This year I wanna play more RPGs written or created by women or mostly women teams, indies and self-promo extremely welcome. Please drop your recs below, I need help to find hidden gems 🙏 Also looking for one-shot games 👀

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

I'm not even in this one and I'm still really proud of what we've put together for this one shot! Thanks @innocentgoblin.bsky.social for a wonderful story and forcing me to write sad music (my favourite kind!)

As our hunters head further into the manor, a helping hand reaches out ... The conclusion to our 'What Haunts Us' session, with a system created by our wonderful GM @innocentgoblin.bsky.social and featuring @anusiabattersby.bsky.social as a guest, is now available wherever you get your podcasts! 👀👻

I have been thinking a lot about why I started making audio dramas. It was in the second month of covid lockdowns, my time was occupied with audio fiction, and I was thinking about a years-old novel I had written, and I just went 'why not'. Almost 250 episodes later I'm still thinking 'why not'.

What starts in chaos, often ends in chaos. But what comes next for our talented team? Well, Mör(k)e chaos, apparently ... Check out our beautifully unhinged peek behind the scenes now, wherever you get your podcasts! 💚

What do we do when a campaign is over? Why, we talk about it, of course! Featuring future card revelations, potential ascensions to godhood, iron rot, and extremely unfortunate orphans. Because of course. Check it out now, wherever you find your podcasts! 💜

This game made me cry (in a nice good carthartic way!) and now you can read the cool research it helped out Also @natescottjones.bsky.social is the only GM to ever actually let me break stuff by saying "This statement is false" and yes I have tried that in multiple games 😁

New chapter in the edited collection “Gaming in a Postdigital World! @virginiak.bsky.social and I were happy to think with writer Seth Price’s idea of “machine time” and McBride et al’s Humanizing Data Expression framework. Read to see how players disrupt dominant stories about ed tech and AI!

Chapter 10: ‘The World Needs to Adapt to Us’: Resisting the Hidden Curriculum of Schooling Through Postdigital Speculative Table-Top Roleplaying

I was going to do a thread of "For Pride Month here's all the Actual Plays I listen to with queer, trans, and nonbinary people in them" and then I realised that's just... all the Actual Plays I listen to.
