Hey everyone, I'm Moss, a queer indie #ttrpg and #boardgame designer. I mostly make games about my own anxieties with a small team under the banner 'Brewist Tabletop Games'. I'm also available for editing and consults on ttrpgs. DM me for more info! More below.

Hey everybody, I hate to ask, but I’m putting out my hat if anyone can help. I haven’t talked about it because I didn’t want to make it a big deal but two weeks ago I had to make an emergency room visit. With the big unexpected expense, start of the month payments I’ve hit a negative balance hard

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Thank you all so much for the invested and powerful roleplay. I absolutely love seeing folks play our games and clearly being so passionately into their characters. And thank you, Sean, for guiding those lost souls to their righteous ends. I’m working on a gift for y’all (hopefully) at PaxU. 🔥🐳🔥

Finally got to sit down to finish @helpactionneeded.bsky.social’s run of HELLWHALERS. It was excellent! Perfect wrap to an awesome 4-parter. The whale encounter got intennnnnse! Highly recommend the entire thing for anyone curious about the game. A beautiful example of running the setting well done.

Package secure.

Rushing to my last address hoping the delivery of a game wasn’t porch-pirated.

No apology necessary! More like Dark Crystal than muppets, but the concept is inherently a bit silly!

Still working on Sweltergeist, messy queer horror amidst a brutal heatwave.

Need to finish Needlestitch, my gothic-fantasy puppet ttrpg.

Desiring this morning to revisit Weald, my science-fantasy deckbuilding minis- agnostic PvE wargame I’ve been sitting on for ages. But I need to finish so much other stuff.

Someday I will domesticate these brainworms.

Heart scenario design is tricky but fun; you need to keep things absurd but grounded, tragic but wonderful, daft but disgusting. To that end I have written a world-ending adventure which focuses around one (1) bee

HOOK
A decrepit Deep Apiarist approaches the delvers and speaks: the walls between worlds are thinner than ever, and the crimson undoing that splinters the real will soon arise and destroy us all. They press a single bee (very gently) into your hand, casting a rheumy eye around themselves as they do, and beseech you to take this Queen to an empty hive beside Wardstone Nasonov (Heart, pXX) - and from there she will reinforce the wards that sustain the universe. “Worry not,” they croak, “for I will be with you every step of the way,” whereupon they drop dead and a hundred bees swarm out of their mouth and ears.

You hear a shout from across the cavern - “There! They have it!” - and someone opens fire. Someone else returns fire from behind you. It seems like this is a very important bee.
