I’ve never understood the appeal of Kenny Omega, but this? This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen in wrestling. Huge kudos to Omega, for real.

We are over halfway funded for World Wide Wrestling 2E: Repackaged! So, I'll have more to share from @elkowalczuk.bsky.social soon (and, y'all, there's some hot fire incoming). Until then, here's his take on perhaps the all-time most-played Gimmick, The Monster. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

✍️ I'm working on a piece for the next issue of The Soloist about journaling tips for solo RPGs. What do you find useful when keeping a record of your solo play? Would love to here your ideas and resources. #Soloist #soloRPG

My absolute favorite thing about making games has to be collaborating with artists. There’s something so great about handing an artist a vague description and having them send back something totally incredible. Every time I get a new sketch or an illustration back it puts me in a good mood all day!

Barbarian Sci-fi Game Zine you-know-what-ing next week. Hand drawn. Bespoke 2d6 system. Print and play. Share this post and one or two might fall off the truck early! If you wanna review copy for your blog, pm me. You aren't gonna wanna miss this one!

Travis makes some cool stuff, and now’s as good a time as any to check it out!

I wrote an article about how to manage your art in the event of your death, for tabletop RPG designers. Sharing here as screenshots with alt text. Or, follow the link below: www.reddit.com/r/RPGdesign/...

I’ve read a LOT of crowdfunding threads full of helpful tips, but this is the first I’ve seen that really speaks to the *emotional drain* of running a crowdfund. I’ll be keeping these stress-management tips in mind for the next one!

Folks in the center of the Venn diagram where one circle is "I'm not really big into pro wrestling" and another circle is "But I can see how it would be fun to play with bigger-than-life personalities and over-the-top drama" and the third is "I'm a fan of clever #ttrpg design," let's chat!

My last big project of the year will be reprinting World Wide Wrestling - including, for the first time ever, a hardcover edition! Now, I'll need a lot of help to make this happen, so hitting that "notify on launch" button would be great. And please share! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

I think the main reason you should make lots of little game things here and there (share 'em or not) is so you can develop the capacity to look at your own work and go "This one's good, this is terrible, this one's about middlin' with some neat ideas", and *not feel weird about it.*

5-Star Match, my solo TTRPG about building and booking your own pro wrestling promotion, is finally shipping out to US backers! While I’m very proud of this game, it could not have happened without the help of the following people:

Mutuals and Mutual-adjacents Folks: Does anyone I know have a mostly finished TTRPG they are looking to get across the finish line and into print that otherwise can't make that happen themselves (especially on the print/selling front)? Let me know!

If you are looking for a physical copy of Forgery and you live in the Seattle area (and you don’t want to pay for shipping), Friday Afternoon Tea now has copies available!

Hello again, tabletop RPG designers! The second Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grant is now taking applications! I'm looking to award up to 10 grants at $200 apiece. Applications open until the end of the month. Apply here: bannerless.games/grants

The van is packed and we’re off to Gen Con! This is our first time exhibiting, so please make sure you come by. Booth 2609. We have 25 different games for sale, including Casinopolis, a bunch of Scott Almes simply solos, a bunch of great 2P games, and a Gen Con exclusive version of Cuckoo Shuffle.

It's a longshot, but if I could hit 850 followers before launch tomorrow morning, I'll be the happiest. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

My friend Manny designed this game so I’ve had a few chances to peek in on it at different points. I can honestly say it’s one of the most interesting, cool, unique, and special RPGs I have *ever* seen. It’s the kind of idea I wish I’d come up with. Go check it out on Kickstarter RIGHT NOW!

Whatever your opinion on Hulk Hogan, it's hard to deny that Hulkamania created a lot of wrestling fans. My childish admiration for a larger-than-life hero turned into a lifelong passion and appreciation for wrestling that's given me so much joy over the years. I owe him that acknowledgment at least.

The inevitable follow-up question: If there were such a convention, would people actually attend?

Out of curiosity, has anyone out there heard of a convention *specifically* for solo RPGs?

Here is my fruit: Because of social dynamics, how fun a TTRPG isn't that good of a metric of the quality of a game; you can have fun with the right people and *any* game. A better way to determine a game's quality: How consistently does it honor what it promises?

I think it's crucial to understand what *you* like, and what you want out of TTRPGs. But the critical thing I'd love people to understand is that TTRPGs are about cognitive fit. Your mind is the console for a TTRPG, and there a *many* different minds. What works in yours might not work in mine.

🎈 It's my birthday! 🎈 It would mean the world to have my art shared out to as many new people as possible today 💚 Thank you all for your support and encouragement - it is truly the best gift I could ask for!

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it. If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced. If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking. Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.
