We make #boardgames and #TTRPGs that support causes we believe in. Rookwood RPG / Dungeon Date / Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes/ Super Squad High. (he/him) - nerdypupgames.com
If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula (enamel pin version of the vampire from Dungeon Date!)
Features amazing artwork from @samiligia.bsky.social!
Working on a draft of our next ttrpg and this paragraph is accidentally the entire ethos of the design:
For anyone in the Dayton OH area, join me at DAY CON today and tomorrow (4/17-4/18) for demos of Super Squad High, our co-op teen superhero board game, and Hotel Olympus, our upcoming ttrpg!
For anyone in the Toledo area, you can demo Super Squad High and a bunch of other games from local designers tomorrow 3-6PM at Checkmate Games! Raffle with prizes, meet some cool designers from the area.
If you wanted to do #OnePiece as a #ttrpg, you could really cook with Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes. Misfit outlaws vs. authoritarians, over-the-top action, WEIRD FASHION, Drives=dreams. Making friends and whooping ass are equally strong options. Rules to make your own world, including an aquatic one!

I'm planning a Breathless one-shot that will use a town map exploration system inspired by Silent Hill.
In our first Kickstarter for Dungeon Date, we got SO CLOSE to funding our last stretch goal, 🧪POTIONS🧪which would add 10 new powerful treasure cards. Potions are back, expanded to 24 cards with basic rules and a Volatile Potions mode where they might explode! 💥
👹Boss Monsters 👹add a unique effect to the dungeon at the start of the game, and one hero will face off against the Boss at the end! A simple addition that adds a lot of variety and another layer of competition to your ♥️#DungeonDate ⚔️ adventures.
The ✨Dungeon Diva✨ adds a new player role to DUNGEON DATE, and expands the game to 5 players. Play a fantabulous adventurer that wants the ♥️LURV♥️ of the other heroes to themselves. Anticipate where other players go each turn to score a Diva Date, or slay pesky monsters trying to steal their hearts.
I'm at #Origins2025! Come play Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes or my upcoming game, Hotel Olympus in the Games on Demand room! We're demoing Dungeon Date and Super Squad High too, though those slots are pretty much full.
The whole composition is terrific but that chicken 🤩🤣
🔥Turn up the heat🔥 on revenge, ambition, and feelings in my new #onepageRPG for March, APPETITE. You play kitchen staff at a restaurant on the biggest night of your careers. It uses a colored die system inspired by @deadlyfredly.bsky.social's Don't Rest Your Head. CC-BY #ttrpg, make stuff with it!
It's probably the worst way to sell the game, but Super Squad High is secretly an indie #ttrpg / #boardgame hybrid. You're playing a taut co-op strategy game but also coming up with funny dating moments from indie-rpg-inspired narrative prompts. Punching bad guys + romance subplot! 👊😘
If you scroll down on that page, you should see a Pre-Order button:
My 2 cents as a crowdfunding-driven creator. A lone project is already a circus, you are just running the entire thing by yourself. Getting people to care is very hard. I would much rather work in concert with other small creators instead of competing with them for the same dollars.
The upcoming Sadie Sink film O'Dessa looks like an Outlaw Waste! 🤩🎸🤘
My 2nd #onepageRPG for 2025 is up on itch! If you are a fan of Skeleton Crew, Bob's Burgers, or kids-getting-into-hijinks movies of the 80s, this one's for you! #ttrpgs
One of my favorite parts of Super Squad High is working together with other players to fight crime! It feels great when you have exactly the card another player needs to defeat a danger! #boardgames #coopgames
Most superhero board games just focus on cool powers and punching bad guys. I really wanted to capture the full Peter Parker, my life is falling apart UWU experience with Super Squad High, so relationships are a big part of the game.(Though you still get to punch bad guys!) #boardgames #coopgames
The player board from Super Squad High hints at how two of the three pillars of gameplay interact with each other -- student/school stuff on the left, superhero stuff on the right! #boardgames #coopgames
