Nathan Russell

Go Play Brisbane is all wrapped up for another year!

Thanks @perilplanet.bsky.social @tinstargames.bsky.social for making the trek up north from NSW. We loved having you.

We've had a great time with an estimated 200 people playing #ttrpg and board games with us over the course of the weekend.

I'm in Brisbane this weekend for Go Play Brisbane! I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones.

It is 6 points. Sorry for the confusion. Not sure what happened when the PDF.

Shout-out to Nathan Russell and Peril Planet games! I recently found a CRIMINALLY underated scifi game of his called Star Scoundrels and then that led me to Neon City Overdrive and then to Tomorrow City.

More of his games will be on my channel 100%! Feeling so inspired!

I would love to hear them!

I mean, look at these nerds!

Another early start as I return to Sydney for SuperNova. This time I am chaperoning my daughters and their friends so they can meet their favourite fantasy author. What a bunch of nerds! 😃 #supernova #popculture #ThingsWeDoForOurKids #booknerds

This is a super cool game!

It was a 5.30am start today, heading to Sydney for Free RPG Day. I am excited!

We are doing "Australia's Biggest Morning Tea" fundraiser at work today, and a co-worker made this amazing cupcake topper of my book! #BiggestMorningTea #HardCity #CancerCouncil @ospreygames.bsky.social

This is one of the most beautiful character sheets I have seen in a while. Tomorrow City by @perilplanet.bsky.social I am just sad I won't be able to replicate this piece for online play. Looking forward to digging in.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I am working on more games now. There is one I will self publish (under Peril Planet) and have another game in the works for Osprey Games.

Grimwild: Expanded Hardcover Print Run A fantasy adventure tabletop RPG, inspired by D&D 5e classes and monsters, but built with modern, narrative rules that strive for fluid gameplay, creative freedom, and a cinematic feel.

Proud to be the 623rd backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Grimwild: Expanded Hardcover Print Run! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/O...

3rd strike. Now the collection of the "city" games by @perilplanet.bsky.social is complete. Love the system behind those games. And the settings. And the writing. 🤩

Not currently as I am terrible at using discord. I will try and build a habit of logging in regularly and when I am confident that I can be on consistently I will see what I can do.

I'm gonna test Neon City Overdrive soon. I was itching for some good cyberpunk games. The games in the "city" series by @perilplanet.bsky.social are sooooo good.

Check out this zine #ttrpg by friend and amazing person, Tanya Floaker. It is on Kickstarter now.

For years YEARS, I've been saying that #TRG / #TTRPG publishers need to look into localized printing to help minimize shipping costs. I get why they didn't, I do.
But considering recent news I feel like we're all about to pay for the industries lack of foresight.

100% We have the printing facilities in Australia. When I buy Print in Demand products they ship from Melbourne, but my own trad published books don't arrive in Australia until months after release.

Found this evidence that we may in fact be living in the future. Now, where did I park my mech?

Frequently! I either think I need to do more, or get distracted by something else!

I don't know what this is, but I love it! 😃 Good old Red Box DnD.

It's time for #tinyworldjam!

Join me and @vidityavoleti.bsky.social in making #TTRPG micro settings that can fit within a few pages - worldbuild on a small scale, keep the scope easy, and have fun with it

I saw Hard City in the "wild" while at CanCon this weekend!

It's an amazing list - thanks for the hard work.

Don't forget, friends, Freeform Universal is also released under CC-BY license!

Indie RPG marketing has stock characters like a Greek play.

Enter, the Diogenes the Writer: "I hath written a game as an act of Love! I will not soil my hands with money on this. Wouldst thou like it?"
The Chorus: "Do not speak to us of a new game."

Yes lots of duet games out there. For some early examples from the early 2000's check out the games by Emily Care Boss such as Breaking the Ice and Shooting the Moon.
