damn this looks fantastic

I don't feel the need to note it often, but One Shot predates Critical Role by almost two years and The Adventure Zone by just one.

I say this merely to emphasize the show about touring hundreds of indie games was popular and successful before the most prominent D&D shows even began.

I am watching this space

YouTube video by GM Jeff Stormer Masks of the Masks: An Actual Play Audio Drama - Coming Soon to Kickstarter

This is a story about violence. This is a story about failure. This is a story about vigilantes. This is NOT a story about superheroes.

Coming soon to Kickstarter.

I wouldn't shilling so hard if it wasn't an emergency. Had some unexpected expenses this summer (which is the slower season for my household) and we are try to catch up. Please consider grabbing EVERY PAID GAME I HAVE for $15 bucks and/or sharing this around.

Thank you so much!

I'm the editor for Dragon Reactor! I've already completed the game's developmental pass, and y'all. it's very very good.

As part of the dev edit I playtested a couple sessions, and was really impressed with the push-and-pull of the mechanics and how TENSE this game can get.

I *loooveee* this game.
There’s a lot of ttrpg in the mech grenade but not a lot of them hit the heart wrenching brutal calculations pilot characters have to make in the heat of battle that are so core to the stakes & emotional arcs to thier mecha touchstones like DR does.

Seriously if you like mech games this is a necessary one to add to your library

New Malevolent morning is a good morning

Crucible: A Solo Roguelike World-Building RPG Crucible is a solo RPG about a character being transformed by their world, and what that tells you about both them and that world.

Conventional wisdom says you shouldn't launch a crowdfunder opposite Gencon.

I had in fact completely forgotten that Gencon was happening.

Oops.

this is so pretty!! I love that type of binding

If you call visa, they'll deflect you to an email. If you ask for a case number, they take 5 minutes to generate one.

One of my first (and favorite!) reviews of Absurdia. If you're interested in a brief overview of the game and how it plays, go check out Sam's video!

If you like absurdism, you don't want to miss Absurdia. I've been looking forward to the print release of this game for years.

Here's a short video I made about it a while back!

Anamnesis, Death of the Author, and The World We Left Behind will all be at GenCon booth 449!

Possible Worlds puts Pittsburgh on tabletop RPG map with award nomination The Details of Our Escape, a collaboration between Possible Worlds Games, writer Renee Gladman, and artist Linnea Sterte, received a nomination for Best Writing from the ENNIE Awards.

INDIES: Reminder that if you include local outlets in your press releases, sometimes they'll cover you! I'm FAR from the only TTRPG dev putting Pittsburgh on the map these days, and it's so great seeing @pghcitypaper.com celebrate local game design & publishing! www.pghcitypaper.com/arts-enterta...

With payment processors and right-wing weirdos upping their attacks on platforms, it is more important than ever to subscribe to your favorite creators' newsletters.

It's often the best way to keep track of our work.

If you sell on itch but don't do automatic payouts (???) you should really do that now. They're not a bank.

I just wrote an email to itch.io voicing my concerns about their recent announcements. I sell enough there that I hope they pay at least a little attention.
