We’re all being forced to sacrifice in so many ways for 1) a thing no one asked for and 2) that doesn’t really work.
It’s wild that literal trillions of dollars have been spent on AI, and it’s still such a nothing product.
My first official game for the Gauntlet, By Endurance We Conquer is in crowdfunding! BEWC is about the horrors of arctic exploration and has deep tie-ins into the Brindleverse. Which The Between fan will especially appreciate, once Shadow Society lands. 😇 Looks like we’ll fund soon 🤩
THE BRINDLEVERSE LIVES! The Brindleverse Triptych is now live on @backerkit.com With games by @jasoncordova.bsky.social @heckmueller.bsky.social @carrion-comfort.com & addtional content by @chaoticblade5.bsky.social & all new layout by @clearkeep.bsky.social. TTRPG.link/bv3 5/x

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.
If I was to put together a panel at PAX Unplugged all about the practical and creative decisions and skills that go into creating clips from TTRPG content for Shorts/Reels/TikTok... Is that something of interest? What would folks want to hear about specifically? Who'd want to join the panel?
A Tuesday reminder about my Jacksonian Gothic horror game Imp of the Perverse. Follow your imp-afflicted protagonists as they deal with the real monsters in their world. If you give in? You GM the next game as your comrades now hunt your former protagonist! www.ndpdesign.com/imp

I’m so proud of the Sprigs & Kindling team. And so flattered that my games have inspired something so amazing.

The Gauntlet Writing Retreat is coming up in October and I’m getting increasingly excited. We haven’t done one in a couple years, and I’ve really missed it. It’s such a great creative space.
Sometimes, when working with rules you wrote over a decade ago, you should NOT assume you still have them internalized.
The newest episode of The Darkened Threshold is a real banger. Alex and I talk about the state of Carved from Brindlewood. Lots of insight into the system, the community around it, and design insights I've never talked about anywhere else. It's a good one! www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-darkened...

Today I am running By Endurance, we Conquer a Carved from Brindlewood #TTRPG by @heckmueller.bsky.social and released by The Gauntlet in 2025. It hits most of my go to tropes; horror, history, exploration. Looking forward to this for a while. Report to follow. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
My most artsy, weird, personal and experimental stuff has mostly been published randomly, as blog posts and competition PDFs on a myriad of web pages and fora. When I started gathering them, they became a personal history. Only for the specially interested! My least commercial works :D

This 60-attendee convention somehow had: * full running childcare, co-sponsored by our local PBS affiliate * vendors & food trucks * fundraising raffles & auctions * local higher ed & libraries networking * 5 distinct game tracks * and a crafts room running all day!
Shadow / Giant 2e, a 2 player wolf & cub #indieTTRPG a la Logan, TLOU, Arcane, and more, is coming to print through @plusoneexp.bsky.social ! Take on the roles of a traumatized, powered youth & their jaded guardian, trying to get somewhere safe & outrun the Threat. plusoneexp.com/products/sha...
Btw: the discourse around BBay, AW, BitD, etc. will seem quaint once The Lands Remaining is out. TLR will be the biggest discourse magnet in at least 10 years.
I'm starting a monthly TTRPG playtesting event here in Vienna! Playstorming is a collaboration between the convention I co-run, VindieCon.com, and Paradice, a massive tabletop gaming community here in Vienna! We'll meet up to share game dev goodness, and get new games to the table! May 22nd!
@sefirotgame.bsky.social Hey, fellow Vienna guy here. I‘d love to chat with you guys about your journey as a game studio for the 3W6 Podcast. Any chance you’re interested? :)
I have a new fantasy game coming out soon. It’s called The Lands Remaining, and I ran a whole campaign arc for @thebadspot.bsky.social channel. It’s a fantastic actual play, and a great look at the game everyone is going to be talking about (for good or ill!) youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I promise if this gets funded to make an actual play audio drama piece from it
It's the last day of the Public Access campaign, and we have just revealed the final Secret Stretch Goal, a solo journaling game called Public Access: Apartment 319! Read more here, and be sure to back before it's too late! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...
You‘re welcome! All the basic, fundamental and essential knowledge I have of independent and/or narrative RPGs, I learned by listening to @heckmueller.bsky.social and @wienna.bsky.social. A wonderful series from Episode 1 to the most recent one.
