The existential crisis that come with falling out of love with a hobby.

The Grindergard community Minecraft server is BACK with an all-new Create (& Create Aeronautics) focused modpack! Things are a little less structured this time around, so let's hop in and see what sort of shenanigans we can get up to, shall we? twitch.tv/anarisis

Nothing as good as having to make a whole party's worth of character pregens for learning a new ttrpg system.

Fantasy world-building tip: make something thats not a horse do the horse things. Need a carriage? Pull it with a giant rolly-polly. Till the fields with some kind of sword snake. Ride gallantly on your raptor-kangaroo monstrosity named "Charles" and bounce into the sunset.

One Last Fight is built around the grand finale of a Dungeons & Dragons-style fantasy campaign

I think I'm really cooking something special for codename Gobsports. Its super interesting to write a "combat" system where you technically don't win by defeating your enemies if they can still get the Orb in the goal. In the meantime, here's a picture of JORTS DAN, Underdog and crowd favorite.

Haven't picked up One Last Fight? We've also got brand-new game & expansion bundles available so you can jump right in. The rules are easy and the game can be played just about anywhere. Want to learn how to play? Here's a playlist of awesome community videos! ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPCm...

The Illuminate Expansion has some of my favorite weirdos like the Fool and the Hungry House. If the base game is the expected party roles and villains, this one is for trope twists or being a weird little guy.

Another game, another "hey wouldn't it be cool if I made up my own completely bonkers conflict resolution mechanic?"

JORTS DAN IS BACK. (I am working on project Gob-sports again, but considering making it a TTRPG this time because I think it'll make more sense)

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I think my goal as a game designer or illustrator is to make something that someone else wants to make fan art of.

Starting to realize that I might not be able to hold ttrpg thoughts and wargaming thoughts in my head at the same time. Taking a break from warhammer and immediately ttrpg design things are filling up in the old noggin. Thinking of revisiting Dreamers of the Hoop because that never felt baked enough

Starting to respool an old project, but needing some inspiration. What are some of your favorite environmental art pieces?

Yesterday, Brotherwise Games announced our Plotweaver Artist Search. We'll be hiring dozens of artists for our new RPG, including a Lead Artist whose role will kick off with a $10,000 commission package. If you're an artist or TTRPG fan, learn more about this awesome project at PlotweaverRPG.com!

Hey #PAXEast we're here at booth #12099! 👋 We've got copies of One Last Fight, and a demo table ready to roll! Folks are already having a blast trying it out :D We hope you stop by and say hi to Brian and the team!

Scrolling around about #OneLastFight and discovered it has a proper webpage now! hitpointpress.com/pages/one-la...

It feels like its been a long while since I've GMed anything, but I've got session 1 for a playtest tomorrow and it feels good to be using that part of my brain again! Love to be taking notes on a possible trail for a mystery! (I say possible because you never know with players where they're going)

Started painting some laser skeletons today! I don't know why its taken me so long to paint some necrons, they were one of the factions that drew me to the hobby. And of course I'd take the robot skeletons and make them into skeletons again.

Don't miss our special livestream launch event TODAY, March 13th at 2pm Eastern Time! Get notified: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctER... Join us for a Q&A with One Last Fight game designer @superrobotbear.bsky.social & HPP content lead @madeofcartoons.bsky.social! See you there!

Bonus Cat!! Also playing more Pokemon Pokopia! Twitch.tv/FaunAndGames

Deep in the ttrpg philosophy today: Rules exist to guide and regulate player action. Each rule can inspire (letting players know this new action is available) and/or limit (telling a player what is not available). What then draws us to games with rules? Is it the inspiration or the limits?

I am STRUGGLING with how pretty these are.

FYI 💫NOW💫 is your chance to grab a gorgeous solo Citizen Sleeper TTRPG! Both Cycles of the Eye, second edition, and Spindlejack, first edition, are available to preorder from Lost in Cult. They won’t be around forever! www.lostincult.co.uk/citizensleep...

My copy of #OneLastFight came into today and wow! There's so much good stuff! @hitpointpress.bsky.social did a great job with the physical product, everything is top quality. A THREAD First note: The cards! They got that good poker card weave texture that I love. Also the foils are hi-tech shiny.

Something about waiting at the dentist office, (or doctors, or bus stop) that really gets my creative brain flowing despite not having the ability to write anything down. I think I just need to be one of those people who carries around a notebook

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Now that One Last Fight is getting into peoples' hands I am very excited to hear the kinds of stories they tell. I have yet to play two games with the same tone, genre, or setting. I've fought corpo Dracula, a cat who turned everything to meat, and a sentient meteor! What you got going?

In my continuing study into what makes a game "fun" I have discovered that the "fun"ness of a game is actually like, third in priorities. More important are "the people you play the game with" and "does the game align to the group dynamic."

the Black Panthers were right

This was one of the reasons I stopped my online tutoring gig. I got one too many students telling me I was AI.

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

I can't believe I almost forgot about the holiest of all holidays - #goblinweek! but have no fear: if it's one thing I know how to do, it's to make a bunch of chaotic lil' guys very quickly. This year's theme: yarn. Goblin #1: Bobble-hat gob. #art

#GOBLINWEEK 2026!!!

today

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I might be getting into a new minis game that's going to involve me making a whole bunch of my own trenches. Excited to get back into scratch building!

Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Anna, a Swedish comic artist, illustrator, #ttrpg designer, character designer, sculptor, etc. I do a bit of everything, and if you like what you see, you can chip in and support me on patreon.com/annalandin annalandin.itch.io #art #comics

I always think about this when it comes to wanting to play a new game. If you're the GM, that means you are learning that game on your own time and teaching that game to people who, even if they have access to the materials to learn, more often then not expect to be taught through play.

I have realized that emotes are like punctuation for non-sentences where you want to acknowledge the other person's input, but don't feel the need to add onto or encourage further discussion.

“I am an AI hater” amazingly written anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I have successfully made my annual mistake of eating too many cookies.

Might've convinced some local folks to play some Necromunda! Here's the factions I've been working on:

Is there a name for the sort of modern, psychological fantasy that things like Persona, Utena, or The World Ends With You get into? There's something special about the blending of scientific terms and research and using it to describe things both ancient and developing. The blend of mind and matter

A few years ago, Friday asked me "What if we made a book about GMing romance?" That book, brought to you by the brilliant minds and hands of folks from all across the #TTRPG space, is now ready to be on your digital bookshelves and tables! Very very proud of everyone who contributed 💖

Sat down to do an art today for the first time in awhile and OH BOY am I in an observation slump and being real dissatisfied with what I'm doing. But only one way to get over that. Gotta get back to doing art more regularly.
