Between two Fires I decided to start reading this book as a way to keep me in the #mörktober mood and it sure does. A dark fantasy story where so far, everything is an idea straight from a MÖRKBORG campaign and a muddy, plague riddled world💀 Definitely keeping notes on character and enemy design👀

Some words on The Pale Beyond. A survival game, set on a ship on a polar expedition across the seas and ice, in order to find a lost ship.

Add this onto the looks delightful list as well 😁

Well now, this looks delightful!

Devil Sharks (Pseudomobula tartarus) are highly specialised hunters that attack land prey by leaping, then plunging with them into the water. Several jump at once to improve their chances. The pack waits below, ready for a feeding frenzy. They are known to target fishermen by seeking their lines.

I'm still getting through the issues, and this is a super interesting, highly recommended magazine.

Last bandcamp friday, I knew this dungeon synth album would be handy, only 1 month of listening to it till #MÖRKTOBER 🗡️🧙 grangrumpmedia.bandcamp.com/album/pathwa...

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Our 10-hour stream is happening tomorrow! Tune in for 10 hours of VALUE with each hour a different game. We're starting at 8:15 CEST, so tune in while you're enjoying your morning coffee, as always on www.twitch.tv/streamingthepast

We should put our differences aside and work together to find a way to destroy the sun.

Round

Am I about to watch through Double Fine PsychOdyssey, just the best, most comprehensive documentary about game dev for the 3rd time, and play Psychonauts 2 for the 2nd time? Yep, I believe I am.

I’d take this a step further. Even if you aren’t playing #dnd. Get more descriptive with your destructive spells that deal strange forms of harm. Psychic blast? Pause combat & jump into a flashback of your pc painfully & desperately clinging to a childhood memory the magic is trying to rip apart.

Dear #portfolioday we meet again. My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards. Here's some of my work!

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm Anya. I draw illustrations like these! Always open for work and would love to work on book illustrations, art for TTRPGs or any other project suitable for my style. I also accept personal commissions! ✉ [email protected] Portfolio: anyachalina.myportfolio.com

Joining a 1-month game jam ~ 36 hours before it's over and trying Twine for the first time was a wise choice, right? R...r... right?! 💫

And it's way cheaper than a cup of coffee now! This is one of those games that might introduce folks to the idea of indie games in a short, smooth, loving experience. 🏹 store.steampowered.com/app/3541130/...

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.

🌠 here's a 3-second trailer for our indie game where you—

A unique game I'm happy to have played, an interesting article from a magazine I'm happy to support. A game with a concept and set of priorities that feel very familiar to me and my interests, in ways that I keep discovering for myself. Be curious, be kind, play this game, support this magazine.

One of the most amazing game trailers I've seen in a bit.

The #poettrpg jam starts up in 5 and a half days. Please feel free to get a head start!! itch.io/jam/poetry-i...

NEW VIDEO 🌅 in which I turn Magic the Gathering into a lyric game. Sort of. youtu.be/TzyLIiFXRKo?...

It's true! You can just make a game! Here are some helpful tips on how to get started with your first TTRPG: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/one-page-rpg

I'm over the moon about THE GAS STATION being nominated for BEST MULTIPLAYER TTRPG by the Crit Awards! Unfortunately, I still need about $100 dollars to make rent, so please consider buying my Summer Sale, the best way to check out THE GAS STATION and help out an indie game designer!

Hegumen Markers, colored pencils, colored ink, and a tiny bit of watercolor

Time to install this one, hearing good things about it 💫⌛ Another attempt to play a game to completion, with a completion time of > 20 hours, something that I've not done successfully to reach the actual game finale since...checks notes... 2023 with Tyranny, and before that 2022 with God of War.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYrU... This is my jaaam, a great simple video on photobashing by @chaoclypse.bsky.social has hijacked my sleep schedule, and I'm jazzed to be playing around with all sorts of weird images.

It's an experimental music composing game with weird instruments and controls. There is no challenge in traditional game-y way, but you have to fight your perfectionism to progress. store.steampowered.com/app/1627870/...

Why do I go into this trying to photobash something for MÖRK BORG and come out with an vaporwave/ glitchy electronic album cover 🙄

Threads like these are extremely useful in branching out & reading short, enthusiastic blurbs about hidden gems. If you're like me, these might sit in a wishlist for years, but I still think of it like a little suprise for my future self. Use the Add a Note feature on steam as well 😉

Playing through Jusant, which is charming, and ... I might need to try out that cult of a hobby called bouldering as well 😵 And I definitely need to figure out how to look this cool in sunglasses and a poncho somehow. I think these are inspired by Inuit goggles? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_go...

I am consistently amazed by what people can create in the ttrpg space.

I didn't make this (I sadly don't know who did), and I don't know how I feel about the name, but despite that, this is an INCREDIBLE resource for finding free-to-use, public domain art for your games. The MÖRK BORG community has been using it for years, so should you. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Everything looks way too intriguing, I am overwhelmed 😅

Ex Novo, our playable city generator, is live on Kickstarter and has already hit its funding goal: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha... This makes me happy, and so, for the campaign's duration, this thread will be all about examples of the glorious things your settlements can achieve. 🧵

If you haven't backed this yet, back this. If you have, back this again 🎲🏰 🎲

Does anyone in this vast universe know of any games that look like you are playing through/ experiencing the scribblings of a madman? Any weird uses of collage, physical or digital? I'm interested in the visuals as well as general aesthetics.

This was a super interesting discussion on what we consider games, game history, colonisation and gentrification, the experience of playing games in parts of the world outside of the "western world" and more.

Now that is a pitch worth its weight in cursed amethyst 🃏✨ Consider me intrigued.

Hmm, is this the most realistic way I'll try MÖRK BORG? 👀http://kck.st/425FaV5

So! I teach TTRPGs to beginners professionally in an LGS environment. Here's a thread from me on what has worked, what hasn't, and what to keep in mind as you introduce people unfamiliar with TTRPGs, a system, or a genre.
