I am finally back home from Dragonmeet! It was so much fun and I'm so happy I got to see so many friends (and meet new ones in person for the first time!) 🥹 Love y'all

Gull Squad is a single page tabletop game about seagulls trying to save their favorite restaurant. It uses slapstick comedy and two fun ways to fail rolls! Perfect for one-shots #TTRPG  Find it here: https://k-ramstack.itch.io/gull-squad

Much needed floor time with @loremistress93.bsky.social and @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social behind @hatchlingdm.itch.io table 😅

Immediately issuing an update to this one :D

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

Flying with moth wings came @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social's CALPINI horror module for @loottheroom.bsky.social's A Dungeon Game (first ADG physical book as far as I know?), also #MorkBorg compatible. Its sooooo red! #TTRPG #OSR #ADungeonGame

Nothing quite like checking into a hotel in London and being subtly accused of being a sex worker 💀🤣 I detest this city

I like to go to exhibitions and look for Little Guys

On the train to Dragonmeet!! So excited to not be working a convention for a change! 🤩 If you see me and we are friends/mutuals please stop me and say hi!

It's like hitting a wall face first when I read about a game module that seems cool, only to go to the creator's page and see they used AI for the image. I get that it's a free game, blabla, but don't you realize it blends you with the slop and makes people think you also used AI for the content?

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

"Would you like this AI suggestion on how to make your writing more concise?" Absolutely the fuck not. I will use the words as I want and grammar and conciseness be damned. I will wield my words like a painter slings paint - and my reader will be grateful for the opportunity to witness my wrought.

Oh hey - if you're in the UK and need cheaper shipping + no customs shenanigans, guess who serendipitously just received a whole new batch of these! peregrinecoast.press/products/cit...

I threw together a little gift guide for some of the games we make! Check it out if you like indie TTRPG and D&D supplements! #ttrpg #dnd You can find our games, as well as geeky t-shirts, art prints and gaming related accessories here: shorturl.at/dcb3W

Huge thanks to @fistful.ink for doing my first ever print run! Logan was very helpful and answered all my newbie questions. In a world full of corporations it was nice speaking to a caring human

Dad: (Mom) Steph stole the blanket from upstairs!!! Me: YEAH but Dad opened the Christmas wine!!! My long suffering mother:

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

What genAI art enthusiasts don’t understand: ✨Nobody worth anything wants to see what you got from the claw machine and then signed with your name✨🤗

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

Budget this, budget that...right now the only maths I am interested in is how many hair bobbles I can stack on top of my cat's little head

oh no did somebody undermine the grand theatre of the budget reveal

If you ever think of yourself as not achieving enough, or not good enough at what you do, take a look at those working in the UK's national government today. Most of them incompetent as fuck, fail upwards and are wholly corrupt. You are doing your best, and deserve to give yourself a break.

Tbh I'm pretty screwed financially right now so if you wanted to buy or tell people about our stuff it would be very appreciated!

Weird that the discourse about full time TTRPG work is doing the rounds when it's something I've been wrestling with this week. Feeling like the reason I'm not where I want to be with Fistful is because I have a part time job to pay bills. I don't have a partner's wage or huge savings.partne's

I've uhhhhh used my rainbow pens so much they're starting to Not Work woops

I am very good at Marketing and Serious Game Design take me seriously at your peril

Very shortly our seasonal mugs will be changing to the winter version, so its the last week to get the autumn edition before next year 🥰 shorturl.at/V1lJv

there is a tabletop rpg I really enjoy called bluebeards bride and the setup is quite easy, all you will need is some six sided dice, a copy of the book, a free evening, and 5 men you want to irrevocably traumatize

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror. Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after. Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.) I’m researching 🤓

besties? rivals? lovers? all three? these are the games for you #twoplayergames #ttrpgs #ttrpgcommunity #indiegames #relicandroll

Blood of the Covenant is a game about mercy and justice, about trying to uphold conflicting ideals, about authority and power and how we use it. Angels guide a lone knight through a quest, oaths are made and broken, and the sword hangs over it all. Available in playtest edition now.

Contemplating OSR, but for the girlies ✨

Here's our order cut off dates for the festive month of December. Please get any print work to us before Dec 1st or it'll get picked up in the New Year. ALSO...I have something VERY exciting to announce on Dec 1st too, so stay tuned 👀

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Local woman finds her 15 year old Letraset markers and does a Pinterest draw challenge for two hours. It's so nice to create crap art (subjective don't come for me) like a little kid again I will be honest (The markers have not held up well, rest in peace)

She's taken my spot on the bed while I listen to Friends at the Table. Trying to have low dopamine evenings with more mindful activities :')

THREE DAYS LEFT TO ORDER YOUR COPY OF VILLAINESS - an artbook collaboration with @damesprod.bsky.social , filled with hot evil ladies. These sneak peeks come from: @poliaths.bsky.social @owlyjules.bsky.social @eriopsis.bsky.social @pianta.bsky.social

Art is just so fucking cool. I love scrolling my feed here and seeing piece after piece of what feels like the true universal language of humanity. Even if we don't share the same words you can draw a picture of something that matters to you and I will feel it in some way. I love that connection.

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳 I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️ #art #illustration

Near You, Beside You A comic about siblings growing close and then apart, and the thing that connects them 1/5

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

Go visit the PAX Together room! And while there check out the games at the @sidequestbooks.bsky.social table. They have copies of You are a Muffin and Make Your Own One-Page RPG by Exeunt Press for sale! #PAXU

My stress has reached the "maybe I should quit both jobs, pack a bag, go somewhere on a train and disappear for a few months" levels 8)

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

No one needs Ai to illustrate their ttrpgs. I glued random shit together to make a robot model. Took some pictures and traced it like a total beginner. Anyone can do this. It cost me 0$ it took me a total of 3 hours for 2 robots. I can even reuse the materials. Please. Be creative

Rainbow Biro scribbling for low dopamine and flow state 🙌

I SPOT SWORNHEART somehow???? 👀
