Games fill this citadel, along with the mages to play them. This week we're having the first (of many, we hope) community game night! @krasiph.bsky.social is leading a learn-to-play session of The Beckoning Dream using our new quickstart. Join us! chat.infinite-citadel.com

If I've made something you like, please share it! Be loud about it! It's amazing how often a few genuine shares / word-of-mouth signal boosts can do wonders for indie creators. Also, leave reviews! #ttrpgcommunity

legit i think the most successful i have been at selling a ttrpg was when a random post about one of mine got a bunch of reblogs on tumblr. if you like something made by an independent creator (not even just ttrpgs! podcasts, webcomics, videos, whatever) you gotta be loud and annoying about it

My colleague and I are chatting about our library Tarot project on May 18!

Truly a perfect news alert

What TTRPG designer would you like to hear GM a one-shot of their own game? (Bonus question: who would be the coolest special guest player for that one-shot?)

If you see this, post an eye 👁️ #artshare #art #tarot (art by @cellsdividing.bsky.social)

Managed to trim down 35 pages of material in the quickstart. While 100 pages is still not the *quickest*, 54 pages is for all of the rules. The other roughly half is the intro adventure and all the tables/possibilities you need to run it. #ttrpg #tarot

🧵 (1/X) There's a moment every creator dreads: when someone explains your own work back to you For me, that moment came when a Spaniard saw #KOKOTÖNA and went on a mini rant about how the Aztecs were ACKSHULLY a colonizing empire who subjugated neighboring peoples and practiced human sacrifice

Just finished "Nonviolent Communication" by Rosenberg. Incredibly insightful and challenging book. I've been able to apply its lessons a few times already and there's a ton of value in how its shaped my understanding of empathy & communication.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

Finally getting a chance to work on this book nook kit I got for Christmas. Very excited to see it taking shape.

Originally I created Futureless Foes to streamline a particularly complex bit of mechanics; give folks a release valve when they want to Duel, but take less time or invoke less cognitive load. But it also presents an opportunity to talk about *THIS EXACT THING*. Stop NPC-ifying people. #ttrpg

My new video is out on YouTube now: "Why the New York Times Loves Stupid Questions" youtu.be/ztQJ7XGuPhc

I put new t-shirt designs in my shop! They're perfect if you're mad at the government. I also released a new Baphomet art print. Check the new releases section: https://www.cellsdividing.com/collections/new-releases 🐈‍⬛

I really wanna hear about people’s #ttrpg character arcs… share them with meeee

A huge part of The Beckoning Dream's design is focused on making card randomness *enjoyable*. There are lots of ways to make a bad card good, or to use "failure" to your advantage. Each play moves the game state forward. You're never spending time doing nothing.

This game is a lesson. Seek the hidden meaning within each card's art to unleash its power. #ttrpg #tarot #art www.patreon.com/posts/beckon...

My goal, always, when I do photography, and especially LARP photography, is to tell the story of my subject. To capture the essence of the moment and show it as cinematically as we remembered it, almost like we took stills from a movie and posted it! #larp #larpohotography #photography

In ttrpgs, I think you should do the RP and then roll to see how well it went. People seem to think you fail at something because you weren’t eloquent enough. Sometimes, no matter how good your argument, no matter how impassioned your speech, you’re not gonna reach them

TTRPG SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: CW: CSA materials I've just heard from a trusted source (with evidence linked below) that @ colbosch. bsky. social was arrested in June last year for possession of CSAM. Sharing this info so that others can look into it for themselves and keep themselves safe.

This is so awesome. Reading this is like one of those Physical 100 challenges where each round they attach heavier weights to you

Quick questions for TTRPG publishers that I’ve asked privately but it’s been a bit: 1. If a form of coverage (AP/review/other) has transformed your sales overnight, what was it? 2. If you could wave a wand & have one creator/creative/media outlet praise or play your TTRPG, what would you wish for?

I'm so excited to share this artwork with the world. And on a personal note, you should absolutely work with Jenn if you get the chance! Here's a side-by-side of my original sketch and the incredible final product. #ttrpg #art #tarot

i made a starter back of beautiful and unique manuscripts you can browse online! (with links) for anyone that wants a good way to spend an afternoon :) open.substack.com/pub/weirdmed...

Behold, data nerds, I have tabulated Evil Hat's crowdfunding data (launch date, total funding, backer counts, some adjustment for inflation, etc) from 2012 through to a couple hours ago. Check the tabs along the bottom* to get at some graphs/pivot tables. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

With our illustrious GM @wuz.quest off at GAMA, there won't be a new episode of "Tales of Caerwyn" today. Be sure to check out the VODs on YouTube if you've missed any previous eps, and otherwise we'll be back next week with brand new tales! #ttrpg

Part of the joy of making games is getting to work with incredible artists like Jenn. Her art is iconic, meaningful, and speaks to the potent surrealism of dreams that is at the heart of this game's themes. #ttrpg #tarot #art

HEIR OF SWORDS SPOTTED

I’m excited to finally show a book cover illustration that I made for a new TTRPG called The Beckoning Dream! It combines the artistry of tarot with the mechanics of deck building. If you want to check the game out it’s being published through Infinite Citadel! Find them at @infinite-citadel.com

Temp Upgrades and Bog God spotted! 👀

Episode 89 of Tales Does Tales is live! What will the Pebblecule do in the wake of Wynvyre's death? What other deadly horrors await them in White Plume Mountain? #ttrpg #dnd twitch.tv/tales_of_ini...

The absolute terror of submitting events to GenCon and wondering if there is gonna be some catastrophic typo...
