Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys. Thankyou 💔

You know the layout is good when you're a few pages in and have to flick back to the credits to see who's responsible (unsurprisingly it was @nohr.se - Alien evolved edition, super nice!)

Look for Blades '68 to crowdfund next year.

Sketches from a recent session of Blades ‘68. #bitd

Patrons now have access to my audio review of Deathmatch Island! Hopefully will get a full video out sometime next month, but this is one that's more focused on how the games structure and mechanics produce narrative possibilities at the table.

I organized and ran a free tabletop RPG convention with 2 of my friends that had: - over 70 players across 13 tables - 14 artists in artist alley - a panel and Q&A with @eliotbaum.bsky.social - lots of foot traffic The experience was a blast! Here are a few photos from the event:

The Deluxe Edition of What Dust Remains is now out! 52 haunting pages for a game of legacy and sacrifice. In this sweeping narrative game, build the life of a Pioneer struggling to achieve meaning in their life. momatoes.itch.io/what-dust-re...

Amazing 🙏

Day one of #OBaWS in the bag - played Runequest with @dracowie.bsky.social at the helm, and ran @evilhat.bsky.social Deathmatch Island is its backstabby, betrayal-laden one-shot format. Excellent fun and hat tip to @matthewbroome.bsky.social for making it all happen!

I guess I need to update my resume.

EXTREMELY my shit, indeed.

For just £25 you could be the owner of 4 magazines containing roughly 240,000 words. Like even if you have no interest in tabletop games that’s a lot of words that you could simply rearrange into a new order and be about almost anything you were into, seems like a bargain really

Blades '68 playbooks: the Paranormalist, and the Hull.

Landlord is selling our house with no warning and we have to be out by the end of the month. Making the best of a stressful situation - Shares and reposts appreciated!

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

I felt so inspired after using @thebreadwyrm.bsky.social art yesterday, I decided to create a new supplement for #DNGN+DRGN . "WANDERING MONSTERS" will add rules for extended campaign play, social scenarios, and a travel subsystem - as well as 8 new creatures to use as adversaries, NPC, and factions

Blades '68: The Operative, and the Swinger. If the mood of B68 has two poles, it is these.

As a big time cutaway diagram fan, this has me SO excited for GOLD TEETH. Just beautiful.

here's "Sapryc", the theme for @friends-table.bsky.social's REALIS Pt. II notquitereal.bandcamp.com/track/sapryc

The Spies That Death Forgot, a Forged in the Dark retro espionage action game directly inspired by the James Bond movies, probably a good companion in tone to Blades '68! thysane.itch.io/the-spies-th...

Money is getting supremely tight right now, so why not consider buying one of my fine tabletop roleplaying games? thysane.itch.io

To celebrate finishing the post-playtest revisions on Blades '68 ( 🎉 ), here's an homage to @johnharper.bsky.social's iconic cover in the style of Seymour Chwast / Push Pin Studios. (this isn't the actual cover, just having fun)

On the streets of Janloon, capital of Kekon, Green Bone warriors wield the might of jade. The stone given by the gods confers heroic power from wǔxiá legend—power that may addict or corrupt. Sign up now to playtest Streets of Jade, based on the books by @fondalee.bsky.social evilh.at/soj-playtest

Feminism. International espionage. Science rats. HIGH SPEED RACING. It's all coming to a head in... THE PINGUS AFFAIR. We teased it, so here's the whole thing. A oneshot of Blades '68 by @olddog.games and @evilhat.bsky.social. www.podbean.com/media/share/...

I got to sit down and talk to @rustysellsword.com about his creative process, the incredible library of games he has helped bring to life, and what media he's been grooving on. #ttrpg creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

To be honest: Because it's my own game, and because it was basically like recording playtests, it has been especially stressful running Realis on Friends at the Table. But we've gotten to some incredible places, especially with this most recent set of eps. Just $5 a month @ friendsatthetable.cash

We're back with a oneshot of Blades '68 by @olddog.games and @evilhat.bsky.social. Dropping this week, with a little teaser of what to expect from... THE PINGUS AFFAIR.
