It’s quite well-designed, if I may say so 😌

Posts like these make me sooooo happy

Made a lil first draft Ivory Tower character sheet this week and I'm pretty proud of it! Gonna put it up as a free PDF included with Ivory Tower purchases on Itch, thought I'd share on here

I get to be in this today! Come on down, see me in a cowboy hat 🤠

Is anyone else having a blast with Legend in the Mist's new D&D conversion tool? Because I am having a blast with it, personally

Did a lil work on the first draft of the R.A.T. System’s character sheet, pretty proud of it Hacking some cyberpunk #mausritter fun

Running @hellomcdm.bsky.social’s Draw Steel! for the first time tonight and I’m very excited!! Anyone have advice for someone running the Delian Tomb for the first time?

Can’t wait for this to come out, lotta fun things in it 🤠

I ran Mythic Bastionland for the first time and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it sense. I am so, so excited about the saga of A Court of Salt and Silver

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

I missed the day, but my game got announced by @rascal.news! Really, really enjoy the work they do. It feels really cool to have my lil press release in their announcement section www.rascal.news/ivory-tower-...

Had a great time talking Ivory Tower with Matt and Rob at @dmofnone.bsky.social, give the episode a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

It’s so fun to hear folks I haven’t talked much about Ivory Tower to describe it. When they just get the game’s core essence without needing me to explain the thing I feel transcendent www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bud3tv/

In honor of THE GAS STATION getting nominated for "Best Multiplayer TTRPG", I'm making it free until the morning! Win or lose, I really love making games!

Me when one of my 5E games agrees to pivot to Mythic Bastionland for awhile:

👀 whats all this then?

Hey @explorersdesign.bsky.social! I made a lil press kit for a TTRPG I published and was sending it to periodicals I admire. The Exploreur’s on the list, but there’s no established way to contact on your site that I could find. Figure that may be intentional, but if you’d like the link let me know

Hey folks! I’ve asked elsewhere and now I’m asking here: what’s your preferred character sheet? What system is it for, and why do you like it? Brainstorming for an Ivory Tower official sheet www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BBv4rE/

Finished these flows up today! These updated visuals are going inside Ivory Tower real soon to help folks understand how to build and roll the game’s dice pools and to help walk them through the fallout process

Watched Death of Stalin for the first time since finishing Ivory Tower yesterday and it reminded me of all the elements from it that knowingly (or unknowingly) informed the game’s design Always fun to find and revisit media that impacts you creatively

New lost page discovered: THE VERDANT KNIGHT

We're reaching the end of the Dragon Slayers campaign! I would love to hit $15k, so any boosts and support are greatly appreciated! (also that Dragon Horde tier is still available, just saying) www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

So, so, so excited to see everything Spencer’s got in store for this one!

Hey folks! I’m getting ready to run a Blades ‘68 game and I’m curious: what’s your favorite thing about Forged in the Dark game mechanics?

Just bought my copy. Go and show some support to an indie creator If you can't afford it, snag a community copy, read it, play it, and tell people about it.

One week in and Dragon Slayers is funded! But! If you look at the list of classes, everyone's favorite holy warrior and tree hugger are missing. What if we doubled the funding and brought them to the game? www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I am a normal amount of excited about this

Sitting at 95%, today feels like a good day to get Dragon Slayers funded. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Anyone here have experience taking a brand new TTRPG to market/promoting the product once published? This is definitely the side of game designing that I know the least about and I’d love to learn

Even in early playtest, the drama engine that is this game kept me up at night. It pushed me and my fellow players into deep and beautiful truths about each other. It broke my heart and ignited my imagination and I absolutely cannot recommend it highly enough.

Last year, after a few lovely days at GenCon, I set a goal that I would come back this year with a TTRPG designed and published. I (and the many kind friends who helped me) did it. Ivory Tower's done and in circulation! I'm really grateful. The cycle continues. Here's to all that's to come!

Thanks to everyone sharing and supporting, I am right on the cusp of having all of rent covered! Hopefully just one more push, and i can go back to just posting pretty pictures and not begging people to buy my games, lol.

Booth 564 is the place to be! Spencer and Will are absolutely wonderful and I got to grab Torq after eyeing it for forever

Got to get copies of LOOT and REAP at the con, it was one of my weekend’s highlights! 10/10 recommend

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

GenCon, what a blur

Over 90% funded! Let's get that last $1000 and make Dragon Slayers real. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I wouldn't shilling so hard if it wasn't an emergency. Had some unexpected expenses this summer (which is the slower season for my household) and we are try to catch up. Please consider grabbing EVERY PAID GAME I HAVE for $15 bucks and/or sharing this around. Thank you so much!

This was an incredibly fun and wild and heavy game to play test. Y'all...it's SO GOOD! GO GET IT!

So proud of Mason!

Hey so Mason wrote the most interesting TTRPG I've played all year and it's up with a metric TON of community copies right now?? Also, @emilygreymoore.bsky.social killed it on the layout. Pure art.

Mason CRUSHED this project. Check it out!

My friend Mason designed this rad fucking thing. I was really lucky that I got to watch him design and develop it. I got to watch him chat through ideas and I got to participate in some fun conversations about this game. It’s RAD! Buy it! There are community copies, but BUY IT!

I was lucky enough to earlier playtest this. If you like the idea of sitting on the council of a magical flying city vying for political power - you'll dig this. (And he's got 1000 community copies available just for the first week so go grab one!)

Your world has ended. You’ll still rule it. Ivory Tower’s a Sparked by the Resistance TTRPG made by me! Play archmages vying for sole control of their flying city as the world ends around them. As of today, all 200 pages of it are available for download on Itch! riftkidgames.itch.io/ivory-tower

I’m always excited by at least one @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social game. Ways and Means has my Heart filled with anticipation. My Spire campaign is one of the best games I’ve been in and I’m always excited to run. And then I’m about to finish my Sparked by the Resistance game! That’s exciting too!

I drew a cover for my game Then I made a cheeky lil alternative color scheme to put on a t-shirt I am proud of both of them

Fantastic thread. Hey rpg community? This is the type of stuff we want. These are the good posts. Genuinely good advice, uplifting to the general community, actually helpful. I love this. That’s a follow from me.

It’s wild to me that people rage bait on Bluesky. There’s no algorithm. Rage bait gaining you profile clicks does not boost you anywhere. It is pointless. It just makes you an asshole.
