December reading. Some of this is re-reading, to be fair. A lot of this job is thumbing through games and then seeing which are the ones I can't stop thinking about

We are crowdfunding our first anthology! Tales from the Cryptids will launch on Backerkit for Zinetopia in February 2026. Follow the project to be the first to know when it goes live: bit.ly/3XVa94n.

My @nyugamecenter.bsky.social Game Design Days event is gonna be so much fun. Just finished outlining the playstorming plan, and we'll be writing TTRPGs that take inspiration from TV and video games (like the delightful @sccreatives.bsky.social game Campanions!) twentysidedstore.com/collections/...

New York friends, @scryptidgames.bsky.social is hosting a TTRPG writing workshop in a few weeks!

It's official! We are partnering with The Feline Rescue Association for The Goodest Girls launch party at Omnihedral in Maryland! FRA will bring adoptable cats and kittens for you to meet, and we are hoping some of these kitties find their person at our event. RSVP: www.facebook.com/events/71985...

Thanks for the boost, @goblinmixtape.bsky.social 🥰! We are really enjoying Pocketopia, and we can't wait to bring @natmesnard.bsky.social's Assemblage into the world!

Thanks, playtesters! It was a joy watching you build your sitcom world, fill it with zany shelter animals living their best lives together, and do stupid human tricks for treats. Miss the Kickstarter for Golden Good Girls? Pre-orders are now open: golden-good-girls.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

In what feels like very serendipitous timing I just got my copy of Against the Gloom by @scryptidgames.bsky.social. Got to play this in a game run by Dustin at a local con. Very creative and collaborative game with a fun music playlist component. Looking forward to trying this one out again soon!

Last chance to back Golden Good Girls on Kickstarter! Earn real treats for tricks, and play as senior shelter animals living their best sitcom-inspired lives at Shady Pines. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Golden Good Girls is live on Kickstarter! If a game that mashes up heartfelt sitcom nostalgia with goofy, snoot-booping hijinx is your kind of BS, this campaign is for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Tune in for Golden Good Girls, a zany TTRPG by @brigittewinter.bsky.social launching on Kickstarter August 13th! Play as the "unadoptable" shelter animals at the local shelter, Shady Pines, and resolve challenges with stupid human tricks to earn real treats. Follow the project: bit.ly/3WeiL4M

Big news! Psychic Trash Detectives, our trashy little game that could, is a Finalist for TWO CRIT Awards for both Best Indie TTRPG and Best Cover Art! Vote for trash: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

LAST DAY to back Against the Gloom, a new dice-based role-playlist-building game by @neversaydustin.bsky.social about music’s furious resistance to despair.

Want to collab? Let’s build a fantasy town floating in the void… I still have two spots open on the Against the Gloom Kickstarter at the level where we create an anchora together based on a song you pick. We have less than 48 hours left! Let’s rock! www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

Just got a review of Against the Gloom from our first group of playtesters engaging with the game without any Scryptid Games folks in the room! We're humbled by the feedback and grateful to @neversaydustin.bsky.social for dreaming up this world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

Our Flag Means Death Metal! Against the Gloom is live on Kickstarter! A fantasy TTRPG about punk pirate troubadours fighting back against The Gloom, one gig at a time. www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...
