Back at the pool 🏊 reading another great #TTRPG from the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social game jam.
Hey. Going good. I missed the chance to book a table at TRPGサミット. I'm looking for vendors to sell the new CoinSides. Do you know anyone who would want to sell these?
@manysidedmedia.bsky.social time to upadte your linktr-ee links. BlueSky is also not working.
Reading a few #onepagerpg #ttrpg from the #1prpgjam by @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social between swims. Making a binder this year and retroactively adding more.
And we are done with #playtesting over 100 games of Juicy Fruit Salad, the next #smallbox #cardgame from EX FIRST GAMES. JFS was designed, illustrated, and totally #humanmade by Charles Ward.
Thanks for sharing ENI Second Edition. As a WIP is gets updated often. Sometimes drastically.
Been working on ENI 2nd Ed for 2 months, daily editing, even at the pool. I think I have a good UNIVERSAL FRAMEWORK for role-playing games in 8k words. I've condensed it into an A4 page for the 1 Page RPG Jam on itch (kicking off soon). Can I PLEASE ask you to give this 1-Page a read?
A sneak peek at the 2026 Casino CoinSides samples. I can show you these because the designs have improved and the molds are being redone. Looking forward to sharing more as we get closer to crowdfunding. #dicespinners #coinsides #noveltydice #casinodice #dice #casino
After a solid month of daily editing, a LOT OF HELP from dozens of proofreaders, and a ton of inspiration from YouTube reviewers, game designers, other games, etc... The SECOND EDITION of ENI is being released! It has grown, it has improved, and it has yet to be tested! 1/3
🔍Can you find all 9 faces 🙂 on the cards? カードに描かれた9つの顔、全部見つけられますか？👀
Looking forward to joining the #1pRPGjam on itch and collaborating with anyone. I feel like I'm putting ENI on a dating app saying this... but ::: SYSTEM SEEKS SETTING ::: #notdnd #ttrpgdesign #gamejam #zinequest #indierpgs

I got a bit sick and decided to turn my son’s old school books into 200 badges. Poo is a classic elementary school theme here. Anyway, I still feel ill, but now I have a new line to bring to @zinefarmtokyo #zinefest and drop off at my consignment stores here in Matsumoto, Japan.
Get carried away (to an alien world) with a fun little voting game in which you decide how to vote. Win points by winning the vote as you, AS ALIENS 👽, categorize all the stuff you scooped up from your last visit to PlanetEarth 🛸.
With over 150 unique illustrations to vote on, EFS The Universal Voting Game is a compact #partygame with #deduction and silly #voting. Find the human before tge game ends or someone gets 8 points. Up on #kickstarter now.
You are aliens trying to win by discovering a human on board or having the most points. Spend points to accuse a player of being human… but all alien players are pretending to be human so that you spend your points.
I can’t tell you what’s going on at the Kindergarten I teach at but we are having fun. #illustration #funnymonsters #education
