Surprise! I have joined the fearsome and terrible hive at RRD, and will be the new Soc Media wretch!
Lots of love and mouth full of dice, Naomi xoxo

Graphic to introduce Naomi as the new social media manager. There's a smiling close up on a polaroid, an ink drawing of Heike by Sar Cousins and a photo of Naomi on a podcast stage at dragonmeet. A piece of paper has some notes on it. It says "hello" "I'm taking the social media going forward, made HEART an actual play podcast and played heike. Secretly plans to kill grant in a pit trap by 2035"

Dearest fellow TTRPG goblins, I am expanding my offering! This is something I have long done in multiple work contexts, so it just makes sense to offer it on a freelance basis as well. Reasonable, flexible rates provided on request.

A colourful advertisement for proofreading services, including a picture of the provider and contact details. The caption beneath the image reads "Megan L. Ramirez" and the contact information specifies "megan.l.ramirez@gmail.com"

Gallows Corner is the next game from Three Sails Studios after the success of Mappa Mundi, our debut release.

But what IS Gallows Corner? What is a Peasants' Revolt RPG? This week, you'll find out. Today, we're talking setting!

The front cover of Gallows Corner - A Peasants' Revolt RPG.

A gallows and noose are silhouetted against a full moon. An ornate border of thorns and brambles extends around the edge of the cover.

NEW EPISODE! Part 3 and the finale of Star Crossed: Love Letters.

The more Cory and Florence bond, the harder it becomes to ignore the obvious and Florence's fight or flight starts to kick in.

Any mutuals interested in joining me, I'm looking at running a 23rd Century campaign using these materials as well as the galaxy maps, the Technical Guide and gaming tokens.

This'll be a low commitment campaign meaning you can join, leave and rejoin as you like.

Apply by comment or DM 💫🖖✨

Alright folks, I'm three quarters of the year through my year-round discover and create challenge.

Every month I've been discovering new Actual Plays and TTRPGs as well as creating new TTRPG content myself. Here's how I've gotten on in September:

TTRPG creation:

This month has been a great month for developing Everworld, my Outdoor Adventure RPG.

Playtests have allowed me to fine the challenge and action rolls and experiment with the new terrain system to make the world seem wilder and motivate players to improve their skills!

The prompts encouraged guided me through penning a story about identity, hope, hopelessness, logic vs. instinct and the nature of games for making sense of the world. Would highly recommend!

TTRPG discovery: Betwixt by @mumblemegs.bsky.social

I'm pretty biased, but Megan's got a real knack for thoughtfully designed solo TTRPGs.

Betwixt has you becoming colonised by a strange entity and journaling about the experience.
