A post I made about the awesome #indiettrpg scene in the DC Maryland, Virginia area. #gamefacecon #indiescene #ttrpg

The second store was mostly board gamers, but also around 30 people throughout the store and the one RPG table was an indie game.

Today I was at an explicitly indie TTRPG event in Baltimore with 50 some companies selling their games and it was packed. I had one of the best sales days I've ever had at a convention. Tomorrow will likely be less busy, but I'm still looking forward to another day with such a cool community. I also got to see a bunch of friends I haven't seen in awhile, which was a delight.

Some people complain about their gaming community, but in the DC Metro area we are blessed with an amazing set of awesome folks creating and selling amazing games. And also, blessed with a vibrant community buying and playing these games.

As I've been growing my Bonsai Diary, I've been not sharing the journal prompts. I wanted to show an example of them. My responses to those are private, but have been helpful. @stickydoodler.bsky.social winter is longer where the bonsai is now. #ttrpg #sologames #journaling

Took a few days off but here's the newest page of my Bonsai Diary journey @stickydoodler.bsky.social Pre color everything was done on the train, where I think the shaking actually helped the art lol #ttrpg #journalingGame #sologames

The best thing about table top games is sometimes you just don't follow the script. Here is today's bonsai which has had an extra 31 years of growing and I decided to color and ink it also. #ttrpg #bonsai #sologames @stickydoodler.bsky.social

Finally playing The Bonsai Diary every day. I started one a few months ago but didn't commit until this week. I'm loving it as a small contemplative slice of my day @stickydoodler.bsky.social #ttrpg #journalinggame #sologame

Cover art by Berserker Dan Oropallo for the ashcan edition of my newest game. Swords and Science is going to use a system we call The Great Hero system. The ashcan is a 50 page ruleset, basic setting material, 5 pregens, a villain and her henchmen. Inspired by He-Man #ttrpg #gamedesign

Did you know that Count von Count is based on the myth that vampires must count grains spread on the ground in front of them? And so do the vampires in our game. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hig... #vampires #ttrpg

One of my favorite chunks of manuscript 10 hours since we got a pledge. Help a #vampire out? #ttrpg #gaming #tabletopgames #rpgs www.kickstarter.com/projects/hig...

The State of the World
At the heart of this game lies a singular truth: vampires have become the somewhat reluctant guardians of humanity. Though predators by nature, they now stand as shields against the lurking terrors of the supernatura

We added an add-on to honor the work of the Bakers and their influence on the #ttrpg industry #PbtA has been a game changer

Kicktraq is giving us a good chance of hitting a stretch goal based on trends. If that's so... It would be good to get your pledge in to help us out! #ttrpg #kickstarter #indiegames www.kickstarter.com/projects/hig...

One of my design concepts for May I Enter is to use borders that evoke different time periods for each chapter. Going from classical Greece to modern day. I'm also considering changing the fonts but I may just go with a font that evokes some of the earliest Humanist fonts. #ttrpg #gameDesign

Josh Heath @highlevelgames.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

I'm serious about upping my game from completely self taught to reading a few books on the topic. #ttrpg #gameDesign #literallyDesign #graphicDesign

Josh Heath @highlevelgames.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

One of the more critical comments I got about May I Enter's Kickstarter preview page was about the fonts not matching. I am completely self-taught with design, so I absolutely agree I have space to learn. So, I'm learning more about how fonts are usually used together. #ttrpg #design #vampure

We have lots of good guidance on safety tools in May I Enter but I really appreciate this small reminder for Narrators in the running a game section by @alisoncybe.bsky.social #ttrpg #vampires #gaming

One of the groups of human Antagonists in May I Enter: A Vampire Game #ttrpg #gaming #vampires

Description of the Order of the Burning Light, an Inquisition like organization of humans who fight vampires in the game, May I Enter. They are described as a horrible group who are out to destroy vampires for religious reasons.

Josh Heath @highlevelgames.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

While our primary antagonists in May I Enter: A Vampire Game are humans, we have written up a few supernatural foes as well. I used this group in my playtest last week. #ttrpg #gaming #vampires #promotion

A picture of text that describes The Emerald Court, a group of fae who are antagonists to the vampires you play in the forthcoming game May I Enter.

Libgen stole my book. My book was co-written by my friend Lisa who passed away. She was Lenape and Nanticoke. They stole a book by a native disabled woman who struggled to get published for her amazing fiction work her whole life. Yes. I'm angry

Remembered today when I got this final art for May I Enter: A Vampire Game that I had Bram Stoker as an actual vampire in my art notes 😂 #vampire #ttrpg #bramstoker #gaming @spicykatsudonart.bsky.social for attribution

If you do a podcast about TTRPGs I want to talk to you about this game. #ttrpg #podcast #gamesmedia

Josh Heath @highlevelgames.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

So my plan for the layout of May I Enter: A Vampire Game is to have borders that evoke different eras of history, and as you move through the book you get closer to the modern day. #ttrpg #vampires #alexSheikmanArt #layoutdesign

Josh Heath @highlevelgames.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

One of the core bits in May I Enter: A Vampire Game is our ruins. These are places tied to ancient vampire history that players can work to uncover and learn from. I wanted to spice up the political and personal of the game with dungeon crawls that fit the setting. #ttrpg @alisoncybe.bsky.social

Imagine a world where you are a vampire who cannot be a brutal monster. You feel the urge to, but a magical Binding prevents it. You must navigate existence looking to gain consent to act, following one of 7 principles of May I... Art by @jeanrachael.bsky.social #ttrpg #rpg #vampire

@gemroomgames.bsky.social Got my copy of Dükk Börg today and to say I'm excited is an understatement. Great concept and execution of the idea. I'm a huge fan of the Coin I got too. #gamedesign #ttrpg This is a great one
