’ve ever read. Let’s do this!

This is how we do it. You asked for more dinosaur sci-fi goodies. Next up: a brand-new adventure written by yours truly. Featuring our new friend, the stegosaurus. Let's make it happen, pretty please and dino rawrs! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #RPG #TTRPG #Cypher

My internal dialogue right now (and apparently forever)

Come along for a bit of a play-by-play of today's #cypher fantasy game, using the updated version! No one's going to die. Probably. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #RPG #TTRPG

Another dragon I painted for the new Cypher System (Monte Cook Games)! 😊🐉 The project is available on Backerkit right now❤️ #dragon #fantasy #illustration #art #ladon

"Monte Cook Games just announced a new edition for Cypher, the iconic sci-fi tabletop RPG that showcases just how awesome TTRPGs can be outside of Dungeons and Dragons." www.wargamer.com/cyp...

Busy yesterday so I missed that Anthropic had settled. Figures. LLMs have violated thousands of copyrights; they *knew* it would kill them if it went to trial. Anyway, the Authors Guild has some useful info here: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...

Hegseth is now the Secretary of War, which is fitting I guess as RFK jr is basically the Secretary of Pestilence. We just need Famine and Death to round it out.

You could be someone's light in the darkness. The dangling lantern of the anglerfish, drawing creatures to your toothy maw, or a dancing orb of witch-gloom in the forest, drawing folk to their mossy doom.

are you ready for some big news? WE ARE OPEN for BIPOC subs for issue 100! and we are celebrating with a special theme: Transition, Migration, and Borders: Movement in, and of the Body 💖for those of us who find home in liminal spaces💖 find out more here: psychopomp.com/fantasy-maga...

Just another introvert being grateful for her amazing extrovert friends who get it when she says, "I love you so much, but I can't come out and play. I have to stay home and listen to myself think for a while."

One of the many, many reasons I re-wilded my backyard: cute coyotes stopping by to take a nap.

The 50 oversized cards of the Divination Deck each feature a gorgeous image that inspires all sorts of ideas on the fly. Draw the Raven? It's a bad omen in the game, but the accompanying booklet also ties it to a cypher, a GM intrusion idea, an NPC, a creature, and more! mymcg.info/cypher

These books are sooooooo pretty. 100% human made inside and out so every product you buy helps support cool, creative people who give a damn about games, other humans, and the world. Thank you 💙 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #RPG #TTRPG

A favourite from last year that I created for Monte Cook Games entitled ‘Other Worldly Rider’. I haven’t created many Western illustrations but I really enjoyed painting this one! It’s giving major Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Eastwood vibes:) • © 2024 Monte Cook Games
