We promised Midnight Muscadines would be available on Itchio shortly after release it to Backers, and today is the day! If you picked up an itchio copy back in November during the early beta, this release is a free update for you! pandiongames.itch.io/midnight-mus...
I am sure a "ttrpg with gay cowgirls in space" already exist on itchio. 🤔 If not, someone needs to host a new game jam. 😂
It's Bisexuality Visibility Day, so: HARK, A BISEXUAL 📯
Psst! Hey you. The analogue game creator in the corner. Folklore Jam 2025 starts in a week. It runs through the end of October. Have you joined yet? itch.io/jam/folklore...
I have disabled Chinese (Simplified) reviews on Steam after reading Chinese reviewers complaining that there's too much LGBTQ content in a Life is Strange game. 🤷🏻
The Melsonian Arts Council and Iglootree are teaming up to open a FLGS/bookshop in South London. Yes, THIS Saturday. Come say hi, buy a book, maybe win one of the ludicrously posh games we're offering in the raffle (I goddamn love raffles), play games in our basement. THIS IS REAL!

Molotov College is a game about super-powered misfits pushing back the apocalypse. 🔥 Feels somewhat appropriate for the proposed rapture. 👀 aryl-ether.itch.io/molotov-coll...
People should talk about it like adults, but I keep hearing stories in which they just act passive aggressive in game. 😅 Seems like very toxic social dynamics to me.
I run a lot of TTRPG one-shots for local gamers/strangers. I'm fine GMing any game any time. But the majority of my time and energy goes into scheduling a game, and only a tiny fraction of that goes into prepping one.
Let's talk about the character archetypes in Ex Tenebris! In Ex Ten you choose an Archetype, which is mostly skillset-based, and a Role, which is about your personality and how you fit into the team. I'll come back to Roles in a future post. ⤵️

Join MK, Cory, Annya, and August as we continue Dream Askew by @lackingceremony.bsky.social In the distant wake of the Calamity, four individuals find themselves on a black sandy shore. But there are mysteries waiting for them there, and secrets to uncover. ftlcast.podbean.com/e/episode-10...
I'm always on the lookout for Apocalypse Keys mysteries! Don't know how I missed this one last year, but it looks cool as hell.
i reference Dream Askew / Dream Apart SO frequently when editing, giving design feedback, etc. & it's such a shame how few have played it relative to other indie games. it's such a groundbreaking set of systems & is upstream of basically every narrative TTRPG since it released. you GOTTA know it.
We're only missing 13 adventurers with strong desire to declutter their loot to reach 700 Kickstarter followers! :o #MagicOfInventorying #TTRPG #Kickstarter #MarieKondo
Thanks for sharing! ✨
Schrödinger's Bay is an Apocalypse Keys mystery inspired by Madoka Magica, Silent Hill, and Life is Strange. It also shares some similarities with the plot of LiS:DE by pure coincidence. (I started writing the mystery long before LiS:DE was announced.) 👀 aryl-ether.itch.io/schrodingers...

And since it's Mid-Autumn Festival *soon*, the Mid-Autumn Mice presents.... Hokkien mooncake. It's a flat pastry filled with sweet lotus or red bean filling.
It's an unranked game jam with no prizes.
I just want to share this screenshot of Life is Strange: Double Exposure featuring a 3D printer. 🐢
TACTICS MEMORIAM is a new TTRPG about shaping the Afterlife with your blade playable with just dice, a chessboard, and the rules of our game. Kickstarter for the full book runs through the month of September. The pay-what-you-want Beta is out now!
In October, a new OSR "シンジュク・ダンジョンTRPG（Shinjuku Dungeon TRPG）" will be released from Japan. Explore the underground of Shinjuku in Tokyo, which has become a dungeon. ※In fact, Shinjuku Station's underground area is vast and confusing that it feels like a real dungeon.

The restaurant is Mr Wang Hot Pot.
I've recently visited this hotpot place in Brighton where you pick what you want and the restaurant puts them in the hotpot for you (each person has their own pot). It's a bit different to what I normally expect, but it tasted great. :)

2 more digital backers or 1 physical backer will take the campaign to 75%, then the push to fully funding. So if you're a TTRPG person who likes old school JRPGS and would like to support a solo designer with a big project, I'd appreciate it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...
If you get the book, all the artwork would be printed on it. 😉 I'd say the book is a collection of short prose, poetry and art. It happens to also include rules that let you play it as a game.
There's still time left for Bound by Conviction game jam! Bound by Conviction is a token-based system exploring identity, gender, (super)power and resistance. itch.io/jam/bound-by...
New cover art is by Weird Slime (/@slime_is_weird.rar on Instagram). I did the original artwork for the game, and I would comission more new art if the Kickstarter is successful.

Let me tell you a story; children, gather 'round...
👀👀👀
The Bar At The End Of The World, our upcoming Interlude, features a TTRPG of the same name specially designed for this episode by @byconniechang.bsky.social! 🃏 Inspired by games like For The Queen, May You Fish In Interesting Times, and The Home We Remember, we see grief in the cards — and love.

It has a very interesting structure for 1-2 hours "sessions", with the GM offering roughly 2 obstacles (with complications generating extra obstacles) and then the players get to do their own thing (a bit like down time in other RPGs). We managed to do two "sessions" in the one-shot.
Ran Mouse Guard RPG one-shot last night. The rock paper scissors-style conflict resolution mechanics worked really well and the players had great fun strategizing against the enemies.
Zypher's designer, @araukana.bsky.social, learned illustration by painting the RPG's fantastical world one page spread at a time. They talk about colors, breathing life into a breathing world, and the power of comics.
