So, secondary announcement: Alongside the Leaf & Lance launch, we have a new community Discord server for Animon Story fans and anyone who wants to follow along and hang out with us! discord.com/invite/QeCuE...

I'm delighted to introduce 🍃Leaf & Lance, a new home for the joint creative works of myself and @detheria.bsky.social! To me, Leaf & Lance means nature, fairytales, and adventure. Stories, and growth. Wonder and peril. My inspirations! Of course, Leafpig and Lancelotl had a part to play as well 💚

check out the logos I designed for Leaf & Lance studio, fresh out the pot! 🙂 massive thanks to Zak and Leo for trusting me with their designs! I absolutely loved developing these logos - combining icons and characters with letters is always fun! can't wait to see them featured in L&L games!

Just finished Annals of the Western Shore by Le Guin. I adore Earthsea, but her later writing like this is absolutely astonishing.

Pondering forbidden tomes (1000 pages of unreleased Neopets TTRPG)

It’s 2001, the game mechanics are impenetrable, the vibes are immaculate. I don’t think there’s anywhere in games as nostalgic as this for me, and i think the fact I was never able to beat this game as a kid only intesified the feeling of mystery.

This week on the blog - a celebration of our crossover with Animon Story, but also great if you ever looked at a monster and wished it was more on fire breakrpg.blogspot.com/2026/03/free...

I promise it's the last time I'm re-sharing this, but it *is* pokemon day, I get a free pass, probably

The new starters are all so cute omg, i just had to doodle them as fast as i could TTwTT #pokemon #pokemonwinds #pokemonwaves #fanart 🎐

BREAK!! x Animon Story was so much fun and I am very much hoping to do more crossovers in the future! Check out the free crossover scenario here: www.animonstory.com/downloads

I have been getting a running commentary from my brother about how fucking awful this new booktok fantasy darling is and honestly I think it’s the ideal way to engage. What do you mean there are paragraphs spent on describing inventory management? Actually no, don’t explain it more. I know enough.

Our crossover with Animon Story is now available for download! This adventure features characters from BREAK!!'s Outer World causing a bit of a ruckus in the Dunia region AND rules for converting BREAK!! characters and adversaries into Animon Story ones. breakrpg.blogspot.com/2026/02/brea...

Catch ‘Em All while you can! In commemoration of the 30th anniversary, I’m heistfunding a Poképocalyptic game based on Into the Odd. I call it INTO THE ODDISH! You can pre-order it now (until ???) #ttrpg #pokemon #osr

Oh yeah, this too!! BREAK!! x Animon Story, coming to UKGE 2026!

Doing a TTRPG crossover with BREAK!! has been so much fun. I think there should be more crossovers like this between indies! Check it out and get the free download now 💚💙

Road Warriors: vehicle rules for Eco Mofos The wastelands are littered with the wrecks of planes, trains and automobiles. Punks use jury-rigged, battered vehicles to get around, patched together from all kinds of machines. Compatible with Mark of the Odd games jimmyshelter.itch.io/road-warriors

FFXIV Stormblood SPOILERS/RANT The Nanamo plotline in 4.1 is so atrocious and it drives me crazy that no one talks about how bad it is - especially because it is "wrapping up" the plotline that started with the Bloody Banquet - a moment everyone loves! I've been mad about it for like 3 years man.

Finally announced! I co-designed and co-wrote The Ghost in the Shell Roleplaying Game alongside Alessio Cavatore. It was a real pleasure to write and design for such a beloved world and story. I loved delving deep into the complex characters who occupy this dark world. GitS fans are in for a treat!

Interesting news, @manticgames.bsky.social have just announced they’re releasing a The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop Roleplaying Game this year They’re more known for their wargames and alongside Zak Barouh (Animon) the game is being designed by Alessio Calvatore (Warhammer, Mordheim etc) but…

The UK, where they’ll take away the meds you need to be functional, deny the care you need to feel like life is worth living, remove whatever you need to bring your disabilities from insurmountable to manageable… … and then portray you as lazy if you don’t have a job.

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

So cool that Keir Starmer the Queer Harmer enables the cultural genocide of trans people while at the same cuddling and rewarding one of Epstein’s pets. Anti-trans legislation is entirely based on *imagined* versions of the crimes being committed by the legislators and/or their friends.

Its the only rpg creator I currently support on ko-fi, because its that cool to me, even though I'm technically not the target audience. Lots of cool add-ons that are given out to us supporters, including free adventures, setting info, and rules supplements. ko-fi.com/zakbfree/posts

And you should. Extremely simple, yet meaningful mechanics. I missed all the different 'mon things but my wife and close friends are huge fans since childhood, and it gives me the tools to understand the genre and competently deliver an enjoyable game to them. Definitely a great game for all ages.

Truth is spoken

Your boy has been back in Eorzea lately

Fascists in the UK may be quieter than across the pond at this moment but they want the same thing. Fuck them all.

I'm a Lance main in Monster Hunter (sword & shield 2nd), a Red Mage in FFXIV, and my go-to for fantasy ttrpgs is mage/wizard... Is my ideal character class a battle mage who wields only a shield and magic? Where can I play this?

I am happy to announce we are featured in the latest issue Tabletop Gaming! It even features a cover by @greywizard.bsky.social! I have loved gaming magazines since I was a kid so this is all particularly exciting for me 😁 www.mymagazinesub.co.uk/tabletop-gam...

My resolution for 2026 is to be emboldened by the flame of ambition

We firmly believe in human creativity. Everything we create is 100% human made. We have not and will never use generative AI. Gen AI is a plague and the antithesis of art and creativity. It has no place in tabletop RPGs, games, or any other creative or artistic endeavours. #ttrpg #art

If it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch: I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

www.backerkit.com/c/collection... We're hosting an Orbital Blues month in April! We're working with many cool folx: @plusoneexp.bsky.social @superdillin.bsky.social @unenthuser.bsky.social @theinstagrahame.bsky.social @adamstation.bsky.social Plus The big book from SoulMuppet is a site to behold!

Currently on a roll of 7 RPG sessions in 10 days which is absolutely wild, and a great way to start the year. Vaesen Coriolis Soulbound x2 Dragonbane x2 Doctor Who

I'm very excited about WYRM, because obviously I think the game is cool. But also because, if it goes well, two things happen. 1. I have a game I can keep lovingly throwing support at. 2. I'm confident in this foundation to build other similar games. DUSK remake, SALT, RAID, etc.

Umbrella Girl is getting a turn as the PFP

Is there any particular etiquette or rule about reading through rpg books on stream - see plenty of flicking through physical books online but how about pdfs? Should it be watermarked or anything like that? Does anyone have any guidelines?

Genuinely sometimes ttrpg discourse goes beyond parody of itself.

Editing my work in the text draft: "Oh no, I can't delete this part, it's really good stuff!" Editing my work during layout: "I will delete months worth of writing just to make this sentence fit on one line."

First 2026 session of Soulbound this evening and we wrapped up our undead lesbian wedding encounter. Great to be back.

I day dream of a future where I've actually finished more than one project. Doing mock ups helps me manifest. 🧘💪🕺

First session of Coriolis: The Great Dark this evening and it was an absolute banger. In love with the dark sci-fi vibe of this game!
