Can't make it to your FLGS to play D&D Encounters: Season of Horror? I got you. I'll be running the mini campaign on @startplaying.bsky.social. Hoping to start in July with enough players; register here to secure your spot at the table: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Thrilled to have been a part of this very cool project!

Good news, everyone! This fun solo journaling RPG is coming to Kickstarter with cards for prompts. Plus it's designed by a good friend and I'd love to see this fund quickly when it launches. Had a blast playing through this as a Futurama inspired character bumbling her way through the galaxy.

If you're a fan of Murder She Wrote and Legends & Lattes, I'm running a D&D 5.5 campaign and would love to add another player on @startplaying.bsky.social. The characters are all retirees and they just started their first mystery! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

I truly believe there is nothing Ai can do for you in writing that you cannot learn to do better & more efficiently yourself. What makes writing special is the alchemy that makes the author who they are—it's why diversity in the arts is so important. Ai can't be you and it's the you that's special.

If you're looking to add some Mando & Grogu vibes into your 5.5 D&D, please consider picking up "The Cub" which includes a one-shot, Wayfarer paladin, Wayfarer group patron, and a little sphinx cub. Support my work so I can buy snacks for my own real life child. 💚 bit.ly/TheCubAdvent...

Thinking about checking out @gameconcanada.bsky.social because the ads I keep seeing are working on me. 😅

Grateful to have had almost 19 years with this gentle soul. 💔 🌈

I don’t think I can overstate just how much I love patio season. 🥰

This is exactly my kind of game and I am 100% running this the first opportunity I get!!!

Friendly reminder to all AP producers 💚 YouTube doesn‘t care about the longterm storage. Post your show to the Internet Archive! Heres how! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iachecklist And a quicker version if you only have 30 mins! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iagettingsta...

Very excited about having signed a contract for a new non-fiction TTRPG book! 🥰 📖

Livid that my kid’s school hasn’t addressed this at all and also beyond livid that these hackers have targeted children. 🤬

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Just backed the Magic of Inventorying. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.

It's Kat Tax Day (aka my birthday)! I've effectively been solo parenting since July 2025 while sponsoring my spouse to live in Canada. So if you're in a position to "buy me a coffee", I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, a review on StartPlaying or of any of my works is equally lovely! ko-fi.com/katkruger

Precisely the reason I couldn’t watch the Artemis II launch or landing live with my 7YO who wants to be an astronaut. 😮‍💨

The Artemis missioun doth show that the thinges that are trulye the most astoundinge yn thys worlde, the thinges that will echo on thrugh historye, are not technologye, howevir marvelous, but common human braverye, wondir, and love. These will be the themes when thys storye ys tolde for centuryes.

This might be why all my players adopt almost every NPC they encounter. 😅

"Twelve Realms" is an original, built-from-the-ground up epic fantasy #ttrpg. And it went live on Kickstarter just now! We have an award-winning team, a free preview of the core rules, and a dream! Check it out now! Also, please repost this: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gno...

The only April fools I celebrate. Happy anniversary @christulach.bsky.social!

Love seeing my gelatinous “gummy bear” out in the wild like this!

Forgot to mention the latest Save vs. Cinema is up, in which the Dungeon Masters discuss KPop Demon Hunters from a TTRPG perspective and create some homebrew. save-vs-cinema.captivate.fm

Pro DM tip: Running a seance scene? Upload a spirit board to @dndbeyond.bsky.social maps, use the heart sticker flipped upside down as a planchette, and you have a very fun session ahead.

tell us your favourite … tree: saucer magnolia flower: black parrot tulip season: summer tea: matcha coffee: cappuccino time of day: mid-morning genre: cozy fantasy or gothic horror dessert: cheesecake

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

I don’t get an opportunity to post much about my partner because he works hard behind the scenes, but G and I are watching his interview now and and we’re so proud of all he’s done for D&D play programs. 🥰

I got to write about a secret lycan location for this month's issue of @fantasticalgeographic.com from my POV character, wereraven Macaulay Sterling. Filled with fun articles, there's also an explorer's pack that includes map packs & more! Available now on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/153213...

Sometimes I show up in this space and see people referring to the latest “TTRPG discourse” without context and I just… wish we could have nice things again.

Had quite a bit of fun putting this list together. I don’t have much time to play these days. 😭

I've got a few seats left for a mini campaign of "What You Do in the Shadows," a Vampire the Masquerade Game. This is a rules-lite, role-play heavy game meant to embrace the antics, themes, and world of the similarly named mockumentary movie and TV series. startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

FWIW, we have some cool alternative gaming industry events in Canada! @xpgaminginc.bsky.social has events in Toronto and Halifax in May and June, plus MIGS in late 2026. Also in June is @torontogamesweek.com and Edmonton-based Game Con Canada’s inaugural North American Games Industry Summit.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

This looks like so much fun! I've contributed to Big Bads in the past both as a designer and actual play "agent" and I love this "Be bad, do crimes" take: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hit...

Finished my daily calls (voice mails this morning) begging my reps to not fund the group that could haul me off the street with impunity for "looking Asian". Now to my regular begging people on social media to please make the calls too. It takes 5 mins. Get over your anxiety - people are dying.

A pinned update. I'm Kat Kruger, a narrative game designer and author available for freelance or contract work. Let's connect: linktr.ee/krugerkat Interested in hiring me as a professional game master? Check out my StartPlaying profile in the links.

A tale of two countries: In the USA, spent years trying to navigate the system trying to get my bright kid support & wound up paying out of pocket for OT. In Canada, signed up for community centre programs, mentioned he could get dysregulated in certain situations & immediately got FREE 1:1 support.

2026 is starting off with a bang in the TTRPG sphere. While I don’t have huge news like my amazing peers who deservedly have taken on some great roles, I’ve got a bunch of cool freelance projects in my inbox that I’m incredibly excited about. 🔥
