It is such an honor to see the Doomsong ttrpg sandwiched between two grimmest of the grimdarks 💀
My current campaigns are now exclusively Warhammer, Doomsong and Imperium Maledictum. Call me Mr. Grimdark
I badly need you to check this out. Doomsong is one of those games that have reminded me that creating a character *is* playing a character. Love how much their creators has put into their work. For me, Doomsong rules kiss the sweet spot of the right amount of crunch caesar-ink.itch.io/doomsong

It's a simple thing, but I'm really happy with how the new Doomcoins for Famine have come out. I can't wait until we have a whole collection of coins for each of the traitor gods. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cae...
Inside me there are two wolves and they are both equally valid

Andrew's work is a joy to paint. Plus, these will be *VERY* Doomsong compatible, because Moritz Krebs illustrates for us quite often and Andrew May sculpted our Father Plague miniature.

They've changed the Italian 'strega' to 'stryge', to match our own concoction of 'witch' to 'wycce' and we love that
La traduzione italiana di Doomsong è completa, ed è bellisima 🤩 🔥 The Italian translation of Doomsong is complete, and it's beautiful 🤩 🔥 #OSR #Tabletop
《末日之歌》中文版众筹活动大获成功! 敬请期待这款精彩的中世纪恐怖游戏! mourl.cc/m/H6E5SZQf #恐怖游戏 #中文翻译 #中世纪 The crowdfunding campaign for the Chinese version of *Song of the Apocalypse* is a huge success! Stay tuned for this amazing medieval horror game!
You may be recognising the art style of 💀 Moritz Krebs 💀 who has illustrated for Turnip28, Trench Crusade and, of course, Doomsong. We booked him solid for about two years to illustrate the Doomsong: Lord Have Mercy Upon Us ttrpg core & campaign #Horror&Heresy #Grimdark #Tabletop
Doomsong? The illustrations look vaguely familiar, but I don’t recall the game at all. Some grim dark goodness it sounds like.

New games are in: @brittlestar.press's cinematic battles against aliens, @caesar-ink.bsky.social' medieval horror, and McJanda's demon-filled labyrinth will scratch your combat itch! Beyond happy that @comemartin.bsky.social's adventures are finally available! Odd urbex and sunny nostalgia awaits!
just a heads up if you have a comic / art / culture / cool thing whether it be book, exhibition, event or anything along those lines that will still be relevant in, let's say, Sept onwards now would be a GREAT time to let us know about it. (music / literature / film stuff not required right now)
Met a nice musician in Castle Lethe that strange visions then ran into the Licemother down in the bultchways on the way to the Orphanage 😭 En has a 1:2 chance of running into the Licemother or the Plaguefather whenever she leaves the guild apparently!!! #doomsong #art @caesar-ink.bsky.social
The 11-foot pole came out of a conversation with the folks at @caesar-ink.bsky.social, who noted that many pits are exactly 10 feet wide and if you add 1 foot to the pole, you now have precarious balance beam situations.
That 1 foot on the pole will make the difference!
We LOVE doing stuff like this. We've done I-Spy with the art in Lord Have Mercy Upon Us, and a Discord member was all cheeky-finger-wags when he spotted three characters in the upcoming Thou Shalt Not Suffer the Wycce are named Bomolochus, Alazon and Eirona.
This morning: issues 7&8 of @wyrdscience.bsky.social — beautiful magazine. Wept for Rob, then crowed like a dork to see Long 18C ref @caesar-ink.bsky.social DOOMSONG (I’m fascinated by unsung references to the period, like when @colewehrle.bsky.social mentioned Pope as inspo for a game mechanic)
The whole map for Thou Shalt Not Suffer The Wycce works on this principle. Chris noticed that the Nottinghamshire map displayed in the castle showed towns in the form of landmarks-as-seen-approaching-by-foot, and mimicked it.
maybe it's the flatness of the landscape or the amount of walking i do but i'm never not focussing on landmarks and pondering how important theyd've been before cars reduced our worldview
These books are a piece of art

Time's almost up! Only about 9 hours left on the inaugural ENnies Emporium over on Backerkit 💀🎵

Since people are still sharing this, hey here's some promo: If you've gotten a game from an indie dev and you like it PLEASE, I'm begging you, take 10 seconds and leave a rating. On Drive Thru RPG or itch, wherever you can. Even better, give it a review! 🥹🙏
Apparently there was a common practice to "wow" guests with a pie that burst with blackbirds, hence the rhyme. Can you imagine anything more traumatizing than a meal that spills over with spiders? Yes... but not by much
