I wrote a blog post with 20 classes for an upcoming ttrpg I'm working on about Genghis Khan's early life! tricks-tales.blogspot.com/2026/03/20-c... #ttrpg #ttrpgs #blogosphere #osr

I printed a TTRPG zine last summer and raised $3,600 for legal aid with it! Looking back, here are some of my takeaways about running such a project, with an emphasis on fundraising and project management:

I made a lil design for my online shop and its..... actually so cute

tricks-tales.blogspot.com/2025/12/weat... I reviewed one of the two Usurper Worm God Causing Flooding adventures I've read as part of the Vienna GM Supergroup's year-end review round robin. @munkao.bsky.social has produced a gorgeous adventure!

This is a really great write-up of the Seven Part Pact game I was in earlier this year! @jdragsky.bsky.social's game is complex but so evocative. "Seven Part Pact: An Extremely Complicated Game about Extremely Complicated Men" by @swanandravenstudio.com tricks-tales.blogspot.com/2025/11/seve...

Late post because I needed to rest after the fundraiser but I wanted to stop and take a moment to thank everyone for their help on this project. Back in April, I didn't expect just how much of a lift this would be and how much impact it would have. But I'm so grateful for everyone's support.

To close things out on our final day of the bundle, here are some personal picks of my favorite games from the entire bundle. Thank you all so much to all for contributing and supporting these two wonderful nonprofits!

When we put together a fun little zine of art and ttrpgs, I don't know that I ever expected that we would be able to turn it into such a tool for good! This brings the total to $23,700 raised for Legal Aid in Richmond, Virginia, all because of TTRPGs. Thank you everyone!

< 12 hours left to get this $12 charity bundle. Just to pick one of the 203 included games: Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast retails for $25. If you don't have this genre-defining game, now's your best chance. Your purchase will help provide civil legal aid to our neighbors in VA. Please pitch in!

THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

I'm so thankful for everyone's support in helping us meet this milestone. Absolutely brilliant.

The bundle is still live for 24 hours!!!! If you haven’t yet, this is your last chance to purchase it on itch. For just $12, you get 203 games and your money will go directly to US legal aid!💛 itch.io/b/3276/hello...

In case you need some final inspiration, here are some tools, music, and essays for your games!

Calamity! The bundle is nearly over, there’s today and tomorrow left to get it! Let’s celebrate with some games about apocalypses both big and small! 💥

These are games by friends of mine from the GM Supergroup in Vienna, Austria (and my game as well!) Check 'em out here! itch.io/b/3276/hello...

Bundle is only live for 3ish more days, so expect a few more posts from me before everything closes out. We also have video games! Check the bundle out here: itch.io/b/3276/hello...

Two of my Scanned Textures asset packs, Organics and Textiles are in this bundle! All proceeds go to a great cause!

I can't pick this up right now due to a recent hospitalization and the scads of $s it's going to cost me, but I encourage you to do so if you're able! Awesome items for an awesome cause. #ttrpgs #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Hey! Pay attention! My beloved rpg SNAKES ALL OVER THE PLACE is in this bundle. You can get it and *hundreds* more for twelve dollars. That's cafe sandwich money. Proceeds go to legal aid charities.

As someone from central VA this bundle is so important right now! Do what you can; Give it some support getting some cool games or just share it around. Whatever you do will be helpful for those in need.

I started my career in civil legal aid, and there is never enough money to serve most of the people in need in eviction, unemployment, debt, and immigration cases. As the DMV region suffers from the government shutdown, those needs will just grow. Please give this games bundle your consideration.

Hello everyone! My game Begin Transition is part of the HELLO//GOODBYE charity bundle. Support the cause for only $12 and get access to 203 awesome games!

Some of my games are in this! While they are normally free, now you can pick them up *and* donate to charity, and isn't that better?

So many amazing games in this charity bundle - over 200 for just $12 💗💛

Dropping by in my aloha shirt with mocktail mai tai (with the little paper umbrella) in hand to let y'all know INFILTRATE. SURVEY. PERCEIVE. Is available in this charity bundle alongside many more amazing games and even some SRDs!

I'm participating in an itch charity bundle providing free legal aid to people in Virginia facing injustices under the current US government. Please consider supporting!

If everyone could go signal boost this original post that would be great. This money will help real people if we can get eyes on it! Thank you so much!
