It's the final 24 hours of our Kickstarter! We're already fully funded, now it's just a matter of seeing how far we can climb! What a wild ride it has been over the last year! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal... #projectswelove #kickstarter #weirdwest #ttrpg #dnd

This was hands down my favorite one-shot I’ve ever played in! Run by the brilliant @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social - his Kickstarter is ✨ fully funded ✨ but has some amazing stretch goals, you definitely don't want to sleep on this! www.youtube.com/live/wNGn2i9...

Our Kickstarter has fully funded! Now, onward to stretch goals! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

Today's Kickstarter update contains an example of play for Before the Bog God, along with a shout-out to the amazing folks at @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social. If you haven't seen it already, be sure to check out the Tales from Elsewhere: Clockworld Kickstarter!

We're going LIVE on YouTube with a session of my game at 3pm PST today! Come on by, say hi, and check out some weird west action-horror tabletop gamin'! @eldergoblingames.bsky.social @mistysteps93.bsky.social @thebonewizard.bsky.social @thomascodyfitch.bsky.social youtube.com/live/dPHVcuT...

www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal... Monsters are more than just a block of numbers; they're a story. In TFE: Clockworld, the rulebook provides robust guidance for not only how to use a monster in a fight, but how to build a story for them. This is key for folklore-based horror!

The VV team had an amazing time at #GenCon2025 and a big thank you to all the amazing people we chatted with on and off camera, we made so many new friends and we can't wait for next year! @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social @thepocketdragonpub.bsky.social Share your stories 👇 youtu.be/zWm1IvHNzS4?...

We are literally **one** sale away from The Inquisitor - a 2/3 caster class for #dnd5e - reaching Bronze Medal! Bring justice to evil doers using your divine Judgement, a highly versatile buff tailored to each foe you face. #ttrpg #indiedev www.dmsguild.com/product/3663...

Interested in a new Weird West TTRPG? After years of work, the sign-up page for our Kickstarter campaign is now live! We start funding September 2025! #indiedev #rpg #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

A common recommendation to new designers is to "READ MORE RPGS!" But which ones? I give my 5 recommendations in this week's video. Do y'all have good reqs for those just starting their design journey? youtu.be/R8kXQDc0N8Y

Haven't posted in a while, but today's video is on the fascinating game of ICRPG! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1_Z...

It's time for another open #indiedev #ttrpg collaboration! Last time, we talked Barbarians. This time, we're talking Death and Failure mechanics! Check out the video for details 🤠 youtu.be/vAUXypFFBYg

youtu.be/mTI-XVoyMEo I got a chance to participate in "Dragon Week"! Had a lot of fun talking about horror, dragons and...the industrial revolution.

Today's video is a casual exploration of NAMES in TTRPGs; not for characters or world building, but for classes, abilities, and features! youtu.be/3kpqG5sP38g

Today's video is an exploration of Magic the Gathering and what we can learn from it when designing #indiegames #ttrpgs youtu.be/B-q7WnUAXNE

Going LIVE on YouTube at 2pm PST (about 10 minutes from this post) for a 3k subscriber celebration! I'll be doing an AMA, reviewing community RPGs, and maybe some unhinged movie rants, if there's time! youtube.com/live/PkTlTmZ...

We hit 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is a huge milestone for our small, niche #ttrpg #indiedev community. To celebrate, I'll be doing a live stream on YT this Friday at 2pm PST. Vote in the poll below to help decide what's covered in the live stream! youtube.com/post/Ugkx85N...

The second half of the #GetBarbaric live stream starts in about 20 minutes! Come hang out and let's look at more awesome Barbarian designs from the community! www.youtube.com/live/n0OHLlK...

In this week's video, I make some bold claims about what makes a game "tactical"! youtu.be/vq8g8AI-AEg

I had the immense pleasure of chatting with @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social for this week's Creative Spark, and we chatted about game design, D&D, and being past the age of 30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXgv...

I'm not a paid sponsor, but a local game designer has put their game on Kickstarter! Just tryin' to spread the word for them. Indie game devs stronger together! 💪 www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaz...

Are you working on a wound or injury system in your TTRPG? Today's video may be helpful for you! youtu.be/tZvAbdANdac

This week's video is about playtesting best practices; I hope it's useful for the #indiedev crowd out there, regardless of whether you're working on #d&d or any other #ttrpg! youtu.be/Z0eY9z5HOLc

It's time to rip and tear! Here we find the Space Hunter being surrounded by a swarm of viciously hungry creatures about claw them to pieces. The Space Hunter slices through them and attacks with their beam cannon. @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social #EZD6 #Zeleryn #GetBarbaric

A new Quantum Ogre Cast just hit the dungeon! This one has @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social in it! #ttrpg #dnd youtu.be/XviWFeg42ws?...

Put together a small combat design video for this week. A problem I find with a lot of #d&d combat is pacing, so here's how I tackle it. youtu.be/-QWdw0BHfnA?...

We just posted a new POLL on our Patreon Page for all members (free + paid)! Help us decide which new sketch to commission from one of our talented artists! www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

This week’s video is a meaty one, talking about GM Facing vs. Player Facing rules structures. It’s a subject I get into arguments over in Reddit and in YouTube comments, so I wanted to break down my perspectives and definitions! Hope y'all find it interesting! youtu.be/0sOzrL_KnOM

This week, I take a fun dive into the history of #lancer and its TTRPG designs. There are lessons to learned from this wonderful game! #ttrpg #indiedev #dnd youtu.be/7W3dpx21ph8

Streaming a LIVE playtest session with Avenue Studios and some #ttrpg content creators! 6pm PST tonight at the below link! If you come 'round, you can donate to the Avenue Studios channel to influence the session, adding more horror for the players to survive! www.youtube.com/live/UnUxYt1...

This week's video is about #ttrpg design philosophy as it relates to guiding your readers to play the game in a certain way. I use some features in #dnd as examples, as well as #BitD! It's a meaty subject, and am curious about other #indiedev perspectives! 🤠 youtu.be/O0URekboWzs

What would an ability called "Hair of the Dog" do in your #ttrpg? Sound off, #indiedev folks! 🤠

Just sharing a little preview of some new artwork for the Clockworld setting of TFE! The full image is available on our Patreon for all members, paid or otherwise.

Did you learn how to play TTRPGs? Were you taught by someone else, learned from YouTube, or did you just read the book with little previous exposure? This week's video is about Culture of Play, and how that shapes our TTRPG experiences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Lc...

Are you an indie TTRPG dev working on your own game? Are you a passionate hobbyist or content creator wanting to get the word out on your project? Well show us your BARBARIANS and tag ‘em with #GetBarbaric in this just-for-fun design challenge! #indiedev #ttrpg #dnd #gamedev youtu.be/hm_R51kZpI4

How many #ttrpgs is too many? #ttrpg #dnd #folkdnd

2024 was an awesome year, and can't wait to do more in 2025! What are your game design goals for 2025, y'all? #gamedesign #ttrpg #indiedev youtu.be/vG_suvqEM9M?...

This week, we have another fun piece of commissioned music for the weird west setting, Clockworld! youtu.be/jTHZDvo-ul8

It’s here! One of the rare D&D-specific videos I’ll make! I’ve made an “Advanced Barbarian” thought experiment - taking the D&D 2024 Barbarian and adding a lot of depth and complexity to their moment-to-moment gameplay loop. It was a lot of fun to put together! youtu.be/01uRRaGIe-Q

One of the greatest pleasures of working on a ttrpg is getting to collaborate with artists and all sorts. I met Pierce Martin at a gamedev meetup earlier this year, and we immediately hit it off. He's an extremely talented composer, and he created this amazing track for us! youtu.be/_GpfGHBLXF8

Getting ready to run another playtest of a short, 2-hour session with my Discord server. Where do y'all farm for playtesters that aren't just your friends? #ttrpg #gamedev #indiegames

In this week's video, we discuss arithmetic complexity in TTRPGs! A subject not often brought up, but vital for making games that hit the right notes. youtu.be/bbl9O_jCO4g?...

Work-in-progress backstory page. The full game has almost 50 professions, cultures, and inciting incidents to pick from!

Hard at work on the next playtest packet, which provides a slice of character creation! #ttrpg #gamedev #weirdwest

Had @ttrpgenius.bsky.social and DM Dungeon Mastery on my channel for a run collab! I challenged them to convert the Blood Oiler, a monster from my game, into D&D 5e. Was a super fun evening talkin' shop with them! youtu.be/cevvZSvT7KI?...

A huge thing that you can do right now to support any TTRPG creator on this platform for free: Go to their profile right now, find the latest piece of actual work that they've posted (not their advice, not a joke, not a take, but their actual creative work) and repost it.
