Here's a new way to present short-form RPG adventures. New to me at least. youtu.be/vNU_iimS104

I like the Pirate Borg so I backed this job: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sna...

These + these all went to my patrons for use in their projects. If you're looking for art in a project, please consider a "membership." As of now, my patreon income is about $200 short each month of our daycare costs. Commissions are spotty to come by. verging into tough times here.

This is a very attractive physical product. I look forward to playing it at some point!

ICE SMASHER KNIGHT Build in replies, it's a cool one, you're def gonna want to try this one out

I'll just leave this here: www.cia.gov/static/5c875...

@thaumavore.blue just dropped an excellent breakdown of the BUREAU of CHRONOLOGICAL AFFAIRS! I gotta say his wishlist of features for the game makes a lot of sense to me - and get my brainbox working.

Alright, no new followers, and all existing followers stay put. And I'll do the same.

I impulse ordered this with alarming speed.

It's is REALLY impressive how @dngnclub.itch.io is able to create original retro style graphic art without feeling derivative like a lot of artists. Let's start a petition to get TKG to make him the sole artist for everything @mothership.bsky.social going forward! www.instagram.com/dngnclub

Talent.

I interviewed the mastermind behind the unprecedented Mothership wargame experiment #over/under, Sam Sorensen! thaumavore.substack.com/p/simulation...

I reviewed Chew the RPG and it was probably the most lavishly illustrated game I've ever come across. It also has some other features worth noting. Pete Petrusha and the team knocked it out of the park with this one. youtu.be/x2BgTX7o2vU?...

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

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! 🤔

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 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
