There are just a few hours of fundraising left for The Conduit a MOTHERSHIP RPG adventure with illustrations by @jettilalewis.bsky.social i’m really excited about this setting full of clone rebellions, cyberpunk bars, and black site labs. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

A huge part of what makes doing a TTRPG project fun for me is just working with other people. I enjoyed coming up with rought written character outlines, but @jettilalewis.bsky.social brought them to life in ways I would never have imagined with her art.

It's been really satisfying brainstorming these sci-fi horror #MOTHERSHIP modules with @streetsurgery.bsky.social. In one, a high stakes time-crunch to catastrophe on a claustrophobic subway, in the other a flight from both new and familiar foes in an abandoned high rise.

All On Red's cross collab project The Conduit by @benkinghi.bsky.social for #mothershipmonth2025 is rad. If you back both, you're getting TWO digital reward pamphlet adventures. You're going to need an exciting train mission for your Prospero's Dream campaign. The other one takes place in The Sink!

I got the original Vast in the Dark Years back, and skipped the expansion… I might need to try this second print run though. It’s a setting I really like.

Howdy folks! I return from abroad with some good/complicated news: After 3 years, our stock of Vast in the Dark Expanded is finally nearing the end. We want to thank everyone who bought a copy, mention what we have planned for the next printing, and also get some feedback.

I’m heading to work at the grocery and there is a Border Patrol helicopter the size of a truck circling my neighborhood. The lady is selling tacos in the park on my walk to work has never made me feel like I live in a warzone. ICE and border patrol have. They are disappearing my neighbors.

The layout and art in Straight Arrows by @raccomputing.bsky.social for MothershipRPG is so great. I’m terrible with words for art, but check it out!

Evlyn Moreau@evlynmoreau.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Had a surprise in my mailbox! Straight Arrows!! :3 The zine came out really nice in print!! Collage often better blend when printed. There is so much in there to digest. Love the map work. Everything feels handcrafted with love, which is a good contrast with the space coldness of #Mothership.

#MothershipMonth2025 teaser pages are going up. I'm really looking forward to "All On Red" by @discodan.bsky.social is an urban district crammed around a metro line with a gambling den atop the community surgical clinic. It's grim, but clever with neat characters. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

@satelitesnaturales.bsky.social I don’t understand my Hario MSS-1B is still going but I guess I haven’t dropped it enough times in the past 10+ years (how is the label still legible??). Much respect to your war hario’s years of service and coffee problem enabling.

Not sure she's on bsky, but but if you're interested in another Dutch TTRPG module check out "The Belly" by Chloe Shields, a cloud city district for the Cloud Empress TTRPG. chloeshields.itch.io/the-belly go.bsky.app/ND4KhSS

I don’t yet have a Mothership TTRPG project in need of an awesome 90s rave nostalgia cover, BUT, I have the feeling I will soon…

I'm usually just here for TTRPG stuff, but if you're curious to hear some thoughtful and matter-of-fact discussion about the need for, and value of, erotic art this is an excellent lecture by Celine Loup. Came out years ago, but her words are still true today.

I interviewed @hojesofia.bsky.social, @evlynmoreau.bsky.social, and @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social about collaborating on TTRPG’s. Learn about what makes their work together tick:-) open.substack.com/pub/columbar...

Let's talk with Evlyn Moreau, Sophia R., and Luna P.

Is collaboration's biggest enemy weird sleep cycles?

I’m preparing my first month’s update for my #backerkit #mothershiprpg module “Knowedge Asymmetry.” Is there anyone planning a q1 release or fundraising (for say zinequest) who i should check out or consider mentioning in my backer update? Comment or DM me:-)

Is it “New” or is it iteration and extension? Tropes and hacks are still valuable and satisfying to read, play and make.

New blog post time. Why it is a fool's errand to try to make something totally "new" in game design, and how that flies in the face of how human's literally think/learn, and how science is done. gilarpgs.substack.com/p/on-new-games

Today is bloooooood donation day followed up by a meeting with my ttrpg collaborators to talk nerdy about dying in space.

what's up gamers, quick reminder that my Body Horror Shitshow Bundle is still available until the end of the year and also my birthday is a on Christmas and you totally wanna get me a present in the form of buying my comics???

I came here after abandoning Twitter for platforming horrible people while banning and silencing marginalized folks for daring to speak in their own self defense. I will kick Bluesky to the curb like trash and move on in a heartbeat if they repeat this.

Happy Friday the 13th to those who celebrate.
