Train platform 18_C....Collab with my partner @ekellystudio.bsky.social

Want to learn how to play Huckleberry? Dave Thaumavore's "How to Play" dropped today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK72...

Our Brilliant Ruin returns to Kickstarter tomorrow. The campaign will feature an all-new Starter Set that is perfect for first-time players looking for an introduction to the world of Our Brilliant Ruin while offering returning players a new venture.

I'm printing a scifi starship for a tabletop game, or maybe just for myself. Does it matter? open.substack.com/pub/thaumavo...

Thankful to have sat down with @thaumavore.blue to talk all things Ravaged by Storms! This isn’t your usual hack-and-slash one-shot—it’s a richly illustrated, full-OSR campaign built for multi-session play. Check out the interview below. #OSR #NSR #PirateBorg #MörkBorg #TTRPG @limithron.bsky.social

Really pleased to see fav reviewer Dave @thaumavore.blue do a vid on @threesailsstudios.bsky.social Mappa Mundi! Mappa Mundi is very similar to Skies of Belief in regards to avoiding combat in an RPG, so it's great to see it well received! youtu.be/JCS2gQ09OWo?... #ttrpg #rpg #roleplayinggame

Check out @thaumavore.blue 's excellent RPG first look at Moonshine. He does a great job of introducing the game in a way that quickly helps you know what it is all about! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suvr...

Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast by Possum Creek is the Origins Award winner for RPG Core Product! Congratulations to Jay, Ruby, Khyra, and everyone who came together to create this tabletop roleplaying game where there is truly a room for everyone! #originsaward #possumcreek #stevejacksongames

Not yet abandoned BREAK!! Adventure 3: The Wishflower

Break!! solves the lore barrier problem in RPGs. Here's how. youtu.be/g5y6x0T4GLo?...

Spoiler alert: you don't need the cards for Daggerheart. At all. open.substack.com/pub/thaumavo...

Publishers should make or commission tutorial videos for their RPGs. Exhibit A: youtu.be/mQVOY_R1Fmc?...

I keep making starship control panels that are meant to kill players. Not sure what's wrong with me. youtu.be/EuNY73DQNK0

Grab your copy while it's still free!

I was wrong about Daggerheart. youtu.be/-JKAX8eRbRc

Potential art-book/project thread! Please read below!! 👇👇 Can i first ask that you please retweet and comment your thoughts on this? I need as many eyes on this as possible to gauge if its a viable side project worth pursuing! RETROGRADE - A catalogue from from a future that never was!

Hey I drew some stuff here too !! It's been a couple of very Mothership weeks. The module is by @thaumavore.blue and Akuma has a map too. thaumavore.itch.io/smash-and-grab

Daggerheart. You can have it. youtu.be/L2-TK_7nsVQ

I wonder why more people aren't using a custom URL for their Bluesky handle. I thought that was the coolest feature of this platform! 🤔

How to kick WotC in the Deck. A story about challenging their bogus trademark pursuits and how to do it yourself! thaumavore.substack.com/p/i-drafted-...

Did you know that Vampire Hunter D is more than just a couple of anime films? It's 56 light novels, all written by the original creator Hideyuki Kikuchi. I go over the monsters that D faces in the first novel here: youtu.be/UHWef-euJxc?.... I'm hoping to cover more monsters in later books too!

I made a hypothetical Vampire Hunter D roleplaying game. Or at least the framework of one. open.substack.com/pub/thaumavo...

WHOA. The Mothership Deluxe Set and Warden’s Operations Manual both got nominated for Origins Awards this year. This is frankly incredible. Origins is one of my all time favorite cons and these awards have an insanely long history.

This is private equity about to sink the largest publisher (and second largest distributor) in the tabletop gaming industry.

I gave one of @themonstersknow.com 's books the ole leather and foil treatment for fun. Going for that Sacred Text look.

I did a rundown of Grimwild by @odditypress.com, and interviewed the creator in which I assailed him with as many piercing questions as I could muster. The written interview is linked in the replies. youtu.be/lCGeGe8oOBw

For almost half a year I've been working on the design concept and book layout for the Evolved Edition of the ALIEN RPG. Super excited to finally show some spreads, as it's a design I'm very happy with. And not only am I doing layout work, but I've got some spot art in there as well.

I made a video review of Break!! by @naldodrinan.bsky.social and Carlo Tartaglia (!!) youtu.be/HYPtk321WE0

I reviewed this Batman RPG by Monolith Boardgames that just dropped on Gamefound. They apparently hired some very competent designers to do this one. I was pleasantly surprised. youtu.be/QeDZaVdFPoQ

I'm so tired of Dungeons and Dragons 5.x by Wizards of the Coast. Here are 52 reasons why you should dump it. youtu.be/hFzvfSKZGCs?...

I did a video review of The Electric State by Free League. It's got some surprises and some unique demands on players. It also may be the last time I show my real face on my channel. youtu.be/aj1zrDbVr5s

Looking to see what RPG professionals and companies there are to follow here on Bluesky? I am curating a list! Check it out! go.bsky.app/JXt8g6H

Made a cover for my Dragonbane Bestiary. I wish all the books in my library were leather bound with foiling. This is my Poor Man’s attempt to make that a reality.

I know it's wrong, but there's a part of me that wishes the world would end and I had to spend the rest of my days in a bunker where I finally had time to play all the RPGs that I really want to play.

I've just never experienced an RPG rulebook like Break. It's absolutely jam packed with artwork from the greatest anime series that never was and it instills me with a heavy nostalgia for something no one will ever be able to watch.

Former WotC and now Funko CEO Cynthia Williams leaves a snail trail of incompetence wherever she goes! 🐌

Are we going to talk about the prevalence of bot follower accounts here that boost… no? We’re not talking about that? Okay, I’ll shut up.

There’s nothing wrong with GM fiat, per se, but the passive Perception score ends up being this weird fake mechanic with a bunch of extra bookkeeping trying to mask what’s really happening. thealexandrian.net/wordpress/50...

Thanks for the constant close-up pictures of your faces, everyone. Keep ‘em coming.

WotC is advertising the ping function in their 2D VTT. That's the value proposition.

This is what I've been working on all evening. Jumping off of some fantastic work by @homebrewandhacking.bsky.social, a directory of 99 TTRPG starter packs, doubling PJ's original list. Industry pros, geographic packs, identity packs, system-specific packs, etc. #bluesky #starterpacks #ttrpg #dnd

Are we really calling them “skeets”? Seems like Elon humor, which should be automatically disqualifying.

In my latest review, I seek to spread the word of @jdragsky.bsky.social and M.Veselak's Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast. And I debut a talking meerkat avatar. youtu.be/8fZHgroYf-k?... Also, thanks to @mapcrow.bsky.social for making me jealous enough to buy this game for myself at Origins this year.

It's peak BUY MORE STUFF! season. It's also a very stressful time when you're struggling financially. We have over 50 titles that are Pay What You Want. If money's tight, set a price that works for you. If that means zero dollars, please: set it to zero dollars. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...
