The JourneyMon Quick Start booster packs are out now on itch.io and DrivethruRPG. If you already have the Quick Start Guide downloaded from either, the Oldtimer and Youngster files will be waiting for you now! If you haven't downloaded it yet, now's the time to start! quickstart.journeymonrpg.com

I just backed Asher's Ridge on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Milestone reached! Now that we've breezed past 300 followers, I have released the Youngster playbook for the Quick Start. Join the Discord to download it first: community.journeymonrpg.com (It's coming to the Quick Start download pages on DriveThruRPG and itch.io later)

Tune in to Roll20 Con for this panel tonight! I'll be sharing the virtual stage with some very talented designers!

I think, finally, I have become one with the angles. My brain is now hardwired to see 45°. And all it took was dying dozens of times in that bug-forsaken ant zone #silksong

The results are in! Our JourneyMon Discord server has voted for the Oldtimer's release in a landslide victory, which is fitting considering they have a Matter-type monster. Join the Discord to download it: community.journeymonrpg.com (It'll be added to the itch and DriveThru download pages later)

My fiancée and "additional designer" Freya is running JourneyMon at Tabletop Scotland! Freya's marketing masterstroke: free Monster Munch!

The conclusive counterpart to last month's SySho is now up! redcircle.com/shows/6991e0...

We've raced on past 275 now so its about time to crack open the first booster pack and release a new playbook... You can vote on which one on a poll on our Discord server. Follow the link to join in! community.journeymonrpg.com

New JourneyMon devlog: Kill Your Darlings (with Playtests!) This week I take a look at how I overhauled how basic monster powers work even as the game was in editing. Read to find out what caused me to take a hard turn and kill a design I was so sure was elegant!

This looks really cool!

Fantastic showcase of the Cosmere RPG team in here. The team is absolutely wonderful to work with! Give it a look to follow a bunch of exceptionally talented designers, writers, artists, project managers, lore experts and more.

Cheeky reskeet for #selfpromosaturday... follow the campaign to crack these booster packs as soon as possible!

The JourneyMon #TTRPG pre-launch is full steam ahead, hitting 250 followers! To celebrate and drive for the next milestone, I'm excited to announce we'll be releasing Quick Start 'booster packs' for the Youngster and Oldtimer playbooks. One will unlock at 275 followers, and the other at 300! 🎁

It's Saturday morning of the year 199X. You grab a bowl of cereal and open up the TV Guide to see what's on. What cartoon/show/movie are you most excited to watch? (I'm playing around with Graphic Design here... I have an idea...)

On a day like today how can I resist... What if Silksong was in JourneyMon?

Well well well.... Sept 4th for Silksong. Guess I need to find an excuse not to do anything else that day!

In this week's devlog for my upcoming game JourneyMon: Monster Trainer Roleplaying, I take a look at how I built on #PbtA foundations, and where I deviated from other PbtA games to better hit the monster trainer genre! Have a read for a sneaky preview of a new Water-type power!

UNDERISLES into the final day on #Kickstarter. If you’d like to start learning American or British sign language, this trilogy of #ttrpgs is a really fun and intuitive starting point! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tat... #tabletop #boardgames #indie #educational #ASL #BSL #crowdfunding #ttrpgkids

I played Nibiru for the first time at a con back in January and it was spellbinding! I'm so excited a new version is on the way. Gonna be backing this day 1!

So many anticipationspren... today's the day!

This was a really open interview with @chasecarter.bsky.social and I appreciated the chance to discuss the fears of game design as an amateur starting out and the challenges of publishing as a small business.

I've just released a new post on itch about one of the big design challenges of JourneyMon: building a monster "type chart" for a TTRPG. I discuss my design goals, early drafts, and a mistep that I had to delete from the game! Read it on itchio here: ilgingell.itch.io/journeymon-q...

I've enjoyed working with Imogen on Frontiers of Eberron and Chronicles of Eberron, and I can't wait to check out her next project (not to mention her work on the Stormlight RPG)! Check it out!
