Just realized I am absolutely using replies wrong to try to keep tacking things onto a thread. So, here's a sub-thread (is that even a thing?) of a cool SRD in the TTRPG Collective Bundle ( itch.io/b/3934/ttrpg... ). #ttrpg

J?@jquestionmark.bsky.social · yesterday

One more for the moment - Line in the Sand: lithuasil.itch.io/lits This isn't actually a #ttrpg proper, but more of an SRD that outlines a tactical combat setup that brings the best parts of grid-based combat without fiddling with a grid, and terrain, and templates, and etc.

Taking a genre seriously and just having a good time with that (instead of winking every time you do anything that genre is known for) makes for such incredible and enjoyable stories.

So, for the (very tiny) audience that I have on here, you may have noticed the extremely cool bundle I keep reposting things from: itch.io/b/3934/ttrpg... The TTRPG Collective put together this awesome set of stuff, and it's definitely one to go check out. #ttrpg

For #FollowFriday (is that still a thing?), it would be super awesome if you went to this bundle page, opened contributor's profiles, and gave them follows. If you get the bundle too, that'd be amazing, but putting indie creators on your radar is so immensely helpful. #ttrpg itch.io/b/3934/ttrpg...

I posted a devlog for (Everyone Roll A) Perception Check, which is currently in the very cool TTRPG Collective Anniversary Bundle. @jayeeis.bsky.social ran some super helpful playtests of the new version, and this game is turning into something very exciting. whimsy-machine.itch.io/perception-c...

Some days I look at the things I make and think, "wow, this is pretty slick. I'm pleased with how it turned out." And then other days (today, obviously, hence this post), I think over my ttrpg ideas and think, "wow, you thought this was exciting?" Woof.

I just recently watched Nightbreed for the first time, and just... oh wow. That movie did things to my brain I was not expecting. I'm not really sure how I avoided it for so long, and I'm not sure if I'm sad I did, or if I'm ecstatic I finally saw it when my brain was ready for it.

In one week I click the button and let slip the dogs of fractal history… Tuesday October 6 www.kickstarter.com/projects/lam...

Coming soon: Microscope (2nd Edition)

The fractal game of epic histories

This game looks really amusing, and has some incredible contributors. The premise is cute, and I can't wait to get it to the table with my family. It's quite close to funding, and it blows my mind it hasn't already. So, uh, maybe some folks can help fix that?

Kelly Whyte@kellywhyte.bsky.social · 2w ago

Our campaign for Sage Council is in its final week, and we're 90% funded! Help us cross the line and get a great #ttrpg about councilors, corruption and complete chaos! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lot... #kiwirpg #fantasy

Finally back to looking at games from the #TTRPG Collective jam, I want to take a look at Our Roots Grow Strong (ORGS) by @laughinglarkgames.bsky.social . laughing-lark-games.itch.io/our-roots-gr... (oh my, it's going to take a year to go through these at this rate)

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

In memory of the translator, Eien ni Hen. May she rest in peace.

We talked about Julia Ecklar a good bit, but what about the songs on Space Heroes & Other Fools? This is a powerful #filk album, and I think the right answer is to just jump straight into my favourite song on it: Darkness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N-v...

I picked up a physical copy of this game at PAX from Indiepocalypse, and I cannot wait to play more of it. It's weird, inventive, and something like comfy (?) in all the best ways. I will definitely be throwing this on in the background the next time I play some more.

In case you want to start your week off with a six hour dive into Purgatory Dungeoneer's 420 different characters and a tier list that covers all of them, that sure is an option for you (script and game in the description if you aren't watching all that) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIay...

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

I've been trying to do a post a day, but I'm running out of day rapidly and haven't written a post yet. I just had a great Wednesday night #ttrpg session, so rather than the other dives I've been doing, I want to talk about low effort sessions in a trad game.
