The spooky season is here but it still feels like summer, so that means it’s time to get yourself a copy of R’lyehwatch (made by me and @jaymeantrim)! Check out this lovely review and walkthrough by @rudyriot: youtube.com/watch?v=lpqeHHP8…

First draft of some #BX or #OSE style monster stat icons (minus saving throws). I’d love any initial feedback if folks have thoughts!

Are you planning a spooky #BX or #OSE game for Halloween? Want some appropriately thematic monstrous classes? Check out my Wererat, Ghost, and (brand new!) Vampire, all available for free here: itch.io/c/2865667/bx-compati… And keep an eye out for the Scarecrow class, coming soon!

Sure, dark forests and tragic horror are cool and all. But how about a silly retro superhero kids game? If you like bad puns and cute art, check out my entry for the One-Page RPG Jam: Cosmic Ray Kids! Link below!

The best awards in gaming right here!
No hype. No fanfare. Just the awards you didn’t know you were waiting for, that I almost forgot to write up and share! save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/bl… Let me know if you spot any typos: there’s also no spell checking or editing. Reviewing your work is for cowards.

Voting is open for the ENNIES! Trophy is up for Best Game, Best Rules, and Product of the Year, and if you’d consider ranking it #1 in each category, that would mean a lot to me! Also, be sure to give Brindlewood Bay #1 in Best Electronic Book! vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2…

I’m overjoyed to learn that Trophy got nominated for this year’s @ENnies: Best Game, Best Rules, *and* Product of the Year! I’m in shock and so grateful to the judges, @jasoncordova6, @GauntletRPG, and all of my collaborators and supporters for believing in this game! Link below!

“This game has *so* much personality, all it needs is a fake ID to pass as a sentient being.” Another lovely review of @jaymeantrim’s and my game, R’lyehwatch! Thanks so much, Kera! gametalknetwork.com/ttrpg-re…

I really do love my state 💙
I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.

Thanks so much, Hunter and Ryan 😊 So much fun to listen to!
Ep 83 is live! Hunter and Ryan read and review Trophy Dark and Gold from @jesseross. Trophy is a ttrpg of dark forests, doomed treasure-hunters, and a world woven on a loom of rumor, history, and myth, published by @GauntletRPG and @hedgemazepress

Also... not sure what happened with all those hyperlinks, @Weekly_Scroll but I’m going to fix them now!

Anyone out there have any hot tips on #TTRPG cartographers looking for projects? I’ve got a few #maps in need of artists. Specifically, I’m looking for city maps in the vein of these examples. Please share around to your friends!

Thanks so much for getting Trophy Gold to the table, Ram, and for sharing your detailed thoughts on it! Let’s cultivate the Trophy blogosphere!
Some initial thoughts on Trophy Gold (@trophyrpg). I really enjoyed the game, and am still thinking about it now. save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/re…

I’ve really enjoyed working with Jayme on R’lyehwatch, our game of lifeguards vs eldritch horrors. Coming up with details for our cults has been especially fun! If you want a little levity in your cosmic horror, there are only a few days left to back the campaign! Link below!
