Hello Stranger, Re-introduction time! I'm Epidiah Ravachol. Perhaps you've heard of my #ttrpg work, like Dread, the horror game that uses Jenga; or Swords Without Master, the one with the tones.† I've been at this indie truly-true role-playing game publishing gig for roughly a quarter century.

Conpulsion 2025 features Great Guests conpulsion.org/games-schedu...

Boosting the signal for this game about people that care for kids by a really great games designer from Scotland.

WarpCon game two is @ndpdesign.com The Big Store with @donogh.bsky.social

WarpCon begins with a defeat at Fake Chess to Donogh

Excellent to see this actual play of #FiveEvil with @fromthemorgue.bsky.social and players. Worth checking out on Kickstarter.

Just recorded a #FiveEvil actual play with wonderful special guests. I was nervous! How ridiculous. Of course it went great. But showing your own work is always a bit 🫣 The players were fantastic. The big problem of role-playing games is that I just want to play more with everyone!!

Seeing some 5e chat in #TTRPG spaces. My 2c: D&D 5e has deliberate gaps and ambiguities so it can drift with the table. It's clever. Those soft boundaries mean there's little urgency to explore other games; #FiveEvil aims to lead a 5e table somewhere new. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

I’m a fan of 5E - I play in two long-running campaigns right now - and if you’re also a fan of 5E and you like horror games then you should check it out. #fiveevil

This is well worth a read. It's a compilation of five freebie teasers for the horror rpg Handiwork Games will soon be launching. It is indeed an actual horror game built on top of 5e.

I’m loving Bluesky. I think the way I work, on loads of different kinds of things, doesn’t sit well on algo-driven platforms. While like most creators I have a complex relationship with my own work, I know I’m ok at art. But other places really made me wonder. I’m not distracted by that here. xox

Another great session of Traverser by @paulczege.bsky.social at the Happening in Norrköping run by Grégory Meurant.

Just for @craigoxbrow.bsky.social here is what I got by looking up at the Plough #aurora

Great talk at Conpulsion 2024 in Edinburgh. Aleks Brokman and I (ably hosted by @gregorhutton.bsky.social) talking about historically informed approaches to RPGs.

Yuri Gagarin took off and left Earth behind sixty-three years ago. We did that. We can do more.

Poyekhali!
