It's Kyle Tam's Birthday/launch day! Moriah is @percypropa.bsky.social #TTRPG about ordinary folks facing the extraordinary. The game asks, "What will you sacrifice to save what matters most?" This is the Final Cut of the game with expanded text & visual design! Back it at ttrpg.link/moriah 1/X

this is how he withstands all those concussive blasts coming out of his eyes

Cyclops should have the __thickest__ neck.

Some people claim Pride & Prejudice is the greatest love story ever written, but I think that's just regency bias

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Akane Banashi is big bangs propaganda and I’m afraid it’s working on me.

@senfoonglim.bsky.social and I interviewed @knitnack.bsky.social today for RPG Roots. We talked about the Vietnamese diaspora, RPGs as legacy and memory, and respecting our games and our stories. It was a fantastic chat, and I want to highlight Kevin's work. Here's the main Itch page:

Frieren.... You don't understand. Those of us with short lives, we find entertainment in the little things. You see, that's why I get so excited when the Halo announcer says "killtacular"....

My favorite game of 2025! My most played game of 2025!

the thing about finishing a game is you have to finish it

Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X

An innocent insta-film photo in the middle of an Endless summer in a beach town before the events of the Monsterhearts game I'm playing with @knitnack.bsky.social (Carry), @cherrydrop.bsky.social (Zia), @hallwaysecrets.bsky.social (Celeste), with @hydroforge.itch.io as our GM at the helm.

in case you haven't seen the cover of PASHA THE STORM we've got a butchy older lesbian with tattoos, a gun, and magic so you have NOTHING to complain about!!

you know what time it is. another valentines day right around the corner, another set of indie tabletop rpg valentines

My partner made some new music, and I made them some art to go with it! Go give it a listen leveesfolk.bandcamp.com/album/cult-o...

Y'all I'm FREAKING OUT. I wrote a game for two players about wanting to fuck each other so bad you save the world from fascism about it. Caro's art perfectly encapsulates the game and I have been itching so bad to be able to share it Please go pre save the campaign for this one PLEASE

i am beyond stoked to share in partnership w/@sandypuggames.bsky.social, i'm releasing 24 illustrations from THE EXQUISITE CORPSE IN MAGGOTS' KEEP under CC by 4.0 licensing! find them in a folder in my existing CC by 4.0 drive, accompanied by pre-written alt-text for every piece. jnbutler.art#ccla

Something I've been quite enjoying as I finish up 2025 is developmental editing. So if you're looking for a developmental editor in 2026 for a game... FUCKING PAY ME LET ME BE YOUR SICKO FOR THIS HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME

Do we even need to track ammo in TTRPGs? This week we are looking at ammo rolls in CY_BORG at Skeleton Code Machine. Subscribe to get it Tuesday: www.skeletoncodemachine.com #morkborg #cy_borg #ttrpg

it's finally FINALLY time: INFINITE REVOLUTION, my star-powered, zodiac-inspired exosuit dogfighter RPG, is finished, crowdfunded, and publicly released!! Spin up your Revolver Drive, defend the stars, fall in love, burn up, and remember—THE ONLY THING BRIGHTER THAN YOU IS MORE OF YOU🌠 Link ⬇️

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider: 1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib 2. or a 20% bundle of all my other games: itch.io/s/176257/jum...

Get your game into a stable state and ready to ship? Wrong! Feature creep!

The Endtimes Trilogy is coming to #zinetopia & #zinemonth in February! Follow the page now! I'm bringing three interesting new tabletop rpgs about the end of the world. They play great standalone, or pair nicely as a three part apocalyptic anthology. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

The Nguyễn pronunciation question!

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

As always, Aaron does great, vital, interesting work. I started playing RPGs in 2010, so it’s really nice to chart my own experience and slice of the hobby along with this video, and great to see Session Zero here as it was a really crucial turning point for me. Playtest Zero was born there!

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!! your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there. if we do $613 in sales before Jan 1 i'll do a trifold print run!

Hey folks! Did you know that it's really easy to find games made by poc on itch.io? Just use the "poc made" tag! There you'll find your next fav TTRPG & support some great designers, new and old! If you're a designer, tag your games poc-made so they show up on the feed! itch.io/physical-gam...

In case you missed it, Dragon Reactor's digital edition is AVAILABLE NOW! Grab your copy, gather your friends, and tell your story of myth, mechs, and mayhem! https://forktwenty.itch.io/dragonreactor

One of the absolute coolest games you'll ever play! Also, a wonderful addition to the roster of mech games out there, filling in a needed niche of less crunchy, narrative forward mechanics that still pushes dramatic combat!!

New York friends! Come hang out at the Twenty Sided Store for an A Land Once Magic celebration!

Really leaning into method game dev right now. Researching my nature photography adventure game where the fail state is burnout by getting burned out irl was really insightful. When I get back to my OSR projects I'll think I’ll stop paying my power bill.

One Shot - THE MUSICAL?!?!? On Monday, I'm terrified/excited to share this next One Shot with you I partnered with the AMAZING cast of @rpgmajor.bsky.social - a musical improv actual play podcast playing Last Train to Bremen by @seaexcursion.itch.io, we'll sing the tragedy of BROADSIDE

Thirteen years of retribution, paid in full. The 2025 Possum Creek edition of LAST TRAIN TO BREMEN, a Tragedy for a Doomed Quartet, is now available on itch: seaexcursion.itch.io/bremen

HIRE RU!!! She did an amazing job with ALOM, a game that was written so in my voice that it was rambly and neverending without an editor that's heard me talk for years lol

Brace yourselves, Pilots: Dragon Reactor’s digital edition releases NEXT WEEK! Sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss the mythopoetic mech tragedy #ttrpg you’ve been waiting for! https://f.mtr.cool/aisrykzpwb

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Rascal is the most important source of tabletop news in the hobby. If you can afford to subscribe, I highly recommend you do! My upcoming big video draws HEAVILY on the work of Rascal journalists, and would be much worse without their reporting

I love love love that they hired a painter to do these portraits and then acknowledged her by name. Artists of all kinds supporting each other is so beautiful.

the tarot of the real thread:

Anybody in LA seen the Paranormal Activity play and have an idea of how good the view from the balcony seating is?

I stopped rating movies -really everything- X/5 stars and just focused on if I like it or not. I’ve enjoy things more now.

I discussed some thoughts and feelings i have about @rrookstudio.bsky.social's excellent Sherwood. It's a game of pseudo-historical banditry that borrows a lot from Classic Traveller and takes some delightful and innovative departures. I don't discuss those here.

Don't miss your chance to help these wizardly crows! Their Aviary is an absolute MESS right now!!

SURPRISE, we're making some changes to the Patreon! PDF releases of the monthly dungeons, plus the ability to buy dungeons! Oh, and we're stoked to announce DUNGEONPULP 2025, a collection of this year's postcard dungeons in booklet form! https://www.patreon.com/posts/things-are-gonna-144615774

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread
