And to properly tag the creators: Reanimated is by @trappedchest.bsky.social Slasher is by @samarmstronggames.bsky.social The Haunting of Cliff Cove is by @rrookstudio.bsky.social Spectral Exterminators is by @dankdungeons.bsky.social The last two were sent to me by @plusoneexp.bsky.social

I recognise that game! Thank you for the kind words and for putting Slasher alongside such awesome games!

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch? The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive. Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

It's my birthday! To celebrate I'm running a 0% off sale on Tales From The Spectral Sea. Thats right, you get to swashbuckle through the afterlife as a traumatised pirate, and I get a little bit of birthday money. Dont hesitate, buy it now! ko-fi.com/s/531c7dfabc

People were posting about Agon yesterday, but surely this is the deal of the day.

Okay, which of you lot made this? Because my partner got it for me from a board game convention yesterday and it's AMAZING. And also: I know you're in this fandom somewhere! (Mention of OFMD is from a cool section at the back of the book listing piratey books, film, games etc to check out)

I'm so excited for this game! Stop wasting your time reading this and go back it!

For the past few months, my main focus has been Five Minutes, Not 5e ( #5mn5e), a series of interviews with designers breaking down the basics of their games. There's 4 entries currently out, with more on the way! This announcement over on Rascal sums it up! www.rascal.news/ttrpgs-expla...

Just submitted my entry today! (and it's free for a limited time!)

I made an expansion for the wonderful GM-less TTRPG A Complicated Profession by @alwayscheckers.bsky.social This is my (admittedly high effort) submission to the @samarmstronggames.bsky.social TTRPG supplement jam You can download it there: cal-does-things.itch.io/a-dirty-situ...

So, on 29th August, the US is ending de minimis treatment for parcels under $800 value globally. It's already done this for China; now it's going to come in for everyone. If you post parcels to America, this is going to affect you, in one of several ways.

This was great fun to record and gives a really quick overview of Spectral Sea. Thanks for having me on!

Right about now, the

We love new book day 😍 so excited to add this game by @samarmstronggames.bsky.social to my ever growing game library!!! The art is gorgeous and the premise is so much fun!

So you've hopefully heard me shouting about my game, Small Folk in Big Coats. But did you know all the art is by the wonderful @fibbermcgee.bsky.social ? She's done a banging job with this, and the game will look great as a result www.kickstarter.com/projects/sam-armstrong/small-folk-in-big-coats

With so many #ttrpg crowdfunds launching in 2025/26, it’s hard to keep up, so let’s start sharing our projects for #ttrpgteaser! - Like & reskeet this post - Showcase your projects below - GenAI gets you blocked 🚫 #Kickstarter #BackerKit #GameFound #crowdfunding #selfpromosaturday #IndieGame #RPG

Check out Sam's game!! It's so cute! :)

i did the art for this! it sounds fun! check it out!

Have you heard about my next game yet? Small Folk in Big Coats is a chaotic little rpg about little guys masquerading as one big guy, trying to stop bickering long enough to get anything done. If that sounds cool, go give it a follow! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sam...

The time is here, you can now buy my RPG about swashbuckling through the afterlife, Tales From The Spectral Sea. You can grab the physical copies on Ko-fi and the PDFs on itch ko-fi.com/s/531c7dfabc sam-armstrong.itch.io/spectral-sea

📢 ISO of Devs Affected by Itch 📢 If your game got: • Deindexed • Removed • Payouts turned off Especially if you make Adult &/or LGBTQ+ #IndieGame or #VisualNovel, I want to talk to you. 🗣️ Please reply below with how you were affected. This is for a #Journalism piece. 🔁 RTs Appreciated 🔁

There are SO MANY deserving games for extra content, I'm going to have to try to write something for this 😍 what Indie games would YOU like to see more content for?

So happy to see all the support for the Indie Adventure Jam! Only a few days in, and there's already a couple of submissions. There's still plenty of time to join in and make something cool for your favourite game. What are you waiting for? itch.io/jam/indie-ad...

This looks so cool, can't wait to see all the new series that come out of it!

I've been writing unofficial supplements for TTRPGs I like for the past three years and I can confirm it's a great habit to have. Not only do you train yourself to write under the unique constraints of different systems, but you build up a pretty diverse game design portfolio, which gets you jobs.

My first thoughts to write an adventure for: - Fantastic Adventure Rules (FAR) or In the Light of a Ghost Star @n8hps.bsky.social - Ghosts and Goons or Star Borg @jpcoovert.bsky.social - Skate Wizards @michaelchsiung.bsky.social - I, Toaster @plusoneexp.bsky.social All really fun options.

Hey, what a cool idea, and might I suggest making something for Cottagecoe Goblin Lesbians Destroy Capitalism. Which is free, and for which just threw together a compatibility license. (or any of my other games, most of which I will be adding aforementioned license.) #ttrpg digthezig.itch.io/cgldc

you are ENCOURAGED to make something for RAD for this jam! Make a cool adventure for mutant Soviet ruin delvers to explore hipolita.itch.io/rad

Write an adventure for an indie system you read or played recently. Go on, do it. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a game designer. It doesn’t have to be great— it just has to be playable. One page, back and front. Three pages. An unformatted google doc. A postcard dungeon. Doesn’t matter.

We bully people into great things in the Plus One discord. Also if you want to support @vidityavoleti.bsky.social's Longsword @hipolita.itch.io's RAD @apesofwrath.bsky.social's Down We Go Tony's Through The Void Or one of our other house systems we would love to help you

So after a discussion in a discord server (and being told I'd be a coward if I didn't set this up) here's the Indie Adventure Jam. Make a THING for your favourite #ttrpg that doesn't have enough THINGS. Simple as that, you have two months. itch.io/jam/indie-ad...

Is this something people want to see? Idk Anyway, here is my day one recap of #ukge2025 @ukge.bsky.social Featuring some of the wonderful indie ttrpg devs and friendly faces I met!

"A swashbuckling saga of sad dead sailors..." now that sounds right up our street! ⚓ A huge thank you to @samarmstronggames.bsky.social who kindly gave us this beautiful hardback copy while we were at the UK Games Expo over the weekend! 🖤 Make sure you check out this new #ttrpg adventure 🛟

Look, it's the book! I'm very excited to play more of it very soon as well...

Got Tales From The Spectral Sea at UKGE this weekend. Can't wait to play it. Incase you didn't hear, I heard it was the hottest game at the con! @samarmstronggames.bsky.social

Finding the @uktin.bsky.social community was one of the best things I did last year. I've made a ton of friends, and the support in the community is second-to-none. @thecoppercompendium.co.uk has put together a UKGE map featuring TIN member stands. Make sure you visit them all, including us!

Hi! I'm Bert, I'm an illustrator looking for, well any kind of illustration job really. I've made several illustrations for covers and interior art for ttrpg zines and a few children's books. 🧳: bertdrawsstuff.carrd.co ✉️: [email protected] #PortfolioDay #illustrator #ttrpg #ttrpgzines

Thanks for the shout-out! I'd definitely appreciate a nomination for Wizard Problem, and everything else on this list is great too!

STICKER REVEAL for Sail the Oceans Queer! These beautiful stickers were designed by @fael-draws.bsky.social and we had way too much fun coming up with piratey puns. xD The stickers are available as an add-on to the BackerKit campaign, which is live for 9 more days! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

You have 2 hours remaining people. This is not a drill, 2 hours remaining.

An amazing achievement but still a fraction of what they deserve! How they can consistintly put out so much high quality content is honestly baffling

We're in the last few hours to back my magical, swashbuckling #ttrpg about Sad Dead Sailors. You really don't want to miss this! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sam...
