I ran Mythic Bastionland for the first time and havenโ€™t been able to stop thinking about it sense. I am so, so excited about the saga of A Court of Salt and Silver

my father-in-law is a โ€œI know a guyโ€ Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because itโ€™s not about โ€œwinningโ€ a deal, itโ€™s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Rule a Ruined World in Ivory Tower Ultrafantasy meets boardroom drama in this semi-cooperative TTRPG.

@riftkidgames the council approves this game release #ivorytower #rpg #dnd #indie #fantasy TikTok video by GeekGabs

Itโ€™s so fun to hear folks I havenโ€™t talked much about Ivory Tower to describe it. When they just get the gameโ€™s core essence without needing me to explain the thing I feel transcendent

Hey @explorersdesign.bsky.social!
I made a lil press kit for a TTRPG I published and was sending it to periodicals I admire. The Exploreurโ€™s on the list, but thereโ€™s no established way to contact on your site that I could find. Figure that may be intentional, but if youโ€™d like the link let me know

Asking questions in the streets, designing these particular sheets #ttrpg #wizard #ttrpgtok TikTok video by riftkidgames

Hey folks! Iโ€™ve asked elsewhere and now Iโ€™m asking here: whatโ€™s your preferred character sheet? What system is it for, and why do you like it? Brainstorming for an Ivory Tower official sheet

Zhukovโ€™s drip and general vibe obviously sprang full force into the gameโ€™s imagery, helped heartily by Mendelsohnโ€™s immaculate look as Director Krennic in Andor and Rogue One

Finished these flows up today! These updated visuals are going inside Ivory Tower real soon to help folks understand how to build and roll the gameโ€™s dice pools and to help walk them through the fallout process

Watched Death of Stalin for the first time since finishing Ivory Tower yesterday and it reminded me of all the elements from it that knowingly (or unknowingly) informed the gameโ€™s design
Always fun to find and revisit media that impacts you creatively
