Hey! I've been getting a large influx of followers today... so lemme introduce myself!

I'm Nick! I'm a 40 yr old #ttrpg #gamedev from CT! I write games because I want to arm people with joy to combat the despair the world tries to drown us in.

Some great tips here - not just for Blades GMs but for GMs of any system. 👍

If you wanna see indie creators succeed, remember you can always write reviews, talk about your play experience, do shoutouts, plenty of stuff that helps so much since there's only so many places that offer us outreach, especially if we are outside of the D&D/OSR space

Really though? I think having little virtual people pop in, make messes, buy stuff, comment on how cool your place is becoming, etc. is one of the biggest selling points for me. That it also doubles as a decent survivalv crafter with heavy ARPG influences is a cherry on the cake.

Nick Butler, THE STUNTMASTER @fallonmyblade.bsky.social · 1d

The combat is smooth, but the parry system is a bit unforgiving and can take some getting used too. Fortunately theirs a metric fuck ton of guns (and things to hit or stab someone with in general due to the nature of the games pick up anything and sell or murder someone with it nature) to balance.

Nick Butler, THE STUNTMASTER @fallonmyblade.bsky.social · 1d

You can literally sell trash to get your first stack of bills. Then eventually when you get big racks on racks on racks? YOU CAN BEAT PEOPLE TO DEATH WITH YOUR OVERPOWERED WALLET.

Or like literally anything else that isn't a drink or food item. Banna peel? Bitch smack them with it. Lightpost? YES!

Nick Butler, THE STUNTMASTER @fallonmyblade.bsky.social · 1d

So ya'll. This game I'm playing "Saleblazers"?

This game is gas.

Its like Moonlighter and Enshrouded had a baby and that baby went on to be a wonder child.

You run a store, can hire employees to help with task, and build the store from the ground up in classic pretty house games fashion.

Bro ended up being a tragic demon drop kicking hero with a cool hot air balloon with a hook that transports HIS SWORD around at his call.

I put a lot of badass to a murder mystery character!

Ya'll should go watch the vods.

Alas, I haven't been doing AP long enough to expect people to answer this question.

My favorite though? Reggie Scarborough from @enchantingsorcery.bsky.social 's End of Love campaign.

He was supposed to be a bad guy if you can believe it!

What is your favorite character created by this artist.

Fall vs rhe Cricket invasion pt ♾️: I have run out of munitions and the Depot is so far off during this long night. Their legs sing the song of their people not to attract their mates, but to mock me in the face of my failure to defend the sacred silence of my home.

on a blank white background, shot glasses with etchings of different dice sit in a diagonal row containing a brown liquid. Some black dice are scattered in front of the glasses, and the text "one-shots & shots" is above the image.

If you haven't already, please start auditing your social media. Be mindful of your posts. If this goes through, this could lead to them kidnapping you for any reason, but ESPECIALLY because of your identity.

That is terrible! I'm so sorry!

Maybe your phone had a back up in a weird folder? Mine does that depending on what app I use stuff just ends up in my camera album.
