The Melsonian Arts Council and Iglootree are teaming up to open a FLGS/bookshop in South London. Yes, THIS Saturday. Come say hi, buy a book, maybe win one of the ludicrously posh games we're offering in the raffle (I goddamn love raffles), play games in our basement. THIS IS REAL!

🔥🔥🔥

Hello. I still can't really type, and the free dication/voice to text options I've tried aren't very good. I'd like to buy Dragon, but it's expensive and I can't afford it. I'm running a 50% sale on itch for two weeks to try and raise the money so I can meet my deadlines. itch.io/s/160480/buy...

'The Imperium's whole ethos is: "Everyone is trying to kill us, we can stop them, but THIS is the only way." Tau Empire comes along, and says, "Sounds like a Skill Issue." The kind of person who secretly agrees with the Fascist worldview haaaaaaaates that.' www.reddit.com/r/Sigmarxism...

Wet Grandpa remains one of my favourite adventure modules. This is heartbreaking. Please help out if you can.

please subscribe to my patreon so I can spend a week animating the dream I just had where a tiger chased me into an airport and collided with an airport tiger and they turned into a combo tiger that oozed around itself like when you watch your laundry at the laundromat

I was on Between Two Cairns to talk about Tannic and we ended up deep diving about rpgs and grounded worlds.

This looks great! If you needed persuading it has this great table.

Full Send is about the beauty of nature, and how we pay dearly to master it. It’s about the way that capitalism degrades the things we love. It’s about the relationship between friendship and competition, and the price of sharing your passion. It has 29 hours left to fund. Help me make it real.

Alright lads, we're going into our final 3 days. Can we hit a stretch goal before 48 hours? Just to remind you, this game is: ⛷️Part tactical sports RPG, part slice of life 🥵extremely sexy looking ♦️played with tarot cards and includes a custom deck www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

Digging out an old game I don't promote much today. The Fiction We Live is a storytelling relationship-crawl for 2-5 players about friendship, shared history, and the small wrongs we do each other over time. loottheroom.itch.io/fiction #ttrpg

I just released my first free art asset pack! Please make a game with these recently extinct animals. That would be so wonderful. Rest in peace little critters. sleepy-badger-games.itch.io/extinct-anim... #animalart #illustration #ink #watercolor #ttrpg #itch.io #artassets #animals #indiettrpg

I can't keep getting away with this... (Frontier Scum in 1 rule for @shutupshow.bsky.social) youtu.be/xDmb_JS3ZL0?...

Working on some illustrations of extinct animals for the "Build a better world" jam by @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social & @jimmyshelter.bsky.social @thelostbaystudio.com @gatheraroundpjcts.bsky.social & @chrisair.itch.io Maybe somebody can come up with a game to use them in. #illustration #ttrpg #ink

One of the best things about editing Wyrd Science is that you might, say, call up Rick Priestley for a 1 line quote & 2 hours later have an unexpected feature you've now got to make space for The 2nd best thing is you get to call up artists like @flopscomics.bsky.social & have them illustrate it

Less than £150 to go til funded 35/150 patches left Get yours today x www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

90’s rock was pretty good, but 90’s hip-hop was better.

🌺A PERFECT WIFE UPDATE🌺 Dear friends: Physical zines will be with you shortly, thanks to @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social ! Hope the adventure speaks to you in strange ways. (Remember: don't say her name in full; less likely you attract her attention, that way.) www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

There's still time left to submit your game for #BoundbyConvictionJam! 👀 itch.io/jam/bound-by...

We hit 3k! Just £325 to go until we can release stretch goals. Don't let yourself miss out. 🤨🤨🤨

Probably my favourite blogpost ever.

We came 5th in the Mythic Bastionland jam! We got 3rd best knight and 2nd best seer too! Go check out our entry #osr murkdice.itch.io/the-circle-k...

Who’s going to be the 3000th backer of Vaults of Vaarn?! Go on. You know you want to www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

I fell hard for Mythic Bastionland this summer. Here's exactly how I prepped and ran it (plus a pile of resources). If you're asking "where do I start?", this is for you: elmc.at/running-myth...

Ok, since I had to turn this blasted computer on, might as well shout it out: Digital release of Not Enough Scoundrels has hit itch! Art by @lurnoise.bsky.social, @carlydraws.bsky.social & Tim Zygor. Dev by @unenthuser.bsky.social. Editing by @phophos.bsky.social. Couldn't've made it w/o y'all, ❤️

It's my birthday, and to celebrate I'm launching the new Blinking Birch Games website! You can use the code OPEN10 for 10% off over the next week. In addition, Blinking Birch has a new logo and newsletter! Here's all of the details about this revamp. 🧵

New RPG Delivery Day! I received my Eco Mofos RPG bundle! Play a group of misfits who have found each other in the wastes and ruins of the fallen world. The past is just a hazy legend, the story scattered over thousands of USB sticks and servers, but the future is there to be written.

instead of a hex map, using a node map like mario brothers video games other examples I should look up?

This week in the bathtub it’s A Perfect Wife! Is this new, modern horror by Zedeck Siew the best module ever written? Or is it impossible to run or to succeed at? Find out idlecartulary.com/2025/08/04/b... #osr

Afterimages of the exhibition of #shrineshare we put up for Temu Pasor / Ipoh International Zine Fest, late July. (Folks who came to visit are still sending us photos) ShrineShare: 16 artists from all over, in a neat little folder, which you can unpack into a complete art show. 1/

It's the season 3 finale of "Between Two Cairns" today. We review "Earth and Wine." If you're a sometimes listener of this podcast, I would say this one is pretty good; maybe check it out. Now we're taking a few weeks off. Thanks for listening, listeners! www.patreon.com/posts/135699...

I worked with Madeleine on Under The Floorboards back in 2020 and it was an absolute delight! Super clear communication and the final art was amazing. Highly recommend getting in touch if you're in the market

We're so close! Please pick this up if you haven't already. Lots of good stuff in here: ECO-MOFOS, FIST Ultra, as well as my own Secret of the Crystal Gate

Zedeck is easily one of my favorite writers in this space and this adventure exceeded my (honestly fairly lofty) expectations. I want to go on and on about why I like it but I feel like I would sell it short, so instead I will just insist you check it out.

i wrote an article about that stupid little question i asked a couple weeks ago, why i asked it, and how the answer to the question can be tremendously beneficial for ttrpg designers possumcreek.medium.com/does-super-m...

Hey! If you know me on bsky, please come follow me insta @twelvepinspress

I've read through the PDF and as a fellow Southeast Asian, I can say that Zedeck has done it again! It's horror, but much more deeper than what it seems to be. I can't wait to run it just as spooky season is coming!

My partner and I have released our first old-school style #ttrpg adventure module, The Knight Errant! It's a 4-page science fantasy Mark of the Odd adventure for 3–5 players, inspired by the weird fiction authors of the early 20th century. Part of the Appendix N Jam. Link below!

We’re at Leeds Kirkgate Market Kitchen today until 4pm - come say hi!

Sometimes the good guys win.

Directive 92A is an hour long ambient soundscape I wrote for my game of the same name that was installed at the Weird Hope Engines exhibition curated by @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social At some point I'll turn it into a zine, too chrisbissette.bandcamp.com/track/direct...
