It's finally here! My MMO-like RPG Riftbreakers is finally out! It has hundreds of different abilities for you to choose from, randomly generated loot, procedurally generated hexcrawling and rifts, and lots of crafting! Make sure you grab a copy! Link below.

Looking for playtesters for an upcoming sci-fi horror game kind of like shadowdark meets ten candles meets mothership.

If you want to test it with your group, send me a DM on Bluesky and I’ll send you a free copy.

Got to sell these books cause the $472 to print them is totally dragging me down - so maybe buy a small indie game if you haven't yet
Thanks! That's very kind, now I can begin crawling out of the hole

Fun fact for Canadian TTRPG creators: you don't need to pay $100 to get an ISBN like folks in the US.

Library and Archives Canada allows you to get free ISBNs for your projects. Takes around 4-6 weeks for your account to be created but then you are good to go.

CHEERS TO YOU, HERMITS!
IT'S SOLO SEPTEMBER!

Low-stakes, introspective, unsettling, classic, unexpected - we checked off LOTS of boxes. Be a muffin. Be a worm. Be the last human. Be a dog but think seriously about war.

Dive in!
Never played a solo game before?
Now's a great time to check some out🧵

A proud 3d-printed warrior figure stands atop gamebooks and individual cards from card-based RPGs. Visible are Auspex, the city map from Beak, Feather, & Bone, Well Made, and In Ruins. The card, "jettison" is from Better Strangers. The figure (unpainted) can be found in our TPK Brewing vending machine as a mystery mini

I recommend implementing a third-party analytics with Google. It has provided me way better info than the basic analytics.

You can do it for each game, or for all of your stuff in one go (link below). Individual setup in in the "Interact" settings on each game.

My games have been actively put down because of their "board game mechanics." I love board games, and wish more TTRPGs utilized mechanics from them, and will continue to do so.

The intersection of possibilities between BGs and TTRPGs is immense and very underutilized in the current space, IMO.
