It's always a joy to talk to Meg and Vincent. Ben facilitated a really fun conversation here, orbiting around Apocalypse World and spinning off into all kinds of game design thoughts.

Welcome to Hellstruck, formerly Awestruck, until that damn rock was discovered. This is the wild weird west where anything can happen. So get yourself a posse to stake your claim or hunker down until the dust settles. #ttrpg #actualplay #natfunpodcast #podcast #natfun @monkeyecho.bsky.social

#lodelrol Cuando el sol cae y la gente calla en la cantina, los demonios salen de las minas y caminan entre el polvo. No basta con disparar rápido: hay que saber sobrevivir a la oscuridad. A Fistulf of Darkness, de @monkeyecho.bsky.social, llegará muy pronto a la ciudad...

Looking forward to visit Spiel in Essen next week. Will wear my A Fistful of Darkness shirt. I hope for some cool indie ttrpgs from my wishlist. #spiel #spiel2025

Had a cool commute back home, listening to the @diceexploder.com podcast, listenting to Sam and @megueyb.bsky.social talking about "Fan Mail" from Primetime Adventures. I think that exactly what I'm looking for to inlcude more tokens in my game. Thanks for the inspirition. Buying PTA right away!

I guess I need to update my resume.

My friend Eli just finished their game Sword Opera: a breathtakingly good take on the Forged in the Dark formula. It's got duels, a fantastical setting that reminds me of the Green Bone Saga mixed with Shakespearian magic, and lots of potential for melodrama. mythicgazetteer.itch.io/sword-opera

Working on an alternate optional ending for your A Fistful of Darkness campaign. #fitd #afod #ttrpg #art

My hill: kids are naturally creative and artistic. You give kids paper and something to draw with and you will get the wildest shit ever created. It's an actual tragedy & horrifically anti-human to be shoving AI on them and encouraging them to stunt that essential part of themselves.

Quick reminder: you can quickly give ratings to any game you've downloaded on your FEED tab on Itch. Ratings are super easy ways to help out designers! Go forth and give the gift of discoverability!

You know what's really fun and cool? Fandom. You know what can be super weird and gross? Fandom. I've been thinking about a potential way of taking the idea of fandom and combining it with a Stars & Wishes-style end of session thing Thread 1/5

Frodo Baggins, yet another rich nepo baby carried across the finish line by his employee.

Two times a month, I talk to @epidiah.bsky.social about games, game design and experiences from being long-time independent publishers. This is one of those times.

Trying it again with music

For a game designer, especially us smol beans, hearing that one of your games has been played is-

Last week my home group hit a big milestone: One of us---somebody who has never GM-ed or written a game before---ran a game they wrote themselves. It was a blast! Fun is abundance. I can do it. You can do it. This is the point: more people making, playing, sharing, encouraging each other.

Trying to keep it fun and therefore working on a second new playbook for the A Fistful of Darkness Companion. The Emberborn: Child of the flame, forged in the Beyond. Experimenting a lot with fire, lately. #ttrpg #art #aFoD #fitd

Voting is up for the #ENnies and #ZephyrRPG is up for one for Interior Art! vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025 This thread is about the 4 year long art process for Zephyr, and what made it unique. The TLDR: Each of the 100+ spreads in Zephyr was made by me while I was learning how to draw. 1/29

Wenn Rollenspiele in bekannten Welten wie Dune, Star Wars oder Mittelerde spielen, dann wird das einige Fragen auf. Spielerische, aber auch geschäftliche. Wir haben sie mit Thomas Michalski von Ulisses Spiele besprochen. www.3w6-podcast.com/podcast/2025...

Thread of Robin Hood characters drawings! First up: Robin Hood! "Unfairly/trecherously displaced noble" Robin is a later invention to make the stories more palatable to a moneyed audience; in the best versions he's a charismatic yeoman (i.e. commoner not legally tied to a noble's land) trickster.

Help me survive the summer with the SUMMER SURVIVAL SALE. All my games are half-off for the month of July so that I can keep living and paying bills. Don’t got money? Share the sale! Post about my games! Everything and anything helps! Thank you! itch.io/s/156160/not...

Some Art WIP for the A Fistful of Darkness Companion ... because making art is more fun than writing text.

Wanted to cast a self-deprecating joke; it is also an AoE spell. All creatives, save vs. impostor syndrome (DC 17). On failure, become incapacitated by the creeping suspicion you don't actually know what you're doing. Effect lasts 1d4 business days, or until positive feedback is received.

are wallpapers still a thing? Should I create some for A Fistful of Darkness? Are there any fans out there who want some? To make clear how old I am: I'm talking backgrounds for your PC's desktop... not phones / handhelds. IMO too few space to show off something impressive. #wallpaper #ttrpg #afod

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social make some of the most streamlined TTRPGs. I really love how both Disaster/WING and Disaster/PEACE boil FITD down to the bare minimum while still incorporating genre tropes.

Crescent and Exile have been sent to print. Now published by Mythworks. Stay tuned for delivery by late Summer. 🌙

thanks to everbody who gave A Fistful of Darkness the full 5 star review on itch. You're awesome! You know how to make my day. #itch #review #fivestars

New episode of Dice Exploder Afterimage, this time about City of Winter from @heartofthedeernicorn.com. I found this game causing me to reflect on my own life, legacy, mortality, and need to make art at a particularly poignant time in my life. It's a beautiful game.

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it. If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced. If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking. Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.

After 3 years for sale on DriveThruRPG, Runecairn Wardensaga is 10 sales away from Gold! To kick it over the finish line, it's on sale for 50% off, this weekend only. Now's the best time to get this kickass 2-player Viking fantasy Soulslike #TTRPG! www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3856...

Sesión XX de "A Fistful of Darkness". Vía Muerta. www.twitch.tv/videos/24389...

Slugblaster's excellent. Runners in the Shadows is my favorite edition of Shadowrun. Moth-Light is the Nausicaa game that I let slip through my fingers the last time I had a chance at it that I desperately need to recapture. But right now? I'm going to heartily recommend A Fistful of Darkness.

While it's not yet live, Bump will soon be available (along with Blades and Fistful of Darkness) on the really cool platform Playbooks in the Dark! It's a very robust webapp that has great functionality and looks nice too! thedark.iswhywecanthavenicethings.fyi

Heya! I'm Izzy, I make sci fi and fantasy art for games, gamers, and game-makers. Character pieces start at 20 USD, and I'm happy to work with you at any budget whatsoever 🤓 No AI, ever. #ttrpgart #art #ttrpg

Stride into perilous worlds and give 'em hell with lead and grit. We Deal in Lead is a weird west gunslinger #TTRPG, available now in hardcover. shop.byodinsbeardrpg...

Very excited to share that I will be spending Free RPG Day 6/21 at The Sanctum Tabletop Gaming Emporium in Racine, WI. I'll be part of a panel on horror in gaming and then running a session of Bump! If you're in southeastern WI, I'd love to see you there!
