You’ll collaborate to tell stories of esoteric landscapes, envoys of indifferent gods, and communities staying steadfast in a world bigger and stranger than themselves. Touchpoints for RYNE include Tales of Earthsea, Shadow of the Colossus, Studio Ghibli and the ever-changing tales of folklore.
RYNE is a ttrpg about communities enduring in the footsteps of failing titans. It’s a PbtA inspired game, focusing on emotion and connections. You might play a warrior sworn from violence, the speaker who interprets a titan’s song, or a spirit tethered by memory to your community.
got my copy in the post!!! I expected good things from this team, but I was absolutely floored by the size and scope of Ryne. it's really beautiful ❤️ more people need to CHECK IT OUT
RYNE: Life in the footsteps of gods A pbta slow fantasy campaign game of broken gods and diverse, stubborn humanity. Shipping soon to backers, available for sale Autumn 2026 🍂

If we're gonna survive we give everything away. Every skill you learn and every tool you build, every community you walk into and every dollar you make, if we're gonna make it your first thought has to be how to give the whole world whatever it is you find. How to make yours, ours.
New week, new games, this time from a couple crowdfunding campaigns! Legend in the Mist, by Son of Oak Game Studio Ryne, by @furtiveshambles.bsky.social My to-read pile is gonna be plenty busy for weeks to come. Can't wait to see how they've changed since the respective pre-crowdfunding betas!
My #TTRPG collection is now 2 games richer! Circles of Power, a game of sorcery and society by Jason Pitre. Our Woodland Gods, a cozy cultist storytelling game by Robert Turk / Wicked Clever Games. Really excited to give them a read and maybe bring them to the table!
Having Rascal in the TTRPG space is incredibly important, please give them whatever support you can.

Folks who have card based solo ttrpgs: do you rewrite them for digital versions (like with rollable tables) or just ask folks to print and cut? We have two solo card games we sell at in person events but have never made digital. Thoughts?
Instead of a What is an RPG section in your book, include a What Isn't an RPG section with an exhaustive list of everything that an RPG is not, so that potential players can understand the shape of a game through its absence
They're arriving 🍂🧡💛
Starting the weekend on a good note with my copy of @furtiveshambles.bsky.social 's Ryne getting to my mailbox 🌸 might spend the day browsing through it with infinite supplies of tea and cake. Congrats to the team, I'll miss receiving the email updates!
Just got our first message about a RYNE book arriving in the wild 🥲 off you go you funky little book!
Hail! We have re-enabled shipping to the EU and timed it with a review of how we handle shipping. We handle *a lot* of fulfilment for TTRPG crowdfunding projects so, in the interest of transparency, here is an abridged email we sent to creators we work with. peregrinecoast.press/blogs/news/t...
The State of Shipping in 2026
2026 has been an absolute ride for us - both as a business and as a fulfilment and shipping provider for multiple independent producers. We sent an email out to the folks we work with to inform them o...

we are, as you know, usually scrabbling around in the mud instead of Online so this sounds extremely cool and good actually
hey check this out. i'm making a themed card deck for my mudlarking game! gamefound.com/en/projects/...
As RYNE makes its way into the hands of backers, we would LOVE to chat to folks about the game before it hits general sale. We've been offline for some time though! Who are your favourite channels, reviewers, podcasts, general Cool Folks who might want to talk to us? We're interesting I promise!
Our buddies at @rascal.news do great work and need help to continue doing so. Here's the details. www.rascal.news/state-of-the...

Games You Should Play Before Playing Fiasco, in no particular order. * Play whatever you like * Even games that suck teach you stuff * Also play games that scare you sometimes * Distrust taste-makers * As a taste-maker I highly recommend Rusałka by Nick Wedig
Given the state of things re books, predatory corporations, etc... it is more imperative than ever to buy your books from indie bookstores and their online sites. Exclusively.
