Really proud of this game. And really proud of this honor!
My kid (11) is working on a tabletop role-playing game plus an adventure, and I just got to playtest both.
Such a fucking nerd.

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.
What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

The teacher called and said my kid was involved in a fight with the school’s notorious bully. Apparently, the bully was beating up another child and my kid pushed the bully away, at which point the bully attacked my kid. The teacher wants us to talk at home about how violence isn’t acceptable.

@snaxwell.bsky.social @aaronmfking.bsky.social I think the idea that you should never talk about moves in PbtA games stems from the MC principle ”Make your move, but never speak its name.”

I finished the 10 pregen characters Heroes of Cerulea, 1 sheet for each of the Kin options in the core book as well as the More Kin and Mystery Potions PDFs. I also gave each character a Special Item from the full list Master section.

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!
Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.
Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

one of the great tragedies of making a book is that the time you are most excited about it (when you are in the middle of making the damn thing) is, necessarily, the time when no one else is reading it

I was nominated for a TTRPG award, but it said "Lucas Falsk" instead. "Falsk" means "Fake", so it's now the name I call my evil twin.
Years ago my first novel was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, and when it came time for the nominees to be read out I got to hear the MC, a brilliant fantasist whose work I love, absolutely butcher the title. Just trip over it repeatedly. "The Lies of Lack... Lockey... uh, Lackey Lammer-ah?" 🧵
