Sam Armstrong is 4 Goblins in a Tuxedo

And to properly tag the creators:

Reanimated is by @trappedchest.bsky.social
Slasher is by @samarmstronggames.bsky.social
The Haunting of Cliff Cove is by @rrookstudio.bsky.social
Spectral Exterminators is by @dankdungeons.bsky.social

The last two were sent to me by @plusoneexp.bsky.social

I recognise that game! Thank you for the kind words and for putting Slasher alongside such awesome games!

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?

The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.

Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

Happy to help! And yeah, one of the nicest box covers in my collection, honestly

Definitely recommend it! Really clever twist on the "No Thanks" style of auction. I could talk about it for far longer than the length of a bluesky post!

Only mention it because at no point in that game does a decision you make "feel good," but it's really satisfying

Have you played Empire's End? That's a game where you all start with an identical kingdom worth lots of points, and each round your bidding to avoid a bit of it getting destroyed, with the player who takes the disaster getting all the bid resources and a new ability or scoring condition

Big fan of Pitcrawler by @macguffinandco.bsky.social . The thumbs mechanic in particular would probably be too fiddly to impliment in a multiplayer game but works great with 2

Okay, which of you lot made this? Because my partner got it for me from a board game convention yesterday and it's AMAZING. And also: I know you're in this fandom somewhere!

(Mention of OFMD is from a cool section at the back of the book listing piratey books, film, games etc to check out)

That's me! I'm glad you like it!

I'm so excited for this game! Stop wasting your time reading this and go back it!

TTRPGs, explained in five minutes Five Minutes, Not 5e gives you the information you need to choose a game, direct from the designers

For the past few months, my main focus has been Five Minutes, Not 5e ( #5mn5e), a series of interviews with designers breaking down the basics of their games. There's 4 entries currently out, with more on the way!

This announcement over on Rascal sums it up!

Ooh I'm intrigued! Not putting mushroom people in Spectral Sea is a mistake I'll definitely fix in the expansion

Just submitted my entry today!

(and it's free for a limited time!)

I mean, I do have the game for you. Maybe I'll have a mushroom npc in the expansion...

Mushrooms and pirates, not at the same time.

A Dirty Situation by Cal A Complicated Profession unofficial expansion

I made an expansion for the wonderful GM-less TTRPG A Complicated Profession by @alwayscheckers.bsky.social

This is my (admittedly high effort) submission to the @samarmstronggames.bsky.social TTRPG supplement jam

I love how it looks! I can tell it's gonna have a great table presence

So, on 29th August, the US is ending de minimis treatment for parcels under $800 value globally. It's already done this for China; now it's going to come in for everyone. If you post parcels to America, this is going to affect you, in one of several ways.

This was great fun to record and gives a really quick overview of Spectral Sea. Thanks for having me on!

Right about now, the

Ey I'm so glad you like it! Be sure to let me know how your games go!

The book cover for Tales from the Spectral Sea. The cover features the silhouette of a pirate ship sailing over a rainbow colored sea. The words “a swashbuckling saga of sad dead sailors” is on the bottom of the cover, directly above the name “Sam Armstrong”

We love new book day 😍 so excited to add this game by @samarmstronggames.bsky.social to my ever growing game library!!! The art is gorgeous and the premise is so much fun!

Of course! Anything goes really, but I have a table of 18 different little guys if you need ideas and Kobolds are definitely on it!

Give it a follow! It should be going live very soon
