Possible Worlds Games

In my 15 years as a full-time creative (theatre & games) 2025 has easily been the wildest. Once I'm caught up on other tasks, I'd really like to write my way through it. What's the easiest place for blogging these days, & would people be interested in a month-by-month reflection on a year in TTRPGs?

At this moment, we have 2430 paid subscribers. Can we get 2500 by the end of 2025? You can subscribe right now for only $1, and support independent tabletop games journalism.

Today puts us at 450 packages mailed this week, ~50% of our post-Quinns Quest orders! Keep em coming—they’re SUPER helpful, especially as I prep for surgery next week—but reminder that I’m a one-man show & pack each game. If your order is time-sensitive, just let me know & I’ll bump it up the queue!

For those of you who didn't see it in our convention preview binder this year, @sifsweetman.bsky.social's Ephemeralist class for @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis! Learn more & sign-up for notifications at www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru..., and brace yourself for PLENTY more Si in the full book.

The Blue-Sky Optimism of Skies of Arcadia A view towards the horizon is baked into the very foundations of Skies of Arcadia, with architecture that draws the eye towards azure skies.

Our first Archetypes article is by game designer Gareth Damian Martin, examining how the architecture of Skies of Arcadia draws the player's gaze towards azure skies.

I've got all the deluxe hardcover editions if you ever want to borrow them.

Chatting with Gabriel & Le of @weirdplace.bsky.social was one of my last conversations at PAX this year, but also one of my favorites! They're a super smart and engaging duo, and definitely designers whose careers I'm excited to see blossom in the years to come. Check out their great recap of PAXU!

A zine with big sexy gothic lettering reading "We Shall Be Monsters" by Seb Pines, with a black cover and white lettering. The image on the cover is a faint and ghoulish negative of a wood cut or etching or a body on an operating table. The book is placed on a recycled cyan paper giving an almost hair look. In the background are a sharp implement, tweezers, and dried flowers. The book sits on top of a folded piece of lace, with a needle and sutures on top of it.

never be alone again. @smolghost.bsky.social's pax unplugged shadow drop is available now! WE SHALL BE MONSTERS.

thankfully one of my resolutions for 2026 is to never have 4+ things on the same day

I love it but it would be unfair to our cats to hang something this erotic/enticing in the living room

oh wow I love this a LOT. It's so big! How was the paper quality as far as like, hang-holes not tearing or pens bleeding through

oh wow, September especially is gorgeous—even as a non-gardener

This RULES. I need more room for writing deadlines and appointments on the calendar days themselves, but just bookmarked it to go down the previous years rabbit hole later

i come before you once again hat in hand asking for your favorite hanging calendar recommendations

Books popped up in the US warehouse so that means that AGOS by @decassette.bsky.social is now very out 🌎WIDE GLOBALLY! All those pre-orders are being packed and shipped throughout the week. and COOL BOOKSTORES that stock peow2 will have copies very soon as well. tysm for waiting

YouTube video by Loren makes videos I Played Better Strangers Solo: A Card Journalling Game

Today I used this game as a prompt to generate some ideas for potential conflict in my novel.

Since I'm nearing the end of my first draft, I had to revisit some scenes and these cards were super useful for showing a different perspective!
