@jpcoovert.bsky.social once again proves he's just a cool dude, using his platform to highlight small indie creators - including a shout out for the Fang Dungeon Bestiary! Check all these zines out! youtu.be/vy2KOESawrw?...

a response to the @rascal.news article on yazeba's bed & breakfast, clarifying some misunderstandings and (hopefully) providing a clearer explanation of what happened possumcreek.medium.com/a-response-t...

All bloggers are hereby cordially invited to participate in a new blog bandwagon on the topic of MAPS, featuring art (which you can use, remix, distort as you see fit) from @amandalee.bsky.social (Garbage Barge, Vampire Cruise, et al) You have 80 days starting now! #osr #tttpg #blog

Today on Between Two Cairns, @bradkerr.net, @betterlegends.bsky.social and I are joined by @directsun.bsky.social to review Dinoplex: Cataclysm by @ianyusem.bsky.social and CRYO-SIQ by @wacomatrixo.bsky.social. We also answer a mootsack question... sort of! www.patreon.com/posts/dinopl...

Super surprised to hear a Twisting Unseen shout-out at the end of this episode alongside some of my other zine month faves, thanks @directsun.bsky.social !

Missed this when it launched 2 days ago. The art and setting. I really want to read this. Also, check out the charming trailer!

"Ella doesn't mess around" - me, having died in a cave I was lucky enough to playtest and can confirm: you too will totally die in a cave (whilst having a meaningful and emotional time) Also: I highly recommend having @georgiacooked.bsky.social illustrate your demise (whether in-game or elsewhere)

workin on some scifi interiors for patrons free to use in your zines & etc! #ttrpg #osr #zimo

I tried to wrap my head around the #AD&D domain game. How does it work? Is it worth using? What ideas can you steal for your next D&D-like game, & which should you leave in 1979? Plus, what does a character's inhabited domain eventually look like, & how big are those peasant uprisings exactly? #OSR

The first in my ZineMonth 2026 interviews is now live, this one with @directsun.bsky.social talking about their just launched product. If you're participating this year and want to answer some softball questions to promote your project hit me up. #zimo #zinemoth #indiezine

It arrived! It's still so unreal for me.

This one's really special! There's a lot of cool concepts and mechanics happening here - unlike anything I've experienced for Mothership in the past.

Hey, get a load of this wizard tower. It's my escape room puzzle dungeon infused with my love for zelda and crystal fantasy. It's almost finished and now it's crowdfunding 🥲 puzzledungeon.com/tower #zinemonth #osr #dnd @zinemonth.bsky.social

Happy ZiMoto all who celebrate! Hype to see - #ZineQuest at @kickstarter.com - #ZineTopia at @backerkit.com - @gamefound.bsky.social getting in w/ #ZineMonth - Itchfunding at @itch.io & folks just dropping cool projects on their own! What projects are you excited about? ttrpg.link/zimosite

Did I forget to write and publish The Explorateur while working on The Bloggies? *Jonathan Frakes Voice:* "Not this time." A treasure trove of links for rpg designers by rpg designers 👇 www.explorersdesign.com/explorateur-...

There are folk who see new tech, settings or procedures and say, “No thanks, too silly. I’m pretending to be an elf here - this is serious business.” To them I say, “Pah!” In this blogpost, I present House of Cards Encounter Tracking. bommyknocker.bearblog.dev/a-gimmick/ #blog #ttrpg #osr

Hands-on crafting advice with top-notch presentation. This is some damn fine work I'm excited to flip through. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

#ZineMonth is coming up and I wanted to highlight some projects that I am personally excited about. I'll tag creators where I can. This also doubles as the reason I really need The Black Tower Hack to fund, because I am probably going to go broke next month. Please help. Now on with the thread...

The Bloggies 2026 submissions are closing this Saturday night! Please submit your favorite blog posts, blog series, and newcomers on this year's official web page: www.explorersdesign.com/bloggies-2026/ (And please, share this far and wide 🙏)

In my latest blog post, I give thee A Tactile Technique for Tracking Time in TTRPGs! Do with it as you will ⏰ (It can also track other stuff; I talk about it in the post) #osr #ttrpg

I'm one of them!

Binary has been doing really cool work with conflict resolution in tabletop rpgs. I don't think I've seen a more info-dense approach to dice than the kind in Null_Space. Check out this SRD if you're a mechanics sicko like myself.

Here's what I've been up to for the past few months. directsun.substack.com/p/ready-set @zinemonth.bsky.social #osr #zelda #puzzledungeon

What if I change Landmark, Hidden, Secret to use for character knowledge? idk! elmc.at/common-recal...

Ok, now I've yelled about Blightfall, here's more about #Zinetopia! It's part of Zine Month, an initiative I adore where TTRPG creators put out their weird new games as crowdfunded zines. This is the kind of thing an indie TTRPG hipster like me ADORES. Let's look at some of the projects! (1/15)

A reminder that the kickstarter for my next #mothershipRPG module goes live next week (gratis, eine digitale PDF-Version auf Deutsch! 🇩🇪) Can you help my pre-launch page get to 200 followers? www.kickstarter.com/projects/wac...

This month's newsletter showcases adventure modules from @directsun.bsky.social, @wacomatrixo.bsky.social, @proton31.bsky.social, @slimemindstudio.bsky.social and @cameronmaas.bsky.social launching alongside Twisting Unseen this Zine Month. Some cool stuff coming up!

Puzzle Dungeon Jam was super fun and busy. I talk about the experience and looking at the wonderful submissions with so many awesome guests. #osr #ttrpg puzzledungeon.com/a-look-back-...

A blog post that is nearly 3 years in the making, one of my longest posts, and a treatise of dungeon design advice that is disguised as a review of an old module. Patreons get to see it about a month or two early #osr #ttrpg

Had a great time with Dan and Paul talking about puzzle dungeons and A Familiar Tower. Thanks for having me! www.youtube.com/live/m00qu92... @superdan.net @zinemonth.bsky.social #osr #zelda #zimo #zimo26

Overloaded reaction rolls are good fun: dreamshrike.blogspot.com/2026/01/over...

My new #Shadowdark adventure "House of the Wasp" is now in print on DriveThruRPG and Amazon. Who is ready for some samurai and ninja action? #osr #dnd #ttrpg

Sunday we'll get to interview Christ Directsun @directsun.bsky.social for his top tips on designing puzzle-based dungeon and game sessions. Join us in the live chat -- www.youtube.com/live/m00qu92...

Posters for trait d'union's "il n'y a pas d'ailleurs", my latest musical obsession. youtu.be/SDiOwLAjfAQ

Wanted to do some ink-blot painting, so I drew up the character that I'm going to be playing in an Outcast Silver Raiders game - Baltair!

Always good stuff from @lazylitch.bsky.social Great art and every page jam packed with content.

You've heard of wizard towers before, but how about a tower wizard? Today we climb the PERILS OF THE TOWER WIZARD by Ill Hierophant. It's Puzzle Dungeon Workshop with guest @weirdwonder.bsky.social youtu.be/VN_dXqco1A0

This is cool. I also enjoy the table extremes "TOO DAMN COLD" and "TOO DAMN HOT."

Just in case it isn't clear- this is a license free set of 16 pages of full color artwork that I'm offering for $21 dollars. I decided to keep the price on the lower end to increase viability for smaller creators taking part in something I hope is interesting. better-legends.itch.io/dungeon-of-s...

Hey, I'm going to be on Wandering DMs this Sunday to talk puzzle dungeons 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=m00q...

we're live gamers

In tabletop rpg design, sometimes gameplay doesn't come from the mechanics we add, but the ones we omit. www.explorersdesign.com/dominant-mec...
