If you're mad about these layoffs (and every other layoff that's happened over the last few years in this trashfire of an industry) please sign & share this petition. Channel that rage into action. It's just a small 1st step, but it's an important one.

We’re Done Playing

Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

Five years ago, at COVID's onset, I began a Theros D&D campaign with a group of new players. They became champions, retired, even had children who grew up to slay Gods, alter Destiny, and sail the cosmos.

It's a game that honestly changed my life.

And tonight, 156 sessions later, our story ends❤️‍🔥

Thank you! Bittersweet, for sure, but it's been a joy to see a fantastic group of human beings new to TTRPGs create such a big story for the first time.

I'm sure you and your players from Witchlight will look back at the story for many, many years to come 😁

Ahhh! It's exciting and a little surreal to see my game out in the wild. 😄

Brian_Cooksey.gif @vaklam.bsky.social · Jun 9

It's here! The excellent game I helped playtest is here!

Three stacks of cards. All of the card backs read One Year Hence and have a drawing of an axe. The purple stack has Touchstones written at the bottom.

The fanned-out stack consists of card backs in 4 different colors (green, yellow, red, and blue). The green cards read Prompts and Spring.

The orange stack at the top of the image reads Instructions.

Three more days to take your revenge or die trying.

Blood On My Name is a solo journaling #TTRPG where you play as a former assassin on a quest for vengeance. Delve into a story of violent nostalgia set in a criminal underworld and go down the road to hell 🔫🩸🔪

Like, I think Blue Prince's deck-builder rogue-like aspects could be more thoughtfully designed—but the game nails its atmosphere, has fantastic mysteries and puzzles to solve, and comes together to be bigger than the sum of its parts.

It's special. Just a little hindered by too much randomness.

Don🔥🎲🔥 @donathinfrye.bsky.social · Apr 28

My thoughts on Blue Prince whenever I play it:

- The more I dig into the mystery, the sadder it is, and the more I wanna start a revolution

- Whoa, that random note I took days ago paid off, I am a geeenius

- Goddamn RNG, the game hates me in particular, whyy devs?

- Gonna need a bigger notebook

Aww, thanks, Susie! I had a blast sharing Dark Sun. Everyone's characters were sooo good, and fit right into our pulpy swords & sorcery story.

I'm so glad you had a great time, and for what it's worth, Maylee was too good for this world. She was done dirty 😅
