Do you need an audiobook to listen to? A good one, that you'll enjoy? Because I have just the thing - I know it's good because I wrote and produced it and I have listened to it so many times by this point but I still like it: www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Redst...

A few weeks ago @charliehall.bsky.social wrote an opinion piece on @polygon.com saying indie #TTRPG designers shouldn’t be wringing our hands when it comes to our games as #D&D fumbles the bag.

So here it is. The Get Loud TTRPG Bundle. 36 games from 20 designers.

Here is a simple one page/pamphlet game where you collaborate and tell a story about a bear who loves marmalade. It’s cozy, wholesome, and made my heart happy to think about, so hopefully will make yours happy as you play it. jimmcintyre.itch.io/a-very-rare-...
