I had a wonderful time this evening presenting solo journaling games to some delightful folks! I printed out some one-page games for trying right away and shared some of my favorites from my game library.

I'll be there, and here's my schedule! Of note, I'll be in a talk about TTRPGs x EDU, running games in the Access Forward Gaming Lounge (you are very welcome to stop by for a game), and hosting a TTRPG self pub meet up! bsky.app/profile/ttrp...

🐭 Mausritter Month 🐭 Today, featuring Frau Knurrkater @frauknurrkater.bsky.social Stinkcity. This is an amazing POP UP DUNGEON for Mausritter. Easy to assemble at home and brilliant at the table. You can (should!) use the mice meeples offered at the Mausritter Month group event for this.

Video games designers, tabletop designers, and all Itchio indie creators, please consider submitting your games to the JAMAICA DISASTER RELIEF charity bundle. itch.io/jam/disaster...

I'm set up for the con this weekend. I really need more signage, and also to iron my tablecloths. Also apologies to @ipr.bsky.social we're stealing the little cards in the books thing.

How influential is Apocalypse World? This influential. (And I wrote this chart four years ago.) www.designers-and-dragons.com/2021/11/02/t...

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

Restocked! Caveat Emptor is a solo journaling game where you play an Assistant Demon sellin g secretly cursed items. www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Caveat...

It doesn't matter if a project is two pages or *checks notes* 1400, Karen has handled it all. She does terrific work for us. She will do the same great job for you.

Only 3 hours left and a little over $4k before it gets to @gailsimone.bsky.social 's stretch goal.

Here We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

"Previously, on Deathmatch Island... "

Gates of Krystalia are doing numbers on Kickstarter again, so I'm tapping the sign to remind folks that the publisher, "Top Notch International" does strikingly irresponsible (with a side of appropriation), unreadable AI-generated books, marketed under multiple (fake) authors and titles. #ttrpg

Chatting to a friend about this yesterday, and realised I should re-plug it. Probably the most wholesome thing I've ever created, despite (er) everything.

THIS Monday!! T minus 2!!! Whaaaa!

Final 72 hours!! We've unlocked new scenarios, a whole new chapter, new player options, a ton of new monsters, and more! We've still got two more stretch goals to hit. Saddle up and join us for the ride, pardner!

Today begins International Games Month. I’m working with @plusoneexp.bsky.social to donate 70 game books (in print) to participating libraries and launch an ongoing 50% discount program for libraries. games.ala.org/internationa...

Scrolls from the Treasure Overhaul.

Cold City (2e): first impressions after a quick read. Rules-light chassis with a GM dice economy for pacing: d10 opposed pools, 1950 Berlin pressure cooker, Trust & Hidden Agendas fuel classy spy-betrayal, and fallout is tracked as Consequences. Here’s what jumped out at me: (1/14)

I want to highlight that this is I think one of the most genuinely interesting TTRPGs I've read in years, in ways that are hard to articulate in a bsky post. @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social has made something very special here, and if you love TTRPG design you owe it to yourself to read this game.

I was planning to publish this tomorrow, but... I'm impatient. Episode 1 of my Midnight Muscadines solo #ttrpg #actualplay is out! Titch the Tatterling Witch visits the library... except the library is ancient, buried, spooky, and home to some strange and magical creatures. youtu.be/ZX3YcbM59GI

PS: Zine and Minigames Creator Roundtable is at noon on Friday, Nov 7 this year. It was created in 2019 by @jenkatwrites.bsky.social and Chris O'Neill, and it's super casual. Come join us!

A week from now I'm going to be at Metatopia. It'll be my 25th Double Exposure con, and my 8th or 9th Metatopia (I lose count). Here's some tips:

HAHA JK THEY GOT ME. Join us for a a 60-person CBR+PNK megagame set in a sprawling arcology packed with asymmetrical teams, secret objectives, and emergent story! You and your table drive the action through dealmaking, daring moves, and discovery… Get your tickets at: www.myth.works/products/sci...

We built Last Kiss with safety and consent in mind from the ground up, to allow people to explore difficulty topics that are near the edges of their comfort zone, instead of completely removing those topics as options. The game has a tone tool, adjustment tools, decomp and the palette grid (cont)

T minus 3! We've got just a few add-ons planned for the campaign, but they're pretty cool. I'm working hard today to pull together the preview for one of them. I can't wait to show you! (If you're on our Patreon, you'll see it early, just saying...)
