Once again, hoisted by my own petard. Ordered too many zines to display in my shop, it's a problem. I regret nothing

One of the best people I know made a game for ZINE QUEST, Stevie Edwards. Our Flag Means Kiss is his first game he’s putting out to the general public. Please support this amazing person! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s... #ttrpg #indiegames #zinequest #indie

Putting this out here, if people want to read YA fantasy with sapphics and swords (and daggers).

Print this out. Put it on the wall.

Said this before, saying it again: There are people trying. There are people marching. There are people putting their bodies in the way. There are people being disappeared. The people of the US aren’t being silent. They are being silenced.

This year my personal goal is to take better care of my health: physical and mental. Feeling dang good for 50 so far!

We are live with @moltensulfur.bsky.social and his game Ballad Hunters! Http://www.twitch.tv/rookandrasp #ttrpg #ttrpgs #indiegames

Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall. Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

New year but still job hunting! If anyone has leads on narrative design, writing (video games or tabletop/board games), DEI consulting, or editing; HMU via LinkedIn or I can DM you my email. Unfortunately, due to past harassment, I don't have a publicly available email address.

So, it was officially announced! Gutterpunk the TTRPG is getting a French Translation! This TTRPG combines my love of music biz lingo, the punk scene, and gaming! Based in part on nearly 20 years in the scene as a musician. Much love to Skaldirion Editions! #ttrpg #punk #Indie

Bonne année à tous.tes ! Première annonce de l'année : la traduction du jeu Gutterpunk ! Ce jeu est un véritable coup de cœur qui réunit 2 univers qui nous sont cher : le Jeu de Rôle et la musique Punk ! Il est publié en VO par @rookandrasp.bsky.social. #jdr #ttrpg #skaldirion #gutterpunk

Hello everyone! We got one last one shot wrapping up our Halloween lineup. Stay tuned for next week’s episode of Good Strong Hands Public release: Monday October 27th Episode is now available on Patreon!!

So I made this starter pack long ago! Please let me know if you do a talk show or interviews which is related to TTRPGs and board games, let me know! go.bsky.app/EpqBMoi

I can't believe Rob Weiland is gone. You might not have known him BUT: read a Forbes rpg article, enjoy Star Trek Adventures, love the Fate games scene, or watch/attend charity games at cons? That's just a small piece of his impact. He was also wonderful human being who will be missed horribly.

Playtested my new game this week. It was an awesome success. It needs some refinement and definitely some GM instructions to help new GMs facilitate play, but altogether when players want to play more you know you've hit gold! #indie #ttrpg #indiegames

Did you know my follow up to the Indie Groundbreaker Nominated game Gutterpunk is available for “Pay-What-You-Want”? rookandrasp.itch.io/baroque-n-pa... #indie #indiegames #ttrpg

So, a personal mission I want to write for Baroque and Palaces deals with Inquisition agents coming for David Hume when he was finishing his book in Paris (1734). In historical game design Is this a step too far? Hmmmm.

I've ended the GoFundMe for Starbuck's hospital visit today. Again, thank you to everyone who donated. It meant so much to know we have a community that surrounds us with love and lifts us up in moments like this.

I am in the middle of hammering out a time to record an AP of Cosmic Corsairs. So, stay tuned for that over the next few weeks. The fine folks at @rookandrasp.bsky.social will be helping out with that. Regardless of my AP, you should check out their awesome AP videos for all sorts of cool RPGs.

Hey friends, I’ll be starting up a Go Fund Me for our pup, Starbuck. She’s been in the hospital now for almost 24 hours and we need help. This is our baby, adopted after we found her as a puppy and had been mauled. Now she’s 8 and struggling. #help #gofundme #charity spot.fund/28nxptwsc

TTRPG designer friends: there is still time to submit your projects to the Palestinian Children's Relief Bundle itch.io/jam/palestin... Join a bundle full of amazing games and raise money for #PCRF #TTRPGforPCRF

Probably the silliest free promotional I’ve ever done, but everyone finds some nostalgic joy in temporary tattoos! I hope everyone finds some joy today! #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Things you'd learn if you read Baroque n' Palaces: Venice was home to the buying of musical compositions and printing music, and composers would travel to sign deals; their compositions then performed on stages across Europe. This was the proto-concept of a record label! Lean history thru gaming!

I've often wondered if I should make a journaling game literally called, "My Time as a Fishmonger". I'd be at work by 2 am icing tables, cutting fish, checking stocks, and making orders, and the things I saw...

1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library (And quote this, #ttrpgsky. Because I definitely want to know what's in your TTRPG library too!)

Yup.

It's making the circles on other social media, but you ought to know this is a food truck at Gen Con (they came to light for using AI in their ads and writing). Follow your conscious on this kinda thing.
