Periodic reminder that using generative AI is a block. Pay and support real artists, or go rot in a compost heap. Or do both if that’s your mood — either way you’ll be helping something beautiful grow.

Planet Raygun will blow minds. This is my transformation of the Carved from Brindlewood mystery system into a retro-futuristic adventure game. You love planning heists. You love heist montages. Planet Raygun does it in a blaze of glory: stuff I've heard people say ttrpgs just can't do. 😱
Planet Raygun: Space Heist RPG – The title is set over scratched up, vibrantly colored aero stripes, an image of a rocket launch is faintly superimposed in the texture.

One of my favorite PAXU moments: there was a single game of The Between at Games on Demand. Three of the players came up to the booth afterward (at different times) and said it was one of the best—if not the best—RPG experiences they’d had. The group is even going to keep playing on Zoom!

I also want to shout out @cha0ticstupid.bsky.social for organizing and setting up the booth presence for @gauntletrpg.bsky.social this weekend. He was busy as hell leading up to this weekend and busy all throughout and thanks to that hard work, the whole team was in a place to fucking kill it.

Just because this campaign has somehow managed to go into 17 hours of overtime doesn't mean its not actually in its last five minutes. One of these 10 minute chunks is going to actually be the last. Still time to swoop in and get an RPG bargain.

Okay. Okay okay okay we are closing in on the VERY LAST STRETCH GOAL for The Between and the one I want the most: a new campaign, Blood & Coal. Here’s my favorite playbook from that campaign, The Daughter. Go pledge if you can! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...
The Daughter is the last true witch of Appalachia. She comes from a long line of proud women just like her, but is now alone. She is the chosen guardian of the natural order, the only thing that the forces of darkness may come to fear—if they don't manage to corrupt her, first. During the game, you'll explore her connections to those that came before her and the wisdom they left behind. Play the Daughter if you want to use holler medicine and granny magic to protect others, even if they're scared of what you are.

I (and others) have often said The Between will "rewire your brain," that it will change how you view the possibilities and potential of tabletop roleplaying games, especially when it comes to storytelling. Let's do a thread exploring this idea! #ttrpg #DnD #TTRPGs

The Between is on Backerkit right now (www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...) and Jason has a big thread on what makes it special here. I think it's worth reading ESPECIALLY if you're primarily exposed to more traditional D&D-y RPGs. A quick thread on this follows.
