Doing playtesting with a drastically improved design sense (2 years will do that to ya) has revealed a lot of problems in the current Footfall. Enough of them are core system related that I actually feel like I have the starting material for working on a full first edition!

Brekken (one of my cats) has been in this box for over an hour, keeping me company as I read =)

Every dungeon should have bathrooms. Change my mind

Y’know, I think the loot tables in Footfall are shockingly good. They’ve been helping me a lot with fleshing out this manor

I don’t understand why I have this compulsion to throw character hooks for the PCs into these adventures They’re all pretty obvious reasons to interact with the space. I don’t think I should need to spell it out, but I can’t stop myself

Still looking for #commissions to cover my rent! #mutualaid

All of the loot in all of your adventures should be vintage alcohols Perpetually get your players drunk on 40 year Almian orange wine, even though they could sell it for 200 shmeebles

Room descriptions are hard =(

My family has apparently been eating off of dirty, improperly cleaned dishes the entire time I was away at college because the dishwasher detergent dispenser broke I fixed it in 5 minutes by changing the position of a spring

This adventure is coming along way better, frankly. My one concern is whether or not the setting can justify guards lmao

One of my favorite parts of writing a TTRPG adventure is doing research. For Haghorse Run I had to learn all about train brakes, couplings, and the history thereof For this one I’ve been digging into the history of the pre-1900s swimming pool I feel like such a nerd lol

We're with more ttrpg coverage over on @tabletopbattles.com! This week's overview collects the "Essentials" series, each of which was written to serve as an entry point into the ttrpg hobby. Catch up before the "Advanced" series begins in two weeks with an article about great One Page ttrpgs!

I had a really bad playtest the other night. Has me rethinking a whole adventure from the ground up. Luckily, I have a second project on the backburner so I can make a quick pivot to that

Y’know, Footfall 0e is over two years old now. I put it out in the middle of college, while struggling to buy food. It was only a little bit before my mother went to prison. I feel like it deserves better than I’ve been able to give it. (1/4)

Hey, so, I made a thing. It’s free. You should read it and tell me what you think rotten-shotgun-games.itch.io/solar-angels

I've been following the Hexroll (pendicepaper.com/hexroll-intro/) project for quite some time, and the most recent alpha for version 3 is *so sick*!

Sneak peek at the map for the upcoming Footfall adventure (Rough draft)

I have added 13 new artworks to the #CCLA library! If you feel like you can use them, do so! I am still struggling financially though, and a small donation can go a long way rn.

I’ve been in the mines. Proof of concept for a dream game coming out today as part of a game jam. Space dogfighting with heavily customizeable ships Keep an eye out

If you're seeing this, you missed it! But, the good news is that this package will always be available for 75usd! Request it by name: The Zine Dream Bundle!!!

Working on a ttrpg for a jam, had “Giocore” games defined to me because of that lol

My personal belief is that every person on this planet deserves a roof over their head, to never be hungry, and to have clean water, and little treats to keep them sane & happy every day Outside of that, I think some people don't deserve shits, Jesus Christ

2 DAYS LEFT And we’re creeping up on $12,000 raised Help us get there! #TTRPG itch.io/b/3670/typho...

WEEKLY REVIEW We're talking about Fall of Gutmound, a Shadowdark dungeon pitting fey against orcs with no clear "good side" to turn to while you seek out treasure. It's an excellent take on some old school ideas. #TTRPG #OSR blog.catshavenolord.page/review-the-f...

This bundle’s got work by some incredibly talented creators, including @johnharper.bsky.social, @riseupcomus.bsky.social, and @lukegearing.bsky.social! Anybody who hasn’t grabbed it yet is missing out, this is a stacked cast

9 more days Can we hit $10,000 by the end of it? We’re only $1,100 away. #TTRPG

Hollow Halls is currently free (and a top ten physical game) on itchio. This is a ttrpg with Fear & Hunger's doom-y tone and a core gameloop and combat system built around inventory management. rotten-shotgun-games.itch.io/hollow-halls...

Hollow Halls is number 2 on Itch now. What on Earth is happening

I’m uhh . . . I’m in the top 4 on itch physical games again I really didn’t expect this to happen to Hollow Halls

Hollow Halls is on the front page of itch.io! The moment I make it free, god damn it lol It just got an update to fix or remove the most egregious problems, but a new edition is still in the works

GET YOUR HANDS ON THE BUNDLE'S MOST EXCLUSIVE GAME, NIGHT CIRCUIT 0309 AM...A JOURNALING GAME LIKE NO OTHER! WITH LAYOUT BY THE GREAT CREATIVE WRONGDOING!

Hey, you should grab this bundle. You’ll be helping typhoon victims AND getting some great games (including my train adventure, Haghorse Run) itch.io/b/3670/typho...

coming soon.

I have AGON in this bundle, alongside a bunch of cool games. Check it out!

Your best chance at getting any sort of creative job is to just make shit. Learn how to code, to draw, to edit - you're not going to get any potential employers to notice you if you just have a cool idea and zero experience. Just make shit.

As such, I’m making the current version free for the time being. I’m talking about changing basic gameplay principles, so this will functionally be a full new edition.

Hollow Halls has massive flaws I’ve been ignoring. I think it’s time for a full revision and reformatting And probably two new classes or something I dunno

Hey, sorry for being dead. Been in the process of moving back from college

I have a Bachelor of Arts!!!!

We've got all stretch goals unlocked and I am at work on Secret Content for the game. If you enjoy Mork Borg, solo ttrpgs, and lush deserted environments come take a look and see what the fuss is about. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

I’ve been working on an investigative RPG, and have slowly realized that it’s very difficult to find mystery adventure modules that aren’t also supernatural horror

Machine Gods kickstarter is live! Also fully funded before noon on day one! (thank you mork borg folks I will intone your praises to the basilisks) www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

AAAAAAAA (I’m shocked that it’s still on the front page /pos)

Currently top five on itchio's physical games category, Footfall is a Thief-y Dishonored-y ttrpg about blades and trinkets and reorienting your personal direction of gravity to divekick a Dickensian guard in the chest. rotten-shotgun-games.itch.io/footfall

I hate emailing. Sending an email gives me so much anxiety, and I forget to check my various emails with regularity which gives me MORE anxiety about missing something important
