If you know of or run an awards show/process for TTRPGs, I want to hear about it! I'm trying to put together an accessible and updated list so that indie devs can more easily find and submit their games. If you're a smaller show, that's great! Hopefully I can get some more submissions for your show!

A black and white digital drawing for the TTRPG Crucible of Aether depicts two figures. The first is a woman with bird-like features wearing a dress and looking out a window. She is holding a goblet in one and and oblivious to the second figure. The second figure has mouselike facial features and is wearing tattered clothes, bits of armor and many pouches. The second figure also has a rat on one shoulder and is wielding two knives as they stalk behind the first figure.
A black and white drawing for the TTRPG Crucible of Aether depicts a figure in a toga sitting on wide marble stairs above a cityscape. The figure, who has canine-like facial features, is grinding herbs with a mortar and pestle while looking at instructions on a piece of parchment she is holding down with a foot.
A color image depicts a collage of four figures from the Crucible of Aether TTRPG, as well as the logo for the game and a render of the book. A masked figure in rotting wraps and a cloak holds out a blooming flower in their hand. A second figure has green and red tattoos, red hair and blue feathering around their face. A third figure has a metal mask, metal arm and holds a flintlock pistol in one hand. A fourth figure stands in the back with a bat hanging from their harm and a knife in one hand. Their red eyes look to the viewer. Knots of vines and metal cables frame either side of the image.
The Crucible of Aether Kickstarter is LIVE!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
