It's Bandcamp Friday! Anything you buy from your fave indie artist goes 💯 to them today.

I usually just find a digital purchase and throw extra money on that so the artist gets complete profit.

Calling all Solo and Duet TTRPG creators/designers for a charity bundle!

Hey, professional GM and TTRPG copyeditor here - I would for sure be interested 😊

Just wait until you find the OTHER room. And the OTHER OTHER room. And the OTHER OTHER OTHER room. And the OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER room

January A bundle by Chris Bissette, £150.00 for 60 games

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

"Music to dodge meteors to" is the name for my next workout playlist 🤣

Quick warning for Kickstarter users below.

Ahhhh!! So freaking exciting!!
Our lovely game is out in the world now - give it a go to hear me squeaking in a wardrobe for multiple hours 💜

Look at our little game go!! 🥹💜✨️

Create alternate version where you need less dice, but get a result on a huuuuuge table depending on non-dice variables??

Like 4d10, but expands to 100,000 options depending on the numbers to the left or right of each other in physical space??

Less dice, more options

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

important message to all bluesky users

#TTRPG Designers, players, & related nerds:

@ttrpgcataloging.bsky.social is a group of Library & Information Science MA students are working on a research project focused on improving cataloging for TTRPGs — unbelievably important work!

They’re seeking participants for interviews.

Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall.

Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

Sometimes the real monster aren't the scary sounds in the dark... But our Rowbitt crew dealt with it anyway!
