There’s always an anonymous hero in the Buy Nothing group who heals the vibes when things get tense and our local one is Butt_faced_miscreant.

sisko is such a good dad

My goodness same! You both were well and truly missed. 💜

It was a really good PAX! I’m thinking a lot about what it means to persist in games from year to year, the waves we’ve managed to ride, and the people who are rooting for us to succeed. I’m excited to make new things in 2026 and be proud of them!

PAX U was a SMASHING success!!

Always a pleasure to share a booth with @turtlebun.com and @gamefiend.bsky.social

Thanks to Philly for an awesome #PAXUnplugged ✨️ shoutout to our fantastic friends/booth-mates at @turtlebun.com and @moreblueberries.bsky.social for the amazing vibes all weekend!

@gamefiend.bsky.social @hanbandit.bsky.social

Yessss! Come try your hand at necromancy in Come From Your Grave #GriotAnthology

Thanks @hanbandit.bsky.social for the feature!

Griot ttrpg anthology cover with illustration: A Black person wearing flowing robes looks over their shoulder. They’re in a forest surrounded by magical looking glowing threads of flowers.

Continuing the *good weird* of indie games at PAX. Come Out From Your Grave delivers Necromancy! It’s one of 7 games in Griot from @thoughtcrimegames.bsky.social, a genre-spanning anthology by Black TTRPG designers & artists. You can find it at booth 3850 alongside Community Radio & others.

This one is great! It's a "cozy doomsday" game.

From our @turtlebun.com friends with us in Booth #3850!

A gift-wrapped bundle with plant and mushroom Kraft paper and a thank you card & notepad tied with twine.

Not a weird one but if you enjoy questionable gift wrapping skills 😆 i have channeled my efforts into wrapping 3-RPG bundles of Questlandia, Noirlandia, and Damn the Man, Save the Music!

Open booklet: Title - Living with the certainty of death by our orbiting artificial planet Public Guest 5.

Dice table on back of book showing daily journaling prompts, usual and unusual.

I wanted to highlight some of the weirder offerings we have at #paxunplugged!

I’ll start with Public Guest 5. It’s our solo TTRPG about living beneath an artificial menacing planet. You roll 2 dice once every real-world day until your world explodes. Until it does, you live your life well.

Thanks so much my friend! 😊

Mud Ghost Estate Redux—A Spooky Tumbling Tower TTRPG A spooky tumbling block tower-based TTRPG inspired by Hong Kong folklore; now with revised text, new artwork and extra content! The cover image depicts two people walking up the stairs of a derelict building, with a mud ghost around the corner standing menacingly. Bottom right of the image shows that the project currently has 93 followers.

Mud Ghost Estate Redux has now got 93 followers on Kickstarter! 👻
Can I get 7 more before the launch? 👉👈

S asked me this morning “if you get bitten by an artist, is that how you get to be an artist?” and honestly it’s as good a reason as any right?!

Random things: shoutouts to @ndpdesign.com for designing a Community Radio cover that stops people in their tracks and literally draws them across the aisle.

Shout out to @aaronradney.bsky.social for cover art on the Griot Anthology that did the same exact thing.

Listen! My sibling who I adore more than anything in the world has made us D20 and homosexual Gameboy earrings to sell at PAX. Their first sale will put them over the moon, so stop by booth 3850 if this is your jam!

If you see me at PAX, you can get a game, but equally as important you can tell me to respect the owl and not let my Duolingo streak break.

Coming soon: Realis A new tabletop roleplaying game by Austin Walker

Realis is coming sooner than you think! Sign up to be notified at launch when the print edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's TTRPG goes live in 2026, and start bracing yourself for all the additional art, player options, and GM resources being added to the game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

My mom sent me this video saying it reminded her of me when I was little. So I made it into a video that we send each other now if we are fighting and need to just call a truce.

Feel free to pass it on and use it. 🩷

Coming soon: Realis A new tabletop roleplaying game by Austin Walker

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!

ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

With PAXU this weekend, I once again come to you with a desperate plea:

Just go to whatever pizza place is nearest to you.
You do not need to go to Cheesesteak Vegas.
You do not need to wait in line outside at Angelos.

Any pizza place will serve you a perfectly serviceable cheesesteak.

I beg you.

Haha thank you Marx, you are the best! Tenacity and regular communication wins the day 😄

Yes and I find that I do get better at it with time, so the curve goes up, but a huge part is continuing to make things and regularly updating the people who want the thing to succeed. 😌
