A Triangle Agency megagame happened today at Play Bologna!!! They had people playing NPCs from the game's world, tracked the results of missions across all the tables, and sped to a final ending for their setting all in one big group. I wish I was there, I want to see it!!

My new game, the Roots of Soledad, launched two days ago and is almost fully funded! So I'm super excited 😄 Soledad is a magical realism RPG, with lots of drama, supernatural weird things, and deeply human relationships.

It is now less than 48 hours to the launch of Soledad. Maria is drawing stickers to keep the anxiety at bay. You too can profit off her nerves: this design will be our Early Bird incentive for those who back the game between May 7 and May 9!

sat down with a couple of familiar faces for a short demo game. Watch them deal with rebels and art shops, with doppelgangers and strange forest creatures.

*Roots of Soledad* is a new GM-less roleplaying game by my friend
@matthijs1000.bsky.social
. Its innovative mechanics for reincorporation and structuring play solves the issues I’ve had with most GM-less systems. Spiritually related to *Itras by* and *Archipelago*. Highly recommended!

the Chinese audience is around the same size as the US one. The Italian and French translations are completely done too, I believe, and they're being sold and marketed by their own teams. (I talk to the Italian team, Nessundove, a lot. they're awesome)

We've got a new game coming for
#zimo2026
. It's a GMless storytelling
#ttrpg
designed for one-shots. It's also an exploration of themes of scandal and shame, of the rumours that poison communities, of life in 20th-century rural Italy. Come meet old Barbabianca. You remember him, right?

Happy Holidays, everyone! We got a chance to write a Triangle Agency Mission for the December issue of ioGioco magazine. Snowing 'Round the Globe is a 4-page festive Mission. It's a homage to cheesy Christmas romcoms and the longing for a picture-perfect Holiday.
