Big fan of this format for Barbabianca (sheaf of sturdy pages that can be passed around, collected in a cardboard wrapper) which was also used for Our Queen Crumbles, and would be perfect for Firebrands-style games with all the minigames.

I am back home in Verona for a few days, and back to games. I finally got my hands on the new edition of Rusalka by Nick Wedig: the game is published by @nessundovelab.bsky.social with art by @toadlett.bsky.social, and you can sign up for the pre launch here: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... 1/

Your favorite-designers-favorite-designer and Games on Demand stalwart Nick Wedig is getting a fully illustrated box-set version of his dark fairy tale game Rusałka from @nessundovelab.bsky.social! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Barbabianca, by @nessundovelab.bsky.social. Set in the deep Italian countryside, this is a tragedy in four acts. Create a village and flesh out the relationships that live within it - and determine the role of Barbabianca, a character placed at the centre of an old scandal.

Happy to be the 307th backer 🦜 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for The Roots of Soledad - A Magical Realism RPG by @nessundovelab.bsky.social ! Magical realism with this level of love and detail can be a truly wonderful experience, either as a digital or physical game. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

Everyone @matthijs1000.bsky.social included has been deep in the Play Bologna vortex, but a nice review of the Soledad preview just came out by the Brazilian YouTuber @solerverso.bsky.social ! Check it out if you want a quick overview of the game. youtu.be/XcqU36hlE0Y?...

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!!

ATTENTION, AGENTS! Our colleagues at Triangle Agency France are crowdfunding the translation of @hauntedtable.games 's stellar <employee handbook/ttrpg>. If you have a French-speaking friend, go bother them about it Right Now!

Hi it's my birthday! You are strongly encouraged to look at my work and maybe even say nice things if you think it is nice? Physical store: www.etsy.com/shop/Toadlett Digital store: toadlett.itch.io Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/toadlett

Still a couple of hours left to back Soledad and get a free art sticker exclusive to Early Birds! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

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. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

The Roots of Soledad is LIVE on @backerkit.com ! @matthijs1000.bsky.social 's GM-less, card-based game will help you improvise a story of magical realism, in the vein of One Hundred Years of Solitude. Watch as every card helps the characters' tales get more intricate and tangled.

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!

Curious to see how The Roots of Soledad is going to play? @matthijs1000.bsky.social 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.

wake up, game trailer for The Roots of Soledad just dropped

I was on Vertshuset, the Norwegian RPG podcast! Talked (in Norwegian) about Soledad, Archipelago, Den Nye Våren, and more. Second podcast in a short while! Well, I do like to talk about my stuff. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SZKZ3W9BDMMpJfS1aca0m

Chiara and @matthijs1000.bsky.social got to have a wonderful chat about The Roots of Soledad with Ed Rathke! Go listen to them discuss GMless gaming, magical realism, and so much more. open.spotify.com/episode/7Ecf...

"A Week with Frog and Rabbit" is my next TTRPG, crowdfunding next month! It features 7 small cozy adventures, all gorgeously illustrated by @maumont.bsky.social; here's a look at Monday's story, "Frog and Rabbit go for a walk". www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #TTRPG #Pocketopia

Curious about what's going on with @matthijs1000.bsky.social and Soledad? We shared a bit more about the campaign on Rascal.

*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!

After Barbabianca, we're gearing up for another project: The Roots of Soledad, a magical realism #ttrpg by Matthijs Holter. As fans of Archipelago and Society of Dreamers as much as A Hundred Years of Solitude, it's a privilege for us to do our part in developing this game.

OMG so great to read a playthrough of the Hex mode! I've been giddy to see what people do with it.

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)

2 hours left to the end of #Zinetopia and we couldn't be happier with the reception Barbabianca got over on @backerkit.com ! Thank you all for joining us in this little, grand village square. Having such a niche Italian game by a debuting designer receive the love of 170+ people is amazing already.

Join us tonight at 3PM EST - 9PM Rome time to hear our translator Chiara chat about Barbabianca with the fine folks at @weirdplace.bsky.social ! Or jump in at 12PM EST - 6PM Rome time to discover dozens of weird, wonderful games in this #ZiMo Showcase. youtube.com/live/sDalXw_...

Hurrah for The Magus! @momatoes.com

Chiara just had a great chat with @thirdkingdom.bsky.social to explore the themes behind Barbabianca! Come and listen.

Barbabianca: GMless, collaborative storytelling game for 3–4 players set in rural Italy, early 20th century, where gossip and memory can poison a whole village. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n... Zero-prep, table-built communities where the drama comes from relationships rather than combat. 2/6

Another amazing roundup. Thank you for including Barbabianca.

Barbabianca is live on @backerkit.com ! Happy #zimo2026 #zinetopia everyone. Remember that Early Bird backers who pledge in the first 48 hours will get a bonus enamel pin. Now go support other cool projects! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

Less than 24h left 'till #zimo2026 and the crowdfunding for Barbabianca begins! We have a token of appreciation ready for Early Bird backers: our exclusive Village Souvenir enamel pin, designed by Maria Guarneri, shipped free with all physical rewards pledged in the first 48 hours of the campaign.

Awesome pre-ZiMo roundup! Thank you for including Barbabianca, every single game in this list sounds rad as hell.

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.

We did a (very emotional, very gay) charity game of Our Queen Crumbles on @nerdswdice.bsky.social , if a one-shot fills the brief? It was my first time with the system, but it was so good I’ve been noodling on using it again ever since 😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjUu...

I forgot. I also have The Oracle by @momatoes.com, who is possibly the best prompt writer making journaling games, and that inspired talent is present also in her card themes in this deck, which have a lot of energy from their dualities. nessundove.it/en/shopping/...

Only 2 copies of The Magus left at Dragonmeet! Come pick them up at booth 1B and check out cool games by @bodieh.bsky.social @fanterland.itch.io and @rolistespod.itch.io while you're at it.

Working hard to assemble a few hundred boxes of Our Queen Crumbles #ttrpg. Chiara is perfecting her speedrun technique before Dragonmeet.

Chiara Is excited to be on the way to London for Dragonmeet next Saturday, sharing a table with some very cool friends. Who else will be there?

The Italian division of the Agency is glad to announce that Triangle Agency is the Italian Game of The Year for 2025! Our heartfelt thanks to @hauntedtable.bsky.social for creating the Triangle Agency TTRPG Initiative, as well as our field Agents, baristas, and hotline workers (to Clowns: honk).

16/17 These photos were taken Wednesday after setup, so The Magus & The Oracle appears where you would have seen it Thursday, before it sold out.

Congratulations @hauntedtable.bsky.social ! The Italian Division of Triangle Agency salutes you with pride.

Have you picked up your copy of @momatoes.com 's The Magnus & The Oracle yet? You'll find it at Gen Con this weekend, with the fine folks of @ipr.bsky.social at booth 449!

It's the last day at the ENNIE Awards and @hauntedtable.bsky.social 's Triangle Agency is a finalist in 4 categories! Go give it love. You'll be rewarded for it. We promise*. vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025/
