Laughing Lark Games

LLG focuses on offering interesting resolution mechanics, quirky character creation systems, and as many random roll charts as possible. https://linktr.ee/laughinglarkgames

While the wife's away, the husband will...well, his best 😅 My lovely wife is visiting her family this week, so I'm dedicating myself to some hardcore #TTRPG HoK time. Dreadful is pushing towards the first draft territory and I could not be prouder of myself. Two more nights of grind 😤

I'm taking a moment to breathe, reflect, & celebrate. I have grown as a #TTRPG creator/designer over the last couple years & it's a dream come true. Thank you for joining me on this journey, for supporting & encouraging me. I can't wait for y'all to see what's next! Love, Jay LLG Lead Designer

Hiiiii! It's my birthday and I love you all so damn much. Celebrate by supporting indie #TTRPG creators with a purchase, tip, or signal boost. Extra candles on the cake for supporting BIPOC and LGTIQA+ creators specifically 🥰 A diverse community is a strong community, and that's the best gift of all

I've had about five dreams now about harps & my mama didn't raise no fool. On a side #TTRPG project, Dressed to Kill (D2K), I'm creating PC classes after years of abstaining from them (nothing against classes, I just got burned out) Is there going to be a harp-wielding badass included? Wait & see 💅

And...we...are...live! And unlike our feline friends, this jam only has one life not nine so make sure to head over, sign up, and submit your own cat-related creation today. #ttrpg projects, video games, esoterica felinis...all are welcome! Now's the purr-fect time to join 🐾

We're Live! Submit your finished projects, whether existing or you're just very fast. Please tell people about the jam! Let's get this bundle as big as we can. Having a theme is both an advantage and obstacle, but the more people who submit projects, the more we tip the scales towards advantage.

Howdy! Quick & dirty LLG #ttrpg projects update: - Cat Jam first draft is close. Cat vs sci-fi horror - Finished first draft of Dreadful's rules & next is The Dread's chapter - Love letter open world crime games called Love & Crime in '99 IP - Protecting my peace (2025 sucked 😮‍💨) How about you?

Hey everybody, back after like a 1000 years to announce I'll be participating in the Cat Jam and so should you! Sign up today and get ready to throw some dough towards a great cause 🐈

I'm hosting a new jam and bundle: Cat Jam! Open to all project types, so long as they feature CATS! The jam runs through April, accepting new and existing cat-themed entries. itch.io/jam/charity-... All proceeds for the subsequent charity bundle go to Seattle Area Feline Rescue. #catjam #gamedev

Howdy fellow #ttrpg designers, players, and all around nerds! I've finally emerged from my self-imposed exile/hermitage and I'm ready to reconnect with my community. I realize, now more than ever, I need to surround myself with people I trust and admire. My people ♥️ So, what are we working on?!

Y'all need to check out the read through of Whimsy's badass and heartfelt ode to old school side-scrollers and jrpg's. Fascinating to read the ideas and inspo behind the #ttrpg design, delivered in the cheeky yet passionate voice of one of my favorite game designers 👏👏👏

I'm going to read through my TTRPG Fight Item Run. It's a love letter to old video games through an intentionally nostalgic lens, recreating that feeling of watching your older siblings play through MegaMan or FF7 and how they must be magic for shepherding something so cool. #ttrpg #gamedev

Cover for Fight Item Run, subtitled "A Pixelated TTRPG." It's further described as "Designed by Whimsy Machine" and "Powered by the Apocalypse." The cover illustration is pixel art of a knight and wizard facing off against a fire-breathing dragon.

Howdy everybody! Still plugging away at my game jam and planning larger #ttrpg projects. QQ: Anybody got some tips for getting traction around here? I'm trying to interact with more posts, but it just doesn't seem as effective as over on Threads. All suggestions are welcome!

I'm working on an #rpg that emulates car heists ala Gone in 60 Seconds/the F&F franchise that uses a Sorry! board for the Board Game Reimagined game jam (link below) 😵‍💫 What is the weirdest and most enjoyable #ttrpg accoutrement/resolution system you've played with before? itch.io/jam/board-ga...

Board Games Reimagined! TTRPG Jam

A game jam from 2025-01-09 to 2025-02-24 hosted by Whimsy Machine. Board games have been around forever, so it's high time we pay our respects by harvesting them for all the tasty bits worth stealing!...
