I was pulling some cards in the lobby on Friday.

Drew up a little river city with the 5-yr-old to play @possibleworlds.bsky.social’s “Beak Feather and Bone” together. Will report back tomorrow after we play (it’s bedtime now, so we paused after setup).

A year ago I made a small mapmaking booklet inspired by systems in worldbuilding ttrpgs. I still very much like it! You can check it out here: lizzybutt.itch.io/waymaker 🧭

I did get around a little before the crowd overwhelmed me.

I'm excited for all the new games and gear I get to check out from Pax U!! Some I'll review for @ttrpgkids.com or Gaming the Systems, and some are going to be just for me... And I'm looking forward to them all. Shout-outs to game and gear creators below!!

Oh hell yeah, this sounds so incredibly cool

Made a little vlog style video of my wandering through the PAXU expo hall (my first attempt at this format and style!) looking for solo/GMless/ general TTRPGs to stream with my chat! I hope bsky doesn’t eat the quality but #PAXUnplugged was great this year and I met so many lovely TTRPG creators 💜

Monoculture month is actually bad for the scene

Things to See at PAX Unplugged 2025 PAX Unplugged 2025 is this weekend! Which you probably already know, on account of clicking on this article while you're on your way  there or already in Philly. Alas, I won't be there this time around. I hear tell some other Cannibal Halflings will be there,…

What's on your "must see" list at PAXU this weekend? Here are my recommendations for indie vendors, Unpub playtesting, creator meetups, and other things to check out: omnes.exeunt.press/p/paxu-guide... #boardgames #ttrpg #PAXU #PAXUnplugged

The Thousand Moons approach

We’ve been steadily accumulating Realis art all year and you have no idea how hard it’s been sitting on all of them. Believe me when I say this is going to be a very, VERY pretty book.

🌒🌓🌔Realis! Coming soon!!!🌖🌗🌘

Realis is happening!!!

my guy

Realis is coming sooner than you think! Sign up to be notified at launch when the print edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's TTRPG goes live in 2026, and start bracing yourself for all the additional art, player options, and GM resources being added to the game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

@hauntedtable.bsky.social 🤝 @possibleworlds.bsky.social upcoming solo TTRPGs that involve a little toy in your house

🚨 Brute Fort is live now on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/alf... 💸 Come back the project 📣 Share it around 🗡 Vanquish the evil that lurks in the fort 18 card dungeon delving game by me + tape cassette soundtrack by Gus BC

HINTERLIGHT IS LIVE ON KICKSTARTER BABY! Thanks a million to @plusoneexp.bsky.social and @rrookstudio.bsky.social and special thanks to @feralcharlie.bsky.social for the trailer! ttrpg.link/hinterlight

Both Tacklebox and Better Strangers are now available via IPR for any retailers who want to stock up for the holidays! Both are self-contained TTRPGs in poker-sized, 52-card packages that would make great stocking stuffers.

A tour de force of minimalist design! Absolute marvelous exercise in the power of ellipsis! Also? Just really fun! Cannot recommend this game enough to anyone who wants to see some of the best JRPG designers narrow the genre down to the very core pieces. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Tyler Crumrine of Possible Worlds Games speaks about 'The Details of Our Escape' and how it came to be. Catch the full interview on our YouTube channel! #ttrpg #ttrpgs #gamedesign

tired: i can't believe pax unplugged is next week wired: i can't believe the last convention we're tabling at this year is next week

Adam knows his stuff—so much so that I invited him to be a guest speaker for my TTRPG design class at CMU last semester. Let him do things for you so you're free to do other things!

We're down to the last 10 paperback copies of HOUNDs before it's sold out in print! If you've been eying the game, pick it up now. Judging by previous years, it WILL sell out at PAX next week if any are left by then: store.possibleworldsgames.com/product/houn...

Sometimes I feel weird that I’m not constantly having ideas these days & my self worth is tied to creativity, then I’ll have 3 different projects ship the same day and not acknowledge the creative work it took to make. Anyway I have 3 new releases coming to PaxU, haven’t announced any yet, come see

Tyler Crumrine tells us how Beak, Feather, & Bone can get players invested. Hear the full interview on our YouTube channel, and pick up a physical copy on our website! #ttrpg #ttrpgs

It’s officially out!

Brute Fort launches in a week-ish 🗓 Now with added dice 🎲 Come follow the project if you're not already 💫 www.kickstarter.com/projects/alf...

In a few days!!!

Linking up with the @rangedtouch.bsky.social crew at last year's PAX was great! Let Cameron know about the cool stuff you're working on so he can check it out—they have one of the most inquisitive, supportive audiences out there.

Will edits nearly all of our books these days and is Very Good at it. I've already hired them for at least one 2026 project and so should you!

One of the most political and contested works going right now. A year of us engaging with this complex, weird series of books and figuring out what it’s all about. Subscribe now to Shelved By Genre to come along!

We've never played Apocalypse World on @friends-table.bsky.social, and yet I think it's pretty fair to say that the show (and a big part of my career) relies on its existence. Couldn't be more excited for this new edition. And I already have multiple ideas around how we might play it...

They're here and I love them! Want to get your mits on one? I'll have them at #PaxU!

Here We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Regardless of any "crowdfunding logic," claiming you need less for the scope you want is a disservice to any creative project. Value your art enough to be honest about it, and if circumstances require adjustments, be honest then too in deciding if you could still achieve your goals in light of them.

The people in charge of the platforms that small creators must rely on to survive have very different beliefs on how they should be run.

Come work with me!

 We've opened the search for a full time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Game Arts at Pratt Institute. 

A good match would be an artist, game developer, or educator with an active creative practice in indie games, game studies and theory, playful coding, or art games.

- choujin x is what i wished mha was - tokyo ghoul/re: has a weird relationship w/ transness - this kagurabachi arc is hitting - tower dungeon rules - jjk modulo drools - people are sleeping on bug ego - mujina into the deep is timely but no d5 - chainsaw man & dandadan are still really consistent

unfortunately, i have manga opinions
