The TTRPG community lost a bright light with the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social

He gave so much of himself to others and never stopped advocating for creativity and kindness.

My heart is with his wife and daughter, his family and friends.

Today is TTRPG Mail Day!

The Stranger Things x D&D Welcome to the Hellfire Club boxed just arrived!

Pretty sure this is going to be a collectible in time. I have the older Stanger Things boxed kit. Wonder how it compares?

This is so cool Francesca! I recently picked up your Sigil map, and hung it on the wall beside the maps you did for Blackbirds! 🀘🏻

The Awards Debrief 2025 An in-depth look at the Ennie Awards, its process, design, and role from the perspective of one former judge.

I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience.

It's a 4-part series (I know, I know). One article a day. Today's lays out my goals and puts the focus on awards in general.

A closer look at the Raptor Ruckus RPG Quickstart, compatible with MΓ–RK BΓ–RG.

It's a survival horror TTRPG by way of Jurassic Park.

Black Company is my favorite book series of all time.

If Arc Dream needs dev editing copyediting, or other assistance, I'd jump in with both feet! Either way, just happy to see this come to be in a TTRPG!

The playtest draft of Arc Dream’s The Black Company sprawls across a Haunted West mousepad, next to a half-full Delta Green coffee mug. Chris’s hand, wedding ring gleaming, partially obscures the cover and text, hinting at the work-in-progress magic within.

21 hours remain before Raptor Ruckus ttrpg wraps up Kickstarter!

Get on board! www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

Morning, bitches!

The reality of making a living at #art today is: it's about making an ENTIRE WIDGET.

It's not enough to just make the illo on page 76, or to write 500 words of text for some game.

MAKE THE GAME. MAKE THE WHOLE COMIC. TELL YOUR STORY. CREATE YOUR VISION.

Don't fuck around. GO.

On that note, go watch Damon Lindelof's sleeper hit series The Leftovers on HBO.

Even at ages 8+, gamers gunna strategize for the best use of Feather Fall in D&D.

We don't use books, just #OSR vibes.

I’ve got a research deck I put together I’ll dig out to share. It breaks down how parents and giftgivers by generation buy games for kids.

The key takeaway is that parents approach board game purchases very differently from video games, especially when it comes to what they expect to pay.

I'm sure! It's a kick ass set with lots of toyetic bits that help transform the experience.

I am unsure if you have little ones, but it's been my experience that the more physical items I can hand to the kids group I run (ages 8-11), the more they grok the game.

10.09.2025 16:12 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I hear you there! My nine year old has been champing at the bit to get this set because of the toyetic elements.

As a parent? Waitinf until it goes on sale a week after launch on Amazon.
