My friend deciding to write a game and roping me into it as a playtester! But, Vampire deserves credit for opening my eyes to the glory of dice pools, and @evilhat.bsky.social ´s Fate really opened my eyes to how games could express themselves.

Bluesky friends, assemble! 📯 I'm looking for TTRPGs that are: 🌿 By Irish creatives, writers or designers 🌿 Set in Ireland 🌿 Exploring Irish culture, history, language, and/or folklore. If any of the above applies to you or someone you know, please get in touch or comment below! Míle buíochas!

Hello again, Nightborne. It has been some time, but the moon is singing once more. I am casting for the first ever O Nata Nox Actual Play. Will you answer the call? forms.gle/Dc5E2tpvKaen...

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

once again i am asking you to go and back the @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social GUIDE TO MYSTERIOUS LOCATIONS, a system-neutral collection of extremely weird, definitely occult, and probably cursed locations in an unnamed city. (if you can't back it, just spread the word, 'kay?)

Join our small but mighty team as we continue on our journey to celebrate and connect people to the world of indie RPGs and solo games! Tabletop Bookshelf is looking for a hospitality-minded, tech-savvy tabletop RPG enthusiast to help build our audience and community (link in comments)

Okay, so I've seen this happen several times now. Person A says "hey, Covid is surging, maybe wear a mask again, okay?" They try to word it to cajole, not shame. People react poorly to being shamed.

When I say "could you do me a huge favor" what I mean is "this is a very minor task that would make my life much easier but my mind is messed up so asking for anything I could technically do myself feels like a huge ask"

I uhhh…need 63 people to sub to my YouTube and then watch 4 hours of content to make YouTube partner. Thats 4 episode of Tabletop Humans with amazing guests and kickass advice on role playing, DMing, and building immersive worlds. youtube.com/@jesthehuman

Felt cute, might delete later. From a trip with some favourite people.

We haven't plugged this one in a while, and we're coming up on Ullambana next week... so: GHOSTS, MONSTERS, AND DEMONS OF INDIA is an encyclopedia of folkloric fiends, creepy cryptids, and malevolent mythological mischief-makers from all over the country www.blaft.com/products/gho...

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Does anyone know if old fridges sometimes make a low consistently creepy noise that an anxious mind may liken to a creepy zombie-type sound?

The Botanists Had a lot of fun making this one

TTRPG friends in the US, are you okay?

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO TTRPG ART COMMISSIONING AND LICENSING It's done! Here is my guide to art commissioning, licensing, and art direction in TTRPGs. It's free to see, has contract and brief templates, and plenty of resources to aid in art literacy in the space. www.patreon.com/posts/compre...

Time to cough up, jokers. We killed NFTs and we’ll do it again.

Director of Projects Sean Nittner shares the latest on all the items in our production & development pipeline - including Streets of Jade, Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts, Blades '68 and more. It's the State of the Hat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqRw...

How freaking beautiful is that?! @spiritbearrpg.bsky.social

Is it (Odds) Overwhelm, or (Evens) Are they mad at me: a d12 game where all results mean I'm overthinking something.

Grab your books and your detective notepads - because The West Dennison Township Book Club (and Amateur Detective Agency) is now LIVE on itchio! It is a #ttrpg designed to be played by book club, with a book as the only tool needed to play! meghanlynnftw.itch.io/westdennison...

Still a bit of time left to grab something in my little end of summer sale! Each game is 25% off, or you can get a bundle of 3 for $7. Every little bit *really* helps right now; I have quite frankly never had so little in the ol' savings and it's pretty darn scary! 🫤 itch.io/s/158776/end...

The ADHD urge to advocate for your friends with a ferocity you've never once shown about protecting your own peace. Tell me of a time you've been emotionally up in arms for a friend teetering on the edge of burnout.

Incipiere incipendi modus est 💜 Brennan Lee Mulligan and Sam Reich truly deserve one another's friendship ✨

Building up a database of artists/illustrators (especially BIPOC and minority) to reach out to for future collabs/paid work! Looking for anyone who loves drawing horror, folklore, and dark fairy tales, as I've a few things coming up in that field. 💀🪦 Interested? Drop those links and examples below!

Presented in a newspaper format, this game brings a new approach to storytelling and world-building.

Are you at Strange Games Festival this weekend? No? Norwich Games Con? Still no? Nah, me neither. Cheer up, you can get the same experience from a PWYW 1-page game about fighting your best friends (and crush) for the only bed in your shared convention hotel room.

I officially have no decent sound equipment anymore. My bluetooth earbuds are fucked. These wired earphones will last 3 months tops. If you can, please help me afford some proper headphones before that happens. In return, I promise to finally put out my youtube videos. ko-fi.com/lesbyearning

Regular reminder that I'm trying to run an Indie RPG Youtuber mentorship to help encourage coverage of smaller games!

Here’s a link to the resource—-please share with folks!! There is no excuse for using GenAI :( docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're referring to this favourite game designer and writer, it's pronounced Arm 💪- aan.

What does Final Fantasy X have to do with Rangers of a Broken World? Well, it's a chicken and egg problem where the chickens are giant relentless military machines sleeping under layers of buried rubble. The egg part? Designer @catlinggun.bsky.social explains: evilhat.com/the-programm...

Being a creative who's on social media far less than before (and lives in a place where people hear 'ttrpg' and think 'unusual file extension'), I often find myself struggling with feeling isolated. So if this describes you too, I send you a GINORMOUS HUG. kbye.

Zine Trek 2025 continues with a super last minute entry - I've got Super Normal Study Club zines ready for TableCon Quest in Singapore this weekend, which you can also find online at ehronlime.itch.io/super-normal.... It's a game about teenagers investigating weird phenomena around town!

#RPGaDay2025 Day 15: Deceive That's A Moray! by @armaanautomatic.itch.io is an absolute delight of a game in which two characters go on their first dates together, but one or both of them may secretly be a moray eel. Made with (reluctant) help from @pmakesthings.bsky.social.

I have three I can recommend, that I made with @pmakesthings.bsky.social : 1. Love is on Cards - Create your very own Holiday Rom-Com. 2. A Stitch in Time - Rescue forgotten places via time-travel and letter. 3. That's A Moray! - Your date may be an eel. You may be one, too. itch.io/c/5505641/du...

I want all of you dunking on this to imagine living somewhere where a USD2.99 itch game is more expensive than your lunch. “There’s no barrier to entry except pen and paper”. You forgot the requirement of being fluent in English, which is often a class and income marker.

Four stretch goals down! The fourth one happened while we were drafting this post! We get to bribe @mytholder.bsky.social to create us a brand new class. Thanks so much to everyone who's supported the project so far. buff.ly/j4uoP1Y
