Five years ago, I received Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe by @lostwaysclub.itch.io. Tonight, I sat down with the postcard that came with it: A Light in the Dark Let me tell you how surprisingly reflective, introspective, and delightful this postcard is. Play over several nights if you can.

Fox Curio's Floating Bookshop was MADE for me. I'm not trying to brag but I DID just buy the physical edition from @sidequestbooks.bsky.social and I almost wept with delight. But it'll still be just as nice to play if you grab a digital copy! Promise! lostwaysclub.itch.io/floating-boo...

#KadenPlayed 88 The Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe #SoloTTRPG by @lostwaysclub.itch.io You play as a lighthouse keeper far away from everyone, at the edge of the universe where the world turns into fragments and nothing. lostwaysclub.itch.io/the-lighthouse-at-the-edge-of-the-universe

ARRIVING NEXT FRIDAY: fresh games by @lostwaysclub.itch.io A Dragon Walks Into A Village, a lighthearted fantasy pick-your-path gamebook and A Song For A Serpent King, a solo storytelling/songwriting game

Reminder for all TTRPG creators: DriveThru and itch suck, and while RPG Trader is a great initiative, you should ALWAYS have your own thing and redirect people to YOUR space first. Platforms come and go; try to own as much as you can. Buy a domain (~10$/y), and host a free Fourthwall store or else.

I'm really enjoying the new RPG Trader site, it's such a clean and refreshing experience. (DriveThru makes no sense to me and is so clunky) I'm still in the process of uploading all my games but you can come find me here: rpg-trader.com/creator/320/...

A lot of good stuff in here, but it’s particularly strong on OSR adventures. Dungeonheads don’t want to miss this one. Launching soon! itch.io/b/3670/typho...

ikea has this new storage chest for kid's rooms that looks like a mimic, and I applaud this kind of thinking. it's good to teach children about the dangers of mimics early, so they don't fall prey to one the first time they go adventuring

@lostwaysclub.itch.io Your game is wonderful ! Thank you so much for all your hard work! I was really looking forward to the French translation, and I'm not disappointed !

Honoured to be in great company at the IGDN Indie Groundbreaker Awards! What Should We Have Tomorrow? Has been nominated for Game of the Year and Graphic Design, and owes a lot to @lostwaysclub.itch.io who was responsible for the graphic design and game consulting. www.igdnonline.com/groundbreakers

The art of game design: the spark of creation, to find play between the confines of rules and the expression of agency, to marry the beauty of systems and aesthetic expression, The discipline of game design: fucking finish the thing
