I'm showing my age but I miss when Steam Sales had games attached.

Favorite DM moments: placing a completely harmless creature in a room full of ominous objects. A white rabbit surrounded by weapon racks stopped a party of Monty Python fan cold, threat or not.
I promise they deserved it.

Happy #FathersDay to the dads who GM'd their kids' first RPG. You know, the ones who read the rules out loud, painted the minis, and ran a dragon that missed every attack roll.

Attrition is the laziest difficulty dial in adventure design. "It has more HP" isn't a challenge, it's a timer. The fights worth remembering are the ones where killing the thing is the wrong move, or takes more than just, "Hit it 'till it stops twitching!"

What do you think about a line of two-page adventures? Single facing pages, essentially using the inside of a facing cover, front-and-back. Quick to read, easy to run, zero fluff. Would you play this?

I am staring at 3 beautiful cover sketches today and my mind is blown. They exceeded every expectation I had! I am so incredibly happy, but I am also having the hardest time picking the final direction.
Can't share them yet, but here's the mood board. #indiettrpg #ttrpg #skyttrpg

As a book collector, a TTRPG's layout matters as much as the math. I want gorgeous spreads that help the GM, so I'm obsessing over blueprints for my first module. Facing-pages, clean typography, zero flipping mid-combat.What book(s) do you open just to look at?

Still Not Done With PF1!
Old Skool Class Concepts!
In a much earlier edition of the rules that developed into Pathfinder First Edition, Bards did not start as Bards. They had to be Fighters, Druids, and Thieves, first.

Just locked in a cover artist for my first adventure module. Contract out, work starting soon. Feels like a dream. More to come!

First-time publisher moment: just emailed three artists about a cover commission and now I'm refreshing my inbox every four minutes like it's 2004 and I'm waiting for a MySpace friend request. 😓 #IndieRPG #TTRPG #GameDesign
