For those at GenCon, especially ENNIES nominees: the winner of each category is mainly an indication of market share and vote campaigns, not actual quality. If you were nominated, THAT is the real recognition that what you made is amazing and awesome. You’ve already won.

Attention #TTRPG community: If you found an indie game or supplement you like, take a moment to tell the creator on social media. Unlike big companies, indie devs WILL notice and often greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Sometimes it's the only way we know anyone likes our stuff!

Playing horror stories during the American Great Depression? Sounds like a great idea to prep for the next one coming up :)

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:

For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.

Menagerie of Unbearable Things is now live on Kickstarter! A system neutral bestiary of tragedy full of art and misery where love is the worst monster of all.

Help me fund this horrible book!

This one is online, that's why I was mentioning it. But the time difference might still be a bit of an issue.

We will organize an online Minicon in August, don't you want to join, maybe run something :) ?

Some real(?) talk about providing VTT support as a publisher. (Real talk... virtual tabletop... there's a joke in there somewhere. I'm not finding it. Onward.)

I'm the guy who makes the Roll20 character sheets at Evil Hat. Because I'm a company founder, I don't need to charge the company for it.

I can give it a try then ;)

Passing By, Travel guide - Property of the United Lands Railway Company, Playtest copy - May 30 2025

I've just finished the playtest copy of Passing By, solo journaling/exploration game about riding trains and love letter to Spirited Away.
If you feel like playtesting it, hit me with a DM/comment, I'll send you a PDF and a train ticket!

How long is a run? I would love to, but my playing time might be a bit limited in June.

Liminal Horror Library A library of resources for your Liminal Horror ttrpg games

Wow, we've hit over 250 Liminal Horror items cataloged in the Liminal Horror Library!!!

It's always amazing to see the community grow!

At the same time, I would like to say it's one of the worse consequences of AI to push us to doubt of every new artwork. We didn't do this before. If it's entirely human-made, I'm really sorry for the shit show the artist is going to face TT

Now, I can't judge if it's AI or not, but this kind of problem with perspective is typically the issues you have with prompt-generated images.

Is it just me or, on the left size of the character the tongs seem to be on the back of the floor wood panel, while on the right side they seem to be on the front part, just in front of a pillar?!

We have a week left in the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition backerkit campaign!

We just crested $105k which puts the next set of stretch goals in reach!

At $120k we’ll be unlocking a pdf of "Einfühlung", a new Haunted House Starter Adventure!
