Had our first real session of @hellomcdm.bsky.social’s Draw Steel Codex. Besides some sync issues (because too many new players enjoying the codex) it was a blast. The stuff this thing handles is already fantastic. Good job @dmhubvtt.bsky.social on this amazing product.

Draw Steel https://store.steampowered.com/app/2902740/ $19.99 Suitable for both new and seasoned Draw Steel players, The Draw Steel Codex includes all the core rules to Draw Steel found in Draw Steel: Heroes and Draw Steel: Monsters, as well as, The Delian Tomb - Start Here Adventure to get...

Draw Steel is available on Steam in early access! Been messing around with the playtest for a while, and it's a great way to play Draw Steel online. @dmhubvtt.bsky.social and @hellomcdm.bsky.social did an amazing job with this VTT store.steampowered.com/app/2902740/...

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II

Draw Steal on Steam (Codex) coming to early access tomorrow, Monday, 6th of April. Yay.

Ran our first London Night phase in The Between and it was truly amazing. A ghost got banished, and a family of cannibal pie makers nearly killed two hunters after a deadly game of cat and mouse. @jasoncordova.bsky.social and @gauntletrpg.bsky.social make great games. 10/10 no notes.

Been messing around with the Draw Steel on Steam playtest for a while now, and it's honestly impressive. It automates almost everything, yet allows you to override and manually adjust as required. It's also easy* to code your own effects and content using its inhouse script UI/language. Good stuff.

I ran a single game of The Between, and I'm already completely obsessed with the game. Maybe @thebadspot.bsky.social was right about it being good.

It's been a hot minute since I finished my solo play/writing exercise where I combine the RPG Fiasco with the Writer Emergency Pack to create a chaotic, fast-paced narrative of people with high ambitions and poor impulse control. behindthewallgames.com/writer-emerg... #TTRPG #amwriting

Ran my first game of The Between by @gauntletrpg.bsky.social and yeah, this system was designed specifically for me.

Happy release day @aptshadow.bsky.social !

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

I told folks in our Discord I’d show them the KS page early if we get to 5000 followers. Just 13 to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Hold on. One of my favorite authors @aptshadow.bsky.social and favorite sci-fi series, and one of my favorite game devs @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social are coming together to make a TTRPG? It's like all my nerdy obsessions over the last decade paid off in one big glorious singularity. Wild.

Writer Emergency Fiasco: Post Script Just a few thoughts on the end of the Writer Emergency Fiasco. Thanks for reading along.

What’s going on here @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com and @gilarpgs.bsky.social?

We’re sooo close to hitting our goal of 5000 followers on the Public Access campaign before launch. Help us out and please repost! A quote post with some positive thoughts on the game is a particularly big help! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

This is it, the final piece of fiction of this writing project/solo play I did using @bullypulpithq.bsky.social Fiasco as the engine and the Writer Emergency Pack as the prompts. Was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Subscribe to the blog if you like to see more of my stuff. #writing #ttrpg

Rat Trap: The Aftermath After the dust settles, Bill, Ash, and Jay must deal with the consequences of their actions. What follows is a montage of their lives after the Rat Trap--a true fiasco.

Writer Emergency Fiasco: The Aftermath At the end of Fiasco, every player gets to roll the dice they have collected over the course of the game, tally them up by color, and determine their Aftermath based on it all. Let's take a look at how it all shakes out for Bill, Ash, and Jay.

Tomorrow, I go into the Aftermath of my Writer Emergency Fiasco. Would love some subs and follows on this project, as it was a lot of fun to write. behindthewallgames.com #TTRPG #writing #FiascoRPG

Me and my variety gaming group will be starting The Between (@gauntletrpg.bsky.social) next week after a few weeks of playing Hollows (@rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social). Very excited to get into this system.

There are roughly 5000 residents of Deep Lake, NM, but only 4200 followers on the campaign so far. Give it a follow and help us get to 5000! You don't even have to move to a strange, isolated town in the desert! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Today wraps the main portion of my writing exercise/solo play of #FiascoRPG and the Writer Emergency Pack by @johnaugust.bsky.social Next week, I finish the project with the Aftermath. Catch with Ash, Bill, and Jay before then! #writing #TTRPG behindthewallgames.com/writer-emerg...

I've been doing all my writing in Ellipsus, whether it's for my blog, game prep for my Draw Steel games, or anything else. Worth checking out if you're tired of being stuck in shitty companies' eco systems.

Today is the last day of #GAMAExpo2026! We are still at Booth 376 so stop by while the Exhibit Hall is still open. @segedy.bsky.social and @nathanblack.com await you, and @jmstar.bsky.social lingers around in spirit... #TTRPGs #RPGs #games

Rat Trap 2-12: Post Script Jay's final scene concludes the main portion of this Fiasco. One last look back at the scene and how the card "Puny Humans" brought us to were we ended this story, before we head into the Aftermath.

Public Access is a horror game about childhood trauma and the treacherous nature of memory. In an industry obsessed with cartoon gloss and chasing mass market appeal, Public Access just wants to scare you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

The legends at @hellomcdm.bsky.social are bringing us a Survival Horror, Loot Extraction, real time combat...TTRPG?! We're talking about the incredible new Crows: Fortune or Death TTRPG with lead designer @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM6x...

Do you mean like THESE photos with @nathanblack.com? Because yes, yes we do. #GAMAExpo2026 #FiascoRPG #TTRPG

The last scene of my Writer Emergency Fiasco, Rat Trap, dropped today. Combining the #FiascoRPG by @bullypulpithq.bsky.social with the writer emergency pack, the story ends with a bang … or does it? #writing #ttrpg

Rat Trap 2-12: Jay Lets Go Scene 12: This is it. Jay's at the end of the line, desperately holding on to control, and to his friendship with Bill. Can he find a way out of this, or is it time to let it all go?

Which is why we must push back harder. Write more, write fiercely. That’s how we keep our spaces alive.

For all the articles on generative AI, the media miss one simple point about generative AI: it's built to control us.

This week marks the beginning of the end. It’s the final card for the final scene of my writing exercise / solo play of #FiascoRPG #amwriting #writing #TTRPG

Rat Trap 2-12: The Card

New Patreon post from MCDM's newest designer: www.patreon.com/posts/151818...

Rat Trap 2-11: Post Script This was Ash's final scene, where her passivity and perceived weakness revealed themselves to be all part of a very chaotic, highly improvised plan, all thanks to the card "Cause and Effect."

Game Design: When Dice Tell The Story In many games, dice determine the outcome of a challenge. Sometimes, they can take over the story completely for a brief moment.

In the penultimate scene of my Writer Emergency Fiasco project, Ash is taking her fate into her own hands. I use @bullypulpithq.bsky.social Fiasco RPG together with the Writer Emergency Pack to procedurally create a story of very flawed people. behindthewallgames.com/2026/02/24/r...

Can we get to 3000 followers by the end of the day? Possibly! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Rat Trap 2-11: Ash Steps Off Scene 11: Ash is caught between a bomb and guy with a gun, trying to distract him long enough for Bill to take him out. One way or another, she will get off this train. Whatever the cost.

Rat Trap 2-11: The Card For Ash's final scene, the card "Cause and Effect" might just lead to a few revelations of what exactly her place is within this Fiasco.

New video! Mostly a product announcement, but *some* interesting info in there. youtu.be/VjE23O2VArI

Rat Trap 2-10: Post Script Looking back at Bill's finale scene of this story. Did he find himself trapped in the Fly Paper, or was he trying to bait someone else?

Just recently, I posted Scene 10 of 12. Two more scenes to go. The project and story will conclude March 10, when the Aftermath is released. Get caught up before it all comes to an end in a truly spectacular Fiasco. behindthewallgames.com/writer-emerg... #FiascoRPG #Writing #TTRPG #Soloplay

Draw Steel is, in my opinion, the best of the genre. The go-to game for our weekly campaign.
