Griot Anthology (Ashcan) by Thoughtcrime Games a zine of microTTRPGs and micro-settings from black TTRPG designers.

Juneteenth would be a pretty good time to give the Griot Anthology your attention! Today is the last day it's free/pwyw thoughtcrimegames.itch.io/griot-anthol...

I'd love to see some of the games in the Anthology get played on APs, but I am not connected enough to that scene to make it happen...

well isn't that something

image of a cityscape, the words BUMP IN THE DARK emblazoned across the deep red sky. Superimposed on top of this is an image of the hardcover version of the book, along with a laurel made of polyhedral dice that reads 2025 CRIT AWARD NOMINEE.

Thank you so much to everyone who nominated Bump in the Dark for the 2025 @critawards.bsky.social! I am so excited to announce that the game is a finalist for Best Indie TTRPG! Bump is, above all else, a game about community and this community we've made means so much to me.

Coming soon: Wandering Blades Lethal melodrama in an old school tabletop RPG package!

Photo of a game demo setup for Arkaloka featuring a target mat, coins, character portraits, and a character sheet.

Went to KLIF today and found an Indonesian group selling their TTRPG system and setting! It uses coins tossed onto a target mat for resolution! How cool is that. Look them up at lokamantra.com/arkaloka

#Writing ttrpgs is a weird hobby. You want crystal clear sentences. Clear, unambiguous rules.

But you also want to fill your copy with evocative language, that transports and transforms the reader. Ooze nuance, vibes, and setting from those few, slim pages.

Neigh

A hand holding a piece of paper that says "Bonus Cursed Game: Horse and. If you read this you are now CURSED!!!" Some text is cut off and the next line says "the zine and put your hand through it". Below the text on the paper are illustrations on how to handle the zine, mostly cut off in the picture

@ehronlime.bsky.social hey thanks for cursing me with your zine I can't stop neighing 😑🐴
