One of my favorite bits of MOONCROFT MANOR is the rules for Duels! The gist: mages choose their Spell and roll—but the rolls are concealed beneath a cup. The outcome is determined but unseen as the Duel occurs. Then the mages declare how badly they intend to hurt their opponent. (1/4)

The rhythm of play in MOONCROFT MANOR swings between low-stakes exploration and socialization, and dramatic events that shake up the status quo—galas, festivals, duels, and more. #ttrpg #rpg #indie #crowfunding

Very stoked for this. Yesyesyes

mr beast would secretly smuggle a xenomorph to earth

BTW I made this super cool adventure for CBR+PNK OVERLOAD for @mythworks.bsky.social and just got the OK to publish it on my itch and webstore so you can expect this to drop soon. I went ALL IN on this layout and really hope it fits well with the work of @cabinetofcuriosities.games ^^

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove was a big surprise. Kind of Becky Chambers-esque, but silly horror via a space ship AI's POV. A delight!!

I finished 13 books in January!! My favorites were A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine, The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar, and Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Here's the full list in order of completion:

I love judging books by their covers. My favorite art of the day

its the last day, but the proudest of my blog articles ive written is my first one on interactivity and tactility in rpgs. Its such an undiscussed topic that informs a lot of design and issues with design, and of which id love to write more on in the future

My game 4-page #ttrpg 'Deep Space' is free. Zilch. Nothing. Zero. You don't have to pay a penny if you don't wanna. No moola, no problem. It's a neat little scifi adventure #rpg I'm really proud of, and there's a load of extras if you really want them. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

All of my games, albums, stories, and adventures are currently on sale on Itch and you can grab the whole bundle for £150. Help me cover my bills (including a monster tax bill) and grab yourself a bargain in the process. itch.io/s/179351/jan...

This, to me, is dungeons and dragons

Dragon v Gryphon Where does the dragon end and the gryphon begin? This is admittedly more abstract than my usual style, but I’m happy with it. #art #fantasyart

We're not publishing today. Instead of reading a new story today, we hope you'll join us in attending @minnmax.com's ICE OUT charity stream in collaboration with @giantbomb.bsky.social at 7pm ET 💜 www.youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

It costs $0.00 to support a Mecha artist

The sci-fi art of John Berkey Berkey, along with Burns, Foss, Harris, Whelan and Mead defined sci-fi art for me growing up.

I had a dream last night where I was at a nameless TTRPG convention and @gshowitt.bsky.social had blown his marketing budget on hiring real bears to run a game of Honey Heist. Incredible scenes; Christopher Nolan wishes he could direct the kind of carnage my brain was serving up to me

extremely cool swyvers jam happening here

*chuckles* I'm in danger. I was unaware of Orbital Blues Month!!!

Witchflip is out now! You are an undying witch that needs to skate! This is for the #48wordRPGJam! It was a ton of fun to make. Check it out! junkfoodgames.itch.io/witchflip

It's basically no big deal to go on an adventure

sometimes a board or card game's first couple rounds go so poorly that everyone agrees a do-over would just be more fun. i'm feeling that about 2026 in a big way

People will tell you System Doesn't Matter until it's time to roll 1d4+6 to determine how many fries come in your micro meal

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.

Chance Encounter Games in Seattle is AMAZING. Support your indie shops!!

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Know the table culture! When a dragon spends a meta currency to make a pan fall from the sky and hit me on the head: Awww, you're sweet ❤️ When the GM makes a pan fall from the sky and hits me on the head: HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?

i just got a new job at Bluesky Inc. where my job is i'm the person who decides if your links embed successfully on Discord or not. on a good day i spend about 7.5 hours on the toilet

this is a very good boy

ME: (puts the kettle on) ANCIENT GREEK CHORUS: he's had too much caffeine today ME: (turns kettle off, visibly annoyed. puts mug away) CHORUS: he can run from the kettle but not from his blood pressure

On an internet full of poisonous gamer subcultures, this competitive scene has a giant crowd enthusiastically cheering "trans rights!" shoutouts like a dozen times an hour Obviously every scene has its pockets of toxicity, but this community could have turned out SO differently

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

One must imagine Sisyphus rolling the katamari. #AGDQ2026

Me, to my dad: "Oh maybe you'd like this podcast Shelved by Genre—they're gonna do Tolkien next year" Shelved by Genre: "Bofer deez nuts"

Starting off the New Years strong by teasing a cover I recently finished for a zine I'm in. I have more stuff in the works but for now I'll only show the cover. Very excited to see everyone's hard work come together! Also... it may or may not be #Over/Under related.

MeatCastle GameWare Annual #3 is coming VERY soon! Pre-order your physical copy now to get 6 #TTRPG supplements all in one zine: Mothership, Cairn, a one-page RPG, and more! Get it HERE: shop.meatcastlegameware.com/products/mea...

For reals more RPG books need cut scenes. This book reminds me a little of how Patrick structures his adventures. As we move through the book we learn more and more about this doomed king. Players don’t need to know his deal earlier, so why not leave it a mystery for the GM as well. It’s engaging.

btw wishlist it's solitaire on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3912770/...

FIST is on my short list to run in 2026 and this is a *killer* deal for the MANDELBROT SET campaign expansion

Random pencil doodle, the positivity dragon. Been sitting at my drawing table for a while sending me good vibes. May he send you good vibes too in the new year. #art #dragon #graphite
