Ok, remixed the teaser to be vertical so I can natively post it on IG and FB later. That's the thing I HAD to do today (according to THE PLAN). Now its time to actually DO SOME WRITING! All the digital marketing takes a tone of time, but at the end of the day I am a writer first. So let's write!

New color version of this art piece by @fluffydumplin.bsky.social. I really love this piece due to how well it fits the setting and the aesthetic.

A ruin drawing and colored by Erin Lamoreux. Sun shines through the clouds, and the ruin looks to be a cathedral with a graveyard in front of it.

Anyone that tells you creating an Indie TTRPG is easy is lying. It is a struggle. It's hard work, and you have to show up, day in and day out. In my latest devlog I talk a bit about how I cope with that struggle, the things that I do to keep going, and stay motivated. Recap in thread. (1/4)

In "Of Hearth & the Harrowing" there is always stuff to do around the Hearth. If heroes aren't too busy on expeditions out into the wilds to rescue survivors, how will they spend their time? Find out more at incharactergames.com A new art piece by @fluffydumplin.bsky.social

A group of heroes works around the settlement known as the Hearth. One carries a large bag and has wood strapped to his back in a barrel. Another carries a barrel, while the third has a shovel in hand.
