Don't miss this Kickstarter, friends! How can you say no to Gravlin?

Greg @lysander03.bsky.social · 4d

Meet Gravlin, a gemstone fae type Domeskai! This gentle creature burrows underground and uses stone and pebbles caught in its fur as a protective coat.

Tame him and more Domeskai in my new TTRPG now on kickstarter!

Oh did we have fun!
Friends were made & games were won.
We played something new.
And painted cute minis too.
There was so much great hair!

Enjoying my first play of Finspan! @stonemaiergames.com

As a biologist I appreciate the bio-info on cards and in booklet. With proper pluralization of "fishes"!
🐠🐠FISH if >1 fish of one species.
🐠🦈FISHES if >1 species of fish.

My friend won it at @breakoutcon.bsky.social play-to-win.

Pointing to a sentence. "Many species of fish, especially deep-sea fishes, live a more ..." Pointing to the word "fishes" as being appropriately pluarlized.

Breakout Con was such an uplifting experience, thanks so much to the organizers @breakoutcon.bsky.social. I feel like I was losing touch with my hobby and now I have so much energy to create and share.

Now I gotta playtest this new project >:]

i always love to see pictures of my games in-play, but @deepdark.games is doing more for my marketing with that cackle than any blurb could ever do.

Breakout 2026... (our best to date? big announcement coming!) @breakoutcon.bsky.social · Mar 21

And it looks like those darlings had a blast playing Sock Puppets, the RPG at the con with you! For anyone who missed picking up this one, you can still find it on Kurt's Kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ref...

Throwback to another full session of Cyberpunk Red, “The Angel’s Share.” Help a bartender keep her establishment open, just a smidge of dirty business required.

I feel like such an ass I forgot to thank @breakoutcon.bsky.social, Gary and all the lovely staff for inviting me and putting on such a great con. Thank you so much for having me! I look forward to returning in the future :)

Aaron Lim 林家丰 @ehronlime.bsky.social · Mar 17

I had a wonderful weekend at Breakout Con! Was so lovely to finally meet many people who I only know online in person, catch up with friends again, and meet new people! Hopefully I’ll be able to come back again in the future and hang out again.

What a collection of eldritch chickens and silly geese from this year’s @breakoutcon.bsky.social!

These and lots of other silly geese and eldritch chickens (friends) not pictured made this a fantastic weekend

@dcrapuchettes.bsky.social My son and I played your game Evolution: The Beginning at @breakoutcon.bsky.social. We loved it!

I own your game Evolution: Climate. The Beginning version has similar vibes but easier. I'm going to buy it and play it with my family and my biologist colleagues. Great game!
