Starting off #GameHoleCon with The Last Caravan!

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

youtube.com/live/VKARTzk... I'll be live at 9 ET with @tatooineunited.bsky.social and the lovely folks at AARPG tonight, chatting about Last Caravan!

A Cars & Aliens RPG Interview with Ted Bushman, creator of The Last Caravan

NOVA is an important game for me. It wasn't always the game it is. When that burned down, it drove me to create the LUMEN system, and NOVA was the first game to come from that. LUMEN sort of "put me on the map" and NOVA was a really big part of it. So thank you for all your support today 💜

I miss the optimism, creativity and collaboration of peak TTRPG Twitter. Miss feeling connected. We're all just doing what we can to survive, thinking of the days when we were thriving and working our asses off to get back to that place. Who's got a project going? Let's share some joy!

more of this complex spaceship stuff.

Running a KS with a toddler will certainly be super easy, barely an inconvenience. It means I won't be able to do as much promo myself, which means I'm relying on all of you to spread the word. We go NOVA next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Coming soon: NOVA 2

Pilot mechs in a sunless world in this exciting second edition of the NOVA TTRPG!

Woooo! Last Caravan is incredible, and this adds dogs. So that makes it whatever is better than incredible.

Today on backerkit, we've finally released our early access version of WESTWARD BOUND, our "oops, all dogs" standalone Last Caravan game about a group of dogs finding their humans after an alien invasion transformed North America. I want to tell you about it! (1/?)

Can't tell you how much I love the Cat in Westward Bound :) My favorite ability is probably this...

Fun fact: Westward Bound, our "Oops, All Good Bois" standalone Last Caravan game, includes THE CAT as an archetype -- a delightfully weird character imprint that includes abilities like cheating death and breaking the laws of gravity :)

A question for @tedbushman.bsky.social , have you considered making a “Bad Kitty” for this game? One of the players has a Bobcat, and I really want to play it mostly to antagonize the Good Boi.

VOD for our “The Last Caravan” Character Creation session is up on YouTube. @mythworks.bsky.social Just ignore the intro video… we’re a little rusty and forgot to swap it out. 😂 The Last Caravan - A Cars & Aliens RPG | Live Play | Episode 1 youtube.com/live/HlPoDAV...
