Saw a Youtuber say "I have a Patreon, if you're interested" and we've decided to take another approach. If you need something to tide you over between Trial by Fieri, how about an Ocarina of Time Randomizer run that isn't quite as good but still pretty good? patreon.com/roleplayretcon

Starting in March, we've hosting our very own #podcast called Tabletop Touchstones. We'll be interviewing indie #ttrpg creators we respect to uncover the media influencing their current work and exploring the childhood passions that led them to RPGs. #TabletopPodcast #RPGPodcast #indieRPG #Tabletop

The next episode of What Am I Rolling is now out! 🎲 🎙️ 🎧 Episode #162: The Zone with @roleplayretcon.bsky.social Pt. 2 Catch up on previous episodes of What Am I Rolling? wherever you listen to podcasts! 🎧 pod.link/1351842802 #RPG #ttrpg #wair #TheZone #RoleplayRetCon #scifi #horror

This is us! We Zoned!

Aw fuck yeah, we're back

I may be a Basic B for making a D&D thing, but even I don't use ANY AI to make it. I wrote every word and all the art and illustration is by real humans, either commissioned (like @sketchisnotreal.bsky.social) royalty-free, public domain, or licensed. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

Day 7 of promoting indie TTRPG Zine Month projects as penance for making a D&D thing: Punderworld by @twicerolledtales.bsky.social! Goof off at the table to build power, then unleash it as wordplay to manifest reality-shifting powers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/twi...

A quick note: if u find yourself face-to-face with a Mattress Firm ad starring my lovable memepooch, know that it was a legit licensing agreement and it's all on the up and up. Thank you!

For this commission I even did what AI peddlers deem impossible, I learned a new skill. I'll admit, I did some simple 3d modelling classes in school, the same way we all do a few art classes in school, but that was 10 years ago and I remember nothing, however I still rolled up my sleeves and did it.

Day 6 of spotlighting indie TTRPGs as penance for making a D&D thing for #zinequest The Deepest Dark! GM-less horror about being trapped underground! Beautiful and eerie inkpen illustrations! Play in the dark and track morale and supplies with D6s! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Time to start canceling nitro and shouting from the rooftops how we won't stand for this. @discord.com is collecting our information and censoring our communications and claiming its for our safety. Don't let them get away with this.

Day 5 of promoting indie TTRPGs as penance for making a D&D thing for Zine Month: Axolotl with a gun! Fight the jerks destroying your environment with GUNS! Each gun has a different dice mechanic! There's rules for solo, duets, GM-less, and even 10 players! www.kickstarter.com/projects/res...

Day 4 of promoting an indie Zine Month TTRPG as penance for making a D&D thing: Rise, Wizards! Build a wizard's tower with dice! When it falls, how the dice land affects the world you're building! A little bit TTRPG, a little bit board game! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Day 3 of promoting an indie Zine Month TTRPG as penance for making a D&D thing: All's Fair by Superdillin! An explicitly sexual game about wanting to fuck each other so bad, you'd fight a war over it! It's inspired by Mickey 17 and uses the card game War as its resolution mechanic!

Day 2 of penance indie TTRPG promotion for making a D&D supplement: Bring Down the Stars! A 2P Vs. game based on Godkiller (Godkilled? Killed by the Gods?) about the stars turning our world into a death sport, and trying to bring it down from within! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

If you like learning and then getting to demo some TTRPGs get your ass to Open Space this Friday, Lino and I are gonna kill it. Pls pls pls bring your friends who are RPG-curious, they are my fav kind of people

I've had a wild week and didn't get to post about this. But! I have a new game. A rules lite duet game as my love letter to Cast Away from @gamemastermonday.bsky.social You Died in a Tundra is released! A game about secrets and how they consume you and others! fromdusttodice.itch.io/you-died-in-...

Day 1 of indie game promotion penance for making a D&D thing for Zine Month: Aqua Tofana by Wannabe Games! A solo game about poisoning your husband (and also about women's rights). Use a tarot card deck for prompts and actually learn about tarot as you play! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wan...

It's the time of year again where I am looking to tour different shows ans streams to talk about my new book! If you have a show or you like one that I should contact, drop a link in the replies!

Our project for Zine Month!!!!

A bunch of projects launching for Kickstarter’s #ZineQuest this month are using Gen-AI. Even if the concept sounds appealing, please support designers with integrity first. If this sounds unreasonable, we shouldn’t be mutuals. Art by @/willowsquest.co.uk Logo by @/hinokodo.com

Nathan Lane meets the Babadook

I have a zine month project: Aqua Tofana, a baroque solo journaling game about poisoning your husband. Learn how to better interpret your tarot as you play and experience a little catharsis breaking free from a life that oppresses you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wan...

The Fog (1980) has some fans, but it was tepidly received in its day, even for a John Carpenter joint. But, we're really fixing The Fog (2005), an unmitigated disaster of a remake with a 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. We played the brilliant Ten Candles by @stephendewey.bsky.social!

Alex messaged me (Ben) to excitedly tell me there's a new Trial by Fieri, even though I'm sure he hasn't watched my OOT randomizer run on our Patreon, but honestly, I get it.

And on W.A.I.R., we're playing The Zone, heavily inspired by the movie and film Annihilation. It was weird doing a good movie! (Do not tell Fiona we said this, but this is basically a bonus Roleplay Retcon episode that we tricked her into making, and she made it GOOD)

Crossover! You can hear @fkth.bsky.social (and Laurel from @flashfantasy.bsky.social) on our remake of The Fog (2005) AND you can hear all three of us in the latest episode What Am I Rolling? with Fiona! (@wairpodcast.bsky.social) Here's the only funny part of an otherwise pretty scary The Fog!

General strike tomorrow

Yay, Dillin!

TRAILER | Dillin's 100 episode special. On February 5th, 2024, @superdillin.bsky.social took over the One Shot Podcast as the new host. On February 5th, 2026, we will release their 100th episode as the host of One Shot. Watch the trailer here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmJ...

Dice Exploder is back this week with a new episode of Afterimage all about ERPL, The Experimental Role-Playing Laboratory, a mini-con that took place at my college several times a year. I still think about the people I met there. They still mean something to me. What might I still mean to them?

I loved dipping in and immediately encountering eyes turning purple, irises to flowers—💜 where this story is going! I gotta say, it’s such a rare gift to listen in on the beautiful horrors told at tables I otherwise wouldn’t get to visit! 🥰 Thank you for playing The Zone!

cast away is gonna start introducing more and more people into the indie ttrpg AP scene. I'm manifesting it

More people need to follow All's Fair. I had the honor of reading it and I hope it makes you make out and throw bricks about it. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Come hear Alex, a person who claims to hate horror, be really good at horror

Considering Who We Are, I think it's not just being negative to say the Masters of the Universe trailer looks... bad. Not abysmal, but I got that Sense, like my bones are aching before it rains. Some people are *really pumped.* We're also pumped! But for different reasons.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

It's weird being a podcast without a theme song (before I accidentally summon anyone, we aren't looking for one, it's just how the show works)

Not exactly academic, but I did do this in the part of FLOPS where players choose their movie's genre/flavor

CAST AWAY: THE TUNDRA CONTINUES TONIGHT!! One player has a knife, one player has a skull, one team has four players, and at least TWO people are getting eliminated this week! Join us LIVE at 7pm PT as we raise funds for Feeding America and local food banks!

I could not be more jazzed about this! I think CCK lends itself to exactly the sort of play Gamewoven specializes in. I also think it makes really cool campaigns. So this is going to rule.

This is the fuckin correct answer

Jealous and proud and seething and misty-eyed

FIGHT THE POWER! Posting my gurren lagann fanart here
