Me, someone who has never had the time to play any of the solo #ttrpgs I own:

Maybe I should make a solo game...

Infiltrating the xanathar guild and trying to survive xD

Book mock-ups for Cryptid Creeks, Ripples and Tendrils.

The ttrpg industry is healthiest when we share knowledge. Starting in December, I’ll be streaming a 4 part Twitch tutorial on setting up an effective @backerkit.bsky.social campaign. This will be of particular value to those planning a project crowdfund for 2025.

This sounds adorable and delightful!

DM Tip: If your characters become heroes of a town have them come across kids running around in costumes, role-playing as them.

They will love it.

Just some good ol' prep for ttrpg work that is coming up, and a fun Waterdeep session soon!

Currently designing the first Hatchlings SRD based on improvisational storytelling using a dice pool. Tentatively calling it the “Generations” system. Hoping this will really suit designers looking to create content for unique AP productions.

A city under a starry night. Three young figures stand in the center walking away from the camera. The center one points to the sky. The Spine can be seem in the sky extending upwards endlessly. The title says "Spine of Eternity: Everybody Wants to be a Star" the "I" in "Spine" is a book. It says "An RPG by Eva Terra. Cover art by Phoebe Mark" in the bottom.

Spine of Eternity: Everybody Wants to be a Star is a Powered by the Apocalypse Tabletop RPG.

In a modern fantasy setting where fame is power you play as an adventurer traveling the land to earn the strength to reach the Stars.

Escape from Wonderland A TTRPG about an uncanny amusement park and its wicked temptations, from the creators of Questlandia.

I have a thesis statement but no essay yet. I won't even know if it's a good thesis until I see the game. But here's what I'm thinking about Escape from Wonderland, Under Hollow Hills, & ilk:

The liminal becomes the numinous.

Surviving the liminal & surviving the numinous are self-identical.

Glitch ITEM 20 Unique, Magical Price 70,000 gp Usage held in 1 hands; Bulk 1 There are relics in this world that defy the natural order of things and exist in a realm that seems impossible to us. This +3 greater striking energizing longsword is adorned with a leather-wrapped handle and brass fittings at the cross guard and pommel. The blade itself is composed of an unnaturally glowing, green crystal-like material that shifts and distorts constantly. Activate [2] envision; Frequency 3 times per day; Effect Choose an empty space that you can see within 15 feet of you. You instantly travel through the material plane appearing in that space leaving behind a clone of you with the minion trait in the space you were occupying. The clone shares your stats, except that its Hit Points are equal to your current level +8. Activate [2] envision, manipulate; Effect You Strike an enemy with this weapon and simultaneously cause any active clones of you to explode in a reality shattering distortion. Creatures within a 5-foot emanation of a clone must succeed on a DC 43 Will saving throw or become Stunned 4. You are immune to the effects of this ability but your allies are not.

I just love this sword. It's badass. It's meta. It has really cool art. I dunno, I'm just proud of the things we make.

Drop a repost if you like it too. It helps more people see our stuff!

Bug-Submarine design for a ttrpg

This looks so cool!
I can imagine it being used both deep underwater or in space, 'swimming' between large asteroids and gathering resources!
