Book cover artists QRP with your book covers! Some of my absolute favorite Retrograde illustrations were the zine covers, and I'm having a blast making the cover for Ephemeris too :3

Book cover artist thread! Love to draw them. My work is a combo of traditional media and digital colour, often charcoal, acrylic paint or pastels, and I like working on a variety of covers, but especially spooky, fantasy, or sci fi !

Did y'all know I have a print club?? 👀 This month members will be getting a risograph-printed vampire hunting RPG zine – The Eve of Bloody Stars! 😈🦇✨ Join the club by October 1 and get this zine plus a sweet new linocut print in the mail in just a few weeks! ko-fi.com/studiozosimos

The omens are clear – a bloody new adventure is about to unfold! 🔮✨ Ephemeris: Omens of the Blood Comet is a retrofuturist gothic horror RPG of vampire hunting, cosmic secrets, and bloody fates coming to Kickstarter in October!

I had an absolute blast printing Matt's awesome Unworthy on risograph! It was a joy to bring this game to life with print and risograph worked so well with the illustrations and vibes – it's a limited run so grab your copy while you can! 👀

zo51m05.bsky.social and I collaborated on a risograph-printed edition of Unworthy! Grab a tri-fold of the core rules and The Djinni's Lair for just $5 plus shipping. If you live outside the US, feel free to DM for shipping options! gomezwrites.com/product/unwo... #ttrpg #1pRPGjam

Fall is by far my favorite season – my no-AC apartment is livable again – but summer flew by this year, and I'm already missing it. I'm daydreaming of San Navarine, a whimsical adventure I wrote for Retrograde – hoping this can be a warm escape on cold days ahead ☀️ z051m05.itch.io/the-summer-o...

Hi, new followers! If you like gameplay-as-narrative, indie tabletop, and somehow also Himalayan Buddhism, you might like this niche-as-hell book we're publishing: emptymountain-ncd.itch.io/shrines

Just added some pre-generated player character options for my one-shot vampire adventure, The Eve of Bloody Stars – check it out! z051m05.itch.io/the-eve-of-b...

Oh to breach containment & satiate the hunger of the #Silksong crowd 🤞🐛 Shrink to size & explore a labyrinthine world of bug factions inside a sapient pear tree. Race against a ticking clock to shape the future of a dungeon that was never yours to delve... and escape before you grow to full size!

Reconnected with a friend I hadn't gotten the chance to see for years by playing RPGs together last night. At the heart of RPGs are human connection. That's incredibly important and incredibly powerful, and as a designer, you help make that happen.

Things I write are usually big pots I throw whatever I'm interested in into. I'm playing Dracula at a local theatre right now so there's a lot of fun theatrical, character driven, classic gothic horror stuff going into my vampire RPG 😈

Hi, Zaddy! Thank you for the space 🖤 If you're into weird and dark stories, I have unleashed this beastie: fangandtentacle.itch.io/carnage-on-c... It is still in its demo(n) form that's free to download, but it's growing larger with each passing day. Soon to be fully released!

With a little wax, the ritual is complete – away these Retrograde zines go across the cosmos!

Honestly it’s been a fantastic mail day because I also got all this wonderful stuff from @arlinortiz.bsky.social

I've had a ton of fun writing Ephemeris, and playtests have given me some great notes – I'll do some revisions this weekend and then I'll shift into focusing on illustrations and layouts! If you're looking for a gothic horror RPG, this is for you – here's a peek at the adventure awaiting you 👀 1/4

I'm back in the printshop getting more prints ready for Ephemeris! ✨ Ephemeris: Omens of the Blood Comet is a gothic vampire hunting RPG coming to Kickstarter in October! Unravel cosmic secrets in this adventure of supernatural discovery and bloody fates 🦇 www.kickstarter.com/projects/stu...

I was invited to design a tour shirt for the band Big Thief for their Double Infinity tour! My first band work :) Thank you Big Thief for an amazing opportunity Also, buy all these up so those guys don't feel like they lost money if a bunch of my shirts get stuck in storage and discount racks 😕

Ok TTRPG community, we often hear the same advice (justifiably), but what are you unconventional, obscure suggestions when it comes time to promote a project/crowdfund?

Hey! I have no idea how to do this, I’ve never made a List or Starter Pack before, but: ⭐️ If you’re a Games Writer/Narrative Designer looking for work, and you’d like to be added to my Starter Pack, lmk! ⭐️ If you’re looking to hire a Games Writer/Narrative Designer, check out this Starter Pack!

Well y'all. Before the Bog God is funded and stretched. The rest just gets more books and hands and helps @infinite-citadel.com grow and make more cool games like this possible.

We are finally moved in but still need to cover some of the miscellaneous cost that pop when you move! Any help would be appreciated!

All right, it's time to reveal who won the Bannerless Tabletop RPG Grant for September 2025! I got *240* applicants, and paring that down to 10 was rough going. There is truly a wildly diverse, crazy-cool body of work going on ALL around us. Here are 10 of my favorites!

Immensely grateful to receive one of Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grants!! Super eager to put this to good use continuing to develop Retrograde and getting more great RPG riso zines out in the world!

This #WIPWednesday, I'm working on illustrations for my upcoming vampire hunting RPG, Ephemeris! I've got a ton of linocuts cooking up for this game so lots and lots of carving ahead 😈 www.kickstarter.com/projects/stu...

🚨 Announcing: Rites of Renewal, a neo-pagan folk horror sandbox crowdfunding during Mothership Month. With words by @jlcable.bsky.social, fully illustrated with lino art by @pickledpennies.bsky.social, and published by Peregrine Coast Press. The Solstice is Coming. Will you join the festivities?

We are only a few backers away!!! We have just one stretch goal for this project which will unlock alternate cover art for all Auspex tier backers. I humbly petition you to join us in the bog.

We have reacheed the stretch goal to print the back of the scroll too, and as soon as this migraine lifts I'll even write an update. By the way, would you like a weird little spellbook? www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...

check PREQUEL out! pre-order store closes this week. Here's some details of my cover art, drawn to look like a precious ancient tapestry. What's it all about? check out the game and find out :-) #ttrpg

Glatisant is live on Kickstarter! 🛡🦌🌿 Your adventure awaits. Back in the first 48 hours and you’ll get a free linocut print of the sword and branch design, handpulled by @oddsandents.bsky.social. Help make this game a physical reality! tinyurl.com/bd949nbv

I love feeling the magic of real discovery at the table. More than other forms of writing, RPGs let me play with empty space, the half-known, scattering the puzzle pieces. Putting them together is such a big part of the fun, and you get to give that to your players.

Hope y'all are ready for spooky season cause I sure as hell am 😈 I'll be crowdfunding my new vampire hunting OSR game Ephemeris in October!! #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg #osr www.kickstarter.com/projects/stu...

Retrograde zines are getting shipped out this week!! I'm super excited to get this project out in the world 🚀💥✨ I spent the morning polishing up the ol' itch page – you can grab all 4 of Retrograde's core zines digitally for free!! z051m05.itch.io

Fight or Fright is a creative and straightforward game reminiscent of Costume Quest or that one Bob's Burgers episode. We think it'll be your new #trepg Halloween tradition! Hop I'm to #RPGZineClub so you can grab it and another brutal game dropping for members this October! RPGZine.club

I just backed this incredibly sick duet game and you should too!!

This same thought has been on my mind as I dive into playtests again. Your design decisions will never make everyone happy, but they don't have to – it's a question of if your choices ultimately serve the experience you're intending for

The campaign launches tomorrow. Have you made sure you're following to get notified? Shared? Made a pact with an ancient and forgotten lesser god? Well get on it! #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg #crowdfunding #eldritchhorror #horrogames #duetgames #dicegames

All Retrograde rewards are officially done!! I'll ship everything out to backers this week – then it's on to the next adventure mwahaha 😈🦇✨

First Ephemeris playtest is off to a great start! Love getting to GM a character-driven adventure and seeing different folks' investigative styles bounce off each other – already have some good notes too and excited to see where it goes next!

Have my first proper playtest for the full version of my vampire RPG Ephemeris tonight! Super excited to see how it goes – if you want a sneak peek of Ephemeris you can check out a one-shot version for free here! z051m05.itch.io/the-eve-of-b...

In a normal month every member of my print club gets an art print, a zine, and a bonus goodie like a sticker or postcard. Print club members can also vote on the topic of the next issue's zine! You can join my print club on kofi here! ko-fi.com/studiozosimo...

The dead forest shivers below the fire of the comet – the cosmos stirs as great and terrible secrets unfold... #printmaking #linocut #rpgart

Carving continues! Super excited to see how this piece turns out – should be ready to print tomorrow! #linocut

God riso printing is so cool
