WHAT'S UP MASS EFFECT FANS IT'S YA BOI THE EXPANSION IS COMING HAPPY FUCKING N7 DAYYYYYYYY

Did a solo run of Regicide Legacy to learn the slight updates to the procedures, and got got by the King of Clubs/Warriors. Luckily, I’ve now unlocked the ability to recruit mercenaries to help out!

Did a solo run of Harvest to get the rules down. It’s way more tight than I expected which is both good and bad. It really feels like you gotta figure out early from your character and the setup which routes to victory are viable, and don’t get distracted trying to do everything.

Cover reveal for Mud Ghost Estate Redux! 👻 Mud Ghost Estate is a TTRPG inspired by folklore and urban legends of Hong Kong, where you play as teenagers in the 90s exploring a haunted public housing estate. Launching soon on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...

I find it kind of beautiful that we're seeing the next iteration of Apocalypse World's DIY art. Two of the biggest names in indie roleplaying games show, once again, that it's not about spectacle or expense. It's about using the skills you have and the skills you can develop to make it how you can.

FYI I’m especially keen these days to talk to: - folks who were at the D&D Live events 2017-19 - AP creators pre-2010(ish) - AP creators who do/have done charity events - any game designer or AP creator with Shakespearean or pre-1800 projects (existing or any stage of development)

Last Nov 4, Cebu was ravaged by Typhoon Tino. I want to help my friends rebuild their homes bc this gov't won't. All the most relevant details are in the pics but don't hesitate to DM me here or shoot an e-mail at [email protected] for questions! 6 SLOTS OPEN! [COMMERCIAL RATE ON REQUEST]

D&D is like a boardgame because you play it once and then can't get the people together again.

D&D is like a boardgame as you have to lie about the playtime to get anyone to play it.

D&D is a lot like a boardgame in that it's more popular than RPGs.

Absolutely wild that this article is how we found out about this and not via official sources or on the Discord for FC members

yessssss

rockstar please eat shit

"Hijacking of Agor's Savage Avatar" This is my 3rd Southeast Asian medieval mech! Also, hello! I'm back for a bit, trying to post weekly until the end of the year, which is like 8 weeks? I can do this! (lol probably not)

And away we go. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Here We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

We’re watching Listers and I kinda love dirtbag Sebastian Stan. youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

Super Typhoon cut across the Philippines and devastated many lives and homes. Of the ones struggling, I am thinking a lot of a local animal shelter that currently needs help. BACH Project PH is based in Negros Occidental and takes in strays from all over the island.

Loxam discussed how recent high-profile financial issues at big-names in crowdfunding had affected backer confidence, and that the largest players in the space had "set expectations that can be difficult for mid-sized publishers to meet":

A bit of good cheer! Monster Core 2 for Pathfinder 2e just released, and I can talk about it; I'm happy to have worked on consulting and design for it! 1. Worked with @brianyaksha.bsky.social on Asuras; we had many convos trying to adapt Golarion metaphysics into Vedic and Dharmic cosmologies haha!

Here are a couple more - special shoutout to @zhuindustries.bsky.social and @hmnprsn.org, they've been incredible inspirations and the reason I've started making these! Do check their stuff out, and support them if you can!

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

In case everything I typed doesn’t make any sense:

Excited to show this - I've working on a set of paper minis for all the Level 1 Dungeon Monsters in old-school D&D - Perfect for OSR games!

Was a tad held up with personal stuff over the week, but wanted to share this interview I did with @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social for her horror TTRPG, for @rascal.news - one of the most fascinating projects I've read these days

Reminder this is happening tomorrow!

Bring your games to the Yuri Salon AKA Playtest Zero! For our US-friendly session, join us next Thursday, 6 November from 6 pm (PT) / 9 pm (ET) to late over at the Session Zero Discord server to do some 1-hour playtests of TTRPGs/game bits and chat with other designers! (Image unrelated)

Is Corbeau a kid or a really short king?

Between Vincent & me, we've backed 429 projects on Kickstarter, & funded 18 projects of our own. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... will be our 19th. This is the longest wait we've ever had for a greenlight. Kickstarter United is now in the longest tech strike ever. Solidarity Forever.

Update: The journalist, Gabriele Nunziati, has lost his job for asking this question.

Hoping this helps our colleagues across the industry

The Getty Museum in LA added over 80,000 pieces of art to the public domain with a CC0 license. That means you can download it with no legal restrictions. You just need to click that open-content filter. Could be useful for projects or photo-bashing. www.getty.edu/art/collecti...

Hello gamers I'm opening *emergency* graphic design commissions, to help me keep my healthcare due this friday. Flexible pricing, I'll do: -Title typography -Iconography -flyers Looking forl ow effort/stress (ie not suited for short turnarounds and big expectations), great for mockups and prototypes

Tackling climate change in Daybreak.

Tragedy! Power cut at our place while fogging is happening so we can’t even open the windows and doors to reduce the heat until that’s done

Hey board game folks, I need to contact some board game influencer types for a listicle i'm doing about family board games (for The Guardian). i'll probably contact the usual suspects but if you know of someone from an underrepresented group, pls give a shout! would love more diverse voices!

We never fucking needed a Joe Rogan of the Left

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes. It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess. cairnrpg.com/barebones/

It may be a bit selfish, but helping support @goobernuts.itch.io in college also helps us get more good stuff for Mangayaw. That’s a win for my personal game and for the world as a whole.

Yaaaay my submission to the TTRPG Tools Jam is now live! We’ve been trying to make accessible audiobooks over on @chimerahearts.com for a few months now and we’re starting to get the hang of it. Very happy to narrate one of my favorite worldbuilding games

Dick Cheney departs the world he made: defector.com/dick-cheney-...

this is correct

Mechritter is LIVE on Backerkit now! 💥An all ages, colourful, sticker based hack for Mausritter. 🧱 Set on a declining London high street. Part of Mausritter Month supported by @losing.games @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social and @backerkit.com (thanms for the opportunity)

You know what they say, two Aarons are better than one Wait hang on. This worked with Eds

Massive thanks to @aavoigt.bsky.social for recording an audiobook version for An Altogether Different River, which you can now find on its itch page here (ehronlime.itch.io/an-altogethe...), for the TTRPG Tools Jam (itch.io/jam/ttrpg-to...). Aaron did a great job with it!

One of the things I ask players to do in the setup is to listen to this cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", which uses the 'original' lyrics of the song. It's a nice cover. www.youtube.com/watch?v=et8z...

Playtested Happy Golden Days of Yore aka A Mall Together Different River tonight. Lots of good insight into what needs to be done to pull it together, mainly in how players and characters interact, but I still really love the premise. Here's part of the mall we made tonight.

A question I like to pose, when teaching or in casual conversation, is how many more games you think you'll make in your lifetime.

Mechritter,mine and Kayla's all ages mech system for Mausritter, launches today. Illustrated by @yanahn.bsky.social and @foletto.itch.io . Very excited to share it with the world. Thanks in advance to @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social and @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social for running Mausritter Month!
