April Aries here 💅 I'm capitalizing on my inner fire to push some major creative work this month. First order of business is finishing Dragged In and then the world is my #TTRPG oyster 😈 Whatcha y'all got slated for April?

I've had about five dreams now about harps & my mama didn't raise no fool. On a side #TTRPG project, Dressed to Kill (D2K), I'm creating PC classes after years of abstaining from them (nothing against classes, I just got burned out) Is there going to be a harp-wielding badass included? Wait & see 💅

My Cat Jam game has a name!. Dragged In The first draft for this solo #ttrpg is almost done and ready to hit playtesting, edits, and layouts. Very excited to see this project come to feline fruition!

And...we...are...live! And unlike our feline friends, this jam only has one life not nine so make sure to head over, sign up, and submit your own cat-related creation today. #ttrpg projects, video games, esoterica felinis...all are welcome! Now's the purr-fect time to join 🐾

Toying around with some car chase #ttrpg mechanics for a project and having a blast. Something is definitely cooking! What is your favorite chase mechanic? Why do you like it? Have you ever applied it outside of the system?

Howdy! Quick & dirty LLG #ttrpg projects update: - Cat Jam first draft is close. Cat vs sci-fi horror - Finished first draft of Dreadful's rules & next is The Dread's chapter - Love letter open world crime games called Love & Crime in '99 IP - Protecting my peace (2025 sucked 😮‍💨) How about you?

Hey everybody, back after like a 1000 years to announce I'll be participating in the Cat Jam and so should you! Sign up today and get ready to throw some dough towards a great cause 🐈

Howdy fellow #ttrpg designers, players, and all around nerds! I've finally emerged from my self-imposed exile/hermitage and I'm ready to reconnect with my community. I realize, now more than ever, I need to surround myself with people I trust and admire. My people ♥️ So, what are we working on?!

New #comics Kickstarter from one of my besties (and a helluva artist to boot!) Go take a look and grab an immaculately illustrated comic from an expert in the field of monster snuggling (yes, I know I'm a dork)

Y'all need to check out the read through of Whimsy's badass and heartfelt ode to old school side-scrollers and jrpg's. Fascinating to read the ideas and inspo behind the #ttrpg design, delivered in the cheeky yet passionate voice of one of my favorite game designers 👏👏👏

Hey friends, been a while! Hope all your projects are going well. I'm doing some grunt work on a larger project I'm very excited to show at some point (not soon 😁) What are you working on in the world of #ttrpg?

Hey there 👋 I'm still alive, still working on game design. Social media is a tough nut for me to crack, but I'm excited to reconnect with you all and see what wonderful things you're working on!

Hey #ttrpg fans, ever wanted to see how long you could trick a cowboy into thinking two people in a horse costume were their steed? Probably not, but go download this PWYW ttrpg anyway 🐴 laughing-lark-games.itch.io/a-very-real-...

Challenged myself to create a #ttrpg in a day and created one of the dumbest games ever. I can't wait to share it with y'all, so until it's up enjoy this cover image teaser!

Hey #TTRPG folks, here's another entry to The Board Game Reimagined game jam! Want to explore the intricacies and drama of relationships changing and possibly ending? Love Crokinole?

*The Board Game Reimagined! Game Jam, hosted by the wonderful and marvelously helpful @whimsymachine.bsky.social I'll post a link once it's live, but take a look at the inspo for the jam: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2... Spell is a beautiful game of magic and discovery that uses letter tiles!

Oops, I'm an awful SM user. I'll skip the apologies as I wouldn't expect nor require them from any of my friends ♥️ Big things here at LLG. First, I've registered for a DBA! Also, I've released The Rapid & The Repentant, a #ttrpg for a jam.* Check it out: laughing-lark-games.itch.io/the-rapid-an...

Howdy everybody! Still plugging away at my game jam and planning larger #ttrpg projects. QQ: Anybody got some tips for getting traction around here? I'm trying to interact with more posts, but it just doesn't seem as effective as over on Threads. All suggestions are welcome!

I'm working on an #rpg that emulates car heists ala Gone in 60 Seconds/the F&F franchise that uses a Sorry! board for the Board Game Reimagined game jam (link below) 😵‍💫 What is the weirdest and most enjoyable #ttrpg accoutrement/resolution system you've played with before? itch.io/jam/board-ga...

And we're back! Busy December followed by vacation, but I'm ready to start making those connections over here again! What better way to start with my latest game, Midnight Metro Mayhem! A #ttrpg paying tribute to old school beat'em ups & the Warriors. Check it out… laughing-lark-games.itch.io/3m

A lot of personal hardship going on, but excited to say the first draft of 3M's system is done! In this simple #ttrpg, you roll 4d4 & try to match results together, with more matched numbers leading to greater results! Match Threshold (MT) starts at 2 & goes up based on the difficulty of actions 🤜🫷

I see a lot of new followers! All I can say is hope you enjoy sporadic updates about weird little tabletop RPG projects 😅

In Midnight Metro Mayhem, every station stop means a Clash. Will it be a bloody street fight, a daring robbery, or maybe disco dancing the night away? Only the knuckles of destiny can tell 😎

MMM is a game inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time: The Warriors. What movies have inspired you to make a game or design a campaign themed around it? What was your favorite feature or moment that came from the media parallel?

A little holiday hiatus, but I'm back. Did some solid work on my Train Game Jam entry, which now has a title! I'm proud to present: Midnight Metro Mayhem! More details to follow soon.

Working on a game for the Train Jam that mashes together The Warriors and side scroller beat'em ups like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon. I'm in heaven, y'all, heaven! itch.io/jam/tabletop...

Collaboration is such a powerful thing, especially in game design. I think a lot of us tend to get so close to our work that we can't see the bigger picture, the holistic view. Having a peer come in and give constructive criticism and suggestions: that's an amazing gift. I'm glad I finally see it 🤝

Something I'm telling myself that others might need to hear too. What you are creating is worthy. What you have to say is worthy. You are worthy. Know your worth and cling to it like a talisman when things get dark. The world needs you and your art!

One of my newest ideas has led to me imagining a magical train setup and honestly, even if it goes nowhere, this whole process has been worth it. There's just something so calming and engaging about imagining how a train car would be designed 🚂 Also, something, something, train of thought joke

Minor health hiatus and I'm back! Did you get to game this weekend and, if so, what was your favorite moment of the session?

So many game ideas, so little time. And by time, I mean dedicated effort to build and refine said ideas into viable products to iterate and develop into releasable work. But so many ideas!

What's a character creation section or option that you tend to skip or auto? Why is it not important and what do you think would be a good alternative for it?

Duet TTRPG where you play two FBI agents with a will-they, won't-they vibe called "Hey, It's Me." Not sure I'll work, but I want to believe it will.

Here's a twist on a classic question: what's the favorite dice and what non-gaming connections do you attribute to it? I love the d12 and it reminds me of a late April thunderstorms, fresh baked cinnamon rolls, and finding unexpected courage when I needed it the most. How about you?
