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

Last year, I ran a poll to get an idea of the state of the TTRPG community. This year, instead of doing a bunch of separate posts, I’m creating a Google Form to collect responses in one place.

I’m currently coming up with questions to ask. What do you think I should ask?

Papercult is still up and running and thriving, which is something I *should* periodically remind people when the owner of this site isn't crashing out, but especially when they are: papercult.club

Hi bluesky, idk how to get people to see this, but I'm a game designer, writer, poet, and graphic designer who makes books! You should follow me and help me achieve the impossible: getting ihop to stack my pancakes 8 high instead of the default 4.

Anyways, here's some recent work <3

There's A TTRPG For That @mint-rabbit.bsky.social · 3d

I have officially hit 100 different games played in my games history. My 100th game was a Hearts of Wulin x Lady Blackbird hack.

This is incredibly poetic because Lady Blackbird was the first #ttrpg I ever played.
