Yes this last note is so important! Sometimes a well GMd session is helpful for new players but pick-up-and-play oneshots, in my experience, open even very inexperienced players up to the possibility of *making* a game

Hey tabletop gamers, if you bought or were considering buying this bundle but got overwhelmed by the number of games to sort through, have I got the spreadsheet for you!! All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:

As someone currently receiving the most amazing, supportive mentorship from a fellow Australia-based TTRPG designer; I hope others get the chance to have an equally amazing mentee experience. My mentor has gone above and beyond to help me learn new skills, and I'm sure the ARC mentors will too!

TTRPG Mentoring is a great joy for me. 💚🎲 I love hearing new perspectives and concepts from the Mentees and guiding them through ideation to making a real, playable prototype. Seeing the confidence grow in these mentees is really rewarding!

I don't have many Australian mutuals, but sharing to signal boost

Hey hey I'm making another zine! A4 2B D6 will be similar to eraserflag (A5, 36ish pages) but specifically focused on RPGs this time. We're looking for pitches from other Malaysians writers, designers, and artists who love RPGs, so if that's you, please submit a pitch here: forms.gle/Zf4G8LQjayxW...

Veritable Tales of Folly in the Realm is crowdfunding now! You play various roleplaying medieval minigames & write about them in the annals. The minigames & manuscript allow for players to vary or irregular play. The game is illustrated (with marginalia!) by @yesthattallulah.bsky.social

The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!

Got my new e-reader, which is a fully "Plug it in to computer and drop files in" deal, water resistant, SD card slot, runs on an android variant but software company out of Europe and under their laws. Day one with it, but first impression is very good. pocketbook.de/en/verse-pro...

Oh look? The panel episode of @3blackhalflings.bsky.social I was on is out! Happy Black History Month! We had a blast. Shout out to my fellow guests @therosecleric.bsky.social , @vampirehimbo.bsky.social and @bruthaqueon.bsky.social www.3blackhalflings.com/talk-show-ep...

I got some wild ass news this morning. On a whim, I applied to further my acting training and I got accepted to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London for an advanced acting short-course. I’m still in shock about it, but I do need to raise funds for my time over there. I made a GFM—

We’re live! We accidentally match! Twitch.tv/RollForFelicity

Thanks so much for all of your support so far! binary-star-games.itch.io/null-space Required to put at least one link per thread in. Them's the rules.

This is what Jeri’s hacked account DM’d me. If I had said yes, they’d send a link and they’d steal your login info from the link. BE WARY Y’ALL IF YOUR FRIENDS ARE SUDDENLY ASKING YOU TO PLAYTEST SOMETHING WITH THIS LANGUAGE / SCRIPT

For now, creators for this collection are primarily invite-only, but if you are already in our DMs, we will reach out this week to follow up. If you have a game in print that you think we should add to this collection, feel free to reach out through PlusOneExp.com 6/7

Valentine's Day is right around the corner... Consider helping me playtest my new game — Violent Delights: A chess-based RPG about Romeo & Juliet. The first 10 people to play and complete a feedback form will receive a complimentary PDF of Violent Delights when the game is complete.

Gotta say I do love this trope, and the art style is so appealing to me! Also if I was a bunch of small folk in a big coat, which small folk do you think I'd be? My answer below 😉

The No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 1,439 games to discover for a $10+ donation to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! Purchase the bundle here: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

The cool thing about this map is how clearly it illustrates the Venn-diagram of how the TTRPG community sits neatly between the communities surrounding comics, indie rock, old school Runescape and Norweigan football.

If you would like 34 TTRPGs for a very reasonable price, that's what we provide here at the 34 TTRPGs For A Very Reasonable Price Emporium. Hearts Of Wulin, Alken, Begin Transmission and more! Almost 90% off! itch.io/b/3490/welco...

a response to the @rascal.news article on yazeba's bed & breakfast, clarifying some misunderstandings and (hopefully) providing a clearer explanation of what happened possumcreek.medium.com/a-response-t...

Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can. Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop. Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵 www.nga.gov/artworks/fre...

It’s Bandcamp Friday!! 100% of the proceeds for any purchases on Bandcamp go directly to the artists. Go support your favorite bands!

Everyone wants community. But I am afraid few are willing to sacrifice the energy it takes to make it happen. It's so much easier to scroll or watch TV. On top of that, everyone is so tired. It's gonna take a lot of gumption and elbow grease.

Ken “Whit” Whitman, notorious in tabletop gaming for various get rich schemes and scams, is back trying to promote a Best Tabletop Designers of All Time Facebook page where he ranks creators using generative AI slop entries and art. Please don’t feed the troll.

It's time for the bundle! Share, sign up, tell your FLGS, participate!

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

I'm broke as fuck, constantly. Born poor and will likely die poor. This is such a dogshit take it makes me want to laugh until I bust something internally. Don't use genAI. Don't accept the use of genAI. Don't accept the excuses of people using genAI. Don't be a dipshit.

I am travelling on a late and cruddy train so I can have a booth at What's Your Game tomorrow~ Maybe I can win round some new players for our strange-fantasy Larp!

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Delayed for reasons I have decided to obliquely blame on the storm that happened almost 2 weeks ago, the February 2026 TTRPG Crowdfunding Retrospective is here! ttrpg-spider.blogspot.com/2026/02/janu...

Two zines from @moreblueberries.bsky.social: - "Rise, Wizards" by Robin Ekberg is a dice-stacking, map-making, worldbuilding game of wizard hubris - "All's Fair" by @superdillin.bsky.social is an 18+ duet game about wanting to f**k each other so bad you save the world about it Both look great!

A few more #zinemonth projects that need love / that I really like - this is a thread, so check our replies too! "Whispering Willows" by Master Badger, a fantasy role-playing game about small animal folk who protect a living forest. Solo, co-op, or with a DM. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...
