Spent the past month whipping the capitalism machine, so let's give back a little. We have 53 Pay What You Want titles on @drivethrurpg.com: Every genre, original settings, and inspired mashups. And if you can only afford zero dollars, please: pay zero dollars www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Seven-Part Pact, my fantastical and ornate TTRPG about the seven most powerful wizards in a fantasy world, is coming this summer to kickstarter!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

Crowdfunding is not a solved meta. Being honest about your needs and goals is the BEST way to prevent overextending yourself, and even then it can still happen. Don't say you're fine with just a light dinner and then be disappointed when there aren't enough snacks to fill up on at the afterparty.

maybe the funniest thing about the Neopets TTRPG debacle is that i can think of at least twelve designers off the top of my head who could have a playable draft of an incredible Neopets TTRPG done by next month

GM problems: that urge, when you lay out a mission and your players say that it’s going to be a piece of cake to complete, to increase the levels of all the enemies or make the traps just a little more dangerous…

At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69 Time to put your money where your mouth is. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

That’s it. I’m allowing myself one ‘meanwhile’ per project. #writing #author

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

I can’t describe how excited I am for this 😆😆

We played The Time We Have, a tragic storytelling game by Elliot Davis and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. You can watch the entire playthrough on our YouTube channel. #ttrpg #indiegame #thetimewehave #larp

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

With all the negative happening on the topic of Transgender people. I would like to share some positivity for my Transgender brothers, sisters and those in-between. If you're a Transgender Artist and would like be added leave a comment. 💙 go.bsky.app/FPK2ErH

I'm going to be used the #KadenPlayed if you want to mute it or follow it I'll also be using #SoloTTRPG as well

In a post full of bangers about tabletop design and playing characters this line is my fave: “When you choose which piece of who you are gets to win and which pieces have to watch it happen and bitterly remember.” 😆😆

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Alyssa Liu shattering the expectation that you need to suffer for your art should usher in an entirely new generation of creatives that use joy as their foundational form of expression.

My heart is full of gratitude and there are still 20 days left of the bundle

There's at least seven copies of The Balsam Lake Unmurders at Board Game Barrister 😲

Hasbro's deal with Warner Bros. to license Harry Potter raises the hackles of Magic: The Gathering players, content creators, and the game's own designers.

Hey Solo TTRPG makers!! I'm looking to play a couple games on stream to tip my toes into solo games 👀 Call it a promo thread - what's a solo game that either you or a friend have made, and what about it do you think should be shown to the world? (Or at least my chat 😅)

Stream is starting sooner! Get in the chat and hang with the Harlem's Talented Tenth.

FYI for those crowd funding — it's always been the case that launching a project results in unsolicited requests for promotion. Today I started getting them from people pretending to be official Kickstarter staff. Be wary out there. Kickstarter support, customer service, etc will not email you ads!

Minnesota parents are figuring out on the fly how to tell their children about and protect them against armed federal immigration enforcement agents occupying the city and ripping people haphazardly off the street. @setharichardson.bsky.social reports:
