#RPGaDay Day 29: Community Why We Fight by @sdrgames.bsky.social is a solo+ game about "resisting hierarchy and control through unity and values". Connect with your community and stand against the oppressive forces of the Guiding Hand and the White Fist.

👀✨✊

I've picked up a fair number of followers in the last 48 hours. Not sure why, but heyyyyy guys! I can only assume it is somehow RPG related, so you may be interested in some of my RPG work: benjaminwenham.itch.io/the-city-of-... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

The race is on for people to find Oliver Carn! The first three people to complete the #ARG will get a super special prize! The ARG is designed to be very friendly for people new to ARGs taking you throughout spreadsheets and email addresses to find our mysterious ghost hunter

July update for Why We Fight! It's definitely still July, you can't convince me otherwise... #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #solarpunk

Time for a new banner image 🌼

Check it outtt!!!

New A5 prototype of Direct Action just dropped 👀

Sorry for being so quiet these past few weeks! We've been uh... Busy. A certain someone decided wetwipes were a snack worthy of the 3hr complicated surgery to remove them, and month-long recovery... 😩

Highly recommend working with Oliver if you're looking for someone to translate your games!

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."

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

The people who make these claims need to recognise that engagement with a concept increases engagement with linked concepts. Someone who played a game about protest will be more interested in protest of adjacent forms. Gatekeep engagement and you kill engagement. Make entry points, not barriers.

THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT CONVERSATION!!! In case you missed it, the VOD is up www.twitch.tv/videos/24606... and it will posted to YouTube shortly! HUGE THANKS to @lilithttrpg.bsky.social Minerva @drtalksalot.bsky.social and SUPER SECRET GUEST Laurie from @sdrgames.bsky.social

T H I S. "To make a better world we need to be able to imagine a world that is better" And activism ttrpgs create a safe space for that imagining, to empower and enable players exploration into that brighter future. (Besides, play is its own form of activism...)

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

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Some fun in honour of @atikingames.bsky.social launching Malus Hortus today... Name a flower, and we'll tell you how we imagine it would transform to become evil at night 🌙😈🌸 #boardgames #indieboardgame #botany #MalusHortus

Nows the time to branch out into a new realm of puns! 🌱

Malus Hortus launches tomorrow and I have all these wonderful events lined up for the campaign. These are just the ones I've been able to fully commit to in the calendar one very important part of being organised is knowing what you can and can't fit in and saying no to things that are just too much

Nikita is a wonderful person and her games are so filled to the brim with love and care. Worth dropping a follow so you can see the KS for yourself on launch!

Hi there, tabletop RPG designers! I'm opening up the first Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grant. I'm looking to award up to 5 designers $250 to help create their games and/or set up their businesses. Applications open today and run through the end of the month. Enter here! bannerless.games/grant

WE DID IT 🎉

📢 Final 4 hours to back WHY WE FIGHT ✊️🌱 Can we hit that 15k mark and unlock an immersive soundtrack before the time runs out? 👀 bit.ly/whywefightrpg #TTRPGcommunity #indiettrpg #solarpunk #antifascist #hopepunk

We're at $17k raised for our charity partners! I'd love to see us pass $20k today - maybe even hit our $25,000 goal?

Howdy TTRPG community! I'm working on a personal project (maybe more someday) & am gathering insights from AP players, GM, hosts, producers, etc. If that's you, I'd love to chat about what you do. This is a screener to organize interviews I'll be conducting for this project. Link in next post (1/2)

MY LATEST: Dungeons & Dissent: Using TTRPGs as Tools for Activism ttrpg-insider.beehiiv.com/p/dungeons-d... Right now, we're in a bit of a chaotic moment, considering the current administration questionable and legal actions. A lot of people feel the need to do something. But what? (Thread Inc)

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...

Come to our small town, where the Static reigns. Wavelength vanished in the early 90s, but it remains in eerie perfection. But now a signal is warping reality and rewriting people to its whims. Who will you become? crowdfundr.com/32VFe7 #TTRPG #IndieGame #Crowdfunding

Award nominations are cool. But you know what's even cooler? Leaving 5 star ratings for games on itch.
