🧟‍♂️ Unsunken: Paris Below is an absolutely wild mega-dungeon. Every element is inspired by historical research and filtered through the Stillfleet Studio’s patented Make the Plot Fucking Epic® machine. #ttrpg #rpg #paris #dungeon #historical

Tales of Tony's house burning down were moderately exaggerated... So tonight join us as we sit down with Wythe from @stillfleet.bsky.social to talk about The Grit system that powers their #TTRPGs Blistering Critters Still Fleets Picar... Os And more Tonight we dive in on Procedures At Play

🌟 We had such a great time at Running GAGG! ~35 people played 4 different Grit System games across 7 epic sessions with Wythe and Aaron. Can’t wait to be back next year! (Gotta rent a car next time tho lol.) #ttrpg #rpg #indierpg #geneseo #NY

HODAG is back at it with the special content! Who doesn’t love centaurs!? You’d be befuddled not to bag the HODAG Mag.

We out here! Running GAGG, Geneseo, NY #ttrpg #rpg #indierpg #roleplay @hollowearths.bsky.social

💀 We’re finally publishing our high-fantasy/portal-world/cars-are-alive game, The Sometimes Kingdom RPG by Ethan and Wythe. Ethan’s art is bonkers, and the unique spellcasting system will change the way you think about magic. Plus: skeletons! So many skeletons! #rpg #highfantasy #spells #portal

Our upcoming Weird Wednesday open game is PICARO! with Wythe! Join our Discord and play game with us! Here is the event link: discord.gg/Mat5QnANk?ev... #rpg #ttrpg #letsplay #discord

Stillfleet Studio is excited to join the Analog Union—a collection of amazingly creative independent tabletop game creators with one consolidated weekly newsletter! You can follow everything we do here: analogunion.com #rpg #indierpg #newsletter

We're very excited to be going live with @floaker.bsky.social to chat about their innovative TTRPG design, including the latest, The Thunder Perfect Mind Ask questions here: www.twitch.tv/stillfleet CC @timespace.place

Goes without saying among nerdom, but: Everyone should support groups resisting ICE in MN and abolishing ICE, in general, as much as we can right now. Big ups to everyone who volunteers, donates, calls, protests, takes direct action, signal boosts, etc.

Join Wythe and Tony chatting about TTRPG design workshop and updates! #LiveTalk #ttrpg #gamedesign #twitch

Introducing one of d100 maleficia (mutations) from the Danse Macabre Rulebook! Also, check out @timespace.place's cool art! #rpg #ttrpg #d100 #medieval #roleplay

This thread on genAI is exceptional. We need captivating, actionable, authentic positive visions of the future—and they will not start with or center genAI. Would read @roryblank.bsky.social 's philosophical manifesto (hopefully illustrated).

PICARO!—the newest Grit System game—is fast to learn and extremely fun. Rob the rich. Increase your infamy die. Use your infamy die to get free gear and stay alive—because you're just too famous to die! #tpg #ttrpg #robtherich #roleplay

Wythe and @timespace.place braved the freezing slush to run a slew of Grit System sessions at PAGE 3, meet some droids, and catch up with many of our buds in indie TTRPG design—whom you'll hear from on Why We Roll if you haven't already. #rpg #game #convention #rpgcommunity

🧚 Our next Weird Wednesday open game is The Sometimes Kingdom with the creator @spectralhouse.bsky.social! Of course, first timers are welcome! Here is the event link: discord.gg/U9pDwK8h?eve... #rpg #opengames #discordcommunity #scififantasy

👋 Headed to PAGE 3? So are @hollowearths.bsky.social and @timespace.place from the Stillfleet Studio. Try a Grit System game, say hi, or just grab a sticker. Happy gaming! #rpg #gamecon #indierpg #page #ttrpg

⚔️ Fans of Quixote? Swords, spells, early guns, and blowing up nobles? Fighting early capitalism, imagining a different path toward modernity? Check out PICARO! Early Modern Fantasy-Roleplay by @hollowearths.bsky.social Published by @plusoneexp.bsky.social #rpg #quixote #capitalist #fantasy

This is an interesting summary of the indie RPG industry, offering a useful periodization. We're excited to see what the future holds—and to contribute more Grit System games to the collective conversation.

Working on the dungeon book for Danse Macabre, Unsunken, I'm inspired by the amount of actually good dungeon material out there, new and old. This thread for one:

🐢 New artwork for an upcoming Blister Critters supplement penned by Colin Chapman in New Zealand! More info to come on refreshingly wild Wonders Down Under coming later this year. @oddgobgrasso.bsky.social #rpg #cartoon #animal #newzealand

🕳️ NARM—the Hellstraw—a cylinder of black stone, the width of Luna, thousands of light years long… Status: classified. The Co. desires the secrets within the largest, strangest ultrastructure in threespace—its hulks, alien cities, & floating pocket dimensions. Will you sign up with the NARM Desk?

Our first Weird Wednesday open game this year will be Danse Macabre with @timespace.place on January 7th at 6:30 PM ET! First timers are welcome! #opengame #rpg #discord Here is the event link discord.gg/XHy98Ktk?eve...

Dear indie TTRPG land: happy winter holidays and new year! Hope y'all are enjoying time with family and community ahead of a brighter 2026. Much love. (Pictured, @hollowearths.bsky.social & @eeranu5.bsky.social. V. festive art by @hodagrpg.bsky.social.)

The Danse Macabre Rulebook update: The book has been written, edited, and laid out. It’s looking amazing! Here are some draft spreads—thanks to the game’s graphic designer, @oddgobgrasso.bsky.social! cc @timespace.place #rpg #graphicdesign #kickstarter #update #tabletop

Shouting out a fellow indie SF designer, @adamstation.bsky.social : this book is amazing. Everyone who plays Stillfleet, Mothership, or other far-future TTRPGs with starships, hulks, and ultrastructures should pick it up. It's a charming small hardback with amazing art and copy. Genuinely useful.

This week, we talk with @mossdaggar.bsky.social from Brewist Tabletop Games about their nautical- / Christian-horror TTRPG, HELLWHALERS. Tune in as we chat about pushing token economies, creating expansions, WHALES, and the eternal question – can you actually win a TTRPG? #podcast #gamedesign #rpg

After some tech difficulties, we’re going live just a couple of minutes late on Why We Roll with @seanireland.bsky.social ! Twitch.TV/Stillfleet

Politics + TTRPGs: I'm so honored to have been part of a talk this weekend organized by @skiesoffortune.bsky.social and featuring the amazing @fsohns.bsky.social and @reverierebels.bsky.social (and, in an alt-timeline, @laurieoc.bsky.social ). I can't wait for the VOD to drop!

Not only do @benferber.com, @dndramanerds.bsky.social, and company make fun AP; they also say smarty-pants things about gaming in general. It's always strange but nice to read/listen to reviews, and DnDN goes beyond the "good/bad" dichotomy, breaking down how game props lead to different emotions

I mostly agree with this article, but I think indie RPGs are doing great, too, all things considered. Daggerheart's rise helps us, if anything. "What PAX Unplugged tells us about the future of tabletop gaming" www.avclub.com/pax-unplugge... H/t @jeddcole.bsky.social for the link!

👋 Check out our special episode of WHY WE ROLL on the floor at PAX Unplugged 2025! We interviewed 5 cool game designers • Jon Boyle/Okami/Rhodrick Magsino/Mike Underwood/Spencer Campbell. #podcast #whyweroll #gamedesign #rpg #ttrpg #tabletopgames #paxu #interview #indierpg

Wee update: we are not *not*-posting; we are just busy making Danse Macabre. It's going to be awesome. The Rulebook has been written and laid out. The Guide has been written. Over half of Unsunken has been written. Art is in progress. Backers, expect an update with more details!

Join us as we chat with higher ed specialist and designer of the S.A.N. (Simple and Narrative) game engine, Anthony Kurza. About using TTRPGs to foster leadership and identity development, creating systems and adventures for students, teaching TTRPG design, and more! #podcast #gamedesign #rpg #ttrpg
