Been feeling really awful and struggling, but at least managed to get It Wants Souls laid out and ready to go up on Patreon and then itch!

These Run the Set trifolds came out great! I was disappointed that no one cared about this online, but I think this will find a home with me selling IRL.

I've been thinking about the possibility of funding an all-black ttrpg designer and artist microttrpg zine for BHM next year...
I will poke @navaarsnp.bsky.social @pocgamer.com @darkerhue.bsky.social @aleshakills.bsky.social @shanwolf.bsky.social , but is anyone else interested? Ping me.

The only reason I mention it now is as a clear reference point for something I am considering for the next Griot Anthology: a shared world microTTRPG anthology set in the Carribean but focused on a pirate city full of indigenous ppl and freed slaves.

As I am working on getting It Wants Souls released on PDF and then print, feeling some kinda way. I wanna say thanks to @oneshotrpg.bsky.social for letting me put this game into the Ultimate MicroTTRPG over five years ago! It was a great experience all around...

Almost done laying out and adding bits to It Wants Souls... I like how it's coming out!
2 page spread of It Wants Souls. A muted lavendar background. The headers are in scratchy text. There is a monster emerging from the bottom of the spread, with text flowing around it. Spread from It Wants Souls. White background, with a large scraggly duotoned black/lavendar text that says "Prologue" spread for It Wants Souls . a lavendar background with someone screaming, with large rugged text superimposed over it in white , saying, "IT Wants Souls". On the side are credits and typical frontmatter stuff. A 2 page spread. The left ios lavendar and right is black, with a jagged line between them. On the right is a set of diabolical teeth smiling and drooling iin the shadows over a fetus. On the left is the the text: "You Share Your Home with A Sinister Force. At first, it seemed like bad luck. Things went missing, accidents happened. But it’s become clear that the escalation of misfortune wasn’t accidental…it was intentional. Those intentions…were malicious. But not until tonight did you understand what the force terrorizing your family wanted. As your cupboards fly open on their own, as blood drips from your child’s eyes, as your spouse speaks a tongue they were never taught, and as you struggle to remember long-forgotten prayers…only now do you realize what this creature from outside our realm of existence wants…"

Y'all! I am very very excited! I'm going to record a playthrough of the Wildfire microttrpg trilogy I made on a podcast that you might have heard of (I'll let you be surprised). It's rewritten and slightly expanded and it's going to be so much fun.

First episode of #10minTTRPGs is out!! Everywhere you get your podcasts (and tomorrow on YT as well!) This month’s challenge was to design a microTTRPG inspired by a very nostalgic piece of media… 👀

But I am asking other black TTRPG designers: would a BHM microttrpg appeal to you, or is everything too busy/too much right now (which i get)?

Lemme know!

What was meant as a jokey microttrpg is now a chill little music making ttrpg you can get now at cutestpatoot.itch.io/lofi-skate-b...!

You, too, can be a lo-fi skate bear!

Yesterday my Thursday RPG group decided to play "Gaymer Girls"by @meghanlynnftw.bsky.social - a delightful microTTRPG about queer mermaids who do crime, inspired by Honey Heist and Sexy Battle Wizards.

I wasn't feeling great so I spectated, but there was crime, passionate kisses, and hot merfolk!

REFLECTIONS IN A DYING WORLD has been downloaded six times on Itchio! For a little game I cooked up quickly as essentially an exercise, with a really minimal description on the site, it's pretty exciting to me that a half-dozen people gave it a shot. 😁 #ttrpg

Thank you so much for the space, Wendigo!

I recently put together a microTTRPG called TOO GAY FOR IBOP, which is about the players, as a queer friend group in a homophobic small town, navigating their desires and connections while waiting for their food.

Your work, particularly One Shot, has brought me unbounded joy, especially during boring days at work. It also inspired me to create a microTTRPG, thematically designed for my girlfriend. It's releasing soon for free with suggested donation, and all proceeds will be donated to a thematic charity.

PoetrY Combinator TTRP(P)G – 3 or more players You are co-founders of a startup pitching to investors a Product to solve a Problem . Unfortunately, you are poorly coordinated — each founder has their own idea of what is being pitched. Each team member must try to make a convincing argument for why they should get funding for their own idea AND make it sound like the whole team is on the same page. Each player rolls 2d6 to determine what they think the pitch is. Product 1 - Mobile App 2 - Large Language Model 3 - Robot 4 - Cryptocurrency 5 - Website 6 - Smart Device Problem 1 - Climate Change 2 - Poverty 3 - Hunger 4 - Unemployment 5 - Pollution 6 - Surveillance Capitalism At the start of each funding stage (for a total of 3 rounds): Each player rolls 1d20 Players go in order from highest to lowest roll Break ties by rolling 1d20 again Each player rolls 2d20 This is how many words the PREVIOUS player in the turn order can get in before being interrupted, moving on to the next player The FIRST player rolls for when the LAST player is cut off During a player's turn: The player will transcribe each word of their pitch as they deliver it verbally, continuing where the previous player left off from The NEXT player will keep count and interrupt the player when they reach the result of the 2d20 rolled earlier Pass on the mode of transcription (paper, phone, laptop, online document, etc.) to the NEXT player once you are interrupted After completing 3 rounds of play, collaboratively decide on a name for your startup and a slogan based on what you transcribed. That will become the title of the pitch (poem) the team created together.

This just in - two ways to get ahold of my #microttrpg WHELM! at #PAXEast. One, find me and say hi! I'll have some copies, paperclip included, ready to give out to new pals. (And I'll be there all four days!) Two, check out @sidequestbooks.bsky.social where I hear they might have some copies too...
Maggie's hand holding a business card sized game, "Whelm!" with a paperclip in the corner. The text reads: WHELM! by Maggie French. The (dungeon / office / planet / ship / government / future) is (failing / hostile / adrift / beseiged / weird / cursed)! Plan > Complicate* > Narrate > Try again? Maggie's hand holding "Whelm!" but showing the second side of the game. The text reads: "*Roll 1d6 to Complicate. Over: Success at cost (move right). Under: Failure with a bright side (move left). Equal: Success! Plus a scale of Underwhelmed (1) to Overwhelmed (6) and a paper clip to mark where you are on the scale. A big box of copies of Whelm!, a box of paperclips, and the box lid with some Whelm! games with a paperclip on them nested inside.
