Always lovely to see Hypersteel Nightmare in the wild. Ever wanted a breakdown of how the game works? Listen here:

Look ma! I'm a dark soul!

Meet the team working on DOOMSPIRAL! Starting with the creator @nickspence.bsky.social, a writer and games designer known for their work on Gangs of Titan City, Best Left Buried and Heist Game. (Bonus points if you get the style of these posts & back the KS 😉) www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

COMMANDS FOR GAMERS

When Summer departed the turning of the year, there was weeping. When the Sun went dark, there was agony. Now, among the peoples and nations of men, Are found the FORSAKEN; those wicked beings without fates, severed from destiny, doomed to deathless despair.

As you likely know, supporting crowdfunding projects on day one really does help, so even sharing this project with your friends or saying a nice word on social media gives us the best chance at funding. Without you, we couldn't make projects like this!

Live now on Kickstarter! Doomspiral a #TTRPG of desperate battles in a dying world. This is our love letter to soulslike games, with dramatic fights, labyrinthine exploration and many laughing shopkeeps. Back now before the cruel spiral of entropy consumes all. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

Doomspiral is @nickspence.bsky.social and I's glorious, fervant and feverish loveletter to the gameplay, lore and experience of Dark Souls and Elden Ring. We want to mimick the experience of you cracking open a case for a new game and exploring the incredible setting and gameplay, but in TTRPG form

Doomspiral is our #ttrpg of the ruin, despair, and wonder of a world grown thin with age and suffering. Take back the reigns of Destiny before this crumbling world buries all. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

The hallowed halls of Erzo Aarioch abhor the discord the Forsaken bring, but graciously allow those thus banished to keep their spellbooks. Doomspiral launches soon on Kickstarter, follow now to explore the ruin, despair and wonder of this dying world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

A thousand thank yous to everyone who's supported me in this project! It is honestly kinda wild that 155 people have helped to bring this project to life. With 4 days left, you can still back or adjust your pledge to include the KS exclusive chef hat! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

In the sleeping land of Na’rui, the waking dreams of the smoke-drinking oracles hew close to the threads of fate, and the shapes of the future are said to be glimpsed in their visions. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou... #ttrpg #characterart #DOOMSPIRAL

If 69 is the funny number Is 169 the cuck number? 1 just laying there while the others have fun

Serving Up Disaster is a chaotic comedy #TTRPG about a fiery TV Chef travelling to various failing restaurants, identifying Problems, and working with the Staff to transform the struggling restaurant into a successful business. Get notified on launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

DOOMSPIRAL is a #TTRPG of desperate violence in a wasted land, of gods no better than people and people with the potential to be gods, and of wrestling the future from chains of fate. Get a taste of our labyrinthine love letter to Dark Souls and Elden Ring now soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/doomsp...

A real nice run-over of DOOMSPIRAL, and essentially everything Andy has inferred is what I wanted! Which is very validating. Have a gander if Dark Fantasy with deep exploration Big Boss Fights is your cup of tea! The campaign we're doing with the core book is gonna be something special!

Given it is way too hot and I still have a millionty words to write for Tuesday I'm going to do a "Raff Reads Through It" #ttrpg thread. My target tonight is Doomspiral from @soulmuppet.co.uk Going in fresh. Might go quiet randomly if I have to have an opinion on work stuff. So be patient 🧵

There's no such thing as a job, only a thing you can do. Don't worry about about being a game designer, just design games, and write adventures if you like. Be happy. Capitalist success is a bottomless pit into which you can pour as much blood as you like and it will never fill.

I've started publishing my monthly newsletter to Itch because I can't afford to pay for a proper email service and Substack is... Well. Yeah. Here's this month's edition. loottheroom.itch.io/ltrnews-2

If I did this today... Would folks be interested in watching me paint landscapes? monsters? something else?

🦋 Calpini Kickstarter: only 13 hours remain 🦋 As a guiding thread though the darkness of the world, the unnamed Goddess' silk of divine prophecy has fallen into shadow. Will you brave the stained-glass temple and uncover the gory thruth? https://buff.ly/3X9hxt5

New work! Six months in the making, created by @anicacihla.bsky.social, edited by @aldermancy.bsky.social, and with art direction from @nohr.se: Sin Eater. A solo game about eating the sins of the dead, passed down through the ages. Really fucking proud of this one!

Just about an hour left on zinequest's most purple zine! Thievery! Getting through by the skin of your Teeth! Bitter, bitter rivals! All this and more in A Heist Game! #zinequest #zimo #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...

Oh my Golly Gosh, we've 24 hours left! You can still back A Heist Game, an OSR game of Shameless Larceny and Criminal Acquisitions! Quick, before the City Watch get here! We've almost almost finished our first stretch goal too! #zinequest #zinemonth #zimo #TTRPG www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...

If you like these but want something specific my comms are open ^.^

Ending soon! A Heist Game is a #ZineQuest25 OSR tabletop zine about stealing things and surviving by the skin of your teeth in a pseudo-medieval setting. Filled with ne'er-do-wells, riches galore and dodgy schemes (survival not guaranteed)! www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...

Our Wednesday afternoon OD&D game is on hold for a couple of months so I'm running A Dungeon Game in the slot using my Dungeon23 megadungeon. Here's a play report from today's session. asr.bearblog.dev/a-dungeon-ga... #ttrpg

I meant to do another one of these a lot earlier, but I didn't have the time or energy and now I do so I'm gonna. This is how my otherwise very classically OSR game has no levels. And really, its mostly @loottheroom.bsky.social 's idea, but I took it to the logical extreme.

Oh Ey, time sure does continue passing huh? There's still time to get in on Zinequest's most purple RPG! Shameless larceny! Criminal Acquisition! Steal everything that isn't nailed down, Trust as little as you can afford, and only ever kick 'em while they're down. www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...

I may be stuck in hospital for the next couple of days but unfortunately bills can't be paused so here I am to tell you about my ongoing sale where everything is 50% off. Or you can grab the whole shebang for £125. itch.io/s/147071/f-m...

I heard people like polls and clicking things and voicing their opinions, so I've just posted an update to Blood In The Margins where you can tell me which of my potential cover designs you hate the most. #ttrpg www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

#ZineQuest is a stressful time for us indies. My own game is still a long way off from reaching its funding goal & I'll be honest w/o your help to spread the word I'm not sure if we'll make it. But I'm not the only one! Let's highlight some kickass zines that need loving. Feel free to add your own!

Still looking for solo RPG projects for Zinequest/Zine Month, if you haven't already responded!

A Heist Game is doing good! And I'd like it to keep doing good, so I have instituted a pair of STRETCH GOOOOALS The first is a Table of Strange Sights in the city - and the more we fund, the bigger it gets! Its already at 40 results, can we get it to 120!? www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...
