Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you. www.explorersdesign.com/ennies-3/

I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience. It's a 4-part series (I know, I know). One article a day. Today's lays out my goals and puts the focus on awards in general. www.explorersdesign.com/ennies-1/

See you there?

Third and final episode of Homecoming! Will Miranda succumb to the same fate as her mother, or is there something far worse — or greater waiting for her on the other side? youtu.be/pcR6THc03LU @possibleworlds.bsky.social @meghanlynnftw.bsky.social

And here’s a fun video I made maybe I should do this for every episode (art by @emo-sludge.com )

Want to hear how much I pay Possible Worlds Games designers (and why I think other TTRPG publishers should pay theirs more too)? Listen to part 2 of my @ultimaterpgpod.bsky.social interview w/ @oneshotrpg.bsky.social & stick around for some CCK worldbuilding after! oneshotpodcast.com/interview-di...

Less than 24 hours remain! Let’s see how far this can go!

I know old Waypoint fans probably know her for her jokes, but Danika is one of the best people I’ve ever worked with, a master at connecting your work to the people who need to see it, and someone who takes the job part of the job seriously even as she brings a lot of joy and humor to the office.

I've worked with PWG before, so you know, grain of salt and all that, but I am hugely excited for these games

I just changed my pledge from the PDF bundle level (because international shipping sucks) to the physical bundle, because the Homecoming cards look so beautiful and I can't imagine not touching them with my flesh hands, even if I have to pay the cost of the bundle over again in shipping and customs.

We are in the last few hours of our Kickstarter! Come support three incredible games! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

The shop just backed PWG Presents: Cosmic Century Knights, Homecoming, and Chuck from @possibleworlds.bsky.social a bit of time left to back it yourself 👇https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crum/cckhcc?ref=thanks-tweet

Played @possibleworlds.bsky.social's Tacklebox this evening, and it was excellent! Super easy setup, the "two people fishing on a boat" premise was really strong, and the prompts were very clever. Highly recommended if you want a 2-player story game!

WE ARE LIVE NOW! twitch.tv/oneshotrpg

Today at 4pm CT join @theneoncaster.bsky.social, @catieosaurus.bsky.social, Andi Licht, & @oneshotrpg.bsky.social for CCK & stick around for Homecoming with James, Cate, & @meghanlynnftw.bsky.social at 7pm CT! It's our big last leg of the TV pledge drive moment streaming at www.twitch.tv/OneShotRPG!

New in the shop for September: playing card-size @possibleworlds.bsky.social titles 💁🏾‍♂️Better Strangers - a solo+ game where players use the people around them as visual story seeds for world building 🎣Tacklebox - an improv-inspired surrealist duet (and the strangest fishing trip you'll ever take)

A few days left in this campaign and it’s been incredible to see the support for these games. We’re working towards a more sustainable industry in both terms of production quality and creator support and every pledge helps us on that path. 3 games! Low price! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Getting ready to go live! Come and join us as we play Homecoming and venture into Braddock House! www.youtube.com/live/rERy_FW...

If you like Patrick's illustrations for our card-based TTRPG Tacklebox, be sure to check out Wild Chorus! It's looking SO cool.

I got to handle this yesterday and it's gorgeous. Beautiful design with extremely sturdy (and useful) components. Definitely a boxed set worth going in for.

Over 110% funded with 500+ backers, preorder any (or all!) of our next 3 TTRPGs by 7pm ET, Friday Sept. 26! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Just played @possibleworlds.bsky.social’s Tacklebox game for a recorded submission to an improv festival as an experimental set. So much fun! Genuinely hope the organisers see the potential for this to be the basis of a fun show idea!

the digital release for Uneasy Lies the Head is coming soon, why not preorder it on backerkit today? uneasy-lies-the-head.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

We're EXTREMELY close to 500 backers. If 7 (or more!) interested parties haven't backed the campaign yet, that'd be a Good Number to use in promo etc. going into the final week!

Y'all this adventure was so much fun and a great contrast to the @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social series of CCK. It really shows the tonal variety in the game and how it hinges on the party playing.

It's a banger day for podcasts! Thanks so much to Nathan & Eppy for shouting out Better Strangers and @ludopolitics.bsky.social's Tacklebox in their TBR piles and larger discussion of "non-instructional" game text! Give the pod a listen at unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/23

This is tonight! Get ready!

Thanks @oneshotrpg.bsky.social for having me on @ultimaterpgpod.bsky.social! If you want to hear about Possible Worlds Games' origins, my past life as a literary manager and dramaturg, or how I teach my TTRPG design course at Carnegie Mellon University, this is easily the most in-depth I've gone!
