I stopped by @sidequestbooks.bsky.social this weekend while in the Boston area and picked up these zines. Such a charming shop clearly imbued with care! Thank you for the laughs about whether I would outlive the shop as I decided whether to join the shop loyalty program.

Truly so excited for this collab with @falconwizard.bsky.social 🎉 We’re putting together an awesome workshop series for a small group of folx to explore the many facets of facilitating roleplaying games. More details coming soon! Sign-up here to be the first to know: tinyurl.com/MoreThanMech...

🚨 Announcement!! 🚨 @worlds4all.bsky.social and I are bringing y'all something new and exciting! More Than Mechanics is going to be a multi-week, cohort-based series of workshops designed to help people who want to improve their GM skills or have wanted to get started in the world of being a GM!

Hey ya know what? Some days? Some days, @ipr.bsky.social features your sapphic, tarot-based solo TTRPG Kickstarter in their newsletter. And that’s a pretty great day. 🥹 www.kickstarter.com/projects/que...

TTRPG community, I could use your help sharing my newest project! 🎲 I'm an indie designer from Mexico and I just released a lo-fi horror RPG where you physically stack a dice tower to uncover clues. When gravity takes over and the tower falls, the horror begins. Link below! ⬇️

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

You can’t move for pale kings. It’s wall to wall pale kings out there

fantasy writers love a pale king

I’m so lucky to have a local bookstore that home brews games about lesbian power dynamics like it’s no big deal

There are no good AI Dungeon Masters out there because AI can't have childhood trauma, repressed sexual fantasies, and an unfinished fantasy novel they secretly want to beta-test with their players.

I get to do an interview about The Ritual in like 30 minutes and it's really validating that someone asked and my heart's all full and stuff 🥰

War Pigs says, aren't you tired of being a nice little goblin? Don't you want to ride your pig into battle and hulk out? Playing War Pigs = a shortcut to the feeling of late-night, sleep-deprived sillies. (& watch for a familiar face in the kickstarter supplement...) questwardpress.itch.io/war-pigs

WAR PIGS: A TTRPG of Chaos and Goblins by Questward Press

A GMless Honey Heist hack. You're goblins riding your huge pigs into battle.

Listen. And so what if I made a game explicitly for me that just HAPPENS to resonate with others? What then??

S. Kaiya J. || Mirror-lock Atelier@mirror-lock.bsky.social · 4w ago

This Kickstarter had me at “you play as the Supplicant, who wants nothing more than to serve a powerful and ambitious woman with whom you have a complicated and intense relationship”

Um I beg your finest pardon, we’re at HOW many followers on the pre-launch page?? Well, it’s good to know I’m not alone in my sapphic desperate yearning for sapphic desperate yearning… Thanks for the support, y’all 🥰 www.kickstarter.com/projects/que...
