The IGDN’s Diversity Sponsorship has long supported emerging developers from marginalized backgrounds. After a pause in 2025 to revitalize the program under new leadership, we're excited to be re-launching in 2026! That effort begins right here, with your help! www.gofundme.com/f/support-di...

New awareness campaign

I have been a long time fan of Frenchy and the Punk, and have shared a few stages with them (not at the same time...) But did you know Scott also has a solo career? And it is great! Check out his latest Kickstarter album and pledge your support!

Never thought we'd see distopian fantasy become reality, and yet here we are. Where does this madness end? www.yahoo.com/news/huge-ba...

Only incompetent, unprofessional losers use AI. www.heise.de/en/news/Lazy...

That was some mighty fine Star Wars.

Did you know there's a scientific reason why it's so hard to write? LONG POST, because this is a BIG topic. In fact, it's too big to post here. So we included screenshots. Read on for some tips on writing with ADHD, from our own @rockpapercynic.bsky.social! www.facebook.com/share/p/1ANP...

Map stickers for Vale have arrived from @stickerapp.bsky.social! Super fast, high quality, no tariffs, and what's this? A freebie by @pixebo.bsky.social! I am very happy! Map art by the awesome @ageofnight.bsky.social #stickerapp #indierpg #ttrpgcommunity #supportindieartists #stickers #valeoFF

So proud of my eldest spawn! They are gonna be an Ohio State Buckeye! It came down to two goid schools and was a really hard decision for them to make. #ifeeloldnow #theohiostateuniversity #zoologymajor #gobucks

Local planners: 7 years and $1.2 million. #Beavers: just vibes and sticks. Nature's engineers get it done. No permits required

When I was a child, the computers were the ones who would scream when we got online

Do you publish #ttrpgs (or really really want to) and identify as a person under any diversity umbrella? This is for YOU!

Fucking good. www.dispatch.com/story/news/s...

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

$154 away from having @certifydmilkboy.bsky.social and one half of @wetinkgames.bsky.social add their own twists and encounters to Vale! Only 12 more hours to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gan... #supportindieauthors #ttrpg #kickstarter #pbta #indierpg

Hop on board the funded train and help us go for stretch goals - twists by other #indierpg authors! Less than 3 days left to get this great new game! kck.st/4hjPIFv #ttrpg #pbta #supportindieauthors #ttrpgcommunity #kickstarter #stretchgoals#playindiegames

I don't know why I only discovered this 68 years late but boy, it definitely got the creature design part of my brain cooking. Also just good fodder for the surreal side of the Sal Sidney material in Mutants in the Next. #ttrpg #disney

Today, I now have an adult child... I am too young for this! As we celebrate their bday, I won't be posting my #Kickstarter all day like usual. Just this once! We only have $909 to go! Don't wait! Pledge now! Be the hero your inner-child needs you to be! kck.st/4hjPIFv #indiettrpg #pbta #noai

I've seen a couple idiots complaining about "elitist game creators" who are "celebrating" the chance to make their games more expensive when they "should be making them less expensive" so people suffering under inflation and tariffs can afford them... And damn folks, way to totally misread it all.

Perhaps as expected, Steve Jackson Games is sending exactly what their customers need to hear today (from their CEO, Meredith Placko): mailchi.mp/5d92567e311b...

If you liked Narnia Neverending Story, Goonies, The Magicians, or IT - you will LOVE this game. Return to the realm you couldn't save as kids and finally become the heroes you were meant to be! kck.st/4hjPIFv #ttrpg #pbta #gooniesgeneration #zeroai #supportindieauthors #indierpg

It's a regime of idiots! And every day it just gets worse... www.yahoo.com/news/trump-i...

Having my #ttrpg #Kickstarter extended due to strange code issues is welcome, but it has totally thrown me off my marketing plan. If you want a great game that is easy to play, easy to run, and all about hope in a dark time - please check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gan... #indierpg #pbta

Yes, Cory Booker’s record breaking Senate speech was performance. It was performance in service of an ideal. And in service of resisting fascism. Performance draws eyes. It gets people excited. It makes people talk. It grows the movement. It inspires. And it’s absolutely necessary.

Gonna have an Q&A/AMA on the Randomworlds discord channel to talk about my latest game, Vale of the Failed and the Fallen, tonight at 8:30pm EDT (30min from now.) Stop by and check it out. All are welcome! www.tinyurl.com/randomworlds... #ttrpg #kickstarter #ttrpgcommunity #ama #indierpg

What if Joann Fabrics and Hooters merge, would that save them both from bankruptcy?

If you use generative AI to make art I am going to scorn you. You have fallen for a harmful scam. And if you still cling to the delusion that it is okay, you are deliberately choosing to perpetuate harm. My teenagers get this concept, so can you! #dobetter #zeroai #aisucks #supportindieartists

TTRPGs for Trans Rights: Ohio is live on @itch.io! For as low as $5, get over $1700 worth of games, zines, digital accessories, and more! All proceeds benefit @kycohio.bsky.social and @transohio.bsky.social, two organizations doing important work for LGBTQ+ folks in Ohio! itch.io/b/2946/ttrpg...

BEHOLD!

Final days for the Vale of the Failed and the Fallen #kickstarter! If you liked Narnia, Neverending Story, The Magicians, and Stephen King's IT - you will love this game! Please, check it out and pledge your support! We are so close to the finish line! kck.st/4hjPIFv #ttrpgcommunity #pbta #ttrpg

In case you haven't been paying attention, here's your Nazi-level book burning BS for the day. (Also to be removed: MLK biographies, Einstein's books on racism, and 900 others.) #fascistregime #racistGOP #resist sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

I just can't anymore. 3 days left, 77% funded, I have been fighting like hell to get the word out, and here #kickstarter has been screwing me this whole time. I have done 14 projects with them over the years and THIS is how it ends? #wtfkickstarter #indierpg #ttrpg #unhappycamper #ttrpgcommunity

The nominations are open April 1st not voting!

Making games in the face of a rising fascist regime seems silly and full of privilege. But it's all I've got right now. Games bring people together! Being together makes communities stronger. Embracing art and imagination keeps hope alive. Play with friends is crucial! #ttrpgcommunity #indiegames

Yep

Your visa doesn’t matter if they don’t let you prove it. Your green card doesn’t matter if they don’t let you prove it. Your birthplace doesn’t matter if they don’t let you prove it. Your citizenship doesn’t matter if they don’t let you prove it.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

...then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me - Pastor Martin Niemöller

Same, little pepper, same

At the end of the day, no matter what they say, it isn't about making art It is about stealing, not only someone's labor but also their money & even their passion At the end of the day the goal of ai gen anything is to remove the need to have to pay anyone for anything & that's horridly distopian

#ttrpgcommunity I need help. 5 days left in my 14th Kickstarter and I just can't seem to get the word out. Still 73 book backers away from the goal. I know times are hard, but if you have the spoons and the space, please share! Thank you! kck.st/4hjPIFv #supportindieauthors #kickstarter #ttrpg

Only one more week on the @kickstarter for Vale of the Failed and the Fallen! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gan... Then it's on to the next big idea to see which one takes the lead. (G2, BotB, or Time Trashers...) #wipwednesday #ttrpgcommunity #supportindiegames #kickstarter #ttrpg
