obligatory for the 4th

Sick of all those incredible Ennie winners clogging up your library? Tired of raw as fuck artwork covered by those gold medals and platinum badges? Check out HELLPIERCERS, the greatest non-award winning tabletop RPG released in the last couple of yearsish sandypuggames.itch.io/hellpiercers

Another physical RPG book added to my collection. This time, the Prismaxia supplement for Beacon. @pirategonzalez.bsky.social @superdracula.bsky.social

This week in the blog: I thought it would be fun to incorporate the new character options into the random character generation tables seen in the main book, for those who roll (or choose) that way! It's also a fun way to review entries you may have missed. breakrpg.blogspot.com/2026/06/blog...

Happy to announce that BREAK!! is now available at IPR! This should make it much easier to people stateside to grab. 😁

The Shadow Weaver, a new variant job for Beacon: Koronil! This Shadow Dancer variant weaves shadow clones that conceal nearby allies.

Please note this is a potential encounter in BREAK!!

My collection has grown! (Or should I say Mutated :P ) @j-k.games

If anyone can help me with my upcoming dental fees, that would be sick. gofund.me/161966c18

Happy Free RPG Day! The BEACON player-facing rules are always free, and all of my other games are on sale! www.pirategonzalezgames.com

One of these days I'd like to have a proper thing ready for free RPG day. In the meantime however, I can at least offer the 60 page preview of BREAK!! that we have available for download!

I forgot to take Maleghast off of free lol so you have until tonight (6/25/26) to go grab it for zero dollars tombloom.itch.io/magnagothica...

I need someone to run a game of Break!! for me right this moment

The SKULLBOUND job for Beacon: Koronil, a Berserker variant job that is, surprisingly, a defender! They're aggressive defenders, keeping attacks focused on them while withstanding a barrage of blows.

The REAPER job for Beacon: Koronil, a Striker/Support Assassin variant that uses invisibility to harvest souls.

💰🦆🐥🐤

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

The ANIMUS job for Beacon: Koronil, a shadebinder variant job. The soul of an animus has been fused or replaced with that of a primal spirit. They can manifest their soul in battle as a spiritual companion.

I think a lot about how Team Fortress 2 had a picture of a coconut in its files and if you removed it the game would just stop working. I know someone figured it all out later on, but I love the symbolism of that. I think there are a lot of coconut pictures in games of all types, really.

Skies of Arcadia Heck, don't even need a remaster, I would love for just the GameCube version to be made available on the Switch

Vagabond Multiclassing is a question that I get asked about DAILY, so I've put this together from a sidebar that will be in Spellbook. I've considered putting it in the Core Rulebook in an appendix, but I should post it up on socials to hit the fans' feeds. Multiclassing will not be a thing.

I was thinking that if I ever wanted to do a "Megadungeon" style thing, it would likely be a series of connected Adventure Sites that the players could venture through to eventually get to some important, load-bearing place and realized that I was just thinking of Super Mario World maps again

I have seen a couple posts on trpgs to play that aren't D&D (for obvious reasons) and I'm always hesitant to chime in. There is always the chance something you liked in your favorite game isn't the same in ours, for example. But hey, if you want to give BREAK!! a look I'd be happy for that!

I'm SUPER late to the party due to having been moving, but since I saw people posting about it I decided to look into this RPG Trader thing folks've been talking about. I'm also pleased to say you can now find Valor there, AND it's $5 off for the Grand Opening sale! rpg-trader.com/products/257...

Masters of Umdaar got updated and expanded into a massive 464-page behemoth that was released a few days ago under the title "Umdaar: Planet of Swords, Super Science, and Sorcery - Rebel Broadcast Edition". And you know what's best? It's PWYW! 😱😍🖤 shr.pn/Umdaar-DT

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

I once again have to mention how excited I am for Panic at the Dojo 2nd edition

Come explore a large random selection of forever open source #TTRPG resources, from games to SRDs to art and more! thoughtpunks.com/ope...#TTRPG #OpenSource #TabletopGames #IndieGames

So many ways to play D&D without actually using D&D. Some systems I would highly suggest checking out are Beacon, Break!!, Vagabond, Nimble, and Trespasser

A thread of non-obvious things that either influenced BREAK!! and/or make for good BREAK!! inspiration in my opinion. I am going to add to this as I think of new ones (or maybe even find them)

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY If you dig into the expanded setting material of START, you can help this brave, but under-budgeted order of lantern bearing knights take on...

If you are ever in Despair, it turns out that showering, basic self care, and going out to lunch with a friend does wonders for restoring hope. Had to drag myself to do each of those but I feel so much better for it.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The base colors for Beacon: Koronil have come in, and they look awesome! Really capturing that Halloween feel.

“AI is just a tool” yeah a tool for stealing the work of others and locking users in a weird yes man sycophant loop with a machine poisoning the air and burning away the potable water, it’s a very bad tool and nobody should be using it

...and now would be a great time to get into BREAK!! Now we have a starting adventure funding on Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...

Old OC for Maid Day ✨

START was written with three primary purposes in mind: to help new groups learn the game quickly and in a way that gets them right to the fun stuff, to provide ready made material for experienced groups to use and adapt for their own sagas...

I've been aggressively sharing START stuff and that can be annoying (sorry for that) - but this is part of the reason. We want to make a lot of books! These will all exist in some form or another no matter what, but I'd love to be able to justify being able to go all out on all of them.

I've got some damaged copies of the Beacon hardcover that I'm putting up for half-off on my store. www.pirategonzalezgames.com/store/beacon...

I hope panic at the dojo 2e blows all your socks off. I hope it brings about a renaissance of ttrpg design on the same level as Apocalypse World did. I promise you that that is the level of quality of game I have written here and am so close to delivering to you.

@bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is running a large-scale, single question poll, just for curiosity: which is your favourite TTRPG? I wanted to do my part to share it around non-D&D-exclusive spaces. So pick (or write-in) your favourite here :) forms.gle/A8TBNsCWq9Xe...
