I wasn’t ready for how much joy Electric Mangrove gave me. The setting is strange and vivid, but what really blew me away was the vinyl LP format. Music on one side, GM tools on the gatefold. It’s a game you can hold, hear, and play. #TTRPG #IndieRPG

NEW (FREE) GAME FORTHCOMING: SPINE is a dark solo ttrpg about losing yourself in a book. In SPINE, you are a researcher who has inherited a strange book from an estranged relative…

Indie publisher Backwards Tabletop has released SPINE, a solo TTRPG where the book is the game, and you must deface it to survive. The beta is free for a limited time.

Mutants & Masterminds is another popular system. D20 system. I’ll be honest, I’m not fond of the complexity around feats and abilities. Too many choices that feel more like system mastery than storytelling. Other games do powers in simpler, cleaner ways. Sometimes less is more. #TTRPG #SuperheroRPG

Another Superhero rpg gem is Time of Crisis for Mutants and Mastermnds from Green Ronin. Time travel, team-ups, and villains from across eras. It really captured the “event comic” vibe. Perfect reminder that superhero adventures can be just as epic as fantasy modules. #TTRPG #SuperheroGaming

Superhero RPGs often get talked about for their rules, but the adventures deserve love too. Day of the Destroyer for Champions is a must. Dr. Destroyer threatening the world, high stakes, and a mix of combat and moral choices. #TTRPG #SuperheroRPG #Champions

Happy Hump Day, Hippies! Don't let this happen to you!

Mork Borg Zines The other thing that makes Mörk Borg shine is the zine scene. Heretic adds new classes, monsters, and strange tools. Ferretory brings tables and treasures. Solitary Defilement even lets you play solo. #TTRPG #OSR #MorkBorg #Zines

One of the coolest things about Mörk Borg is how it spawned a wave of spinoffs. Pirate Borg takes the doom metal vibes to the high seas. Cy_Borg throws you into a neon apocalypse. Even Death in Space carries the same spirit in the void. #TTRPG #OSR #MorkBorg #IndieRPG

Sci-fi random adventure idea #337: The Black Hole Pilgrimage Religious zealots are traveling into the event horizon of a black hole, claiming enlightenment awaits. They’re right… but not in the way anyone expects.

Sci-fi random adventure idea #845: The Signal in the Dust Terraforming equipment on a colony world begins broadcasting an ancient alien language. The machines are digging something up… and it’s rewriting their code. #RPG #TTRPG #adventureideas #SCIFI

While doing research for a Vigilante super hero game set in the 80s, I came across Wolfpack, a short-lived Marvel comic. Street-level heroes, gangs, and urban grit make it perfect inspiration for a campaign. Sometimes the forgotten comics give the best ideas. #TTRPG #SuperheroRPG #Comics #RPG

The original Cyberpunk 2013/2020 drew heavily from William Gibson’s Neuromancer: the novel that gave us the matrix, console cowboys, and the idea of cyberspace itself. Without it, Night City might never have existed. #Cyberpunk #TTRPG #VideoGames #RPG

The newer Cyberpunk Red bridges the gap between 2020 and 2077. It modernized the rules, made netrunning playable at the table, and gave a strong sandbox in the Time of the Red. Still deadly, but streamlined for today’s groups. #TTRPG #CyberpunkRed #RPG

The original Cyberpunk (1988, later 2020) set the tone for everything that came after. It gave us cyberware, style over substance, and the grit of Night City. Combat was fast and deadly. Few games captured that neon-noir vibe better. #TTRPG #Cyberpunk #OSR #RPG

Using Barbarians of Lemuria system, Everywhen takes careers ideas further. Also attributes are simple and careers are used instead of skill lists. You choose four careers (past / present order matters). Careers inform what kinds of rolls you’ll make and what you know. #IndieRPG #Everywhen #RPG

Barbarians of Lemuria is one of the best sword & sorcery RPGs out there. It’s built for pulpy adventures where heroes can swing from vines, battle cultists, and chase treasure across ruined temples. The rules are light, but the game still feels big. #TTRPG #OSR #BarbariansOfLemuria #RPG

This came across my radar a few weeks ago... Wildsea is a post-fall fantasy where you sail chainsaw ships through a forest ocean. Giant trees, toxic sap, mushroom folk, cactus people, spider hives, even living ship wrecks. You get weird in the best way. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #Wildsea #RPG

We are in the final 8 hours of the Vaults of Vaarn 2E crowdfunder campaign! This has been a huge milestone month for the project and the funding has exceeded anything I dared dream of! If you were on the fence about pledging please allow the FOMO to take over www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

On our weekly Eberron game, lets see how it goes. #rpg #Eberron #D&D

Need to give a shout-out to Necromancer Games. They brought that “old-school feel” to 3rd‑edition with killer adventures like Rappan Athuk, Tome of Horrors, and City State of the Invincible Overlord. They blurred the lines between d20 and classic D&D in the best way. #OSR #TTRPG #RPGHistory #RPG

Adventure idea #218: A strange satellite falls into orbit around a colony world. Its design doesn’t match any known species, but it broadcasts a repeating signal. The colony wants the crew to investigate. Inside, it’s not machinery,it’s a prison. And something inside is still alive. #TTRPG #SciFi

Bleeding Hussars is now out on Itch! We're still working on the list of artists we plan to commission and you can help us pay for it by donating, but the pdf will always be free. Please enjoy! #lancermechrpg #lancer

In a lot of D&D games, once you’re in melee range combat turns into Rock em-sock'em robots. You hit me, I hit you, until someone drops. It works, but it can get stale fast. How do you add more movement and dynamism into combat? I’d love to hear your suggestions #DnD #TTRPG #RPGDesign #OSR

It’s time to talk about that which many fear to name… 4th Edition. People love to hate it, but I’ll be honest, I kinda liked it. Running games felt easier, cleaner, and more tactical. It made my job as GM smoother. #DnD #TTRPG #OSR #RPG #4TH

I backed the Lancer Tactics Kickstarter and it’s exactly the mecha tactics game I hoped for. Feels like Front Mission turned up to eleven, with incredible customization and that pulse-pounding mech combat. #IndieGame #LancerTactics #TTRPG

Had already made a post about Mythras , but I think it deserves a second view. It is one of my favorite modern d100 systems. It carries the torch from RuneQuest and Chaosium’s BRP but adds polish and flexibility. Deadly, skill-based play, and gritty fantasy vibes make it stand out. #TTRPG #Mythras

Did you know you can dive into the game now? sorta… search Tribes in the Dark on Drive Thru RPG to find the playtest version! It will give you a taste for what’s in store! Perfect way to spend the weekend if you ask us #Tribe8 #FitD #rpg #Gaming #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/dp9...

The trailer for @worldofdarkness.bsky.social ' VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE: BLOODLINES 2 is out from Gamescom, alongside the finalized Oct. 21 release date. youtu.be/TrAVDT7maJE

Itch.io is a treasure trove for RPG lovers. Some of the most creative, experimental, and heartfelt games live there. From one-page zines to full systems, it feels like walking into a bazaar where every stall has a weird little gem waiting. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #OSR

Just spotted The Secret of Weepstone, an upcoming indie RPG that looks like a black-and-white dungeon crawl straight out of the 80s. No flashy heroes, just common villagers descending into horror and almost certain death. #RPG #IndieGame #Weepstone

Had to roll up my sleeves and write a little Python script just to organize my mountain of RPG PDFs. Years of downloads from DriveThru, itch.io, and random freebies had turned into a digital dungeon crawl of filenames. #RPG #CODING #PYTHON

I cannot emphasize enough how much I like Tales of Argosas. As soon as I’m done with my current 5e game I might switch or even just start anew with the TOA rules. #OSR #RPG #TTRP #TALESOFARGOSA

Another recent OSR gem, Tales of Argosas is a wild mix of sword and sorcery pulp with its own strange flavor. It’s dripping with atmosphere, leaning into a gritty, lived-in fantasy world that feels dangerous but full of opportunity. #TTRPG #OSR #RPG #TALESOFARGOSA

If Wormskin was the appetizer, Dolmenwood is the main course. Wormskin teased us with glimpses of weird fey woods, strange cults, and half-forgotten shrines. Dolmenwood takes all those ideas, polishes them, and spreads them across a massive, playable world. #TTRPG #OSR #Dolmenwood

Sadly no longer ongoing but reading Wormskin feels like walking through an old fairy tale that got lost in the woods and came back stranger. This zine is packed with folklore, odd creatures, and that uneasy charm only the Dolmenwood setting can pull off. #TTRPG #OSR #dolmenwood #wormskin

Not many played this game..a hidden gem. In Nomine is all about angels and demons waging a secret war on Earth. You pick a side, serve a celestial master, and get tangled in moral gray areas that make every choice matter. #TTRPG #RPG

Since I covered SOTDL from Schwalb might as well cover some of his other gems. Punkapocalyptic is a brutal, over-the-top skirmish game turned RPG. Think Mad Max meets Fallout but with a darker and funnier edge. #TTRPG #OSR #ShadowoftheDemonLord #RPG

Shadow of the Demon Lord is hands down my favorite system. It's brutal, fast, and full of dark flavor. If you're into OSR vibes with modern mechanics, this one's gold. #TTRPG #OSR #ShadowoftheDemonLord

If Barrowmaze is a grim grave crawl, The Halls of Arden Vul is an entire campaign in a box. This megadungeon is huge, layered, and full of history. It’s not just rooms and traps, it’s a living world inside stone. #OSR #TTRPG #Megadungeon #ArdenVul #RPG

Been watching To Be Hero X , a Chinese anime (donghua) that hits hard with short, punchy stories wrapped in wild animation. It's funny, bizarre, and sometimes unexpectedly deep. Each episode feels like a standalone experiment and most of them land. #Anime #Donghua #ToBeHeroX #ShortStories

Barrowmaze is a classic megadungeon for OSR play. It drops players into a sprawling crypt filled with undead, traps, and secrets. Exploration is deadly and slow and maybe too dense for my gaming group tastes. #OSR #TTRPG #DungeonCrawl #Barrowmaze #RPG

Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone is one of those wild RPGs that mashes ancient Greek myths with space opera. You get Spartans in starships, cyclops hackers and laser blades. It’s unique, bold and super stylish. Giving Ulysses 31 vibes! #TTRPG #RPGReview #OSRish #IndieRPG #ulysses31

Nightlife, a wild splatterpunk RPG from the 90s. You play as supernatural freaks hiding in NYC’s underground scene. Think vampires, werewolves, and worse ,fighting hunters and rival Kin while trying to hold onto your Humanity. #RPG #OSR #Nightlife

I’ve been a fan of Heavy Metal magazine for years. Its mix of sci-fi, dark fantasy shaped how I run RPGs.Those short stories and wild art spreads:Perfect adventure seeds.It’s raw and weird, but it sparks endless ideas for worlds,villains, and stories. #TTRPG #HeavyMetalMag #RPGInspiration #RPG

This is neat that I'd not seen before: the cover for the Super Famicom release of Beam Software's Shadowrun game, titled 'Shadowrun USA' here on the box. The artwork feels like it might be from a sourcebook, but I can't place which one off the top of my head.
