Oppai Sluggerz: The Apocalypse Never Looked So Good A TTRPG about being a bloody magical girl during the zombie/martian apocalypse. Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry (style mechanics.)

there's 24 hours left to go on my #zimo #zinequest project oppai Sluggerz, an over the top, insane tabletop RPG. It still needs 40% and if you've believed in my games before, believe in this one! Tell your friends who might like it! We can do it!

The other day, I had aquavit at a Swedish restaurant in Tokyo, and it was absolutely amazing. It’s a shame it’s not easy to find in Japan. I need to visit Sweden.

I picked up “Grotten: 1-Bit Deeper”.
You explore the dungeon as you place tiles, encountering monsters, NPCs, structures and BOSS. It’s simple and easy to grasp, and placing the tiles on the table is really exciting.

We’re working on some sick typography for the Japanese edition of MÖRK BORG. Almost there.

I’ve been looking for a chance to buy this wonderful series about the history of Swedish TTRPGs. And with the slipcase, of course.

I got a small zine about folklore—witches, potions, forest legends, and amulets. It’s really great. It gives me ideas for a Liminal RPG case.

I’ve been playing Drakar och Demoner (Dragonbane) on Alchemy RPG lately, and it’s been great. I’ve become a fan of Alchemy.

The English version of "Shinjuku Crawler" has been released!
It’s an AI translation, so it’s not flawless, but it seems fine to play.

This is a TTRPG where you explore a dungeon that appeared beneath Shinjuku in Tokyo. New OSR from Japan. Go check it out.

"Japanese characters tend to have more curves, which often gives them a softer impression. ... We wanted something with the aggression of a spiked flail."

And that's exactly what we got.
