Rebels of the Outlaw Waste 💎 🗺️

You've been tussled out into the Outlaw waste, abandoned by the last dredges of civilisation and told to go it alone. When suddenly, a voice from the last independent radio station crackles to life, sending you cryptic instructions, and a new purpose in life.

CALVIN Core 💡📖 Playing Calvin Core feels like a university drinking game—simple at first but quickly spiralling into delightful chaos.

There's a solo journalling option to the game, and I went through the steps to do that as I read through it. So this is somewhere in between a read-through and a full playthrough.

Can't get enough #indieTTRPG? @chaoticanwriter.bsky.social covers indie games in his Dungeon Delve newsletter.

You're absolutely welcome to post up your newsletter. We do similar work and we'd love to cross promote when it's useful.

It's still welcome here!

We can only get through a limited number of #indiettrpg titles per week. But there’s no limit to the number of times you can post up your games for #SelfPromoSaturday.

Share your game in the thread below and comment on someone else’s title to help them get noticed!

Leopards Eat Your Face 📖 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. – Adrian Bott

Leopards Eat Your Face 📖

"It's hard to understand the subtle creep of fascism. Those who regularly vote for their governments to get rid of waste rarely realise that they are the 'waste' the fascists are talking about."

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

If we didn't reply to you today when you sent in a request to review your #indiettrpg, it's either because we're a bit swamped by the outpouring of interest or we hold a deep dark grudge against you for some imagined slight.

And there's no way for you to know which.

Hey Jesse! @johnthehedge.bsky.social is operating this account, so of course we'll review Arrhenius!

I was about to ask you for a copy before realising that I already have a copy....

God that sounds tough...

Absolutely. This post has done rather well so we’ve had about 50 game submitted to us just today! But slide into our DMs if you’d like to pitch them to us!

Or post them here for a free advertising spot.

Yes! Hit us up on indievault.ttrpg@gmail.com

Please don’t send us games before you’ve written them. You’ll do untold damage to L-space

Yes! We also want to showcase Pirouette once it comes out!
Send us things to indievault.ttrpg@gmail.com

Please don't send us plagues of locusts. It's very cold here and the locusts would freeze.
