props to the etsy witches, a 2-day delivery time is pretty impressive

PARRY THIS YOU FUCKING CASUAL

"Average vampire breaks the masquerade 3 times in life " factoid actually just statistical error. Average vampire responsible for 0 masquerade breaches. Spiders Georgvani, who live in Venice and break masquerade to dozens of family members a night, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

playbooks in a magical girl ttrpg i'm working on

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

if i go silent on here, it's because bluesky told me i had to give them my fucking id or bank details to verify i exist, and fuck that noise blame the uk government

Oh I am not shitposting, folks. Stephen Miller, his wife, and Elon are widely rumored to be a throuple. Now Miller's wife is leaving the Trump team to be with Musk & LITERALLY PER THE NEW YORK TIMES Stephen is angrily subtweeting Musk. They actually put it in the paper of record that he was mad

you will be excited to hear that at the 96-day mark, itch finally paid me. so that's comforting. :)

as a rule of thumb, if somebody says something to the effect of "don't do x, it's metagaming", you can just disregard their ttrpg opinions entirely as they are terminally stupid.

Got a copy of The Gardens of Ynn from @soulmuppet.co.uk‬ to go with my copy of The Stygian Library.

i wonder if i will reach 100 days without itch dot io paying me? im on tenterhooks ngl

debate time: for your first introduction, should you watch the Akira film first, or read the manga?

serious question: has the uk labour party actually done anything good now they're in power? Has anything actually improved?

like seriously why do we use itch again? when I cash out on drivethru, the money shows up on the same day! It has been three months and my money is just floating in the ether somewhere, apparently, and they won't answer my emails.

I firmly believe that The Campaign For North Africa: The Desert War 1940-1943 is a lyric game.

RIGHTO, so what have I been making for the last 18 months, you might ask? The answer is BLACK DEATH RISING, an apocalyptic religious horror OSR game. And now I'm going to tell you about it!

plants vs zombies themed turnip28 armies, is that anything?

If any reviewers want to get their hands on a copy of Black Death Rising, hit me up and I'll send a review copy your way.

the thing about the monty hall problem is that I can't drive but would fucking love to recieve a free pet goat.

Artists you turn to when stuck and need jarred out of a spot: Kay Nielsen, Tolkien, William Horton, Harry Clarke have become my go-tos when I need some rewiring. You could say I have a type, lol! Quite different from the painters I celebrate

Shoutout to my fave TTRPG Dungeon Bitches for having a playbook entirely about surviving trauma or abuse, the Wounded Daughter, who has a mandatory move emphasizing how much the flesh will just persist no matter how much pain you're in, how much you suffer, no matter how badly you want it to stop.

Well, that’s quite enough internet for today.

so I've been working on Violet Core - the Romantic High Speed Sapphic Mecha TTRPG for a minute now! If you've been following along since the prior terrible website there is an update on KS talking about a whole pile of new stuff that's hit the draft stage! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sar...

What's up with evil coded elves being punished for their hubris by being made into a bigger scarier sexier version of themselves. Like damn, I wanna be part giant snake or spider wtf. Do I just not have enough hubris?

Ramona gets our highest praises and recommendations! Her work on the covers for The Gardens of Ynn & The Stygian Library by @cavegirl.bsky.social are absolutely gorgeous.

Happy Public Domain day! This year, we get Un Chien Andalou, The Cabinet Of Dr Caligieri, All Quiet On The Western Front, and Ain't Misbihavin'.

Necromunda just can't stop adding awesome, characterful miniatures to the range, and the Onmyodo Covens of House Ty are proof of that. One psyker, one null, one massive void left in your opponent's gang. #WarhammerCommunity www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

"The funko-pops copyright AI has taken down itch dot io" is like the perfect microcosm of the modern media landscape.

i for one welcome elon musk buying dnd if it means people play a different fucking game. i'm not overly concerned that he'll make dnd and the fandom around it worse, since that stuff's already terrible enough to write off.

Check out the proofs for The Gardens of Ynn we've received from the printers 👀 A point-crawl adventure set in an ever-shifting extradimensional garden written by @cavegirl.bsky.social and illustrated by @riotbones.bsky.social Pre-order physicals now: gardens-of-ynn.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

A reminder to my fellow GMs, player safety is important but you're also a player at the table. If your players are doing things that makes you unhappy, stressed or feeling unsafe you are well within your rights to tell them to stop. If they can't respect you they don't deserve the time you give them

ok, trying to abandon twittex for good, who here posts good ttrpg stuff that i should be following?

live footage of my vtm character being told she did a good job

Madoka Magica, I think I could do a fun psychadelic lesbian angst game there. Fatal Frame, because it's such a clever set up for survival-horror. Vampire the masquerade because For Fucks Sake White Wolf Let Me Fix Your Game For You.

In a feat of transparent nepotism, I went and interviewed Sarah Carapace about her upcoming game Violet Core, because I think it's really cool and her design for it's really clever. Here it is: cavegirlgames.blogspot.com/2024/10/an-i...

oh hey i was reminded this platform existed

THE DOVECOTE Episode 11 - Cavegirl Today, 1/15 at 7:00 PM EST, it's the eleventh episode of THE DOVECOTE, a TTRPG News & Discussion Show. This episode stars Emily 'Cavegirl' of Dungeon Bitches acclaim! Send TTRPG questions for Emily and I to [email protected]!

I was today years old when I learned that 'the thirty six views of mount fuji' and 'dream of the fisherman's wife' were by the same dude. Turns out hokusai was a prolific artist. And now you know too!

yknow, as much as i hate the fact that DnD has taught people that TTRPGs are a media you engage with solely through a transformative lens, with systems and lores fully interchangeable and thus ultimately pointless, I do think there is value in examining the enjoyment people get out of game design

I've done enough archery that whenever somebody is using a bow on screen I start internally critiquing their form. If that form is bad enough, the critique may become external.

made myself a custom character sheet for a vampire 5 game I'm joining. Behold:
