I had 🚫D&D next to 🚫AI on my profile and some guy took me to task. Apparently not enjoying that game any more and being open and up front about it is a faux-pas of BSKY. And it seems that he's famous on the internet? 🤷‍♂️ I've now self-censored.

What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

Hello #ttrpg friends! As the year is wrapping up I'm excited to share that the Quickstart Guide for my Undead Paradise is now available to the public! Have fun! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ava...

Please get behind it!

Join the jam I'm hosting! Create a game or tool to help introduce TTRPGS to peeps. It's a great way to hit the ground at a reasonable pace come new year! And maybe we can bring some new folks into the hobby? itch.io/jam/welcome-...

I've bought this, it looks great. Please get behind it.

Bought!

Draw Steel implies the existence of Discard Steel and Tap Steel.

#ttrpg folks, I am going to be planning out my 2026 workprojects in the next two weeks. Small and shorter projects preferred. If you or someone you know are in need of prof art & design work, please reach out. Website/portfolio/CV available at joieyong.com and joieyong.itch.io

Guest posts at the Lone Toad start next weekend! And first up is the venerable Aussie institution that is @tinstargames.bsky.social! Be sure to subscribe to next weekend's post, which is really interesting and thought-provoking. croakerrpgs.substack.com?utm_campaign...

It's often difficult to get the amazing and beautiful games here to Australia (the literal ends of the earth if you ask shipping carriers) especially if you miss a kickstarter or initial release. I'm so glad I got my hands on this even though I'm a little late to the party.

Agree on Dread. Also: Brindlewood Bay Ech0 Fate

Definitely do this. Link in comments.

Tomorrow we are launching something HUGE. like REALLY BIG. Commit this to your memory: I *will* check the @chequered.ink BlueSky page tomorrow, Monday 1st December, my happiness DEPENDS ON IT. #Gamedev

I just backed Apocalypse World: Burned Over on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... And thank you @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social for your continued support of the community and the ecosystem we all appreciate you.

This was a demo game at Go Play Brisbane this year, a really enjoyable game by creative people. Highly recommend.

:o This is how the internet should look!

As we’re heading into the season of ghouls and ghosts, why not check out my upcoming horror ttrpg?

OK, sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there and get on with it 🙂. Wellington Zinefest is today, and I have a stall. Gonna go ahead and put this out there.

Excited to receive this solo #ttrpg from @ravensridgeco.bsky.social who have been busy posting out backer rewards!

Just backed this. So cool. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

We had a great chat with Brandon about designing solo roleplaying games! You should check it out.

I've got my first "proper" solo game - Caught in the Rain by @ravensridgeco.bsky.social arriving soon. Looking forward to it. I'm keen to have a few more goes at solo games over the near future, so keenly following to learn more :)

Thank you for the recent purchases, plays and ratings of The Station, everyone! Glad people like my train worldbuilding game with the bad SEO title. pidj.itch.io/the-station

I can't recommend this highly enough.

Huge thank you to Untitled Gaming for this awesome Lone Pine short! Check out their channel for other #paxaus coverage. 👀 #indiegame #madewithgodot www.youtube.com/shorts/774Qh...

I've now got print samples from 3 printers to compare and review! We're on the final stretch now, finding minor errors and fixing. You'll Meet the Devil #ttrpg #storygame is nearly done! Amazing cover and interior art from @juanochoa.bsky.social PDF on smoggy-au.itch.io will be up soon.

Final print proof arrived today for my #ttrpg #storygame "You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads" about fateful choices and life altering moments. Super excited. The incredible @juanochoa.bsky.social is the artist and has made the perfect set of illustrations for it. Thank you Juan.

Ok #ttrpg question for business nerds. Why won't / wouldn't WotC invest into other TTRPGs / systems? In that they keep their flagship product of course, but grow in more directions with other properties in other systems? What's stopping them?

This is too easy

Go Play Brisbane is all wrapped up for another year! Thanks @perilplanet.bsky.social @tinstargames.bsky.social for making the trek up north from NSW. We loved having you. We've had a great time with an estimated 200 people playing #ttrpg and board games with us over the course of the weekend.

Here is a quick video of the creators' row out by the beautiful Brisbane River. The main #TTRPG area is inside, with 14 tables running sessions all weekend! You might catch sight of @tinstargames.bsky.social there as I rush past!

Supporting local creators at Go Play 2025!! Along the beautiful Brisbane River we've got them set up adjacent to the main #TTRPG area, showcasing their newest and best works!

Woop!! Well done!!

Women in Rome. Mid to late 20th century pulp sci-fi Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser + illustration.

Making some of my art into stock art for people to use in their gaming projects. A selection of my esoteric hell knights and angels right now, but there will be a wider selection soon. Find them here: legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4... #ostensiblecatdesign #oldschoolgaming

Last private playtest of Oppian Wives #ttrpg ahead of public games at Go Play. Drawing on Drama System and Belonging Outside Belonging (and its roots in PbtA) where the women of Rome explore, exploit, and ally with each other to achieve their ends. Their agents (men) do the dirty work for them.

Thank you @ndpdesign.com for the #ttrpg #design delivery today! Excellent work as always, such great insight into the craft. I love that you do the physical copies as well as the pdf (even all the way here to Australia), I like tangible things in my hands.

Two great local people. One reviewing the work of the other, and they don't even know each other. That's real #ttrpg community building!

Tonight I got to play Grok #ttrpg thanks to GM @beerforall.bsky.social Grok is a super rules light, incredibly fun, and has amazing art!! We escaped war between two dimensional armies, teleported through magic doors, fought a monster in a sewer, then rode to victory on the back of a dinosaur!!

A well-earned honour for @ravensridgeco.bsky.social via PAX.

This is very important in the current #ttrpg and broader gaming and culture censorship environment. Thank you @true-liana.bsky.social for starting this.

I've made an indie game store self-hosting template github.com/liana-p/indi... ✨ With this you can use completely free services to run your own game store without any cost, and without being tied to bigger platforms or censorship. Live example of the result at walk-through-the-forest.ovh

Sometimes in #TTRPG design we gloss over all the ugly bits. This is my big ugly mess. I celebrate it. All designs start out bad. Keep going. Oppian Wives has gone through its first post-playtest do-over and is now undergoing the second round of kicking and shoving before the next playtest.

My last four #TTRPG played: The Warren You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads Fate MoonAge Yes, sorry not sorry that two of those are my games... one is in playtesting and the other is nearing print, so that's a lot of my time right now.

I just backed Galactic & Going Rogue: Two TTRPGs of War Among the Stars by Jumpgate Games. @jumpgategames.itch.io www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

This #ttrpg looks really cool. I'm a big fan of Sword & Sorcery genre. It looks like a bit of TSL mixed with Apocalypse Keys. Neither was (IMO) the strongest game mechanically, but this addresses some of the limitations of both in fun ways. Check out the quick start PDF! Love the art, too.

Incredible stuff! Please check out this work from @johnathanlbingham.bsky.social
