If you are heading PAXAUS next weekend, DM me for a free Kresnik|Kudlak zine. In an alternate time at the end of the history, the colder it gets the more haunted the world becomes. Play as supernatural Kresnik in this apocalyptic supernatural dramatic thriller ttrpg. #paxaus #ttrpg
A red and yellow zines lay upon other play materials. The zines read "Kresnik Kudlak: those whose souls leave".

Limiting a #ttrpg game to a finite number of sessions then moving on to something new is as viable as playing the same system / campaign over multiple years.

Not to give too much away, but one of my favorite bits we designed for Arium: Evolve are the asymmetrical relationships that naturally grow from questions asked from character to character. While many games have a pick list style bond question, we took an Arium bent. Check out our Kickstarter! 🔗⬇️

I am fairly sure this is another by the amazing https://nelsongibbins.com/ The cover art for my game You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads (YMTD for short!) with art by the amazing Juan Ochoa!

Thanks for having me today @qldgamesfestival.bsky.social I had a blast running my narrative #ttrpg "You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads". I had a full table from 9am to 5pm - sometimes with a queue! What a rush, such a thrill! It's love to come back again next year and do it all again!

Had a great time running YMTD at TableTopCon on the Gold Coast today!! Very happy players 💜 My 10 year old played for the first time and ended up being a mutineer! Thanks to @long-tail-games.bsky.social for selling me these zine RPGs too 💜 one by @ehronlime.bsky.social and the other by Stoo Goff.
The RPG zines "The Gaslight Club" by Stoo Goff and "An Altogether Different River" by Aaron Lim. 

Sitting on my coffee table with a pair of custom dice from TableTopCon 2026. My table playing my storygame "You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads". 
5 players including my 10 year old. He ended up being the mutineer!The final card ("The Devil") is turned over... revealing that the mutineer is acting out of material possessions and wealth. 

So of course he initiated the mutiny over all the false promises of money he'd been making all game 🤣

Got this for my wife for Christmas. We've been playing a bit of it - heaps of fun and quite a challenge. It is billed as "every move you make is a trade off where you have to give something to your opponent" - no move is ever safe or easy. Both simple and complex and really good fun.

Today we had 6 different #ttrpgs running at Neon Brisbane 2026, now in its third year running. Although this was smaller than prior years, we all had a great amount of fun! A great free event for locals - we had both old hands plus a few people who had never played a tabletop RPG before!

Crash investigator: what happened here? Uniformed police: looks like this guy was just walking along the street in full plate with a shield and the car just hit him! Crash investigator: ahh yes, I've seen this before. We're looking for a lowered Thaco, probably a 2027 model.

I knew this would become a thing. Blood Blowl (aka the greatest game ever made) is back in my house - the kids are loving it and so am I. Realised that we have about 8 or 9 teams, including all my very very old teams. Going to start a family league. They are all busy painting miniatures.

Have I ever told you that I believe Blood Bowl fourth edition is the best game ever made (yeah go on...) I'm thinking of making the move to the 2026 edition of the game. Any thoughts on that matter? Is it good? Should I fear it? Should I just keep playing the classic "living rules" with my kids?

Our indie #ttrpg group in Brisbane has put in anti-AI rules. We'd hoped that those in the indie gamer community would know better but there are a few who still don't get it. Let's BE KIND BUT FIRM as people navigate this technological and societal shift. It's a big one and no one is perfect.
The anti-AI statement from our discord. 

It reads:

This is an AI-free space. 

To the best of our knowledge, we do not use our promote AI in any way in this group. 

If you find we have inadvertently done so, please report it. 
If you find others have inadvertently done so, please report it. 
Be courteous and kind when doing so - it's getting harder and harder for people to tell the difference. 

If you actively use AI or promote its use you may be removed from the group. 

We support creators and respect their efforts.
