Very excited to be involved in this! Can't wait to hear what everyone has to say on these topics, and very humbled I get to speak alongside them!

To Kill a War Machine - the docu from Palestine Action and the Rainbow Collective is now streaming: tokillawarmachine.com Eye opening, rage inducing, Powerful. Just watch it. #Palestineaction

Being a better player in GMless story games. GMless games change up how authority and creative power are distributed at the gaming table. There is a huge variety of them but playing them requires a subtly different set of skills and behaviours to e.g. #DnD Let's explore that... #rpgs #ttrpg 1/8

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

I know I shared this from @womenofttrpg.bsky.social when it came out but, you should watch this panel , it's great! youtu.be/wzJtLIxrHKU?...

Well this was amazing to wake up to! Check out the thread to read what the judges have to say about Why We Fight

Comments From Our Judges: "This is the kind of debut game I wish I had made: unflinching but hopeful, clear in voice, and not trying to please everyone. The ‘Personality and Hardship’ discoveries are exactly the kind of low-prep, high-payoff mechanics I love."

A huge thank you to the Tabletop Arts Fund for awarding this grant, which we applied for to better allow us to make Why We Fight accessible and afford consultants for screenreader accessible content. It's also wonderful to be featured beside all these other inspired works!

There were so many excellent insights that came to light from this, it was incredible food for thought. I'm pretty passionate about this subject so I very much enjoyed being a part of this!

I found this superb tree earlier in the week. 10/10.

SUPRISE! Laurie has joined this panel! @laurieblake.bsky.social

We backed on day one, and now only one more backer is needed to see this wonderful indie game succeed! If you're into coop games, this one is well worth checking out.

There's been lots of talk about the climate of fear. Less discussed is the climate of rage. But that's why there were calls for "an army of Luigis" at Coachella. And why you can buy an Iraq's Most Wanted-style deck of cards with Peter Thiel and Elon Musk's home addresses printed on them online.

You would not be-leaf how good this game is! Stalk-ing through magical gardens, fleeing monsterra(us) flowers, pollen out your friends at the end... at first it grows on you, and then you realise it truly is de-vine!

Can't wait to listen! Part one was amazing 😍

Anything's a molotov if you have the right ingredients ✨️ Whether you're looking for a one-shot or campaign play we've got you covered with WHY WE FIGHT ✊️ bit.ly/whywefightrpg

"Yes, we need to be out there fighting. We need to be out there making change. It's really important. But like culture and art and the way that we express ourselves, and the way that we communicate and pass on these stories are also really, really important." - @laurieblake.bsky.social

Then there's WHY WE FIGHT, a game made by @sdrgames.bsky.social and by @laurieblake.bsky.social which focuses on an Ecopunk version of the future where communities of people work together to resist a Hunger Games-esque government eager to crack down on them. ttrpg-insider.beehiiv.com/p/why-we-fig...

Ellie Chowns, "Instead of balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and the disabled, Rachel Reeves She could make the choice to increase taxes on the very wealthy in society" "A 2% tax on assets over £10m would raise £24 billion" "Why isn't the Chancellor making those choices?"

Scenarios like these are so important to solarpunk worlds - it's not just about punching nazis back into history, we need to make sure nobody goes without, and a better world is built by the people we save!

Tonight is our last event at the Shrub Zero Waste Co-Op before it closes. We have leads on new venues, but they all have a higher cost. This #SelfPromoSaturday, chip in a few quid to help us through the coming year.

Theres still an hour left to back Resistance is Required! We need more uncivil disobedience in this world at the minute... Let's see if we can push them to that 5k mark #TTRPGcommunity 🤘✊️ #indiettrpg #punk

This is part of an ongoing series of articles about how to make emergent mystery seem real, even though you're making it up as you go. Check it out!

SO EXCITED!! I'm finally launching my Building Better Futures series, where I will be sharing tons of Utopian, Solarpunk, Anarchofuturist, and other such ideas. If you've been looking for more positive, actionable, and creative visions for the future, here you go! open.substack.com/pub/elijahcl...

This was so good. It's only 10 minutes but the narrative and production was incredible!

🗞️ A new issue of The Soloist is out this morning with 10 solo RPGs that are new (to me) and that are crowdfunding now. There is something for everyone in this one. soloist.substack.com/p/10-new-sol... #TTRPG #solorpg

Every time we unlock another Guest Adventure I'm sitting here like "I cannot wait to play this, this sounds rad as hell" So so happy we hit 7k today and get to make this awesome adventure a reality!

I'm so excited for this, I didn't expect that this project would end with me having a bunch of amazing stories for ME to play but the first one is already here!!

We hit @floaker.bsky.social's streatch goal and unlocked their one-shot adventure! "The Battle of the Broken Pane: Deep within Guiding Hand territory, The House of Glass is under attack! Your occupation must face down batons, dogs, gas, drones, and worse..."

"The capitalist class will provide mutual aid to the AI industry in the form of billions in investment... attempting to normalise AI by using it." "The right wing aesthetic project is to flood the zone with bullshit in order to erode the intellectual foundations for resisting political cruelty."

I had such a good time chatting with Joe! This is definitely worth the read, we really get into it!

Today I have woken up do discover that we have FUNDED! THANK YOU thank you so much to all our Backers so far, we're so proud of what we've made and I'm so thrilled to be able to share it with you all!

My local games club has been dedicated to promoting small press and indie games for the past 10yrs. Unfortunately, we are losing our venue. Back our next club zine to help see us through!

For every 25 likes and reposts the post I've quoted gets, we're donating £5 to Tree Sisters as part of our social goals. Tree Sisters are an ethical, community focused activism group that funds planting projects, nature-led solutions, and empowers women and indigenous communities! 💚

Thanks for the space as always! Why We Fight launches on Backerkit today! ✊💚 A hopeful game about collective resistance in a changing land, where each player plays not one, but four characters each! Uncover their pasts, passions and fears as you play, and help them build their future.
