Happy Pride, all! One of our most colourful little beasts, Nimbuscribble, shows off just a smattering of the pride flags it’s learned. It’s always up for learning more if you have anything new! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎨🖌️🐭🌈 #pride #ttrpg #gaymers #indiedev #indiettrpg #fakemon

New Floppy Cat Stack! We talk a little about tabling at Kublacon for the first time, sharing table space, and getting your con legs. #kublacon2026 #ttrpg #gamedev open.substack.com/pub/floppyca...

We had a great time at @kublacon.bsky.social boothing alongside @randyogames.bsky.social and @themisplay.com in the Bay Area Designer Coalition booth! Thanks to everyone who stopped by, chatted, and even tried or bought (!!!!!) our little game. Hopefully see you guys at the next one!

We’re at @kublacon.bsky.social this Friday and Saturday! We’ll be boothing as part of the Bay Area Designers Coalition, find us at the Exhibitor’s Room and say hi. We’ll be running our tasting menu of heartbeast battles for groups, as well as Battle 101 for solo players. 🎲🎲🐾🐾

We were watching a new video by @cozyrpgreviews.bsky.social the other night and this was the most well-behaved we’ve got Scampi to be in weeks. I guess she’s a fan???

We started a Substack! We wanted to talk a bit more at length about TTRPG design, playtesting, and other neat stuff we like. First, let’s talk about the Phanpy in the room re: HeartBeasts… open.substack.com/pub/floppyca...

So excited for the second BATScon! Last year was a blast and there’s even more good stuff coming up this year. If you have a few bucks to spare, consider following and backing when the campaign goes live!

POV: you left your lunch at home but your heartbeast has got you ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐦🐦 #ttrpg #creaturedesign

Went to our local game store’s last playtest event. It’s closing tomorrow and we’re gonna miss it so much! Reminder to get out to your FLGS, support them, play games at them, buy games at them! They’re awesome spaces that deserve every chance to thrive. #indiettrpg #flgs #ttrpg #playtesting

Us, after our first release and market: We should take it easy and have a break for a week to recharge. Us afterwards: Let’s sign up for new events and make our next starter adventure lets goooooo

@gamemarketwest.bsky.social today was a total blast, thanks so much to Johnny, Velgus and all the volunteers who helped out! We talked to so many awesome people and talented designers. It’s such a special event, and we are so excited that its where HeartBeasts got to make its little debut

You can choose from four adorable beasts in Road to Regionals. Fire-type Pugma 🐶 Volt-type Statikitten 🐱 Wood-type Bouquail 🐦 or the Water-type Swabunny? 🐰 Which are you picking? #indiettrpg #fakemon #cutecritters #tabletopgames #ttrpg

It’s Reptusk! 🦣 This hardy Earth-type beast fiercely protects nests of the tinier Reptooth. It can be difficult for Trainers to manage, but can be unexpectedly sweet and loyal to humans it trusts. #indiettrpg #ttrpg #fakemon #creaturedesign #tabletopgames

Choose your Trainer! Road to Regionals comes with four pre-gen Trainers, ready to play and make your own. 🔴 🔵 🟢 🟡 Which are you choosing? 👀 #indiettrpg #ttrpg #cutegames #cozygames #fakemon

It’s Ursinerate! 🐻 🔥 This unusual Fire-type beast makes its home high on tree-tops. It sometimes causes brief fires, but these are actually vital to the local ecology—it burns away extra debris in ‘controlled burns’, preventing more dangerous wildfires. #indiettrpg #fakemon #bear #ttrpg #indiegame

We love our shiny math rocks, and want to use them! So HeartBeasts uses the whole classic set from d4 to d20! 💎 🎲 The d20 in particular is reserved for special, heart-stopping moments where everything is on the line. #indiettrpg #dicegoblin #d20 #steppeddice #dice #ttrpg

It’s Sniparella! 🦀 This timid Water-type beast keeps the beaches meticulously clean, although is often bullied by the local Stealgull in the process. It needs a gentle Trainer who can protect and encourage it. #indiettrpg #ttrpg #crab #fakemon #cutegames

It’s Cerberemus! 🐺 This powerful Dark-type beast evolves from the unassuming-seeming Twilamb—a sweet little lamb with a nasty little bite. Proud and loyal but stubborn to a fault, Cerberemus often butt heads with wild Ramulus. 🐐 🐺 #indiettrpg #fakemon

It’s Blowyrm! 🌬️ 🪱 These strange little Wind-type heartbeasts live high up in the sky, floating on the wind in large groups. While green is the most common color, Blowyrm can actually be many different colors! #indiettrpg #creaturedesign #fakemon #wormonastring

It’s Octaphim! 👁️ ✨ This weird Light-type heartbeasts appears in old-world ruins. Much about this beast remains a mystery, and many find it a little unnerving. However, Trainer who Bond with it are said to be blessed with extraordinarily good luck… 🎲
