We're two days out from the premiere of Summer in Carcosa! In this Monsterhearts 2 campaign, We've got four different Skins: The Cereberus, The Fae, The Werewolf, and The Witch. Any guesses as to who is playing which? Hints tomorrow, though if you've been around S&K enough, one should be obvious. 😈

Behold, the writing team of Twelve Realms!

I'm so lucky! I tried to count the accolades/awards they collectively have and I lost track. I'll try another time.

Help us to get to 1K followers so we can make this game and these folks can get to writing!

Also, obviously, this will be over at twitch.tv/sword_and_key (in our defense, Lady Dame is rarely the person posting Sword & Key annoucements, but she insisted)

Who would you like to hear talk about FOLKLORE in #ttrpg?

For our upcoming twitch panel, we're talking myth, legend & folk tales & folk traditions. Who should we invite to the table?

As always priority to PoC, & in the case specifically, to under-represented (or oft-misrepresented) traditions.

Wednesday marks the return of "Oceans Apart" a Tidal Blades #ttrpg two-shot using the #CypherSystem from @montecookgames.com! This #charity game benefits the Best Friends Animal Society!

You can donate here to cause chaos and help us reach our goal: tilt.fyi/pOXpC6L4j4

Reposts appreciated!
An image as if viewed from underwater, with ripples and rocky edges leading up to a gradient of dark blue to light cyan. At the top right corner of the image is a silhouette of a whale. Overtop the background image  in the center and upper right of the promo we see Orange bubble lettering that reads: "Oceans Apart - Sessions on 7/23 & 10/1 @ 8pm eastern on https://twitch.tv/thornydryad".

The logos for Tidal Blades, Heroes of the Reef (a white lettered logo with a bright blue outline) and the Cypher System logo (a stylized red circle with the words "Cypher System" in blocky black lettering) can be seen under the orange words above. Below that is more orange lettering that says "a charity two shot adventure benefitting:"

There are 7 bubble-like outlines interspersed over the oceanic backdrop image. In one of them is the Best Friends Animal Society Logo, which is an orange image that looks like a dog face, with the words "best friends" at the bottom.

In the other six circles are images of the various players, with their names beneath them in orange lettering. Wren is in the upper left, Glaiza is in the one below that and Zoup to the lower left of Glaiza's image. At the bottom is a circle with Lissa's face in it, towards the center. Then to the right of that is a bubble with Val's image and finally, Trout is in the lower right corner. Trout's name is actually above its image bubble.
