im not sure if ill do anything to edit that which blooms in the dark, honestly there are a few things id like to change a bit, but ultimately, i think i should leave it be errata isnt really necessary for it, but i do think its a little vague on the lore it provides, like on contracting #fiwb #ttrpg

Big news: Internet Archive Europe ( @internetarchive.eu ) has opened its new HQ in Amsterdam! 🎉 A home for preservation, access & shared cultural heritage. Read coverage from @mariabustillos.com in Flaming Hydra: flaminghydra.com/freedom-and-...

back to fiwbposting, that funny little game about hunters was really fun and id like to make more games like that (yknow, shorter ones with more niche scopes) but im struggling and thats okay, but all of my ideas become more grandiose than id like im not sure how to remedy this, but im working on it

i try not to get political on this account, because its not something i really enjoy discussing. i do feel the need to say something at this point though, after seeing the general reaction and behavior surrounding recent events. im not really sure how to put this succinctly and well, so thread time

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there; Are there any heavily magic abrogationist (aka, anti-magic) movements in your setting? Stuff such as groups that reject magic or individuals who want to outlaw it? #TTRPG

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there; What, if anything, lives in space" in your setting? I'm sure my homies with sci-fi settings have got plenty for this question, but I'm very curious what the Fantasy writers have. #TTRPG

Starsector 0.98a is out! Fight new enemies, acquire new ships and weapons, and much more, featuring new story missions, autosave, a revamped combat simulator and Codex, and other UI improvements! fractalsoftworks.com/2025/03/27/s... Please repost!

Hello #ttrpgsky! It's cleaning time for my #ttrpg #starterpack, removing a few inactive accounts and adding some new and exciting folks. Does anyone have any recommendations on who to add?

after submitting my own game, i looked at the other projects of the one page game jam and found They Should Have Sent a Poet i have had a lot of fun with this one so far, so im going to link it directly here: itch.io/jam/one-page... check it out if youre into space horror and such :) #ttrpg

just blasted through making a one page rpg for the one page rpg jam 2025 on itch in like an hour i am GAMING also, itch.io/jam/one-page... the jam for anyone curious if you havent already seen it and the game, for anyone who wants to see that itsmagic4757.itch.io/fuck-it-we-b...

i have come to the discovery that people do not open posts public service announcement all of my text posts are threads lmao

also, first picture on this account i guess. i made a sketch of soritae, one of the main protagonists of fuck it we ball's narrative. she's a magical creature that eats the magic rocks in peoples' bones for fun (read: because she got hungry) not sure what kinds of tags to use here, so: #fiwb #art :)

been a bit, so update time i guess ive rewritten a lot of the important mechanics, like rolling dice and the like. with this fresh start, ive also realized that ive been streamlining things too much and its made the game far too simple for my liking. so, to combat this, im changing things. #ttrpg

#ttrpg hot take: it's very okay to learn from and have opinions about games that you've read but not played. A ttrpg can be experienced in many ways. There are games that influenced me and my opinions before I ever played them. I still haven't played some of them. Don't gatekeep yourself from art!

i dont want to leave everyone in the dark when i dont post for a while (longer than usual) so ill go ahead and make it known. fuck it we ball's main document was just lost forever, along with all of its backups. there might be an older version somewhere in my discord alt DMs

havent posted in a while but your mother anyway, ive been thinking about crafting mechanics a lot lately, and whether or not i want to include them in fuck it we ball ive elected that i do want them in the game and i want them to be sufficiently good so here we are #fiwb #ttrpg

happy pride everyone :D sorry for totally dropping off the face of the earth but expect it to stay that way for a bit, will be unavailable to bluesky more than i am currently (i wont just forget to post, i wont have time to) but happy pride to all, and to all a happy pride

Today is the only day you can repost this.

say hi to the previously mentioned fiwbpost! so ive come to a realization in the past few weeks and that's that currently, fiwb's mechanics are fucking CLUNKY so ive spent these past few weeks cleaning up those mechanics and trying to maintain the intrigue of them without making it wack #fiwb #ttrpg

i feel i need to make this explicitly clear in advance: if you engage with generative artificial intelligence, dont engage with me i dont like the resource costs of these services i dont agree with the sentiment that publicly facing art should be free to use for training expect a fiwbpost soon :)

Today is the only day you can repost this.

searching for the blade as we speak

hello again, im here today to talk about presence, fuck it we ball's magic system, and starships, a lategame form of progression and combat these systems are vastly different but theyre important, so we'll go over them #fiwb #ttrpg

playing starsector has defined the way through which starships are going to develop, that is all and goodbye (prepare for a big mechanics post soon on both presence and starships)

#TTRPGQuestion For those that celebrate happy Easter🥚🐇 Given the day it got me thinking about a question based on coming back from the dead, namely is it possible in your ttrpg world? If so how easy or dangerous is it? What sort of complications may arise from those that attempt it? If not why?

okay time to talk about new developments fiwb ttrpg has expanded from just the modern ton-618a area to the entirety of the expanded fiwbverse, and to do this, i have devised tech levels standard mechanic, you select a tech level and if an item is at or below it you can use it #fiwb #ttrpg

its always lovely to feel seen by someone who understands the experience, thanks fellow vicky :D

Asexual Awareness Day! 💜🤍🖤 Shout out to my fellow aces who went through adolescence waiting for sexy feelings to unlock only to be like "hey wait a minute" 🤔😂 I still experience attraction in other ways; idealizing just the sexual one is society's issue 😁🤷🏾‍♀️ May we all find what we need 🫶🏾

makign women more evil

oh fuck i missed it better late than never though happy trans day of visibility i love being trans, i love the people ive met through my transition and the people ive grown close to during it i may be excessively new to this (i dont even have hrt access) but its been an amazing journey so far #tdov

holy shit brain blast ive just remembered a horrible monster, so content warning: burrowing, bones, and sharp objects #fiwb

maybe i should start making littler posts about fiwb that no one but me would get build up the public information on it and stuff via jokes and occasional memes yknow, stuff like 'overstress isnt real it cant hurt you' 'the overstress in question' or smth idk itll be funny i think #fiwb

god damn playing ttrpgs is fun

hello all from 'Trans Game Devs & Creators', here is your primer :) ill probably have a new post to read in a few days or smth but no promises

to everyone who has followed me from 'Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) Design: Indie and Hobbyists 3', welcome! i talk infrequently and in bulk about my TTRPG Fuck It, We Ball, where you play as criminal detectives pinning cold cases on people your handlers dont like, all the while committing more crimes!

"you need to label nsfw" ok fair. however if you just keep passive-aggressively barking at people every now and then instead of pointing out where and how people can do that and adjust their settings im gonna just unfollow you too. this is how you apply labels, you can do so when you upload photos!

hello all like a neglectful parent i return at an inopportune time to bombard you with information you didnt ask for this time im returning to mechs to talk about hypersonic mechs and transforming mechs (these are the same thing) #fiwb #ttrpg

We had more requests from awesome #ttrpg designers than we could possibly fit into our last #starterpack, so we're putting together another! This list is still growing! Comment if you're interested in being added! Likes and shares appreciated! go.bsky.app/E2vgHMz #ttrpgCommunity #dnd #trpgsky

cant believe i never talked about it, but im removing a feature from weapons i considered to be their stand out thing until now gimmicks were gonna be a cool thing that every weapon could do, like a special move, but they started to lose tie ins to the rest of the game gradually #fiwb #ttrpg
