One of the lovely folks from the Ironsworn Discord did some chibi-style art of Archer & Luna and 🤌🤌🤌

Catching up with the @thebadspot.bsky.social back catalog of Gauntlet games (Trophy Dark, The Between, Public Access). These games absolutely sing in actual play format. Just amazing collaborative vibes. Also, I want to make sure everyone is okay. 😬

The process of moving into a new place this month and rebuilding my life as a person living solo for the first time in over a decade has been expensive and hard. If you've been thinking about picking up any of my games, this would be a great time to go for it. store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

We are back for the - I promise - final part of the Ironsworn Legacies playtest THIS THURSDAY! Not caught up yet? Here's a playlist of the VODs: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We're back! And this week on the Avallen stream we talk about: - Where we've been! - A TCG magazine! - @shawntomkin.bsky.social 's new Irownsworn: Legacies! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMQe... #ttrpg #rpg #LoA #gamedesign #indiedev #ironsworn

Terrifying.

Truly. I want people to watch this series not only to show off my new game, but because it’s just so effing good. In a just world where actual play was judged based on sheer quality of story and RP, this would be considered an all-timer.

I've got some pretty cool news to share. Voidlight, my rules-bright scifi horror dungeon crawl RPG is now available for free on my website and is 100% free. More details in the video below (oh also, im bringing it to print in partnership with @pandiongames.com !) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMjT...

My dear wife gifted me the platonic ideal of a that's-what-she-said this morning.

We're back with the second session in my Ironsworn Legacies playtest as Glain the Guard faces off with three wolves for the life of a Wyvern's Rest woodsman. Can he drive them off or will he share a grisly fate with the forester? Only one way to find out! Listen now wherever you find your podcasts.

Went for a lake paddle yesterday to escape the heat, and followed a meandering inlet up to where it ended at a pretty little river. Beautiful spot! LONG paddle back to the car, though. Were it not for the lack of cell coverage, I might have called for an airlift.

We've hit pause on new releases for a couple of weeks on Unconventional GMs, but here's one of our faves from a while back - @shawntomkin.bsky.social 's Ironsworn Sundered Isles is a great game for high adventure on the seas! youtu.be/GpqIByGWw6A?...

TONIGHT! We are back streaming more of the Ironsworn: Legacies playtest. It's going to have everything; swamps, ghouls, haunted eggs. You name it. youtube.com/live/KzoUAqD...

I've been doing head studies in my physical sketchbook so I don't have a lot to show, but here's a painting I did of my Ironsworn OC, Ran, to practice what I've learned about the planes of the head. #oc #art #digitalart

My latest book, Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster is coming to Kickstarter in July! Follow now and be notified! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sly...

We're taking a break from Book One: Meridian to kick it old school with Ironsworn. I say kick it old school, but actually this is the new school! The alpha playtest of Ironsworn 2e, currently titled Legacies, is only available on the Ironsworn discord. Let's jump in and explore the Ironlands!

Anyone watching Widow's Bay? Just finished episode 7, and it's such a great mix of funny and spooky.

We're offering Umdaar as a Pay What You Want title to gauge fan interest in both the game and the Fate system in general. The suggested price is $20 for this 464-page standalone PDF, but if you're just purchasing out of idle curiosity, consider paying at least $1 - it really helps boost the title.

I feel this in my bones. And product mockups. So many product mockups.

If you pick up this little book (PWYW), I'd be most grateful for ratings and or reviews. But I think folks might dig it It is not a groundbreaking new product - won't blow your mind. Just a useful, pleasant to use little tool for your solo or GM binder. perplexingruins.itch.io/the-solo-boo...

This was great fun. It obviously got out of hand, but in the best possible way. Ironsworn 2e may be just in its early stages, but it fucking rips.

Sundered Isles, the seafaring supplement for Ironsworn: Starforged, is nearly out of stock and out of print. A few copies left at the Modiphius US shop. modiphius.us/collections/... It's a banger of a Starforged supplement, but the real standout is the system-agnostic generators and random tables.

My favorite thing about the (ugly but functional) character sheet for the Ironsworn: Legacies alpha playtest? You can mark your position (favored/pressured/desperate) using a miniature of your character. Image credit: daydreamingmoose.bearblog.dev/ironsworn-2e...

Fate is what got me into game design. I loved mucking about with its hyper-elegant mechanics. The first thing I released was a tiny fan hack for Bulldogs! (a third-party Fate game). Looking forward to checking out Umdaar, and I'll continue to use Fate for inspiration. Not dead for me.
