It's another #selfpromosaturday and you know what to do! Im personally looking for #indie #ttrpgs but I'm cool with anything you want to show off (SFW preferred).

So I'm deep in the muck of my D&D 5e conversion project, hard at the monster section. Going you've the aberration in the SRD, they're either boring, or distinctly D&D (or both). So I made something new using the existing traits that's kind of something between the xenomorphs and Starnger Things 1/3

Another great bit of content on table play! You guys are killing it today! Good advice and tips, and another like minded individual who promotes having fun with the game narratives

As I'm chipping away at my GMing chapter, I come across this posted on my self promo Saturday thread and this guy has it nailed right on the head! While I express communication as a key, I did not express trust as a component and I think I'll have to ammend that. I hope to see a lot more, brother!

thanks for the space! I create and post new homebrew every Tuesday! I post about my thoughts for a fulfilling ttrpg game, and have added a video series where I talk about tips for a good game, as well as deep dives into specifics and homebrew! www.youtube.com/shorts/4iqCq...

It's been a hectic few weeks, but we're here for another #selfpromosaturday! Showcase your #WIP or completed #ttrpg, #podcast, #streamer, #art, or #writing! I myself have had a busy time for the last month or so. 1/9

My recommendation is GMBinder.com It fell off on development but it's still a perfectly viable tool. With some CSS know-how, you can set the style to whatever you like and just type. The layout is done semi-automatically, you still have to place your headers, page and column breaks,

Folx who make games, what's your go-to program for layout design? Adobe InDesign? Affinity Publisher? Something else? As someone still relatively new to making games, I've stuck to digital thus far so Canva has been enough to get going with, but in future I want to produce physical stuff. Ta! 🙏🏻

This is a stylish looking game! Interesting setting I think

Riddles & Runes RPG@riddlesrunes.bsky.social · 2y ago

R&R is an indie #fantasy #ttrpg with simple rules and inexpensive books. The two core rulebooks are $6 each, and only require a 12-sided die (for ability checks) and a 6-sided die (for skill checks). Experience points are cashed in to improve abilities, and increase Life Points and Magic Points.

It's another #selfpromosaturday so share your #indie #ttrpg with me! This is also a callout to those creators! I have been working with a small group to get a community and a zine together that helps spotlight these games! Share this around so we can make a better #ttrpgcommunity

🧐‼️

Studio Hex@studiohexttrpgs.bsky.social · 2y ago

For those unaware, we've had a hand in the zine's creation! If you are interested, give it a quick read! If you are an indie creator yourself, don't hesitate to submit your project to it! #selfpromo #zine #indie #TTRPGsky bsky.app/profile/1sic...

A few weeks ago, we had the Polygon debacle where they told indie game makers its time to speak up. And so they spoke up about how polygon rejected their submission because they were indie. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to create a space and zine highlighting indie games 1/4

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I hear the sentiment, I do. However. It's not just about a game being good or not (subjectivity aside). An #indie #ttrpg can come from anywhere and anyone. Years ago when I released exclusively on dtrpg, I was going against a tide of tens of thousands of competitors, each good in their own right 1/

Ok so like... what if I did start a simple "magazine" that highlights #indie #ttrpgs exclusively. I've been kicking around the idea for a bit now about doing review work, shifting off of making my own games because there simply is no spotlight for most of us. 1/5

Ok but now that 5 minutes have passed and I've thought on it... why not just make one? I saw a few posts under the one I quoted where people made submissions and never heard back. What if we as a community, just made a newsletter, blog, or digital magazine that runs exclusively on indie ttrpg news?

Xavier Pearce@xp-deadmage.bsky.social · 2y ago

What if... unironically... there was a magazine geared towards exclusively covering indie TTRPGs. If such a one does exist I wish I knew of it. All my posts about wanting to know what's new on the scene have rarely been about mainstream. I want Underground ttrpg news!

It’s time for independent tabletop role-playing games to get loud

"It’s time for independent tabletop role-playing games to get loud." Meanwhile, everyone in the comments is rightfully clowning on Polygon for the lack of coverage of indie TTRPGs. Post about your game in the comments, lets make indie #TTRPGs heard loud and clear.

I haven't read them so I can't speak for them, but the author of one of my favorite zombie series also wrote a werewolf series. Shoutout to Keith C. Blackmore. If you start with the Mountain Man Saga to see what I'm a fan of, you'll see the subtle shift in his storytelling over time.

Pam, Godkillingway v.2026, Patch "Even Eepier"@thedovetailor.bsky.social · 2y ago

By the way. Reading this series I am reading has reminded me how I don't get a lot of good werewolf media in my life, and that is prolly a mix of a lack of good ones and me not being aware of them. Hit me with your favorite werewolf novels/short stories.

It seems like a fun little adventure to have! Also, there's a discount link to the product tucked away on the linked page, for those interested

Elln The Witch@ellnthewitch.bsky.social · 2y ago

I’m happy to share my first solo adventure!! Aboard the little secret is a solo adventure inspired by OSR games but also easily adaptable to other systems. It was created in a sandbox style, granting players the freedom to explore the adventure and its events. shorturl.at/IeAB1

Congrats on reaching the goal! Best of luck, but it seems like you know what you're doing by now

Hey Xavier! Our sixth Monsters of Rock adventure is now funding! 🤘🤘🤘 Help us reach our first stretch goal for Christmas! A drop in casino and heist - more than one way to break the bank at The Ace of Spades! ♠️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/son...

This seems like an interesting concept!

Studio Hex@studiohexttrpgs.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hey hey! We just launched the pre-launch page for our game, Hellborn Descended, a TTRPG set in a modern Hell, where you play as demons, angels, and sinners working as mercenaries! If you like the project, please give us a follow on KS! www.kickstarter.com/projects/stu...

Get new pajamas, a new robe or sweater, new socks, and underwear. All comfortable materials, of course. Draw a hot bath, shower off before the bath gets too cold. Scrub yourself real good in the bath; it's imperative! Put on all those unused, comfy clothes. Do whatever lazy day things you want.

WINTER BREAK! Anyone have some #cozy traditions I can steal?

A new #selfpromosaturday appears!!! Don't just bring your #ttrpg #wip, I want all forms of #art #music #podcasts! All #writers & #creators welcome! (But please keep things SFW) Link to your projects, share some stuff and try getting a little signal boost from here

Man, I didn't even shamelessly plug the game 🤣 www.deadmagician.itch.io/www So, in the past, I've had problems with collaborations and the usual remedy for this is releasing titles under CC licenses... however, I wouldn't object to a collab now.

Xavier Pearce@xp-deadmage.bsky.social · 2y ago

It might be a bit early for a #wipwednesday update, but my #microrpg #ttrpg i just released has some more stock art added, mostly by @vageliokal.bsky.social . If it's just another Heartbreakers game, cool, but definitely check out the artist; I've been a fan for years!

Hopefully this boost helps! (I've been chugging away on my main projects (SAGAs and the accompanying setting Einherjar), but randomly tossed together a new game in about 20 minutes and expanded it over the next few hours. I tossed it through some layout work but still WIP deadmagician.itch.io/www)

My #SelfPromoSaturday is going to be devoted to this. My beloved cat has a dislodged tooth. We need to get it fixed ASAP but it's really expensive. Please share. All my love to y'all! fundrazr.com/KittyJa... #MutualAid #TTRPGCommunity #MutualAidRequest

One more #selfpromosaturday! I'm looking for #ttrpg but also love seeing #art #music #music #podcast #streamer #writer #wip and all #creative projects are welcome here

It's my birthday!! Share my art? Maybe like? Maybe follow?

I always laid out my overall expectations, and then I'll ask if anyone would like to add to or change anything. Listen and compromise where necessary. Then, I ask what they want to personally gain from the experience. Pay. Attention. The remedy for schedule conflicts is making them want to play.
