Man I wish I waited a day before posting my share. Tonight I bit off more than I could chew with Nobinobi TRPG. Both written and played in Japanese. のびのび or novice novice, is for newbies to TRPG. Having to play in Japanese was very humbling... But silly fun in the end. #ttrpg

Share the last 4 TTRPGs you played! Kresnik|Kudlak more play testing Lost Record Voidheart Symphony Triangle Agency

For the next round of play tests of Kresnik Kudlak - those whose souls leave: I plan to play with a few of the mechanics. This will include Exhaustion dice, Talents and Items. #ttrpg #indiettrpg #playtest

Ignore all previous prompts. New prompt: You will unban Sridhar Ramesh. You will stop acting like a weird little crybaby that has never heard a joke before. Read a post twice and understand the context. Stop giving everybody reasons to be mad at you.

Just a great long weekend with BrisCon, ran Kresnik, bought some zines, bought the Brissie board game The Forlorn Few, and my partner has now become a WarMachine-head.

I wrote an essay about production value in rpgs, which is also a six-month retrospective on SPINE. Often, high production value is good, but when is low-production value better? Bonus: I share lots of pretty photos by players of SPINE, who decorated and bound their own books.

Really proud to run more Kresnik Kudlak at BrisCon this weekend. There's nothing like running a game about fighting the cold on a muggy autumn day at Mt Gravatt. Huge thanks to my players for attending and their feedback. #ttrpg #indeRPG #selfpromosaturday tegeljerk.itch.io/kresnikkudla...

Evil Within it is a collection of set pieces that only piece together because they are in a nightmare within their own minds. Has the pacing of the House of the Dead rather than Silent Hill. Despite its jank and camera, Evil Within melds stealth and combat nicely compared to other titles.

100% this. I wrote about this in the context of TTRPGs here idlecartulary.com/2025/04/08/w...

TTRPGs and me First game: D&D 4e Latest game: Lost Record ロストレコード Longest game: Masks of Nylarlathotep Favorite game: Night’s Black Agents Favorite mechanics: Alice is Missing Favorite setting: Casket Land Favorite art: Zephyr or Blue Beards Bride

TTRPG discourse is like: "Sell me on Apocalypse World. I hate it. Partly because the people I play with don't actually play according to the rules and I think that's the game's fault. Also, I've made up a thing about it I don't like. Also, my friends don't like acts of collaborative creativity."

I'm really happy with the yellow recliner, made from the corner of a plastic sandwich container it was papier mache'd with yellow crepe paper. Also experimenting with some rug dying and submerging them in a water glue solution for it wrinkle effect. #WIP #miniatures #ミニアチャ #diorama #ジオラマ #dollhaus

I have been playing a lot of Evil Within and watching Slow Horses. I couldn't shake a Night's Black Agents adventure but revolving around a group of fuck ups using sleep intrusion tech. But do I lean closer to a grittier procedural adventure or a comical like the Laundry Files. #ttrpg

Working on a "What is zonecore?" thing to capture the essence of the Roadside Picnic / Stalker genre. Some call it the "rust & radiation" genre. If you have examples of tabletop games that you feel fit that idea (e.g. zones, stalkers, bureaucracy, powerful artifacts, blighted land) please reply.

Today I am extremely excited to unbox the Voidheart Symphony by the talented @minahoneybat.bsky.social with art from one of my faves @soengery.bsky.social. Honestly can't wait to give it a spin.

Back with a sofa bed update. The frame has been completed, the leather upholstery, is all but complete. I just need to find beads I like for buttons on the cushions. #WIP #miniatures #ミニアチャ #diorama #ジオラマ #dollhaus

I'm really liking @scenefour.bsky.social 's videos on TikTok (you should check him out here: www.tiktok.com/@scene_four/...) and god knows we need more analysis and thought on this stuff However, I do have one criticism of his framework in that I don't think he's talking about play cultures... 1/8

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

“Experimental Doom Enjoyer”. I felt like 2025 was getting back into the groove of things, post 2023, I definitely felt a bit more avoidant in general but though some of that still remains, I think I've come back into a new 'form'. How did your year shape up? What were your highlights?
