In our newest Splitting the Deck series, we are doing some SICK FLIPS and COOL TRICKS with Slugblaster! 🩷 Our cast are swapping spell scrolls for skateboards in this one shot, playing Slugblaster by @wilkiescandylab.com . We've also swapped Ellie out for super special guest @shamini.bsky.social 🛹

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's). I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

Be a spell-slinging tattooed wizard in Two-Hand path by @wilkiescandylab.com If you love The Toxic Avenger and old-school #dnd this is the game for you! #solorpg #ttrpg

Submitted a supplement for @wilkiescandylab.com current Slugblaster Jam! It provides Beats that economy-wise function like the general beats "You Earned It" and "Take an L," but allow you to lean into the personality implied by signature devices. billtherad.itch.io/signature-de...

YESSSSS! For people who want a Jet Set Radio ttrpg with more in-depth skateboarding rules (ME!) than Slugblaster offers. This looks incredible @data-sparrow.itch.io!

So @notwritinggames.bsky.social took my yahtzee dungeon crawler (Two-Hand Path), smashed it together with Balatro (?), injected it with that signature cybePUNK magic, and ended up with my most anticipated game of the year. Hack. Rip. Outrun. Draw on cards. www.kickstarter.com/projects/not...

Two-Hand Path Review: Getting a Grip on Luck and Magic "After the locusts and pits and boiling seas. After the war in heaven and feasting on earth. After the seven years of blood and forty years of night. There is magic. Magic and bone. Where streets grow weeds and skyscrapers stand hollow. Where…

The sweeties at @darringtonpress.bsky.social invited me and my co-designer Cass Rea to make something special for the upcoming #Daggerheart expansion. It's part Slugblaster, part Onward, and pairs well with a slurpee and 2009 dreampop. It's called Castle High and I can't wait for you to see it!

Fully funded but still 3 days left to pledge for Under the Table and bring a world of Arthurian gangster fantasy to life! Special thanks to @5gmsofficial.bsky.social and @wilkiescandylab.com for their help and support! #ttrpg #rpgparty #indiedev #kickstarter #crowdfunding #tabletop #noir #fantasy

Our FORTH jam is running for the next 5 or so weeks! It's fun, it's easy, it's for a good cause. Check it out and come make some stuff for Slugblaster! itch.io/jam/wilkies-...

Geeeeez you weren't lying

The brilliant new twinned game project by illustrator/designer Em Acosta. Crescent is about kids who go to the dream world. Then Exile is about them as teenagers in the nightmare world. So rad lol Pre-order here www.myth.works/pages/cresce...

For the last few years I've been working on a cyberpunk rogue-like deckbuilding game. You explore a hostile 'net with your cyberdeck: a deck of playing cards you cut and draw on and use other cards to represent ICE. It's called CARD DRIVES and there's a free demo: notwriting.itch.io/card-drives

What's the funnest thing you've found in a dungeon and what did your group do with it?

All right, it's time to reveal who won the Bannerless Tabletop RPG Grant for September 2025! I got *240* applicants, and paring that down to 10 was rough going. There is truly a wildly diverse, crazy-cool body of work going on ALL around us. Here are 10 of my favorites!

My pal Eli just released his new ttrpg, SWORD OPERA. I'm mad I don't have a game called that first of all. Second of all, the game looks incredible. Duels and dealings in 3 different settings: Renaissance Wuxia 1970s Crime Ring 😍😍😍 mythicgazetteer.itch.io/sword-opera

Man, Slugblasting kicks ass. The ⏩️ story was beautifully told by @andrewwormald.bsky.social @the-sanctorum.bsky.social @ptwiddle.bsky.social and Master of Slugs @thebadspot.bsky.social Thank you for bringing Ken along for the ride. No one pauses fast forward @wilkiescandylab.com

Google docs should play the Doom shotgun cocking sound every time it autosaves

Not needing to hit Ctr+S in google docs is like not needing to reload in Doom in that I hate it in both cases and feel itchy all over.

I will never stop using em dashes

Tomorrow we're posting the FINAL EPISODE of our Slugblaster series! It's an end-of-season talkback with Slugblaster designer @wilkiescandylab.com We discuss his thoughts on our season, the wild moves we made, creating a gerbil god, and the Saturday morning cartoon that inspired Slugblaster

I started to understand when @wilkiescandylab.com told me young ghosts are wet, but old ghosts are dry.

KASSANDRA KING: DEVIL'S DICE is live on Kickstarter! A single-player neon noir occult TTRPG. You are Kassandra King. You solve cold cases, explore the supernatural underground, and you are about to make a deal with the devil. Back the game to see the prototype! www.kickstarter.com/projects/not...

Tomorrow is the season finale of our Slugblaster series! It's been a wild ride and I can't wait for you to hear how it ends! First, I want to give a HUGE thank you to @mythworks.bsky.social for sponsoring this season and for continuing to be an amazing champion actual play. 🧵 (1/5)

I've released a one-shot for Slugblaster by @wilkiescandylab.com over on itch. Contains scenario and characters. Also on my RPG resources page on the site. Heavily influenced by the excellent @burnafterrunning.bsky.social. giantbrain.co.uk/rpg-resources/ thegiantbrain.itch.io/mega-mallrats

whoa, uh, permission to be honored on main?

Get in L0ZRS, we’re going SLUGBLASTING!!! From our home table to the stages of #sdcc, we’re bringing #slugblaster to you. Watch these 5 adorable dumbasses get in way over their head while trying to sesh the multiverse. @mythworks.bsky.social @wilkiescandylab.com

If you're interested in Restore the Warp, my game about the conflict between interstellar invaders and a wounded space god, you can find it here: billtherad.itch.io/restore-the-...

is it anti-canon or was I just too tired to make a decision

what a nerd

Only a few days left!

Today is the Second Annual #PaidRPGDay! As Gem Friend @kenlowery.bsky.social says, they're as free to buy as they are to make! What a wonderful day to support indie rpg makers by giving them money to support for their beautiful, creative labor.

Following another Free RPG Day, I'm proud to kick off the second annual #PaidRPGDay! Today, I'm offering my games at a price you can pay to have them! Take a look and consider supporting your favorite indie publisher today, whoever they may be. Shop (with money) now: bannerlessgames.itch.io

LOLOLOL This Saturday morning cartoon Slugblaster theme by @beholdyourfate.bsky.social. He's making an entire cassette tape of tracks for Slime, Warp, & Solder. (Only 17 hours left!) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Final 24 hours!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... We're going to print a lot of books so you'll be able to get those post-campaign BUT if you want the fun merch you should back now because supplies of that stuff may be more limited.

Also, still very much figuring patreon out but having a lot of fun doing it. I'm trying these "museum" posts where I dig something interesting (and hopefully informative?) out of my old project folders. Here's a recent (and free) one about the sb character art. www.patreon.com/posts/slugbl...

One week left on the Slugblaster: Slime, Warp, & Solder crowdfund. Thanks for the nonstop hype, gang. Here, a screenshot I took during my favorite design stage— setting up the document while I copy-paste stuff and squint my eyes to imagine what the book will look like.

I'm on today's episode of Third-Floor Wars. Craig is such a good host, and whenever I talk with him I end up getting pretty real, often about stuff I don't have answers to yet. For example, completely unformed thoughts about how (if?) Two-Cakes theory applies to designers of popular games. 1/

I love that.

Quantum Kickflip is charming, expertly-produced, stunningly scored, and its new season playtests stuff from the upcoming #slugblaster expansion. BUT It also demonstrates a fascinating TTRPG phenomenon that I'm only just beginning to understand. 1/

we can watch the clouds anytime we want and its free

On the far end of the multiverse, five Slugblasters try to make it home before dinnertime.. Tune in tomorrow for the latest episode of SLUGBLASTER!! @mythworks.bsky.social @wilkiescandylab.com

Before pic, after pic. She seemed so nice back in 2023 😅
