Hah, I stopped using bluesky because it took more attention from my hobby than benefitted it...the exact inverse of the reason I joined in the first place. The more I see heart counts and text walls, the less fun stuff I get to make. Aim your gaze wisely, friends.

I put together a version of my free hex/square painterly tile sample pack for Itch.io. This is like a little mini-tour through all my terrain tilesets, and best of all, they're gratis! Get it here -> dgbaumgart.itch.io/hex-and-tile... (Guess I should tag stuff,) #gamedev and #indiedev I think.

Rogue 🗡 Defender 🛡 Priest ☀️ #ttrpg #sketch

Best metal album of all time 🤘 youtu.be/tCCdRKRYP9g?... Animating this would be such a blast. You better believe it's on my thousand project bucket list 👑🔥🔥🔥 #zelda #metalaf #returnofganon #artist

Just finished upgrading my game's alchemy subsystem, and it feels super crispy now. 👌 I can't wait to play a compulsive sample hoarding dumpster diver potion junkie like it's Skyrim. #dtgarpg #zelda #ttrpg

Rito alchemist for my Zelda Ttrpg 💣 #dtgarpg It's Dangerous to Go Alone Take this: gum.co/flMRA

My game's discord community is really great for feedback. Some real pros in there, and I've had a couple suggestions lately from them where I gave a "Hell yeah" to revise

Ice to meet a handful of new followers out of the blue. Stay cool with a Chilfos from Twilight Princess #zelda, which you can summon with the new Spirit Companion perk in #dtgarpg 4th edition. I'm tearing through this update, making lots of progress 💪

Another shot of a recent commission - I drew a dozen ship rooms for the Adventure Islands RPG...this one is an alchemist's lab. What ship isn't complete without a resident alchemist? #commissions #ttrpg #fantasymap

Meet my next D&D character, Rocky Bilboa: He's a featherweight fuzzyfoot on an unexpected journey, rising up, back on the streets of Rivendell to show those uppity tall races the real meaning of Lord of the Rings. #ttrpg #hobbit #rocky #mashup

#ttrpg Don't you find it odd that mainstream *roleplaying* games don't have a clear metric for PC-NPC relationships? I took cues from Stardew Valley and an animal behaviour chart posted at the vet and made my own Trust subsystem. No reveals until #dtgarpg v4 drops🤞 But here's what I mean:

Got the bones together for an Into the Odd monster generator, but it's currently missing the right VIBES. But I THINK this works to generate usable monsters? Dunno, make a couple and throw them at me.

Next drop Manta Map #sketch #ttrpg

I aim to make games with few rules, but a crap ton of STUFF. Because I feel it's important to encourage many opportunities for creative play without helicopter DMing. (Also tbh I'm kinda dumb and don't like to be bogged down in dogma myself) #chaoticgood #ttrpg #indiegames

Korok fencer for #dtgarpg Little guy is casting the Branch spell which gives you long wooden limbs, a fitting addition for this forest boi. Zelda TTRPG: gum.co/flMRA Version 4 is in progress! 😲 Looking for spot art volunteers soon. We have 80 contributors so far. Lmk 🤞 #zelda #ttrpg #indiegame

My #ttrpg goal for 2025 is to make a game that uses Vibe Check as a rollable stat. The meta rule is if you fail the check but are real cool and accepting about it, it becomes an automatic success anyway.

I'm terrible at advertising stuff, but I think my game "Here;" is a great journaling game for saying goodbye to the old you going into 2025. #TTRPG #journal ghostcandle.itch.io/here

Death Mountain Museum Another #zelda one. Our party tore through this first trap-filled dungeon recklessly. The BBEG spared no expense in reminding them to keep a finger on that Perception roll. Gamey Maps: chaoticgoodgames.gumroad.com/l/lands Zelda TTRPG: gum.co/flMRA #ttrpg #indiegame

Gimme more indie #ttrpg ideas, artwork, and game dev delicacies, Bluesky. The kind of stuff that drives your creative spirit and keeps you making what you love despite all the other junk we deal with. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm not digging around here to stumble upon everyone's random samskaras.

Good morning #ttrpg folks! Did you remember to nudge that indie dev you know, and tell them about our grants for scenario and game designers? The ones opening in January, that will help them pay for art, layout, editing, and other professional services?

Our #TTRPG Goals for 2025:- - Help @everhumbledm.bsky.social move to Full Time GM'ing - Earn another CRIT Award Nomination - Run our first In-Person AP - Bring in some big guest spots - Release all 35+ of our planned AP Projects - Hit 1K Subs on YouTube - Launch our first Kickstarter for *REDACTED*

Ladora the zora explorer An NPC in our old Zelda ttrpg campaign. Runaway princess of the Zoran royal family, she bought a little ship and sails between Hyrule and Zora's Domain for kicks, and the best option for crossing the sea. 👀 gum.co/flMRA #zelda #ttrpg #roleplaying #cartoon #charaterdesign

I'm overhauling DTGA's skills for 4e. Each 'package' includes a subset of actions and passive stats with concise mechanics to guide the GM.🤞 For example, Athletics includes climb, swim, sprint, jump, and common movement speed. I'll share the final set soon. Almost done! #ttrpg #indiegame #dtgarpg

Firey gerudo lancer for DTGA's section on fire magic 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I finished a character sketch by @themoonfound.bsky.social It's Dangerous to Go Alone 💚 Take this: gum.co/flMRA #dtgarpg #indierpg #ttrpg #zelda

Hi friends, Im here to promote my pixel art minis that I made a few years ago, if you want to contribute with some end of the year money and get some cool pixel art miniatures for your #ttrpg sessions, consider getting it. raul-volp.itch.io/lost-city-of...

Zora's Domain 🐟 Frozen-over fish city for my Zelda campaign. The party got lost in the Lost Woods (go figure), so the big bad has already finished here and peaced long before they arrive. Part of my map collection: chaoticgoodgames.gumroad.com/l/lands #ttrpg #gamemaps #dtgarpg

I'm currently restructuring DTGA's Skills for the v4 overhaul and looking for advice. Which skills in your TTRPGs do you not use? Either because it rarely comes up in games, or semantics make it uncertain. (Or other!) #ttrpg #roleplayinggames #indiedev

Retro style #botw Link I couldn't resist sneaking it into the gallery of DTGA. #dtgarpg #chaoticgoodgames #ttrpg #zelda #indiegame

Goriya ranger, for the playable races section of DTGA. I fused the goriya from LOZ 1 and the doberman-like darknuts of Wind Waker to expand the lore of both. I imagined their language sounding like a woofy arabic. It's Dangerous to Go Alone Take this: gum.co/flMRA #ttrpg #rpg #zelda

It’s #TTRPGRising day, so if you have below 1000 followers, let me know and I’ll put you on the list: go.bsky.app/VYN4wLL If you have above 1000, help everyone out by sharing the list around! #ttrpg #rpg

What's up, Bluesky🤙 I make offgrid rules-light TTRPGs. The flagship project is a 3 book Zelda fan collab, there's a mini oneshot game about amnesiac skeletons, and a retro Final Fantasy parody incoming 👀 (I also make cartoons, but lets talk games first🫢) Fergsart.carrd.co #ttrpg #rpg #indiegame

Working out the screen-loop mechanic of an OG Lost Woods inspired RPG dungeon 👀 The concept here is when players consume psychedelic mushrooms a new quarter is unlocked...and also they have gradually more severe status effects and hallucinations 🍄👀 #ttrpg #dungeonmap #indiegame #zelda

The first version of my Fantasy World currently called "New Light". Ask me questions and I will happily answer! #WorldBuilding #FantasyMap #Fantasy #AskMeAnything

About that B&W series I've talked about, I couldn't miss a #TLoZ one! ♥️♥️♥️ #Zelda | #Midna | #TwilightPrincess | #Art

Did a little art and craft show St the old studio today with a bunch of other past and present studio employees. Was nice to see folks and catch up with them! I'll be selling the paintings as soon as I document them.

Couple more photos from Mercury's art show last night. These minimalist music videos are tests for my cartoon in dev: *Robbiehood* 🐈‍⬛🏹 👀They're on Youtube! @ furg 🎵Lofi beats by Hewie Lou youtu.be/wuD55V4j0aQ?si=o3WxEVBwm5MPiRpR youtu.be/MFiH8gXsUt4?si=NKL9G9af9Ye-hvKT #lofibeats #animation

My maps got some compliments at Mercury's art show tonight 😌 and good times with friends I haven't seen in a while. Chill little event! Peep the Book of Lands RPG map collection: chaoticgoodgames.gumroad.com/l/lands #ttrpg #maps #indiegames #gameart

An old #swsttrpg map I made for fun. Made to evoke intrigue about what sorts of places are marked on it

A selection of playable races in our Zelda ttrpg *It's Dangerous to Go Alone* There are more in the ACE expansion! (Along with a homebrew how-to for fellow chaotic-gooders. I got you 🤜🤛) gum.co/flMRA #zelda #ttrpg #indierpg

I was also incredibly honoured to have the creator of "It's Dangerous to Go Alone" have a seat at my table for @questjunkies.bsky.social Check out the game! It's incredibly fun! ✨🙌

Let's launch right to the point! I'm a 15 year industry animator who makes indie tabletop games. My flagship project is the unofficial Zelda TTRPG "It's Dangerous to Go Alone". It's PWYW on Gumroad: chaoticgoodgames.gumroad.com Or my project site! fergsart.carrd.co More soon -A👑
