I had an amazing weekend, as always at Quest Con Orlando this year. Ran some familiar games (Pirate Borg & DUKK Borg), some new variations (Blades '68), & something new for me (Regency Cthulhu). All was amazing w/ awesome players. Got to see lots of friends we don't see too often and meet new ones.

Looking for pirate-y goodness with a collection of maps and encounters? Well you're in luck because @limithron.bsky.social's Pirate Map Collection launches tomorrow! Over 100 battle maps w/ encounters, hundreds of tables, and even some short adventures. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lim...

Coming soon: Limithron's Pirate Map Collection

100 curated battle maps and the Encounter Atlas, filling out every corner of your nautical-themed campaign. #5e #PirateBorg

If I can find my copy of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies… I suppose that can count as research for Regency Cthulhu, right? #cthulhu #regencycthulhu #ttrpg #janeausten

Got to run a fantastic #BrindlewoodBay session again tonight. But first I made them a newspaper clipping for their first murder solve from last session. These old ladies had a daring time tonight with some close calls but solved another murder! Love this game from @gauntletrpg.bsky.social

Step two in my research to run Regency Cthulhu at Quest Con Orlando. Gotta do my homework to run the best game I can! #cthulhu #bridgerton #ttrpg

Getting set up for some gaming this weekend with the little man. Time for some Halo Flashpoint. It’s been too long. #halo #haloflashpoint #tabletop

So, I spilled soda on my oversized plain black mat on my desk and had to clean it. I grabbed one of our other playmats as a temporary solution. I think perhaps the soda can wasn't cursed (there is a whole journey of mishaps) and it was just getting me a more appropriate backdrop for the month.

Had such an AMAZING time with a new group of Murder Mavens playing Brindlewood Bay last night. They solved the murder of author Herb L.L. Paxton in A Throng of Vice and Liars. So excited to start a new campaign and see the Midwives of the Fragrant Void unfold for them. #BrindlewoodBay #TTRPG

Are you ready for knitting, tea & murrrder? Take on the role of the elderly women who find themselves solving actual mysteries in their quaint little New England town, which may also be the home of a dark occult conspiracy. Ep 30 has a bite-sized look at Brindlewood Bay from @gauntletrpg.bsky.social

I love Brian’s work, and he’s an awesome human as well, so was an easy choice for us to back. Cannot wait to play this.

20 Minute Tabletop@20mintabletop.com · 5mo ago

We 💜 to back a TTRPG kickstarter. And there have been some great ones lately. So let's share some. We've backed this one for Nagval's Curse for #PirateBorg (one of our favorites to play and run) from @briancolin.com at Creature Curation. Love his work on Vast Grimm so can't wait to see this! #ttrpg

Been heads down making a two page spread for an idea for the @gamefound.bsky.social RPG party but wanted to share this little capy character concept I made with free assets to help show off my idea, and he’s just too cute.

Time is running out to back The Black Ballad Second Chances for #ShadowDark and support a print run. Episode 26 is all about this kickstarter direct with Erik and Rick from Storyteller's Forge. Listen to find out all about it and support the kickstarter now! 20mintabletop.com/blog/ep026-f...

I've been absolutely loving all the Artemis coverage. The fact that we can stream live from space is amazing. Of course, that mixes with my urge to play more games and I look at my section of space & sci-fi TTRPG books going which one should we play now? Anyone up for a one-shot? #ttrpg #space

Good ol’ Jerry “Blueblack” Smith. With his dual knives Blue and Black. He charged a giant crab, crit it, was knocked out by said crab, left behind by his crew while they got rich, then woke up later to start his own adventures. All in all… pure Pirate Borg goodness. #garycon #pirateborg #ttrpg

Yeah… I’m one for five on table pictures. Maybe I’ll remember for Blades in the Dark tomorrow…

20 Minute Tabletop@20mintabletop.com · 8mo ago

Turns out @johnwickee.morkor.studio is still quite bad at remembering to take table pictures, but the Brindlewood Bay game was so successful that a player asked to join to play more online with us AND 2 people not in the game when they found out he was running the game the really wanted to get into

It was such a find chat with the Rainbow Dice Club on 20 Minute Tabletop. Have a listen and be sure to check out their Candela Obscura mini series on RDC Presents on your podcast platform of choice. It is off to a fantastic start!

20 Minute Tabletop@20mintabletop.com · 8mo ago

It's a new Friday with Friends! This week John sits down with Arianna, Dusty, & Wayra of the @rainbowdiceclub.bsky.social. We’ll talk about their new Candela Obscura mini series, their ongoing Tales of Three D&D series, as well as the community they’ve created. So grab your spot and let’s chat!

Had an absolute blast running my Borg games today. Both DUKK Borg and Pirate Borg went great. AND for Once I remembered to take a picture with my group at the end. Pirate Borg Island in the water park was awesome. But I do with they’d let us walk the plank! #garycon #pirateborg #dukkborg #ttrpg

We always try to hit a new game shop or indie bookstore, so this gave us a perfect two in one option! Highly recommend a stop by!

20 Minute Tabletop@20mintabletop.com · 8mo ago

Stopped by @studiomoonfall.bsky.social in Kenosha on our way to @garycon.com. Such a great shop with a lot of great books and charm. Highly recommend if you’re in the area or in your way to / from the convention.

It was such a pleasure to sit down and chat with Erik and Rick. Cannot wait for this #Kickstarter to launch. Have a listen all about Black Ballad Second Chances for Shadowdark today! #shadowdark #ttrpg #podcast

Very excited that my physical books - and stickers - have shown up for Why We Fight from @sdrgames.bsky.social. I immediately jumped at this Kickstarter. I love that it is a zero prep and GMless gameplay. And what's not to love about being "eco-punks fighting fascism"? #TTRPG #tabletop #WhyWeFight

I'm not as much of a fan of "resolutions" but here is my Side Quests list for 2026 ◦ Relaunch @20mintabletop.com podcast with regular episodes ◦ 10 episodes of Friday with Friends interviews ◦ Publish two adventures ◦ Create video content for 20 Minute Tabletop
