This is absolutely the truth. Many OSR games and many PBTA/FITD games have the same core values and GM/player advice. The schism between these communities is primarily held up by bad actors in both camps.

Many people hold this opinion, or the opposite ("my table will finally roleplay if I run a game with social mechanics!"), and they're both missing the point. Social mechanics aren't for the people who don't roleplay. They're for the people that ALREADY ROLEPLAY. They act like writing prompts.

The reverse dungeon crawl must become a more popular concept. It's absolutely killer!

Papercult's still going strong! In a few months it'll be a year old. If you're one of those "return to forum" folks put your money where your mouth is.

one hope is have for 2026 is that more folks join Paper Cult Club, an indie tabletop-focused forum i truly adore papercult.club

I wrote my first blog posts this year and got 3 posts in before I got bored!!! Excited to submit

it's finally FINALLY time: INFINITE REVOLUTION, my star-powered, zodiac-inspired exosuit dogfighter RPG, is finished, crowdfunded, and publicly released!! Spin up your Revolver Drive, defend the stars, fall in love, burn up, and remember—THE ONLY THING BRIGHTER THAN YOU IS MORE OF YOU🌠 Link ⬇️

Most of your opinions about ttrpgs are informed by who you play with. Not books you're using to play. You think you have a lot of opinions about the books, but I guarantee you 95% of the time these are opinions about the tables you've played with and the people there.

It's taken me a long time to get here, but I'm finally ready to show off my big #ttrpg project. I'm working on DOWAGER: THE SACRED & STRANGE, a science-fantasy tactics RPG about hunting internet demons and the absurdity of fantastical adventure in the modern world.

ok so let me lay out some basics of why I think OSR/NSR stuff is good, actually, even if the scene seems to regularly terrible oppinion-havers like some geothermal geyser. in short, its because the osr framework of what you do in the game *works*.

Bringing this one up again. I'm up for facilitating copies and the like for any AP folks who wanna highlight games from the global south, who wanna help put eyes on new stuff that's talking about ecology and social institutions of care, my DMs are open! And I appreciate y'all sharing it around

I'm just now seeing this post! Its fantastic. I love how we're all trying to slay the 1 HP Dragon (combat without HP/numbers). This is a really good system. My current drafts have similar ideas, but this one is so much more fleshed out. binarystar.games/posts/origin...

hello gamers I'm back with another blogpost. this one's about me trying to suss out how different tables play, and the three basic questions I use to draw those differences: samsorensen.blot.im/sams-three-q...

Fit test for life-sized Mew! He's beautiful 😭

uh the pizza place I ordered from is PAST THE TICKET GATE in the ferry terminal, and I don't have a ticket. A minimum wage worker has to walk 200 metres through and out the terminal to give me the pizza. what the fuck is this island

Buster Sword complete! Felt silly carrying that black pillar through the woods, but when you get four hours of sun a week you don't have time to worry about tables!

New ttrpg jam alert! Moxie, the system from Grimwild, is having a fan-made game jam! I've played 25 systems this year, and Grimwild is the best development of narrative ttrpgs within the last few years, and so easy to create for. itch.io/jam/moxie-jam

my other TTRPG opinion is

My tables at this tiny local market

Alright, it's time... This is Voidlight: A rules-bright sci-fi horror dungeon crawl where your only safety is a beam of light that shrinks every ten minutes. Light on rules, bound to the dark. 100 playtesters battle tested this game and it's finally available! farirpgs.itch.io/voidlight

Alright so Voidlight will be released in early access tomorrow so people can get the game for their halloween one shots BUT, I just released free Affinity Publisher and Canva templates that use the same style as the game. Download for free here: store.farirpgs.com/en-cad/produ...

OH NO WHAT DO I DO THE OFFICIAL DRAGON BALL Z FREIZA CROCS ARE 50% OFF TODAY ONLY

Adding a talent to my game where you can stop somebody from being able to spend money in any way for 24 hours, but if you roll really poorly you get arrested for financial crimes and have to go to court

Looking for playtesters for an upcoming sci-fi horror game kind of like shadowdark meets ten candles meets mothership. If you want to test it with your group, send me a DM on Bluesky and I’ll send you a free copy.

Working on just one of these at a time is wild. I do 2 minutes of work and then have to sit for 2+ hours for various things to dry. Buster Sword from FFVII Remake is coming along nicely though. Almost ready for final paint job (this picture was many stages of the process ago).

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky. So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons! Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

🍾 My game launched digitally today! For the last year, I've been writing, playtesting, editing, formatting, and fine-tuning In Death: A Tabletop Roleplaying Game About the Afterlife. And it's available now! You can pick up a digital copy here! 📖 dimwoodstudios.itch.io/in-death #Tabletop #TTRPG

Get ready for Last Hope, a dark magical girls TTRPG built on Caltrop Core! “ Fight evil corruption in an alternate version of the world while also balancing your mundane life, your struggles, and your relationships. Perhaps you will, unlike others, be able to avoid a tragic end. “

Anybody would be interested in recording an AP for the game ? Would love some real world examples to help people learning the game.
