Thank you @uberginger.bsky.social for the incredible minis for @hellbentrpg.bsky.social! I love them so much

Tonight we begin filming Hellbent! Nope, not live, this will be a prerecorded show but it'll be worth it. There are still a lot of ways to interact and help us build the world! Join the Society folks at store.savingthrowshow.com now! #YZE #weirdwest

I've been thinking how audiences come to TTRPGs via Actual Plays (or not). It's been a big factor in how I've prepped Hellbent. I can't help shaking the feeling that a lot of us are running shows that cater to people who are already predisposed to the world/lingo of TTRPGs which can hinder newbies.

Thanks to @btaworkshop.bsky.social for donating a stunning GM screen to our TTRPG charity raffle for @dotsrpg.org Raffle tickets are only $5 and can be purchased here: tilt.fyi/hz97BCFWeH There are 11 other items in the TTRPG raffle bundle PLUS there is a Magic raffle bundle too! 🖤

A repost for those of you sleeping in ❤️

Howdy! I'm manifesting today. My schedule is open and I am looking for illustration, cartography, and design work. I have 15+ years of experience with credits across the industry. Check out brianfnpatterson.com for my portfolio, clients, and commission inquiries. Let's make your thing! #ttrpg #dnd

M's let's goooo!

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

OK TTRPG fans - thoughts on the Modern AGE RPG system from Green Ronin annnnd GO! Tips, tricks, examples of play, thoughts, concerns...let me have it. Thanks!

Gol' dang that catch was somethin' else. Nice job, Robles!

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

In today's Kickstarter update, we announced our next book, along with its cover art, and it's going to be a banger! You have to be a backer, though, if you want to read the update. 4 days left to back us and get us our #ActualPlay! www.kickstarter.com/projects/coy... #TTRPG #RPG #tabletop #NativeSky

TLDR I am ISO raffle prizes like physical TTRPG books, dice, dice bags, commander decks, booster packs, deck boxes, etc for a raffle in November AND people who want to run charity streams in October to support @dotsrpg.org 🖤

Gently placing this article for your consideration. I love my AP performers community and I want to hear you better. Remember not all mics can pick up sound from the side of your face. The sound travels straight out your mouth thetechylife.com/how-far-shou...

I just backed Deadlands Dark Ages - Savage Worlds on @kickstarter.com I've been waiting years for this!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/545...

It's my birthday! I just received great personal news myself so I turn to you lovely BlueSkiers and say "What's good?" The world is no longer on a collision course with awful -- it's hit it head on. There's evil in every root and branch. But there's also hope. What hope do you have to share today?

Just a week left and we're just $10,000 shy of getting our actual play podcast stretch goal! Help Coyote & Crow Games keep going strong. You can back for digital or physical content! www.kickstarter.com/projects/coy... #TTRPG #RPG #tabletop #NativeSky #Indigenous #FirstNations #games #gaming

Empire Strikes Back really holds up and I'm happy I got to see it in a theater. One of the first films I saw ever was Return of the Jedi on my birthday in '83! I played speeder bikes in the aisle.

Genre in TTRPGs is a big deal that many people miss out on. Or worse, they get stuck playing a game that does not serve their chosen genre well. At what point does it make sense to jump ship and try a different system?

Let's talk Hellbent - the new Actual Play I'm producing. Hellbent aims to showcase RPGs in ways that a non-RPG audience can latch onto. Many APs take knowledge of the game itself for granted. IMHO this alienates a HUGE potential audience. To that end we're doing some things a little different... 1/6
