Not only do we have @kierongillen.bsky.social, but our other stretch goal authors for this anthology are @thebadspot.bsky.social, @lincodega.com, and @lackingceremony.bsky.social!! This TTRPG cast is stacked :) Get notified when the kickstarter goes live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...

Today we launched a brand-new podcast! The Lands Remaining Podcast tracks the development of The Lands Remaining TTRPG. The first episode is straightforward enough: What is The Lands Remaining? Listen below or wherever you get podcasts. Please re-post! www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-lands-re...

2025 has been the most challenging year of my life. I went through a major family loss while stepping in to become a guardian for my younger sibling. I’ve been working on a lot, which has pushed most of my creative work to the background - but it continues. I have big dreams for 2026 and beyond 🖤

I'm hyped!!! ruinanthology.com

Donned my festive attire, attended a loud work party for an hour, now back home with the cats.

I'm gonna keep saying this with my full chest: I am completely uninterested in genAI "art" of any kind. There's no soul in it, there's no message in it, and it is actively destroying communities in America and beyond. Don't whine to me about how you "did the work" because no you really didn't.

Contributor Highlight: @glowingroots.bsky.social contributed to the core Trophy TTRPG books and published 2 Rooted in Trophy games (Candlelight and Token). The co-writer of the upcoming The Piper's Call and The Silt Verses RPG, he's writing a Trophy Gold incursion for this anthology, so stay tuned!

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

TTRPGs I want to play in 2026: -Harvest -Heart -Dolmenwood via Trophy Gold -Public Access campaign -The Silt Verses campaign -The Lands Remaining -The Piper’s Call (playtest) -The Bramble Gate (playtest) -Bestow (playtest) -Trust Fall (playtest) TTRPGs I want to finish writing in 2026: wait…

In this bleak midwinter, as we emerge from the longest night of the year, do you still find yourself lost in the dark woods? In my first published game, Candlelight, you are ghosts trying to escape a haunted forest before it claims you forever. It's half off on @itch.io: itch.io/s/174601/win...

Be sure to visit Starlight Kingdom, folks!

This anthology is chock full of incredible designers. Go sign up to back it and get yourself a bunch of fresh Trophy incursions!

I've been noticing open source tapestries, clothing fragments and such that would make neat scarves. 100% of artist's proceeds go to amazing organizations (Fair Fight, Trans Legal Defense Fund, Trans Lifeline, etc.) shopofjudd.threadless.com/collections/...

An important repost today!

I’m running The Wassailing of Claus Manor tonight, and I see that Pine Tar, this year’s expansion, is now arriving today. Can’t wait for more holiday weirdness from @clearkeep.bsky.social @signalstation.bsky.social @oxsago.bsky.social @plusoneexp.bsky.social

I met her by the river

In PINE TAR, the latest zine for The Wassailing of Claus Manor, I had Santa claim that one could learn to do what he does by becoming a burglar. Same set of tasks, with only the last link in the chain of events reversed: taking instead of giving. Makes you think. plusoneexp.com/products/the...

An old journal comic repost to remind myself that the time is now and I’m not stuck

we're a few months away from the kickstarter so I'm still updating the website but I'm really excited for our upcoming #Trophy #TrophyTTRPG #TTRPG anthology of new incursions for Trophy Gold and Trophy Dark! You can sign up to get notified when the kickstarter launches! ruinanthology.com

I’m always saying the same shit and I mean it every time. In the age of soulless AI slop, nothing matters more than your voice, so write/create whatever makes you happy. Make it weird. Make it dark. Make it queer. Make it surreal, diverse, sexy. Make it political as fuck. Do YOU.

Your next solo TTRPG party just dropped

WE ARE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE JOIN @shaghik.com FOR BOG BERRIES! www.twitch.tv/gamemastermo...

I wrote a solo folk-horror game for @hatchedgames.bsky.social about befriending monsters, generational trauma, and being changed by the strange and wondrous things you encounter in the bog. I can’t wait to see it played!

To cover Fomoria's early dev expenses and be able to fully focus on it without juggling between other projects to stay afloat, I'm launching a Patreon. I will be sharing weekly exclusive lore bits, art, characters, creatures, etc. Greatly appreciate all support! www.patreon.com/Fomoria #fomoria

Brian is just a font of story and craft, and he’s outdone himself with the illustrations for Pick Me. Check it out!

36 hours left in the Pick Me TTRPG campaign. Packing assembly line is all in order.

"You don’t spend the game wondering whether you’re a good person. You instead wonder if you are ready to kill for the island or die for it — whether it’ll be your friend, lover, or father who will hold the knife and whether they’ll smile as they do it." gamesfromthewildwood.itch.io/harvest

I stopped using Spotify, but my #1 artist of 2025 was @sunrot.bsky.social. I took a road trip to see them live on the same day I got some rough family news, and their song ‘The One You Feed, Pt. 2’ has meant a hell of lot to me. Anyway, support your favorite artists directly however you can. 🤘🖤🤘

If you're a fan of Trophy Dark/Trophy Gold, just a quick heads up that a bunch of Trophy writers are compiling new incursions for a Kickstarter for next year. I'll no doubt talk about it more as the date approaches, but if you wanna set a reminder for yourself: ruinanthology.com

Really enjoying this series of The Silt Verses RPG, featuring two actors from the show and a custom scenario! Be sure to check it out 👁️

Grab The Wassailing of Claus Manor at a discount over at @plusoneexp.bsky.social. (An ENNIE winner!) It's the only game IN EXISTENCE where you play as the Gilded Age household staff of Santa while the Claus family embraces the dark arts in order to continue Christmas.

If you've been excited about what we have in store for GAST: Season 1, then you should give these folks a watch! They are playing FOUR of our SEVEN games and giving them a festive spin ❄️😱

The Devourers will change you.

Not saying I would be caught by sirensong but I would definitely crash my ship straight into a rock if I heard this

We never left the Forest

"Wretched Escapees From Gisang's Forsaken Comedies" This illustration thematically previews my next theatre adventure, which I've just sent to print. Yasss.

In the Bleak Midwinter: Tales from Gast features stories by @finleyjinley.bsky.social @glowingroots.bsky.social @loremistress93.bsky.social @mirror-lock.bsky.social We hope to keep you warm ALL HOLIDAY LONG with these episodes and streams!

And lastly, in partnership with @hatchedgames.bsky.social, enjoy four spooky solo tales with IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER: TALES FROM GAST Ft. @zoupmachine.bsky.social @shaghik.com @grantorwhatever.bsky.social @4evergmjustin.bsky.social Coming Wednesday in December starting on Dec 3!

We made a game where everything wretched about the holidays and everything joyful about them smooch under a mistletoe of horror. And we keep pulling more people into the maelstrom. Find out more about what’s going on with all that in my chat with @plusoneexp.bsky.social

Also, thanks @glowingroots.bsky.social for getting me out to go see GDT's Frankenstein, especially since I could make jokes like "See, this is why you can't shoot the monsters in Trophy" with someone who gets it 🤣. Very much recommend the movie. GDT did a fantastic job.

I love this so much. Here, let me see if I can demonstrate: | ---------------- love measurement -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| it's not scientific, but I think that's pretty close

Plus Hole EXP. TONIGHT! BRAVE ENOUGH? YOUR FRIENDS WON'T BELIEVE YOU. Hear about emergent narrative, deep theme, and whether this game of bar dice and disposable life journeys is an expressionist game or not! It's going to be interspectacular!

Congratulations New York 🔥

It's the games that we make for ourselves that are the most interesting and most powerful, ime.

A quick highlight of some of the awesome stuff in this issue in the thread below!
