Thanks to an incredibly generous donation yesterday, the web hosting costs for my gaming sites are covered for last year 𝒂𝒏𝒅 this year! Thank you, Tall Man! 💖 #thankyouforyoursupport #ttrpgcommunity #kofi

It's always a delightful surprise when someone supports my gaming websites but since this summer has been rather difficult for us (and I know we aren't the only ones), the surprise seems even more touching today. Thank you, ColeNick! 💖 #thankyouforyoursupport #tabletopcommunity

I played Mythic Love a monster dating visual novel! Romance Spanish myths 🍓 . . #blog #visualnovel .

I did a run through 3 more demos of visual novels on sale yesterday - here are the results! #visualnovel #vn #steamsummersale #indiegame www.tumblr.com/kismetrose/8...

As of yesterday, my fantasy site overhaul is complete! #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #writingcommunity #dnd www.fantasy.kismetrose.com/FantasyIndex...

And I have been all day as I completely rewrite my page about drow sensuality after having left it the same for 20+ years. You have all been warned. ;) #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

Happy 35th anniversary to Vampire: The Masquerade!

I did a speed run through 6 visual novel demos in the last couple of days. Here are the results! #visualnovel #vn #indiegame #gamereview www.tumblr.com/kismetrose/8...

I am *this close* to being finished with my site-wide code update. I just have to finish rewriting the last couple of pages. Because my brain won't let them be. #ttrpg #fantasy #writingcommunity www.fantasy.kismetrose.com/FantasyIndex...

Now that the discourse has died down, and my birding has lessened, I want to talk about lists in rpgs. I like what both sides of the debate make. So, like everything else, "good" isn't about which side you choose but how you execute the idea. If you choose to use lists, use them well.

It's a cool, dreary morning in Los Angeles - a perfect morning to Slay the Princess some more! #visualnovel #slaytheprincess

A friend gifted Slay the Princess to me out of the blue yesterday, and I just got through my first complete playthrough. Wow, folks - just, WOW. I'm so glad I went in blind and just went with it! Hand-drawn art + sarcastic narrator + unique story = WIN! #visualnovel #slaytheprincess

There's a lot to be admired in the setting of fulgor: i hate, therefore i am. The codex has 31 entries on gods, cultures, places, and events, and the background art is always lovely and interesting to examine. Behold Janus, god of doorways! #otome #amare #visualnovel #indiegame

This is an incredible work of fan love, and I love it for that!

Did I mention before that fulgor: i hate, therefore i am is beautiful? The sprites are all evocative and distinctive, with a lovely range of expressions. I wanted to see and hear more from every character I encountered. Quam pulchra! #visualnovel #otome #indiegame #amare

In the fulgor demo, the MC overhears Latin but doesn't speak it, so the lines aren't translated. I had extra fun piecing it together and guessing things I didn't know, then looked it up later with my husband. I'll be happy to continue in the full VN! #visualnovel #vn #otome #indiegame

One thing I love about @rdevworks.bsky.social's longer VNs is the codex. I enjoy learning more about this world & theirs through the entries, & some always tug the heartstrings. This is a longer one from the fulgor demo. #visualnovel #indiegame #otome

I just got early access to the fulgor demo today and it makes me wish I had more free time today so I could finish it! Yet I know I won't want it to end. Gorgeous art + engaging story + history delivered via story and codex = my heart is happy! Thank you @rdevworks.bsky.social! #visualnovel #vn

Another day, another crowdfunded project I just can't justify chipping in on, at least for now. /sigh #ttrpg ko-fi.com/post/Alas-No...

Ending soon! #ttrpg www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

My new lady. Francine, the Sigma fashion designer who all the rich people in the city go to #artsky #ocsky #scifi #cyberpunk

This is more stuff for the imaginary zodiac rpg project I made up to make a more socially acceptable character concept portfolio. Ill post on my website soon with an annoying and unnecessarily long explanation for the rpg concept/lore.

I've finally finished revamping my article "Soap Opera Storytelling, Part 1: Secrets"! Let's look at what soaps teach us about developing schemes whenever we need to spice things up! #ttrpgcommunity | #writingcommunity | #gamemaster fantasy.kismetrose.com/SoapOperasan...

Check out my friend's TTRPG project, Young Gods. I've been playtesting it for a few months, and it's been really fun working on it with him. If you enjoy any of the Chronicles of Darkness games it's definitely worth a look. CW NSFW art in the book www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

I'm in my oil brush era (got new brushes) Wanted to create Narcelia's portrait when she was younger and still lived with her mother 🥺 I'M SO EXCITED TO CONTINUE MESSING WITH THESE BRUSHES!! [ #dnd #dndart #art #ocsky #ttrpg #ttrpgoc #drow ]

This week, as in years past, I'm grateful my web hosting service has remained reliable and reasonably priced. My sites are almost always up and I've been able to cover costs with or without assistance and remain ad-free. 🙂 #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity fantasy.kismetrose.com/index.html

I'm proud to announce that I've partnered with @heartofdaggers.bsky.social who has given my TTRPG AI Alternatives resource guide an EXTREME MAKEOVER! Introducing ttrpgresources.com! Find free art and GM tools and connect with real artists! #TTRPG #TTRPGcommunity #dnd #pathfinder #daggerheart

One topic in my latest article is how to handle a game after a group member passes, but I admit, I haven't dealt with it directly IRL. If you're okay with sharing how your group navigated this experience, I'd be grateful to hear about it. #ttrpgcommunity

In case you missed it, here's my latest!

I've been at it again, this time making a 95% new article about soaps, gaming, and death. And yes, I talk about this handsome gent, who played the iconic Victor Kiriakis for 37 years. ❤️ #ttrpgcommunity #writingcommunity #soapoperas fantasy.kismetrose.com/SoapOperasGa...

I added a new section to this revised article because it fit better there and I don't want the next page to get too long. (Yes, a new soap + gaming article will be coming soon!) #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #writingcommunity fantasy.kismetrose.com/SoapOperasan...

"What Writers Can Learn From the Roleplaying Concept of 'Flavor'" by Chris Winkle via Mythcreants #amwriting #writerslife #WritingCommunity #writingadvice #writingtips mythcreants.com?p=22009

Today I finished revising my article about what soaps can teach us about handling characters better during play, and I have to say, I'm pleased with the result! #ttrpgcommunity #gamemaster #roleplay #roleplaying #soapopera #fantasygames #fictionwriting www.fantasy.kismetrose.com/SoapOperasan...

This week, I revised this article about what soaps can teach us about building characters that we can apply to TTRPGs. 🙂 #dool #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity www.fantasy.kismetrose.com/SoapOperasan...

After a lot of pruning and tweaking, my NPC group generator is now up! My generators are collected, coded, and fussed over by me, a human. #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #writingcommunity #randomgenerator fantasy.kismetrose.com/MyNPCGroupGe...

Note to self: look into this!

Many canon drow characters have been created since the first drow name generator was released, so I've added plenty of their names to the classics in this generator! #drow #lolth #faerun #forgottenrealms #dnd #ttrpgcommunity fantasy.kismetrose.com/DrowNameGene...

I just quoted part of the old V:tM Traditions from out of the depths of ancient memory and got it right! It's been so long and somehow makes me happy. #vtm #ttrpg

The jam page is now up! The only jam that invites you to specifically make a TTRPG, but they fuck! itch.io/jam/but-they...

I've started revamping my romantic character generator and while it isn't 100% finished, it's in good shape to share for Valentine's Day! #ttrpg #fiction #romantic #npcs www.fantasy.kismetrose.com/RomanceChara...
