John was my best man 😊 I’ll see if I can connect you both
Had an amazing time playing #daggerheart on Monday with my semi-regular indie game group. @darringtonpress.bsky.social's has made such a fun game that's a breeze to run and hack that it's finally got me brainstorming a setting of my own 😊
One of the first roleplaying games I played 10 years ago 😊
For YEARS people have asked for an updated version of #TheStrange … now it's a stretch goal for the crowdfund! At 2,200 backers we'll make a sourcebook for The Strange using all the upgrades & improvements from the new Cypher! (If you back at either of the ALL IN levels, you'll get it for free!)
🔓🔓 UNLOCKED: Book Upgrades!

Coming up... let's bring back a fan-favorite, dimension-hopping setting filled with intrigue, mystery, and planet-threatening danger.

Join 1,900 backers to help us unlock a reprint of THE STRANGE!

…a lot of chaff in and shovelware on that platform, but that’s one of the symptoms of a mature marketplace.

Whether in bookstores or in online marketplaces like Itch, that ease of discovery feels like what we have to strive for as more people enter the hobby.
You can see the start of stuff like this in the positively huge TTRPG section of places like Powell’s in Portland, which has almost an entire aisle dedicated to TTRPG books.

Speaking as a UX Designer, Discoverability is a huge component of what makes software like Steam easy to use. Sure, there’s…
I wonder if a part of this is because TTRPGs are such a young, nascent medium. It makes me think of novels and films before they adopted any notion of genre or shared taxonomy.

I can wander into my local bookstore and know exactly where to go for new entries in my favorite genre and that’s huge.
Would love to throw my hat in

Do y'all want to see something cool?

Something available for preorder right now that is coming out this January that you can get from your favorite bookstore?

If you said "no" look away right now, because here it is
Hey #ttrpgfamily and #dnd5e fans: I am hoping to run The Turn of Fortune's Wheel for my friends with a bit more padding and some other adjustments. I'm reading through the 2e resources for ideas, but what are some of your other favorite "planar cosmology" supplements?
When you find yourself in Santa Fe, you need to visit George R. R. Martin’s bookshop, Beastly Books, and the Jean Cocteau Theater next door. Found one of my favorite guys just hanging out
Finally back in NYC after 3 weeks in Santa Fe and Charlotte and excited to edit the last parts of Part 2 of The Hole in the World together 😊

We've now hit the art book and are racing towards the next stretch goal... Join us in the actuality
Have I mentioned lately how astonishing and beautiful the art in Invisible Sun is?

Oh, and this one, by David Seidman, is from Book M. Which we just announced is getting a reprint.

Oh, oh, and we're about 60 backers away from unlocking a high-end art book to really do all this great art justice!

Invisible Sun just hit another stretch goal. This is actually a pretty insane value with all of the books and accessories you get.

Hyper surrealist magic setting with both urban and archetypal Planes(Suns). The magic system is neat, the XP system is great, and you can be a ghost when you die.
Invisible Sun: Return of the Black Cube
The amazing Invisible Sun Black Cube—one of the most astonishing and sought-after RPGs ever—is coming back into print!
