The Deepest Dark The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less horror TTRPG about being trapped underground.

It's time for a thread about The Deepest Dark, the GM-less zine that @georgiacooked.bsky.social and I are funding for #ZineMonth2026 with layout work from @psychhound.bsky.social and a soundtrack composed by @tincanaudio.co.uk

We need 100 people to get us over the line. Come be one of them! (1/12)

The Deepest Dark The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less horror TTRPG about being trapped underground.

The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less TTRPG inspired by games like The Quiet Year and Ten Candles. In it, you play a group of scientists trapped underground, exploring the cave network they find there and looking for hope in the dark

You can back it as part of Zine Month, we're funding now! #ZiMo26

reading the day's section out to the animals and then listening to the song together has become our bedtime ritual!

despite precautions, i caught covid at the end of december. mild symptoms, but got walloped by insomnia ever since. in the past 4 weeks, the ONLY nights i've gotten a decent sleep are when i read 'this year' before bed. @themountaingoats.bsky.social healing aura over durham real 2 me

Cover of The Devil Jonah's Leviathan

Interior art and introduction for The Devil Jonah's Leviathan.

I'm super proud of this, and my artist @psychhound.bsky.social has knocked the art out of the park. Taking the Gustave Doré art I was first inspired by and turning it into something that feels truly awesome.

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!!

your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there.

if we do $613 in sales before Jan 1 i'll do a trifold print run!

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

How to Design Signals in Books User-friendly definitions, tips, and tricks for tabletop rpg designers.

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers.

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

Let me know what you think!
