I'd make the same stuff, I'd just be able to pay people to help out so I can make even more of it - as well as being able to get some artists involved to make art for my games.

Hello! That's absolutely fine with me!! For credit just linking to the original would be fine.

I'd also love to see what you made if you'd like to share!

Every time I write a bad ttrpg it removes a bad ttrpg from the drop table and the odds of writing a good ttrpg increases.

Your graphic design work here is fucking impeccable and I'm entirely obsessed - if I ever make something that looks half this sick I'm considering myself a hell of a success

Battle over Yazebaโ€™s Bed & Breakfast contracts leaves the book, relationships, torn apart Creative collaborators clash with Jay Dragon and Steve Jackson Games over unfair treatment.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Okay. I need a boost here.

Looking for artists.

We're talking about some potential comic book style art and/or concept art for the #iHunt film. We're privately funding development, so budget isn't Hollywood.

I want queer and/or nonwhite artists. I want cool styles.

Links? Tags? Self-promo?

The "traditional" structure of TTRPGs puts an enormous amount of pressure on the GM to learn/refine & very little on the players.

Which is somehow seen as more reasonable than spreading the load of learning/contribution across the whole table.

Broader implications about community in there, y'all.

How many times have I been told to give this racist game and its racist creators grace, and second chances? and empathy, and good faith, and and and?

Nah. This isnโ€™t just a fundamental misunderstanding of Ghibli. It is colonialist fucking desecration.

@obojima.bsky.social Go fuck yourselves.

Why spend $1,000,000 on a Game Awards Trailer when you can spend $10 on $20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music.

All proceeds go directly to funding us making more games:

Lazz's prices for character commissions. Sketches are 35โ‚ฌ, mildly rendered images are 70, fully rendered are 100โ‚ฌ and up. Prices may vary and those categories are fluid.

Lazz's price for bigger illustrations. Simpler illustrations that are mainly monochrome are 130โ‚ฌ and up, and really detailed ones are 160โ‚ฌ and up. Those are not set categories but rather fluid, as no two illustrations are the same.

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.

It can literally be a life changing events.

When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.

This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...
