There are just a few hours of fundraising left for The Conduit a MOTHERSHIP RPG adventure with illustrations by @jettilalewis.bsky.social i’m really excited about this setting full of clone rebellions, cyberpunk bars, and black site labs. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

A huge part of what makes doing a TTRPG project fun for me is just working with other people. I enjoyed coming up with rought written character outlines, but @jettilalewis.bsky.social brought them to life in ways I would never have imagined with her art.

It's been really satisfying brainstorming these sci-fi horror #MOTHERSHIP modules with @streetsurgery.bsky.social. In one, a high stakes time-crunch to catastrophe on a claustrophobic subway, in the other a flight from both new and familiar foes in an abandoned high rise.

I got the original Vast in the Dark Years back, and skipped the expansion… I might need to try this second print run though. It’s a setting I really like.

I’m heading to work at the grocery and there is a Border Patrol helicopter the size of a truck circling my neighborhood. The lady is selling tacos in the park on my walk to work has never made me feel like I live in a warzone. ICE and border patrol have. They are disappearing my neighbors.

The layout and art in Straight Arrows by @raccomputing.bsky.social for MothershipRPG is so great. I’m terrible with words for art, but check it out!

#MothershipMonth2025 teaser pages are going up. I'm really looking forward to "All On Red" by @discodan.bsky.social is an urban district crammed around a metro line with a gambling den atop the community surgical clinic. It's grim, but clever with neat characters. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

The best damn lecture about erotic art is up on itch and I think I'm about to re-buy it.

Only 4 hours left to back A Secret Chord, an adventure module in zine form for the Mothership TTRPG. I'm making maps for this and have gotten a sneak peek at the draft manuscript- the setting is GREAT! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Illustrator Chloe Shields and writer @lucas-walters.bsky.social are in the final hours of funding for "The Brain Forest," a rules lite exploration and relationship building TTRPG. Give it a look:-) www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaz...

Made in collaboration with a bona fide neuroscientist, Gazellig Games is making an adventure full of brain themed settings and fauna. Check out my interview with the writer @lucas-walters.bsky.social here: columbaryttrpg.substack.com/p/lucas-walt...

If you read my interview with Chloe Shields about the Cloud Empress Winter Jam you'll know she's the neuroscientist illustrator behind "The Brain Forest" This rules lite exploration focused TTRPG by @lucas-walters.bsky.social is live on kickstarter now!

We’re excited to be publishing @discodan.bsky.social’s new Leonard Cohen inspired Mothership module A Secret Chord for Zimo. It’s a powder keg of cosmic horror with art by @amandalee.bsky.social, maps by @benkinghi.bsky.social, and layout by @anxietywizard.bsky.social. Now live on BackerKit! #zimo

@satelitesnaturales.bsky.social I don’t understand my Hario MSS-1B is still going but I guess I haven’t dropped it enough times in the past 10+ years (how is the label still legible??). Much respect to your war hario’s years of service and coffee problem enabling.

Not sure she's on bsky, but but if you're interested in another Dutch TTRPG module check out "The Belly" by Chloe Shields, a cloud city district for the Cloud Empress TTRPG. chloeshields.itch.io/the-belly go.bsky.app/ND4KhSS

I don’t yet have a Mothership TTRPG project in need of an awesome 90s rave nostalgia cover, BUT, I have the feeling I will soon…

I'm usually just here for TTRPG stuff, but if you're curious to hear some thoughtful and matter-of-fact discussion about the need for, and value of, erotic art this is an excellent lecture by Celine Loup. Came out years ago, but her words are still true today.

I interviewed @hojesofia.bsky.social, @evlynmoreau.bsky.social, and @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social about collaborating on TTRPG’s. Learn about what makes their work together tick:-) open.substack.com/pub/columbar...

I’m preparing my first month’s update for my #backerkit #mothershiprpg module “Knowedge Asymmetry.” Is there anyone planning a q1 release or fundraising (for say zinequest) who i should check out or consider mentioning in my backer update? Comment or DM me:-)

Is it “New” or is it iteration and extension? Tropes and hacks are still valuable and satisfying to read, play and make.

Today is bloooooood donation day followed up by a meeting with my ttrpg collaborators to talk nerdy about dying in space.

Our project manager just shared some commissioned character art by @amandalee.bsky.social for our forthcoming space pirate anthology "Devil's Due," and it is so exciting to see these new pieces! Check out her portfolio of artwork and consider subscribing to comradery.co/amandalee

I interviewed Allen McClelland in November about his contributions to "Devil's Due," a space pirate Mothership supplement- pre-orders soon on BackerKit! We talked about sharing characters and creative work to a wider audience of other writers and artists. columbaryttrpg.substack.com/p/allen-mccl...

Here's another character teaser from the forthcoming #MothershipRPG supplement "Knowledge Asymmetry" aiming for a full release q2 2025. This is a preview of the corporate fixer- the player crew's contact for blackmarket work and shady gigs. Character art by the inestimable @jettilalewis.bsky.social

Marrow and Expiry Date remain wicked as hell. 1000% worth the price of admission: check them out.

I came here after abandoning Twitter for platforming horrible people while banning and silencing marginalized folks for daring to speak in their own self defense. I will kick Bluesky to the curb like trash and move on in a heartbeat if they repeat this.

Happy Friday the 13th to those who celebrate.

If you are interested in *anything* in #MothershipMonth, these are your final minutes to check it out! This collaborative fundraiser is mere inches from 1 million in funding spread across all the projects… www.backerkit.com/c/collection...

For the night time crowd (or other parts of the globe) there is still miraculously time to back projects like Knowledge Asymmetry and others in Mothership Month on BackerKit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Miraculously funding is STILL running for #MothershipMonth! If you haven’t checked out our bounty and adventure module “Knowledge Asymmetry” with @jettilalewis.bsky.social you still have a LITTLE time left! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I chatted with Sam Seer about his #MothershipRPG “The Iron Coffin.” We talk about managing Kickstarters both large and small as well as best design and layout practices. open.substack.com/pub/columbar...

I just wanted to mention Sam Seer's #MothershipRPG pamphlet "The Iron Coffin." It's funding on Kickstarter and is a great well-designed horror adventure for both new or seasoned GM's and Wardens with art by @emo-sludge.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sev...

If you’re as enthralled by the twisted Prospero’s Dream station as I am, the chance to return to The Choke for a desperate heist will make your palms sweat in anticipation. Only minutes left to back this Mothership RPG module!

I haven’t backed many #MothershipMonth projects, but reserved a digital edition of Dog Eat Dog. The Panic Table’s “Unaccompanied Miners has been a great companion while working on illustrations at the PC. I’m really looking forward to Dog Eat Dog’s forthcoming live play! youtu.be/41mxbom0KLo?...

We're in the final hours of funding for #MothershipMonth! Here's another peek at a crewmember from our #MothershipRPG module Knowledge Asymmetry. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b... The illicit ship upgrade faction is only interested in making folks in power more powerful.

The collaborative #MothershipRPG space pirate anthology "Devil's Due" is approaching it's final 24 hours on BackerKit! Over 20 different ttrpg creators contributed to, and one pledge level comes bundled with a HUGE back catalogue of their adventures and modules! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

We're in the last hours of fundraising for Knowledge Asymmetry! Inside are bounties for spacefaring villains, a shadowy corporate fixer to draw crews in, and ship-lairs to delve all for the #MothershipRPG. VTT maps, criminal dossiers, stickers, and patches! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I sat down with @jettilalewis.bsky.social to talk about her work for our #MothershipRPG module "Knowledge Asymmetry." Learn about getting past the tricky part in a creative project and what makes for a rewarding collaborative experience:-) columbaryttrpg.substack.com/p/an-intervi...

EVERYBODY DIES IN SPACE

Sneak peak of a little character art by @jettilalewis.bsky.social for our upcoming #MothershipRPG in it's final hours of funding on BackerKit. Here's the 2nd-in-command aboard the Class 3 calvage cutter The Haakon Wrecker, decked out in a thermal protective foundry jacket.

I've booked Strega for some commissions next spring on an upcoming TTRPG project! I can't reveal what we are making together yet, but with their art I can guarantee it's going to look and feel excellent. Strega will bring out the best in your project, they are great to work with!

I'm one of the writers and artists on this collaborative Mothership RPG anthology of space pirates and their adventures. This book is absolutely set to be the best version it can be and I'm really excited to see what the team of over 20 TTRPG creators puts together!

I wonder if I can go to CostCo and just order a stack of hotdog paper instead of a hot dog...

Just two days remain to back Knowledge Asymmetry, a collection of villainous crews, their ship-lairs, and bounty missions from a shadowy corporate fixer. @jettilalewis.bsky.social and myself are creating this #MothershipRPG supplement for release next year. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Under 48 hours left in #MothershipMonth. Devil's Due broke its biggest stretch goal: lots more art! This 100-page A4 book will be jam-packed with pirate captains, crews, ships, jobs, adventures, NPCs, and locations for #MothershipRPG! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... #ttrpg #rpg #scifi #horror

I interviewed Joshua’s Justice aka @staticdistance.bsky.social about juggling ttrpg projects and incorporating audio into table top. Come see what excellent projects they are working on:-) open.substack.com/pub/columbar...

I worked with Strega for character and monster art for a Mothership RPG anthology earlier this year. They are fast, responsive and their art- (words fail me) IS REAL GOOD.

I just heard about this crowdfunding project “Dreams on a Pillow” while listening to the inaugural interview of “I am Error,” a podcast from @aftermath.site unpacking misconceptions in games. Check out @nathangrayson.bsky.social’s interview with @ramiismail.com here: aftermath.site/you-are-erro...

I just donated to help push this stealth narrative puzzler about the 1948 Nakba into production. If you’ve got a few bucks help Rasheed Abueideh out as they build their game! www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

What’s this, a free #MothershipRPG adventure loosely inspired by the corporate horror of Shinra’s Midgar in FF7, and written by a collection of seasoned rpg scoundrels?
