Of all the RPG booths I visited, I thought yours had the best layout. Products were really nicely organized and there was enough space for multiple people to move around.

Does anyone know of an already written “overview of role playing games” paragraph I could get permission to use for the TTRPG I’m working on? I could write one but I’m sure others have done better. #ttrpg

Something I’m working with a local publisher on. There’s no commitment from them but we’ve put in a lot of joint development work

Ephemeral Path had a lot of traffic this week. Hopefully they are real people and not ai bots but I’ll take it. It’s an awesome skirmish game that I’m proud of and I hope more people find it. #boardgames Www.ephemeralpath.com

A couple more #ttrpg art pieces for Za Slingers League. The lizard thing is a shroomback lava drooler I’ve also been getting ready to start scheduling some Gen Con pitch meetings which always takes more time than I’d like it to.

Good luck with your preparations for UK Games Expo. I help run a booth at a couple cons for a gaming terrain company called Recycled Realms and I know how much work it takes to prepare.

Busy week for me, haven’t been able to get much design work in. I started another Za Slingers art piece but nothing to share yet.

Today I finished the first draft of my #ttrpg Za Slingers League. Lots of work to still do but really excited to make it past this milestone.

That’s a gravity glutton! It’s kind of like a mini black hole. It floats around sucking things up until it starts to glow and then implodes :)

It's #CraftWednesday! Do you have a game-related crafting project in progress? It could be a prototype, print and play, upgrading the components of a favourite game, making an accessory or even something larger like a table or games room. Share a picture and join in! Please RP!

I’ve started working on some page mock ups for Za Slinger’s League (Pizza TTRPG). It’s a little early for this but it keeps me motivated. #ttrpg #craftwednesday #tabletop
Two for layout mock ups

I have a large flat box that I keep under my couch. I leave the game setup in it and pull it out while I’m playing. It’s a bit like a storable gaming table.

Indie game dev is when you, through sheer force of will and massive commitment of time and energy, create an incredible never before seen interactive experience from nothing..... so you can have like five people play it and be like "yeah that was pretty good" You're damn right it was

Short Backstory: creatures have burst from the ground all over the plant and suddenly delivery pizzas is very lucrative. It’s so dangerous that people want to watch the excitement of having their pizzas get delivered. That has evolved into a sort of sport known as the Za Slingers League.

Dustin Vance @vancedust.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
Another monster from my pizza delivery #TTRPG I’m currently calling Za Slingers League. This guy is called an Oregor. A amalgamation of rock and ore that’s come to life. It not my most creative monster nor my best artwork but it alright for now.

No pictures to share but I’ve got a good amount of writing done for my pizza rpg and have the first session schedule for next week. Also, changed my user name back to @vancedust.bsky.social from @ephemralpath.com

This is another monster from the pizza RPG. A lead leach. It’s addicted to soft metals.

Dustin Vance @vancedust.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
I call this guy a laser belcher. It’s a monster from a TTRPG I’m working on about delivering pizzas. I’m pretty proud of how he turned out. #ttrpg #tabletop

I got a lot of clean up and boring rules stuff done on my latest chocolate game this week but maybe most proud of this monster sketch I made at work. For the pizza RPG. I call him a laser belcher

lol, no chocolate, pizza! The world has been over run by monsters from the Earth’s core and, suddenly, delivering pizzas has become very lucrative. I play in TTRPGs every now and then and run some too but I never saw myself designing a TTRPG but I’ve been really liking it.

One of the games I’m working on includes chocolate miniatures, unfortunately not actually chocolates but still pretty awesome.

I’ve been working on a number of things this week. A new level for my solo print and play, finishing up printing new chocolate models, and drafting up a character sheet for my TTRPG system. Three projects moving at once is more than I’m used too. Stresses me out but I’m excited about all of them!

It’s coming along nicely. I got some good feedback last week at Protospiel Madison. I think this chocolate game fits the feel of the chocolate mechanism better than Modern Chocolate did

Dustin Vance @vancedust.bsky.social · 20/11/2025
A couple new chocolate models this week. The new version needs to differentiate between shapes more than the last one.
