Do you like digging into your #ttrpg characters? Do you like looking at art? Then Diptych is for you! It is a character study game designed to be played in a museum or gallery and uses artwork to prompt exploration into the minds of TTRPG characters. meghanlynnftw.itch.io/diptych

i am now 2 for 2 in recommending the perfect TTRPG for @calebzane.bsky.social specifically

Caleb Zane Huett@calebzane.bsky.social · 21h ago

@possibleworlds.bsky.social brought it to my attention and then i cried laughing on my first game of it. Play a sort of unhinged lightweight scene-based rpg with interesting and challenging prompting in one hour!!

the first scene we drew had a nonsensical and unwinnable minigame that was both definitely an error and an incredible galaxy brain mirroring of the premise of the scene leading to automatic failure. it is now one of my favorite cards. nobi nobi is perfect even when it's messing up

i've said it before and i'll say it again: Nobi Nobi Cube

Caleb Zane Huett@calebzane.bsky.social · 21h ago

one of the best things i got and played at gen con was Nobi Nobi. troty (tiny rpg of the year)

I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...

Welcome to Big Wheel One, where the 309th Drive is soon to start. As the race spans an entire lap of the wheel, take pit stops. Hang out with your crew. Meet the locals.

the ennies were never designed (see @explorersdesign.bsky.social for more on this www.explorersdesign.com/ennies-3/) but have been playtested for over 20 years. if tweaks aren’t enough to fix consistent problems, at a point you need to admit your game isn’t for everyone—it favors a specific audience

Possible Worlds Games@possibleworlds.bsky.social · 4d ago

industry awards are a net good for the material difference they make in artists’ lives—especially in a culture that doesn’t value creative labor nearly enough—but the persistent voting and logistical issues the ennies face (or invite) each year necessitate change beyond adding or editing categories

the Ennies amirite

If you are at Gen Con you can check out a production proof of Homecoming to oooh and ahhh over the gorgeous box and card art! (And if you do that you are legally obligated to tell me about it so I can live vicariously through you.)

Just dropped off production proofs of Homecoming and CHUCK to the @possibleworlds.bsky.social booth 1553 at gen con and they’re gorgeous there’s also a wet proof of REALIS 👀

We're just short of 900 preorders for this, which is amazing. If we hit 1,000 I can guarantee you that we will create the science fiction version of this.

if you missed our secret SDCC panel that just happened, we just teased something

Ethical art is art that treats everyone involved in the process (from materials to production to creative labor) fairly and with respect—not art that adheres to a specific set of content guidelines. Don't confuse genre trappings or marketing buzzwords with the real obligations we have to each other.

I love dice rolls in videogames, I love the way they invite the player to narrate their experience in relation to unexpected events, I love their connections to the history of chance as a storytelling tool, I love the way they attack the player's tendency to want everything their own way.

Successfully cured Ironshanks. Caves of Qud more like Games of Gud.
