Seeing tattoo artists offering services for trade and I'm like - I can't do it as a therapist but I can do it as a GM :D

I've been writing small roleplaying games since January and my big project has been BUSHPUNK, a game about the Resistance in a dystopian near-future Australia. Part of selling games hss been to look at raising funds for an artist - but I think now the goal is to grow my own skills to do the art.

Would there be any interest in a ttrpg about teams of mech pilots fighting back after being forced into gladiatorial events to sate the bloodlust of the tech oligarchs who now rule the world from their bunkers?Think Hunger Games meets Robot Jox Asking for a friend. Its me.

I'm proud to announce that I've just published Heroes & Hearthfires, a TTRPG about epic adventurers settling down to open a tavern after the completion of their quest. H&H uses a 2d12 dice system to bring Order vs Chaos to the game mechanics. downunderverse.itch.io/heroes-heart...

Practising the cover art for my upcoming game, Heroes & Hearthfires, a cozy-chaotic game of mythic heroes running a tavern. #ttrpg #dnd #indie

I had an incredible time running the Hope's Last Day scenario of the Alien RPG by @freeleagueunbound.bsky.social The fact the game is like "Hey if theyre dilly-dallying around or being hypercautious HERES A LIST OF WAYS TO MAKE THEM MOVE" Gang had an incredible time. There was much yelling! :D

I quickly wrote Old McDonalds Critter Caper today to play with friends I was anticipating Chicken Run. I got Animal Farm. Oh dear.

Hacking Daggerheart a little to write an "adventurers settle down and open a tavern" game Should be fun!

vt.tiktok.com/ZSVtVk62G/ An update on my BG3 D&D campaign, Rise of the Absolute! I should've posted about this entire damn campaign BUT last night my party struggled against Gortash SO they called Raphael and asked for his assistance he requested first choice of loot He has taken the Steel Watch.

My Baldurs Gate 3 campaign continues tonight! They snuck in and got the warlock crowned as archduke of Baldurs Gate and now theyre gonna get into some *kingdom management*

Playing an RPG I wrote (Critter Caper DOWN UNDER) and a player crocodile ate most of a five gallon barrel of spaghetti *the horror*

So I'm reading #DungeonCrawlerCarl Its rare that something is as strongly recommended to me as this has been, by as many people. I went in without knowing much more than how to recognise someone cosplaying the character of Carl. It took me a bit to figure out what itch it scratched exactly

Tempted to do a read of Dungeon Crawler Carl - might post about it. I'm fascinated by it though because what I hear about it doesn’t really interest me but the rate to which it grabs readers IS really interesting.

I'm *highkey* tempted to run some non-therapy professional games and run things from specific niches Like my Call of Cthulhu "The Mummy" game, my D&D 5e BG3 campaign, the Game of Thrones TTRPG and other specific experiences.

Someone on Tiktok said that they'd like to play D&D every day and I'd like to say that as a DM - I'm IN. Let's go.

I need a #BobsBurgers episode plot where Mister Fischoeder is entertaining the idea of allowing a Burger King on/near the Wharf, which causes Bob a great deal of stress. But upon learning there IS no such burger monarch that he could meet with, Calvin completely cancels the deal.

What happens when a samurai, a pirate, a cowboy and a Victorian thief board a train? MURDER. A game based on the classic Tumblr post by @prokopetz.bsky.social downunderverse.itch.io/a-matter-of-...

A Matter of Honour Aboard the Union Pacific by Mike

A fun game of historical coincidence, blood and honour

Hey fam! I'm running a brief workshop on running horror TTRPGs and how you can navigate player safety in games that can approach heavy topics! Monday 21st, hit me up! #vtm #cthulhu #ttrpg events.humanitix.com/storyteller-...

Storyteller Academy: GM-ing for Horror (Vampire, Cthulhu)

A short webinar on the topic of being a Storyteller, Keeper or otherwise GM-ing horror TTRPGs

Doing some comparative reading to determine the differences between D&D 3.5 and the WoW TTRPG. Its fantastic how the Swords & Sorcery team really built on 3.5 and made a kickass game. Hoping the D&DxWoW game brings this energy.

My BG3 D&D campaign hit a wild new high last night Our Warlock successfully assumed the place of G and was crowned Archduke of Baldur's Gate. The defence is gonna get WILD

I'm strongly considering a TTRPG actual play podcast. I've had a couple good runs on Twitch and wanna get back into it. But I gotta figure out - what to run? :)

CAPCHA: "Find the squares with a motorcycle." CAPCHA immediately shows a vespa. CAPCHA: "DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?!"

Need a vibes roll in an RPG and you're not sure what to do? Pose it as a yes/no and ask a Magic 8-Ball.

I've spent tonight writing a Delta Green Opera based on the TV show Alone, where survivalists brave the elements and isolation. I'm *intrigued* to see where it goes.

I am incredibly excited. Vampire was the first TTRPG I ran recreationally and its had some of the stories and moments that have inspired and terrified my tables. I wanna be running this *asap* and I'm so glad there's player tools for it already! app.demiplane.com/nexus/worldo...

I started running Monster of the Week a year ago and centred it on a location I discovered while propping Delta Green; that Innsmouth (Lovecraft), Derry (King) and Salem (most witch fiction) form a triangle of famously evil cities. What's in the middle and why? Amaranthe MA. @evilhat.bsky.social

A friend is gonna run #Bushpunk for our table! I'm hyped! I have no idea what to play. Probably a Saboteur.

Fleshed out rules and details in Bushpunk today I'm so damn proud of this game
