Red-X (2022-Hiatus) "R*d? That's just a myths of the ancient time." On the brink of humanity’s extinction, a group of criminals try to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the color red from the universe; leads to a cosmic secret far beyond their understanding 1/2

Brandon Sanderson and Tracy Hickman + Margaret Weis are the Ronald Reagans of fantasy gaming (everything is worse after them)

some spoilers for those interested in the game design philosophy part

Yesterday the local Indonesian Tabletop RPG community that my friends and I have been growing since Q4 2025 held its first convention! Call of Cthulhu, Nobilis, DURF, Mothership, Daggerheart, D&D 5e. 40+ participants. Hopefully this will inspire the local scene to keep on growing!

this is the first time ever that a game of Nobilis is played in Indonesia! Rudya the Pawn of Speed, Rangga the Marquis of Trade, Jonas the Regal of Traffic, Surya the Duke of Discounts, Vicky the Baron of Turns, and yours truly as Hollyhock God

I touched Renee’s favorite ring to her grave, then somehow a strand of maltese fur is stuck. Seems like Sugar is with her right now 🥰 (Featuring a chocolate bar still unopened since last year from her best friend.)

Leaving him for the weekend (will be running Nobilis in Jakarta tomorrow)

If you haven't checked it out yet, there's a bundle going on until the end of the month for games made by Playtest Zero community members, including two of mine!

Destiny has such amazing thematic coherence... your god is a ball; you spend most of your time collecting orbs or standing in circles. Your fighting art mostly uses guns, which, as you know, fire *rounds*

cooking an urban fantasy set in jakarta 2025 and i just realized that Renee passed away during full moon i know what i had to do to immortalize her in this setting

the world has ended. what recourse have we? its corpse reanimated by the necromancer named neoliberalism and the God named capital? raise your swords against heaven, wanderers. ultraviolence is the secret nature of God. 10,000 SWORDS AGAINST HEAVEN: an ultraviolent tropical gothic xianxia ttrpg.

This is the first confirmation I've gotten that someone has played Lex Ecclesiastica and I'm over the moon <3 I'm glad people are vibing with the game and especially the writing, which I poured a lot into. I'd love to read your after-action reports! get it here hipolita.itch.io/lex-ecclesia...

lmao turns out theatre of cruelty is a thinly-veiled orientalism

In tabletop rpg design, sometimes gameplay doesn't come from the mechanics we add, but the ones we omit. www.explorersdesign.com/dominant-mec...

What tabletop roleplaying games are there that use multiple GMs?

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Jay treated me n everyone else involved like hangers-on while using our ethnicity + marginalizations to boost her clout, and when it was time to get the money she lied to us, sicced lawyers on us, and refused all communication while flying off to the art commune her dad owns in Columbia

inb4 white trans fems pull out Hot Allostatic Load/"this is a transmisogynistic attack" -- I'm Mercedes, one of the people quoted in this article. I'm a trans fem of color and many of the people Jay fucked over w yazebas are trans poc. If defense of ur "sisters" ends at other yt trans fems ur racist

I just ran @chrisair.itch.io's Mothership module, When In Rome. It ended on a TPK 💀 and it's the first time it ever happened in my game. Thankfully everyone loved it 😅

Turns out these weapons aren’t fantasy. At least in Cirebon, Java. The guide said that these double-bladed “spears” are wielded by the Duke of Cirebon’s personal guards, of which there are 8 of them. Notice where the wood & leather handles were supposed to be.

Struggles are a really neat peice of design and-at least after rough-drafting one-SUPER fun to write. You wanna make a boss fight without worrying about an "action economy?" Want a scripted challenge without literally telling your players what action to take? Give Struggles a chance!

My new "adventure" Dungeon of Sparks is out now! It's fully illustrated but needs you, the reader to become the author. I'm calling it a "disjointed collaboration". When you finish writing it, you can use the art in it to publish an adventure. Enjoy! better-legends.itch.io/dungeon-of-s...

A lot of people conceptualize random encounters as the party encountering the monsters, but they make more sense the other way: the monsters encounter the party. Below is a thread on what most people get wrong about encounter activities and what there is to be done about it. (1/14)

Can’t find the sources rn but I’ve read that when the Portuguese colonizer came to Java, they were surprised that the Javanese people already wield personal firearms like them Anticolonial stories usually depict the (white) colonizers as the one introducing guns…

i had an idea brewing about Disco Elysium meets Metal Gear meets The City and The City, except instead of isolas (realities separated by unreality), it's many layers of realities superimposed at once and then i read this blog...

That’s right, Blades ‘68 is coming very soon. And while we’re here — this is the cover!

tried geomancy and got all 8 impartial figures, with Populus as judge my next fantasy protag will be based on Populus, and this chart is the summary of the entire story

New adventure for the BUREAU of CHRONOLOGICAL AFFAIRS — THE INFINITY TRAIN JOB. -Perfect as one shot or starter adventure. -Includes a mechanics for collaboratively building endless train cars for exploration. -4 New Baddies — such as the rent-a-fascist CYBERCOP, or the time traveling QUANTUM OGRE

An island was colonized and oppressed around 700 years ago by successive alien empires. It's almost a century since they've driven off, since the island became sovereign again. It's also almost a century since the island, in turn, colonized her neighbors to build a nation.

wanted to re-share an article i wrote in 2022 about the phallic and colonial underpinnings of what we might call the dungeon game---in fact, it's the third edition of a paper i wrote and rewrote many times, but only this instance i feels 'complete' traversefantasy.blogspot.com/2022/09/d-ob...

Decolonising the Dungeon Crawl--- Like everything else re: decolonisation and TTRPGs discourse, this is a solved problem. There's only metric that matters: How many creators from the colonised world are participating in and able to make a living from their games? That's *it*. 1/

Varang did nothing wrong

i truly abhor "human era calendar" it's just christian calendar +10k, how is that any different than using christian calendar why not use, for example, chinese calendar +10k? or any other calendars whose year count surpassed the christian one

HSR has each character defined mechanically by Paths (class-alignment folded into one) and elements. WuWa, each character is a combo of weapon and elemental attribute. I’m saying there are ways to erase the concept of selecting race/ancestry/species in your RPG.

It’s the penultimate Critique Navidad, and we have a winning micro-module: The Knight Errant! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/30/c...

working on a new video game and i'm having fun because i can geek out my henshin hero ideas
