I started to write a joke about future Sigil & Shadow content… I’ll share it when it’s ready.

Texas has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities in the country but is also rated one of the most hostile/dangerous for us to live. I’ve known too many people in my life who discovered their family and community’s love WAS conditional, upon them not living their truths. That ain’t the way.

Was a big fan of the original and seeing the work @1matrixghost.bsky.social has bled into this iteration has me stoked — but it’s going to need funds! Ever wondered what Shadowrun could have looked like if it was occult horror instead of high fantasy? Follow this guy and fight out! #ttrpg

I wonder if it’s the same game I’m thinking of — found a cool game, even bought a hard copy, found out the author was local and Y I K E S. (I don’t really want to compare notes I just sympathize with the plight)

My kid just asked me if we could “sneak into the Ziggurat to steal the blueprints for the robot”. My Dad Brain: Inform him ziggurats were ancient Mesopotamian worship sites and had no such things. My DM Brain: That is some FUCKING METAL wizardry shit right there and it’s my next adventure hook

I had a friend who always prioritized stats & skills in Shadowrun, always took the absolute worst starting money. First thing he did? Went out and got in a fight to steal a gun.

Would it annoy you if I started tinkering with a fantasy hack of this? Purely for homebrew/hobby reasons and I wouldn’t share anything publicly without your thumbs up

This game sounds really good and in my wheel house. Had never heard of it — really want to say thanks not only for making the vid but how you reviewed it! Succinct and answered a lot of questions before I could even ask.

Now I’m getting ready to run Five Leagues from the Borderlands, and all the notes and maps I’ve done for world building I think would be hella fun to use for a ShadowDark campaign.

R.E. Davis aka "The ChaosGrenade" @chaosgrenade.com · 30/05/2026
Something I’ve been enjoying with my solo games is the ability to world build a single setting across different systems. What started as a Five Parsecs campaign had my crew split into two separate stories in two separate games (a couple went Starforged, the others went Mythic Redbook). (1/2)

My favorite bit of acting is when an action movie shooter's gun runs out of ammo and they look at it confused, shaking it like, "Damn it, what's wrong with this contraption! Of all the times to stop working!" as if reloading isn't the most routine step in operating a gun

just a heads up if you get the physical copy - half the book is journaling pages. This has put a lot of people off for the value — I personally thought it was neat! My only problem is bringing myself to *write* in my pretty book lol

Breathless is a pretty awesome game that I’ve enjoyed running both for friends and solo. It’s one of those that gets the seal from me for hitting the sweet spot of quick and easy rules and enough game to chew on. Oh wait, that’s the zed gnawing at my ankle…

DEIFY was an impulse buy yesterday and has consumed my morning. A tarot-based, solo-journaling RPG where you chronicle the myths of a God, from the moment it's birthed as a stray thought through its meteoric rise (and eventual fall as you are forgotten). First journaling game to really hook me in!

Picked up some replacement thumb sticks for my Odin 2 Portal… clear ones that really show off the backlight, and slightly raised to help when I’m playing Fortnite or fighting games. Seller was Hype Stix / MyHypeBox on Etsy — not sponsored, just really happy and wanted to show off a simple mod.

This game is in a league of its own. I think fans of Demon the Fallen or The Whispering Vault should peel their eyelids open for this one.

Amen — I’ve been gaming for decades and this year I just wasn’t feeling it. Stepped out of some groups, focused on prioritizing other stuff, and then “treated” myself to a solo game session on my own time or the occasional skirmish game meetup. Gave me perspective both at and away from the table

So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork
Fake it until you make it as they say. And I’ve been playing the role of a TTRPG game designer for about 12 years! Now the mask has become my very nature.

I am going to play the Masquerade game with vampires, for real. After years of working as an independent game designer, like a good Anarch, I joined the Camarilla. I am now the Lead Game Designer at White Wolf, the legendary publisher that made me realize TTRPGs could be about a lot more than killing monsters. I can be one of them, and surprisingly be even more human!

The first book I ever read in English was Vampire: The Dark Ages, and now I get to work as a game designer full time for the first time with the World of Darkness? I couldn’t be happier! To live and breathe the universe of Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, Changeling, Wraith, and all other games every day, and be able to collaborate in shaping its future is a dream come true. These games were formative in my TTRPG industry, in the Brazilian TTRPG community, and are incredibly relevant to this day. Especially these days I would say.

And with me I am bringing my game design philosophy of “playing more with less” to help make the game more accessible while honoring the more than 30 years of World of Darkness! I just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as they can, with as little effort as they can afford.

Oh, and I am still an Anarch at heart, don’t worry!Me with a Bloodlines 2 tshirt setting in a throne under the Ankh banner!A castle with the ankh banner hanging from a windowMe wearing a shadowy cloak
