Hey! You should draw some constellations this weekend.

You know what the local news needs more of? TTRPG coverage. (I'm so excited I could talk about A Perfect Rock with my local news!) globalnews.ca/video/118586...

Signed, a guy who just played "HOME - MECH X KAIJU" by @deepdark.games with @shing.bsky.social for Party of One and now DESPERATELY wants to do a bunch of Firebrands minigame scenes with these pilot characters because I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

A Perfect Rock is an exploratory story game, and today we’re making a character for it together! You can get a copy of a Perfect Rock through our website, the link is in our bio. #ttrpg #ttrpgtok #indiegame #storygame #worldbuilding

I'm J Strautman, I'm a tabletop game designer, composer, and podcast producer based in Toronto, ON. I've been full time with my art for a few years now, and after putting out a bunch of different kinds of stuff I wanted to have one home for it all! It's rebrand time, baby ✨

Well I'm up for a starry night of gaming, what a lovely idea...

This is such a beautiful game that explores our relationship to stories and culture. It does A LOT in a very small space

This is a very good, very accessible solo game. Highly recommended.

Thanks to everyone who came to our second Game Designer Meetup! Attendees pitched their latest project and chatted all things games. Join us the second Wednesday of every month at our new location in Walker's Point, Milwaukee.

I was able to take a look at an early version of this and it's really charming, like everything from @deepdark.games.

What stories do you see in your stars? Constellations is out now! Download this free, one-page world-building TTRPG about drawing constellations and telling stories. deep-dark-games.itch.io/constellations

New HOME - Mech x Kaiju playbook just dropped: No kaiju can withstand that brick smashing power.

A Perfect Rock is such a fun worldbuilding game. Here's my solo playthrough: youtu.be/RhWXCYRjvVg Safe to say I'll play whatever @deepdark.games decides to put out next haha. 🥰

Instead of AI slop archive, why not friendly local rpg shop publisher directory with fun questions and answers actually written by the people it represents peregrinecoast.press/pages/publis...

The latest Memoria playtest kit is now on itch! starlightgrove.itch.io/memoria Memoria is a ritual of remembering, where you tease out the history of your character by exploring strange myths from a distant realm. I'll talk a bit more about what this means below ⬇

The finale for my "A Perfect Rock" actual play is here! What a journey it was and i'm super proud of what I created. @deepdark.games really made a special game and if you haven't had the chance to check out "A Perfect Rock" I highly recommend it! #ttrpg youtu.be/IBdDK3FsT8U

Voting is open for the inaugural Canada Roles awards for Canadian #ttrpgs. I have two games up for it—"The Psychic Danger Society", my little old ladies tea and murder game, and "Kaiju Kontrol", my preposterous giant monster game. Please be Canadian and vote! canadaroles.ca/doku.php?id=...

I recorded this series a couple weeks ago and I still think about the story daily. The finale will be out this week and I can promise that it is something special. Also if you haven't check out "A Perfect Rock" yet by @deepdark.games, ya gotta do it! Such a special game! #ttrpg

I'm constantly impressed by @talesfromttrpg.bsky.social's world-building. I love how his mouse explorer is changing! youtu.be/0RBAyhcKv14?...

I wrote an essay about production value in rpgs, which is also a six-month retrospective on SPINE. Often, high production value is good, but when is low-production value better? Bonus: I share lots of pretty photos by players of SPINE, who decorated and bound their own books.

I had a launch party for A Perfect Rock last night, and we made so many planets!

New #ttrpg review! A look at A Perfect Rock by @deepdark.games A beautiful, lonely planet-crafting game about appreciating what you have. And an absolute masterclass of user-friendly design. Oh and it uses actual rocks. Vid: youtu.be/r_QtL_Aafl0

Y’all, I went to the launch party for @deepdark.games’ A Perfect Rock this evening. Played a simplified version with my girls and we loved it! Please check out this gorgeous game made by real (and lovely!) human beings. www.deepdark.games/rock

Everyone deserves an editor like Sam.

Last year I played a solo game called Home and it wrecked me in the best way. So I turned that experience into Hiberia Lost, a stylized immersive audio actual play. If you listen, I really hope you enjoy. Headphones recommended ❤️ YouTube: youtu.be/wMaD59ZZIe0 Podcast: dub.sh/mgr-hiberia-...

That's a good list of games!

Episode two of my "A Perfect Rock" solo actual play just went live! Join our courageous explorer as he surveys his first planet in hope of finding a new home! Also go check out "A Perfect Rock" by @deepdark.games, it's so good! #ttrpg #rpg #actualplay youtu.be/eQriKCF5Aa8

New video just dropped! Today I go over what "A Perfect Rock" by @deepdark.games is, what it's gameplay looks like and how you can check it out today! This game absolutely rocks, in all meanings of the word! So go check it out! #ttrpg #rpg youtu.be/tf3j2z9iOYE

I absolutely loved this video from @talesfromttrpg.bsky.social about A Perfect Rock by @deepdark.games! Why dice when rock? youtu.be/tf3j2z9iOYE?...

Listened to this while drinking my morning tea, what a way to start a day. Highly highly recommend checking this out. The production design is out of this world and the story is so beautifully haunting! Less than 20 minutes, but the story will stick with you for much longer.

Just drawin' sapphires.

Hire Sam to be your Editor! It's worth it.

DID NOT expect a story of Mech v Kaiju to make me so teary eyed this morning 🥹 so good!
