Trying to be better about highlighting games made for the Jam. Starting out with Bez and Tricks game: Amazing Digital Roleplaying Game, made for the November jam!
Awesome graphics and very cool dice system. Def worth checking out!

This week's SBG bonus episode is on PENDA'S FEN, a striking BBC teleplay from 1974 wherein an incredibly uptight young man through a series of increasingly anomalous encounters learns to interrogate British identity, personal history, sexuality, religion, and more: www.patreon.com/posts/shelve...
28.11.2025 16:07 โ ๐ 99 ๐ 25 ๐ฌ 6 ๐ 10What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?
27.11.2025 04:18 โ ๐ 118 ๐ 25 ๐ฌ 42 ๐ 10Everyone else has mentioned that the social media ecosystem is dead and I suspect patreon will follow over the next few years as Internet personalities and micro communities are either reintegrated into a larger media structure or further marginalized.
That may be overly cynical.
Some small designers have more luck with patreon than actual game sales. Even this is probably a small amount.
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0This also has a knock on effect to production choices. No one is commissioning artist. Everyone makes their own graphics. If people happen to be working as a team, there is an understanding that the labor will not be compensated.
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Again, I don't know that I'd say this is unique to this moment, but the economic realities of most truly indie devs is such that there is no financial kickback in any way.
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The one thing that ties this current underground cohort together is an acceptance of unmarketability. People are making what they want to make with very little ambition that any of it will ever be a financially viable object. There is no underlying suggestion that anything created may be published
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0People are targeting specific genres with extreme prejudice. The fantasy of the universal system is dead. Everyone is making systems so focused that the walls constructed are like paper and if you push outside the genre motifs, you'll find void.
But even this isn't really a universal truth.
I am hard pressed to define any coherent movement out of this, save for a useless "eclectic design". People are drawing from anything and everything. It seems that we are in the midst of a genre revolution, both in the narrative and gameplay sense.
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Speaking from the bottom of the mine, there is a vast ocean of indie devs creating below the second or third tier indie games that most people have heard of. This probably isn't unique to this era. What I think might be, is the huge amount of diversity in design sources.
27.11.2025 19:29 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The Eternal Jam is rounding out the year with a little bit of homework.
Write a book report about a game you loved from this year! Dig deep into what you loved about it and pitch it to other people

Challenge: Book Report: write a review for a game in the style of a sixth grade book report
