some #OVER/UNDER folks might remember me talking about a game jam entry I was working on that tied into the Dream as a setting; here it finally is!!!

had a long chat with some TTRPG design buddies today and finally articulated something for the first time: i get almost nothing out of currency as a reward/method of growing in power but LOVE currency when it's acting as a source of pressure and punishment

This week on Dice Exploder, just in time for Mausritter month, @itsquinns.bsky.social joins me to talk about the Mausritter's inventory system: the only inventory system I've ever liked.

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

The Paizo website is currently down for maintenance, including all product pages and our forums. We’ll see you on the other side of The Gap 2.0!

I'm just saying that Moonnbeam, a start-up streaming service headed by an Active Duty U.S. Army Strategist who is cozy with the IDF, should be left to wither and die on the vine no matter how many shiny toys/sponsorships it dangles for #ttrpg peeps.

eagerly awaiting inside/outside, a big discord server RP/wargame set in junk city. time will tell whether mouse yuri can tear the city apart #over/under

Thursday has some cool micro TTRPGs for just a few bucks apiece, two of which are inspired by Shadowrun's Bug City and Renraku Shutdown (two of my fave SR campaign settings!), and one is solo-playable, so check it out!

hi folks!! i haven't gotten quite as much traction on this as i'd like, and i'm definitely feeling the burn of moving/wedding expenses. anything helps 🙏 i've also got a direct donation link in a reply to this <3

I've been there recently, when I was informed that OCD didn't make me neurodivergent. Blurgh. People with OCD have unique brain wiring and patterns that require constant managing. It's a lifelong condition. Gatekeeping sucks

I find it kind of beautiful that we're seeing the next iteration of Apocalypse World's DIY art. Two of the biggest names in indie roleplaying games show, once again, that it's not about spectacle or expense. It's about using the skills you have and the skills you can develop to make it how you can.

The tl;dr is simple: a certain asshole in the Kremlin can't learn when to quit, and that translates into power outages for everyone involved. As such, we're holding a sale to help Val cover the costs of a UPS - so that he can, if anything, stay online in the meantime: itch.io/s/166115/bri...

Troupe style is one of those approaches to RPGs that people resist but I tend to find love when they actually try it. Basically: You have a character that's yours. You may have a secondary character. You then have a pool of other characters you can grab as needed. (thread)

Why is the "take a bunch of level 0 nobodies, run them through a deadly adventure, see who survives, and make those into your level 1 characters" style of OSR module called a FUNNEL, when it clearly sounds like it should be a SIEVE?

i just think that if I was a small rodent that lived in a hollow tree stump, things might be better

It's almost 🐭mausritter month🐭! A lot of inspring supplements are about to hit @backerkit.com. My first exploration of sword-and-wisker play resulted in a putrid dungeon. Age-old potatoes have amalgamated into an ungulating, cavernous mass. Supposedly there's treasure there. Why not check it out? 💍

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Had a thought last night that it's a bit of a bummer that for fantasy stories that are neither: a) seafaring b) high fantasy enough for airships c) steampunk you're kinda out of options for a Sexy shared land vehicle for a player character group. Unless it's a caravan, or everyone's on horses.

New character art for Tigers on the Wire? From our very own Omercan Cirit, perhaps the primary brain behind the looks of the #Wildsea? Well, I'm glad you asked! #TRPG #Art #Showcase

As I've become kinda jaded about Pathfinder 2e and been looking at other tactical combat-oriented TTRPGs to see if there's one that could click with me more, I've realized there is one thing that they all have which PF2 doesn't, even if I don't love them all either - resource management & attrition.

Game Previews used to BIG EVENTS. So we're trying to make them that again. A 35 minute deep dive into MEWGENICS featuring interviews, new gameplay and loads more dropping on noclip_2 tomorrow morning. Super proud of it.

I have a really hard time imagining a TTRPG campaign or system that *isn't* improved by the PCs having some kind of (in Told by Wild Words lingo) shared asset. This might be a vehicle like a ship (sea- or space-faring), a home base or town, or a faction they belong to or command.

THE #PICO #TTRPG DIGITAL RELEASE IS DONE! And its up on my #itchio store page now. I'm happy, I'm relieved, and I'm looking forward to hearing about even more bug-based shenanigans in the near future. ... I still can't believe Silksong JUST beat me to it. felixisaacs.itch.io/pico-core-bo...

O hey, the Kickstarter for the Monsterhearts video game just went live. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how that turns out?

The way to make the tactical crunchy tabletop RPGs fun To Me is to make them a little more roguelite-esque by having you roll (say, thrice) for your level-up feats/skills/etc and choosing one of those options. Make this stuff like a limited format in a card game, as opposed to constructed.

My bird girly, how I miss youuu [ #oc #ocsky #art ]

Is this anything?

They should make a fighting game where the roster consists exclusively of historic highwaymen, outlaws, and legendary folk heroes. Robin Hood, Juraj Jánošík, Lampião, Maria Bonita, Oleksa Dovbush, some of the 108 Heroes from Water Margin (Song Jiang?)...

Inkarnate is allowing AI assets in their new marketplace. This program was my first gateway into the #ttrpg scene, and i met a lot of cool people there. I witnessed some shady stuff from them before but this is the last straw. Canceling my subscription and taking down my maps from the explore page

They should make a boomer shooter with an old-school Therion soundtrack.
