Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much

Ways and Means: A Heart Sourcebook The newest hardback sourcebook for the critically acclaimed TTRPG Heart: The City Beneath. MORE CALLINGS! MORE CLASSES! MORE GUNS! MORE MAGIC! MORE DRUGS! MORE ALLIES! MORE ENEMIES! MORE FALLO...

Proud to be the 913th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Ways and Means: A Heart Sourcebook! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Hooray! Thank you!

I’m really sorry, folks. I tried. I really tried to buy alllllll the RPGs at Gen Con, but I just didn’t have enough space in my car. Or enough time. Or money.

But don’t worry, I’ll try again next year. I promise.

this is correct, but some questions that might be asked in response to this state of play: what is the value of "reach"? can something be good and useful if it reaches a smaller audience, or do we believe that scale is always and everywhere the goal? Has scaling to the highest reach served us well?

Perfect.

An RPG book (Spire: The City Must Fall) layered with a pile of dice, including six-sided dice with all the pips in the wrong places.

Gonna run some #SpireRPG (by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social) tonight. If all else fails, I’ll break out the freaky chaos d6es from Dicemakers.

Hell, yeah! Way to go!!

TTRPG people are the best people.

A Galaxy of Tactics in Going Rogue "What is worthy of our sacrifice? When is it more important that we live to fight another day?"

"Resistance is worth it even when the cause is impossible, because the act of resisting provides us with a feeling of humanity that is irreplaceable." Hot damn, I feel that one all the down to my toes!

Live theatre?!??

How to Roleplay Without Accents Can't do an accent? Join the club. Here's how I roleplay without them.

Here's something not design-related from Explorers Design. A confession: I can't do accents. Not even coherent bad ones. So, when I prep for my sessions, I deliberately redesign NPCs without them.

This is one of the best, most beautiful anythings I’ve ever read.

May 3rd, 2025, Goodman Games put on our first-ever in-person convention: Dungeon Con! We can't thank you enough for making this convention one to remember!

Take a look at some of our favorite photos from the con here: goodman-games.com/a-fantastic-...

Huge bummer, but of course I encourage everyone to do what’s necessary to stay safe.

You’ll be missed, that’s for damn sure.

Looks sick!!! (The good kind of sick.)

I had a blast playing my first ever games of Call of Cthulhu at #ChaosiumCon today!

Cloud Empress: Stories from the Slip From worlds by watt - Cloud Empress: Stories from the Slip

If you're looking for ways to support indie publishers stay afloat during a trade war, I'm launching a limited-run Cloud Empress expansion (USA printed and fulfilled out of my basement) to help offset tariff charges Cloud Empress might be hit with. Take a look! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

To the Common. #Boston #HandsOff

Every time I see a small TTRPG publisher post a nervy "Here's what the tariffs mean for us" my heart just aches

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Osiyo, friends. Not to make this all about Coyote & Crow, but yesterday's news from the US Gov may have some devastating impacts on C&C Games as a whole. A cumulative 54% import tariff on goods from China will essentially kill my company (and the games industry). Sadly, it's partially our own hobby's fault that we're in the worst position to weather this storm. For years, board games have operated on razor thin margins because many fans are resistant to price hikes. But even with the amazingly generous and awesome folks that support Coyote & Crow, we won't survive this. I'm not going to ask anyone to "dig deep" or to in any way stretch themselves to support us. We're /all/ going to be in bad shape in the coming months and years if this plays out like it look like it will. Instead, I'm going to do what Natives always do: we adapt, survive, and carry on. What that exactly means in this situation, I don't know, but I have ideas and in the coming months, I'll be working on those behind the scenes. For now, we have a "fair" amount of inventory of existing games here in the US and Canada, we'll continue working with our digital partners, and we'll be pushing on with Ahu Tiiko - if nothing else to at least get you the PDF. The fate of the print edition is up in the air for the moment, but I will get back to you and all of the backers as my options start to come into focus. I hope you all are planning for your own situations as best you can. We're going to need community to get through this. Stiyu (stay strong).

This is what happens when people speak up.

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

A screenshot of a Don Bluth post with the text: “Love your friends. Friendship is a divine gift, it doesn't matter what our physical appearance might be, we can always find joy in exploring other people's journeys through life. These characters in The Land Before Time help each other in every way to find the Great Valley, which is a symbol for success. - Don” below the text is an image of Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Spike, and Petrie snuggled up and sleeping7 together in a pile.

Just leaving this here.

The TTRPG industry is in dire need of more non-white YouTubers who talk about the games and actual plays in this space. I can only take so many unseasoned opinions (basically regurgitating the same info) before I want to scream into a bucket of lava and melt my face off

I attended GaryCon XVII and played a whole bunch of games. I watched a bunch, too. And I talked to many brilliant people. All in all I learned a ton about running games at cons and I was taking notes the whole time. #GMTips #CONseason #GaryCon #TTRPGs

Yeah, the boredom in the clean up stage of a project really is tough. What works for me is imagining how I’m going to feel when I'm done with that stage, when I emerge from the grey clouds into the sunny days that come after. That gives me the drive to push through the boring stuff, bit by bit.
