One post's worth of my favorite worldbuilding games: Exquisite Biome by @seaexcursion.itch.io A City of Shining Stars by @ehronlime.bsky.social CANON/EYES by @jeffstormer.gobirds.online A Land Without Magic by @vidityavoleti.bsky.social Grasping Nettles by @adambell.games

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!! your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there. if we do $613 in sales before Jan 1 i'll do a trifold print run!

I love this guy

I love this guy

Hey look what I found in some old sketchbooks! Initial drafts for A Land Once Magic's tables! These are p old, and you can really see how much these prompts have changed in big and small ways, or haven't changed at all! fun to note: these are pages and pages apart as I returned to it occasionally

The D&D Killer

If you liked literally any of the ALOM graphic and layout design you should grab an emergency commission from Luna and help her out!

Okay let's do this again. Emergency graphic design commissions. Simple stuff only (i.e. title treatments), starting at 30 US dollars without revisions. Buy me almond milk and keep my heart unexploded 👍

I wish boardgames got the same backlash for using AI art in final products that Larian Studios and Expedition 33 did for just using it in pre production Awaken Realms (whose CEO also owns Gamefound) openly admits to it and still raised >$15 MILLION on crowdfunding this year

How many times have I been told to give this racist game and its racist creators grace, and second chances? and empathy, and good faith, and and and? Nah. This isn’t just a fundamental misunderstanding of Ghibli. It is colonialist fucking desecration. @obojima.bsky.social Go fuck yourselves.

(An excellent idea, tbqh.)

Oh hey!

Wanted a clean thread to continually share as needed but hey are you annoyed by orientalist and blatantly obtuse games and their white designers? Throw money at an Asian designer and their games! You can find them so easily with the link below! Did you buy Obojima? Feel bad? Buy another game!

Hey folks! Did you know that it's really easy to find games made by poc on itch.io? Just use the "poc made" tag! There you'll find your next fav TTRPG & support some great designers, new and old! If you're a designer, tag your games poc-made so they show up on the feed! itch.io/physical-gam...

It is 2018. You're scrolling the TTRPG timeline and orientalist stuff is in the mainstream. You and every Asian TTRPG person is tired. It is 2025. You're scrolling the TTRPG timeline and orientalist stuff is in the mainstream. You and every Asian TTRPG person continue to be fucking tired.

Arium: The Worldbuilding RPG is coming to Kickstarter! Reserve a spot for $1 so you don't miss your chance for a bonus story flash bookmark for this special boxed edition of our Ennie-nominated #ttrpg including the all new Arium: Evolve! store.adepticarus.com/products/ari...

The new episode of Kings of Mahatt by @dorkspawn.bsky.social is so fucking amazing everyone needs to listen right now. Everyone is so locked into their characters. The cast are all killing it. Robin is pulling off some wonderful things as the gm. So very excited for where this story goes.

Crying for real

Dragon Reactor looks so sick! I'm def going to check it out when I've got the time.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

In case you missed it, Dragon Reactor's digital edition is AVAILABLE NOW! Grab your copy, gather your friends, and tell your story of myth, mechs, and mayhem! https://forktwenty.itch.io/dragonreactor

i bet you've heard me talk a lot about ALOM now but Elliot gets some more fun tidbits and design thoughts out of me! Esp on colonialism in fantasy Also I got to experience a thing so many of peers have gotten to, seeing my game be played as a physical object lol The joy of my BOOK working!!!

@vidityavoleti.bsky.social this is SO gorgeous <3

Hey @vidityavoleti.bsky.social how dare you make this game look so sexy?

I did the thing with the text boxes

the art? incredible work by @androidpeach.bsky.social the writing? so semantically rich, amazing stuff by @diceynova.bsky.social and @200proofgames.bsky.social the stories you tell? doomed, tragic, making you full shout 'NO!' as your friends succeed at horrible costs get in the fucking robot

I had the absolute pleasure of dev & line editing this game, which is an absolute must-play for anyone who likes mech stories. I've been raving about it to all my friends and can't wait to run it for my table.
