Day 5 of Ennie voting Certain parts of Whispers of the Woods went through sensitivity consulting with @peculiarplanets.com who did an amazing job, brainstorming ideas and helping me to navigate the linguistic, historical and modern contexts of transgender experience. Thank you Anna!
There is no way anyone could make this work as a TTRPG. And yes, this is a challenge.
Day 4 of Ennie voting This fantastic cover for Whispers of the Woods, nominated for the Best Adventure - Short, was made by Artur Biernacki (art) and Mike Hyslop (cover graphic design). I still have Artur's original art, and it's even better in real life!
Day 3 of Ennie voting Those beautiful layouts in "Odyssey of the Giant" wouldn't exist if not for @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social. Luna's design direction came from a deep understanding of what the game is going to be. All the fonts and elements are there to best convey the ambiance of the game.
Day 2 of Ennie voting Odyssey of the Giant promises a cozy, fantasy-like, maybe a bit melancholic experience. This is all thanks to amazing Marta Szu. Her cover art is a thing of beauty and the way she illustrated all the giants is just breathtaking. I can't imagine anyone else working on this game!
"Odyssey of the Giant" and "Whispers of the Woods," were nominated for the ENNIE Awards. I'd absolutely love to get your vote, I'm not gonna lie. But at the same time, I'm pretty naive and I believe in fair competition. So please, vote for my games ONLY if you truly think they deserve to win.
"Vamps with guns" is now available on @itch.io! VAMPS WITH GUNS is a rules-light tabletop RPG that fits on one pamphlet. All you need is a fistful of d6 and one rainy night. Roll dice, count your Hits, and spend Style on the kind of ridiculous, cinematic flourishes. Link in the thread below ⬇️
New game release tomorrow. Fits on one pamphlet. For fans of flicks like Underworld, Blade, Matrix. Gonzo action, all style, some substance. Cover art by one and only @brendanalbetski.bsky.social Mark your calendars. 📆
So... Who would like a t-shirt like that? I might do a little preorder to see how many people would be interested!
Two of my games just got nominated for @ennie-awards.bsky.social! :O I'm humbled, honored, and quite shocked to be honest! Best Adventure – Short Form: Whispers of the Woods Best Solo Game: Odyssey of the Giant Thank you so, so much everyone who contributed to this! I love you all <3 <3
Fuck you Sony. I hope people will break and pirate the shit out of PS6.
What are the best TTRPGs that fit on a pamphlet (or set of pamphlets)? I'll start - CBR+PNK by @cabinetofcuriosities.games!
@vaultcrawler.bsky.social is a master of creating a dense atmosphere. In Khthon his skill will be on full display. Just look at some of the characters you will be able to play as and/or meet deep in the underground world of our upcoming game. Follow for more via the link below!
You know what to do with this table. Use it for CORP BORG, MORK ORG (@beyondcataclysm.co.uk), Triangle Agency (@hauntedtable.games), or even stuff like Mothership or Delta Green. Any corporate/office themed game with some crazy stuff in it will do. heltung-storytelling.itch.io/160000-ways-...

On a diet. My go to breakfast: 250ml milk, scoop of whey protein, one banana, 20g oats, one spoon peanut butter. Had a small burger for lunch. It's not too bad, let's see how long I'll last.
Well, here's the deal. I've got only a handful of CORP BORGs left. So: - They're on sale - I will sign them - We ship worldwide (excluding the US) There are still copies in retail. This is the last call if you want to support me directly and get you copy signed! shop.heltung.online/products/cor...
I mean, it's probably the same when comes to Player Characters in TTRPGs. On that note, Disco Elysium-like tabletop rpg when?
