The site's doing an 'on this day X years ago you posted this' thing lately, and this one seems pretty apt to share as I'm prepping for the end of another long-running campaign. cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2021/07/02/h...

I missed Free RPG Day because... uh, idk, it was a busy weekend. But in the spirit of it I added community copies to all my priced games/supplements on @itch.io. If you REALLY want to spend money for some reason they're also on sale for 50% off for the big summer hoopla. seamus-conneely.itch.io

Crowdfunding Carnival: July, 2026 Come one, come all, to the Crowdfunding Carnival! It might be summertime sadness, but things are a bit quiet here at the carnival. That said, at least one barker has taken the opportunity to put a fresh coat of paint on the old tent. Kickstarter has rolled out a…

To clear up some misinformation, Games on Demand at PAX East and PAX Unplugged requires every GM to use safety tools. We've been doing so for years and we are not the only group to do so. We take GM volunteers regardless of background. We ran 230 game sessions last Unplugged, and 82 last East.

Okay ya'll. It's crunch time. This is $10 for $342 worth of games. Please help BIPOC folks in TTRPGs meet up and connect. This really does help all of us. We can create amazing things if just given the chance. Get the bundle here: itch.io/b/3744/power...

Be Sure

The Jallo farmstead, on the edge of the valley where Jackran's Redemption slumbers fitfully, has gone dark. There is no answer from the farmsteaders. Smoke can be seen rising from the main house. What lies waiting there for our heroes? #ttrpg #starwars #actualplay

Go check this bundle out! It's raising money for DOTS, which improves accessibility in TTRPGS. itch.io/b/3605/indie... My time travel one pager is in here, and it's run by @forthesect.bsky.social who does great work running a subreddit dedicated to feedback on indie rpgs.

My own stuff has very much followed the ashcan/game jam version model for the last little bit, so this is a particularly interesting one for me from @levelonewonk.bsky.social .

They've got that Summer Sale going on @itch.io, so I put all of my stuff on sale as well! 50% off, because why not, I don't give my itch storefront enough love. itch.io/s/193199/sea...

From ashcans to zeroth editions: The new face of TTRPG revision Players from every generation have taken it as a given that RPGs get updated. There are always new ideas to be implemented and tweaks to make, and basically every high profile attempt to make a ‘final’ edition of a popular game ended…

Hey, you! Are you making a neat little ttrpg for a game jam and need a cover? I gotchu. ✨And they're free✨ ko-fi.com/alderdoodle/...

You can find copies of Tales from the Cockpit, my Lost & Found solo TTRPG about a giant robot, its many pilots, and the passage of time on the shelves @sidequestbooks.bsky.social in Somerville MA!

YES PLEASE. Even if it went badly! That can be a valuable learning opportunity, infinitely better than screaming up into the void and only hearing silence in response.

Transit going with US Trade ended up influencing all of my self-published work up to this point because I quite like it on my shelves, but this is a good study of all the different options - listing examples for most of them!

My Cyberpunk RED campaign will be wrapping up soon after 3.5 years. This will mean I'm not running anything. Argh? Also, the GMs stepping up in the RED group are running Wildsea and maybe-Stonetop, and I literally do not remember how I handle being a player in that two-campaign dynamic.

Let's GO! The project is LIVE! #PsiRun2e #ttrpg #PBTA #SuperPowers

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

I already had some @bookshop.org purchases I was planning to make, but now they've got free shipping from today through Friday for Anti-Prime Day - suffice to say I don't have any Father's Day money left, but I do have more books on the way. bookshop.org/shop/sideque...

avery is easily one of the most influential TTRPG designers of this century & everything i have ever made is deeply & irrevocably influenced by her work. it could not possibly be more worth it to pick up some of her games!!

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

Latest read: And Side by Side They Wander by @mollytanzer.bsky.social! A quick and well-written story about a… less than well-planned heist that has a lot to say about love and museums and the authenticity of art.

Safety tools are a key element of TTRPGs for games played with any age, but these tools may need to look different to connect with really young players. Here's how I adjusted safety tools to meet my kid's needs, and I hope it's a good guide for your games as well: https://loom.ly/W9X-F4w

"This whole story is going to end badly. But hey, it's not about the ending, it's about the trip. If you're into mecha stuff and solo TTRPGing - that's one for you." - a review of The Cog That Remains, my Wretched & Alone mecha mechanic game! www.drivethrurpg.com//product/537...

Good chance it's Skies of Arcadia.

I ran, as it turns out, the second-to-last session of my Cyberpunk RED campaign today. I put the solo in the hospital and Soukilled the Netrunner. Also the party may or may not have triggered the collapse of the Night City council and/or a citywide civil war and/or an AI nanoswarm rampage.

Remember The Hobbit is about 15 guys conspiring to murder a billionaire because he stole too much money and then a sixteenth guy who was not even involved shot that billionaire because he just knew it was the right thing to. Class solidarity, you know? There also was a bear.
