Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Gay An awkward and absurd play about identity, honesty and intimacy when there’s nothing left to lose.

We're off to a great start but still need plenty of help getting to our goal. If you want a print or ebook copy of a queer play, consider giving us a pledge!

We have a few early bird discounts still available: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lot...

I have long wanted to run a prequel to the amazing Steeplechase season of The Adventure Zone, using a reskin of Blades '68.

Here's a short unofficial guide to Steeplechase '68, with playbooks and crews.

a|state the #TTRPG SLASHED to 25 squids! Physical book & PDF! Incredible deal!

I’ve just been working with this book again the last couple days which reminded me what absolute fire this game is.

And particularly, if you’re a Forged in the Dark sort of person, you need this.

Today backers got to see the latest version of the Wizard playbook!

In the update I mention struggling with the Wizard’s Exhaustion prompt, and workshopping a new one. I think I already have something: to the vibe of β€œrunning out of power scares you and you irreparably damage a relationship.”

Is there a website app or something that lets you get a blank hex map and draw or add things to the hexes and have it be shared with other people?

I’m going to experiment with hexcrawls for my upcoming D&D 5e 2K24 campaign with the PCs starting in the middle hex and exploring outward.

Cover, text reads 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Gay' at the top and 'a play by Kelly Whyte' at the bottom. To the right there's a torse of a man in a loose flowing shirt, he's tied in thick rope that resembles bondage but also forms a noose around the neck.

A prison cell in England, middle ages. In the centre of the back wall, a wooden plank is hung as a bed. On the left is a door. A scuffle and shouting can be heard from outside the door.

Play manuscript, following on from previous image. It reads: Guildenstern is thrown into him. Before either of them can catch their balance the door shuts. 
The lock clanks. Rosencrantz tries the door, kicking it at discovering it’s locked. Footsteps are heard, receding. Guildenstern, holding his side, sits on the bed and lets out a pained breath.
Rosencrantz paces, in a rage but also in thought. Moments pass, during which Guilden-stern draws himself up in his seat, wincing. Guildenstern examines himself. After a minute of this, suddenly:
Rosencrantz: On what charge! Louder, at the door. On what charge!
Guildenstern: Pause. Disturbing the peace? Pause. It must have something to do with the letter. Everyone was unwaveringly polite until we gave the king that letter.
Rosencrantz: That means nothing, the English are always polite! Although… this country has been strange of late. Inhospitable.
Guildenstern: England’s the same as it ever was. It is the English who have changed. Rosen-crantz scoffs. Poor hosts, that’s what they are

Rosencrantz: Do you want me to have a look at that?
Guildenstern: Why Doctor Rosencrantz, I had no idea you were so learned. No, thank you. Pause. I do believe it is broken.
Rosencrantz: Which one? 
Guildenstern: Pokes himself up and down his side. All of them, I think.
Rosencrantz: All of them? 
Silence as Guildenstern pokes himself up and down the side again, more deliberately.
Guildenstern: All of them, aye.

Cat Clans: heroic feline warriors by Sam Robson

Needed a palate cleanser yesterday, so I made a small #ttrpg inspired by my teenage memories of #WarriorCats roleplays on the Neoboards.

Anyone remember those? They never lasted long but I remember one cat, Gravestone (later Coldstone) who I played over and over!
