This International Women's Day I'd like to shout out some of the amazing ladies in the #ttrpg sphere and their incredible creations πŸ’•

Yeah, I think this industry more than any other encourages indie designers to create the sort of projects they would have loved to have experienced as a teenager, or to feel inspired by as an adult.

It’s such a great medium to express stories in new ways with new perspectives.

Hi! I’m hard at work writing the sequel to Cryptid Creeks, where the teen scouts are now in their 20s, having to reunite to break eldritch curses once more. I’m really enjoying the process.

A banner that says Little but Fierce: Streamlined 5th Edition for Children of All Ages. There’s a preview of the physical book cover and artwork. There’s a quote from Sarah Johnson, Education Consultant that says: β€œIn a sea of electronic alternatives, Little but Fierce stands as an exciting and fun competitor that will delight geeky parents and their children alike.” There are also four photos of the creative team: DC Bradshaw, Catarina EusΓ©bio, Sebastian YΕ«e and Jennifer Kretchmer.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a #ttrpg actual play group based in Australia to run an introductory scenario for Undead Paradise.

In this scenario, a group of recently reawakened zombies are introduced to the new mutated world and are asked to help locate some missing people in a depilated city.

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:

I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

Season Finale, part one, of my #CryptidCreeks game last night happened despite me definitely having caught the cold 3 passed around the house.

It included throwbacks to characters from previous curses, insidious creeping dread, and also Muppets. I had a lot of fun running it. #TTRPG
