Golgotha by Moss Thing A cursed planet. A heretic’s fate.

I recently set up a new itch page to try out some experiments in making computer games.

I've just put up a horror visual novel about religious exiles on a horrible planet that I made for a games jam, you can download it for free here! moss-thing.itch.io/golgotha

See if I was in charge of 6e I'd keep the 3-20 ability scores but turn them into d20 roll-under stats, just to cause chaos

One of the design elements of 5e I find most awkward to convey to new players is spells known vs spell slots. It doesn't help that the formula for spells known is buried in the text. Goodness knows why those weren't conflated into a single stat

WRETCHED & ALONE by Chris Bissette A bundle by Chris Bissette, Β£30.00 for 6 games

I've reduced the price of the digital version of The Wretched to Β£8, basically permanently, and it's in a bundle with all of my other Wretched & Alone games. This is a great opportunity to ignore all your friends and play games about being stressed and alone

It's natural to be dissatisfied with what you've made for a commission. I've often shared multiple options for commissioners and they chose the one I liked the least. It's their decision to accept, or ask for corrections. All you can do is learn from it - don't give back money if it's not asked for.

A while back I made an experimental tabletop RPG where you're users of a haunted 2000s-era web forum, trying to solve a mystery alongside strangers on the internet, who may or may not be digital ghouls trying to kill you.

It's pretty cool, check it out here: stoneshore.itch.io/forumcrypt

You're one of my favourite artists working in tabletop RPGs, there's so much character in your drawings and they're instantly recognisable.

An announcement graphic set on a light blue and purple watercolour-textured background.

The header reads 'Introducing StoryWeave Productions.' The logo, an inkwell with a needle and thread coming out of it and an ink scribble extending from the tip of the needle, sits between 'Story' and 'Weave.'

Below that is smaller text that reads 'A TTRPG Actual Play channel, committed to showcasing diverse and compelling stories, with accessibility and high quality production at the forefront.'

Surrounding those elements are three circular photos connected by a length of glowing purple thread: headshots of JienBirb (@JienBirb, half-Japanese with short reddish-brown hair and glasses), Kat (@LoreMistress93, white with long deep red hair and glasses), and MasqueWren (@MasqueWren, Caribbean with long braided black hair)

The bottom left is a list of social media handles (StoryWeave on BlueSky, StoryWeaveProductions on Twitch, storyweaveprod@gmail.com).

The bottom right reads 'More Details Soon...'

I think they would exclusively use InDesign, have probability curves memorised, and rigorously playtest all their games aha
