uuu, original New Hope
New terrain video is live! youtu.be/hqXpHXvAmeQ #dnd #ttrpg #heroquest #warhammer #pathfinder etc.
I've had people cancel last minute so many times before And even if the others show up, it becomes a "let's pick a boardgame instead" night, which is... fine but if I had a set of boxed adventures, and just pick one from the shelf and set it in 5min... man
Did some playtesting with my solo/random dungeon tiles, cards, and tokens again tonight… …and this time the party survived to tell the tale... YAY! (this was a game of #advancedheroquest - but the idea is that they can be used for any system) #sologaming #ttrpg #boardgames #dnd
this tileset is the staple for a DM's travel kit
I've got a new video out… and in this one I've been making some dungeon generation cards (and tokens) that can be used with my existing floor tiles to help create layouts for solo dungeon crawling :) youtu.be/tk_OvEPH3vQ The pdf is pay-what-you-want (so grab 'em for free if you like) #dnd #ttrpg
how is it that when I'm claiming a Kickstarter PDF reward directly through Kickstarter, I have to pay VAT on top of my pledge but if I claim a PDF reward through an itch key, I don't have to pay anything more? I'm not good with understanding taxes
GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.
Once I'm happy with it this will probably be an update to chaoclypse.itch.io/noise-dystop... which is also free/PWYW
Finally discovered the perfect writing/working music. Obsessed with this arrangement! youtu.be/PeBkXhfchb0?...
Now LIVE on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon... Asher's Ridge is a GM-less, zero-prep #TTRPG for one to four players, inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Stranger Things. Connect threads of letter tiles and experience the unexplainable in the (dark?) heart of the Lake District.

The Cassette Jam is far from done! 117 people joined, with 7 entries in so far. Joined, but you think you're short on time? You’ve still got a month left! Worry about scope prevents you from joining? Any small entry counts - even just a stylized J-card is great! Let's see that creative side A➿
Here are the behavior charts, all together. As you can see, the hunter's cooking instinct has been diminished; For the lighter and stoker, all steps are diminished except the fire shot/cooking, respectively accentuated. All 3 domesticated breeds are now fed by humans, instead of feeding themselves.

Amen to everything Dan said. Especially how great — and funny — he was on Reservation Dogs. Related: all of Reservation Dogs — one of the very best shows of the last decade — is currently streaming on Hulu.

The Quiet Year: a deck of cards, a blank piece of paper, a few pebbles Honey Heist: one page rules, one d6s, good fun and I really recommend any pamphlet games, like those in the Firelights jam a double-sided pamphlet, a deck of cards, and that's all you need

Hi bluesky. It's prototype Sunday. Today I'm working on a mancala card game about the origin story of an AI god. You control the ai and her creator. Creator uses the mancala action board, the ai uses a deck of emotions. The player is reliving her memories. Prototype is the prologue.
this looks so intriguing
It costs $0.00 to support a comics artist and writer!
Well I got inspired! Starting on the 1st October is the Duo Duet #TTRPG game jam! Pick a partner and make a duet game! Bonus points if you've never worked together before! itch.io/jam/duo-duet...
it is still a game, and you have done a lot of work (haven't seen it yet, but I already know it) so well DONE
I’m releasing a game tomorrow 🥹
wait, is Abel a feminine name? when I can't decide on a name I usually use a type of wood or herbs, so Ash is a solid pick
Are we talking something with a) camping vibes, or b) easy gameplay? For b) - 'Dread', if you can find the space for a non-descript-wooden-block-tower-game in your backpack - 'Wanna play right now?' by Domergue is very fast; it's like 10 encounters, and you rock-paper-scissor for checks
Well done!

The reissue of this is atrocious. No idea why they’d “remaster” it this way, so had to snag a bootleg. This will work until the day I hopefully stumble upon an OG cassette (likely in my dreams). youtube.com/playlist?lis...

1. Layer a see-through plastic film over it, 2. Spray paint it with chalk paint, 3. Erase areas as needed (chalk paint can be removed with water) you can still lift the plastic to see where they're going, but on their end there'll be an actual fog of war

I've been begging for over a week and still only got enough to cover my phone bill, and that was day 1. My $270 goal is still at zero. I don't have anything past that for rent even. Please help.
Hello Bluesky! Let's start off with my Five Senses Series, where each sense is represented by a member of a fantasy species. In order, here we have Smell (orc), Sight (dwarf), Hearing (elf), Taste (gnome)...

I think there's a great conversation to be had here, but as someone who's played part-time in both pools, there are some clear present (but not concrete!) truths:
it took a week, but I made a comic interpretation of one of the best moments in the @malevolent.ca podcast, my personal favourite, from episode 40. Dialogue is taken from the #malevolent episode itself. #artpost Spoilers:

Some playtesting with the latest prototype! There’s some interesting stuff happening. Scores are more where I want them to be (not cresting 100) and the puzzle element is working very well. Might have over-corrected a bit on some of the balancing. Got some interesting ideas on how to further refine!
this looks gorgeous
My screen-printed playmat from @printinkling.bsky.social was delivered! It came out so crisp and lines up with my cards perfectly? I’m ecstatic, thanks so much! 🩵
The Knight Errant ranked 1st out of 227 entries in the Appendix N Jam 😭 This feels surreal! Huge thanks to @dankdungeons.bsky.social & @jorphdan.bsky.social for hosting the jam, and to everyone who rated my first OSR adventure! And congratulations to all the amazing participants and their works!
I have academic training in economics, but this is something I think only an expert in the field can explain and I really want to know: What happens when a country starts lying about their economy, to make numbers up like the USA is doing now? Which are the short and long term consequences?

After so many years of professional struggle- project cancelations and hijacks, funding issues, demo limbos, layoffs, egos... I decided to keep at it on my own. Do what I do best. Two years later, my first solo is ready to see the world. It feels surreal. And you know what? It is pretty good.
you had me at CYOA
In the Light of a Setting Sun is a rules-lite game of bigger-than-life cowpokes on an unforgiving frontier. It it, you can play as cowherds on a long cattle drive, gunslingers solving problems in dusty border towns, or no-good outlaws on the run from a bloodthirsty sheriff. (1/?)
