Big thanks to Jared and Kristina for hosting me for a #JumpRangers #L2P at The Battle Standard, yesterday! Big thanks to Sam for showing up! Big things to come, Rangers! #ttrpg #gamedev #space

Sitting at a big, wooden table, Tenny takes a selfie with Sam and Jared at The Battle Standard - with the Scarred Bard, TBS's fantasy-themed pub, in the background.

What has it got in it's baggies, precious? Now that our gorgeous new dice (thank you, Q Workshop!) and dice bags are here, I just need to make a streaming schedule before I launch the new #JumpRangers support tier! Follow up and share! Great things are coming! #TTRPG #gamedev #space #80's

Every so often, I get the impulse to sit down and figure something simple out for the look of Jump Rangers. Sometimes, it even comes together! Behold, the new Jump Rangers logo! #ttrpg #design #gamedev #writing

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Finally, the new Jump Rangers logo! I'm going to be sending out dice in the coming weeks, and I wanted something good to stamp on our little burlap baggies... so it was finally time to sit down with illustrator and see if I could come up with something good! #ttrpg #gamedev #writing #design

A simple, black and white image of a heroic swoosh wrapping like a ring around a planet that's been split in two. The image is distressed, as if it were stamped or painted on a found surface.

This has been a long time coming! I'm going to be mailing out sets of eight 8 sided dice with each new $10 ko-fi sub until I run out. I want this to be an investment in the community. I want to offer GM coaching, interactive worldbuilding - whatever people want - with the tier. What do people want?

021

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Say, are those Jump Rangers dice? THEY SURE ARE! My plan is to mail them out, within the US at least, with each new $10 Ko-Fi sub - while supplies last - but first I need to build the tier! What kinds of weekly streams and chats would you want from a $10 TTRPG sub? #TTRPG #gamedev #writer #scifi

Hunched over a handfl of dice, Tenny peers at the camera with an expression of creepy enthusiasm.

Thank you, Spaceshipper! @jumprangers.bsky.social is a #TTRPG where you play a kid space commando fighting for humanity's future while our civilization survives behind the walls of a space dinosaur empire. The corebook text is playable, I'm writing a novel, we're making concept art - come and see!

During Session 0 of a game I'm running for the two boys we're staying with at the moment, @ipiluni.bsky.social drew up this character portrait. For those who don't know, Mistlings got added to Jump Rangers because of Ipiluni's passion for anthropormorphic mice! #TTRPG #gamedev

Detailed and illustrated on a "Nomad" character sheet, a cuddly space mouse named "Lamia" is brandishing her starpike like a club.

Finally! I've just placed an order with Q Workshop, the world's most friendly purveyor of dice, for custom Jump Rangers math rocks! It'll be a few months before I get them, but we'll doing give-aways and Ko-fi bonuses as soon as we do! Would you like to know more? ko-fi.com/jumprangers #TTRPG

Today's a day for screenwriting consultations, but I'm meeting with a publishing advisor tomorrow - my second big step towards getting Jump Rangers: A Game Called Conquest into your hands! The rewrite's about 2/3 done, and big things are coming! -T

Whether we're writing big, serious dramas or children's animation, this is the core of how we engage an audience. This is the things that film, television, and theater needs to do that games do not, and it's the key to writing good game adaptations as well!

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

If you don't know whether the work we do makes a difference in times of social unrest and hardship, this is where the conversation starts for me.

Making myself necessary to the #TTRPG community is definitely the part of this process that I'm struggling with! I'll get it licked, for sure.

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

If there's anyone out there who doesn't see how goals like this get practiced through #gamedev, please ask me! What we do matters so, so much.

This is literally why "they don't make them like they used to."

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Yes, we will 100% be talking through how to adapt without falling into the age-old trap of "the book was better." Of course, I'm proud of my stories as writer... but the fact that I keep working as an SD is because I'm good with YOUR stories! Come check this out! #ttrpg #gamedev #scriptsky #film

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

If you have a world that needs adapting, now's the time to talk! The best thing for Jump Rangers right now is to stabilize the living situation. If you're ready to start developing your transmedia, please DM for some rock bottom rates! If that's not you, please share this around! #ttrpg #gamedev

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Today, the next step in realizing the potential of Jump Rangers begins with surviving. If anyone out there needs a game or a novel adapted to TV or film, there's nobody better! There's nobody cheaper, either! Drop me a line at @tennysonestead.bsky.social if this is you!

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Right now, I'm working on an illustrated, kid-friendly #TTRPG corebook release and a kid-friendly Jump Rangers novel with kids as protagonists. Which one, do you think, you'd pick up first? Which one would be more likely to get you involved? #writersky #gamedev #writing

With a goofy smirk, Tennyson E. Stead engages you with the social media mastery of a seasoned influencer in spite of his social anxiety and his disdain for selfies.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay from Ranger HQ! Days like today, we remember the code. Specifically, think about the Brave Rule, the Good Rule, and the Hard Rule. Leave nobody behind. Give your power to others. Do what nobody else can do. @ipiluni.bsky.social #gohighandgofar #TTRPG #gamedev

Has anyone out there been playing Jump Rangers? Do you play it on the Jump Rangers ruleset, or do you use a more established #TTRPG engine? Or have you taken the ruleset, and ditched the setting for something you already know? How do you play the game? Please let me know!

Jump Rangers has a transforming space fighter! The Hercules! All our designs are built to be used far beyond the #TTRPG, and art director Federico Estevão was insistent that we not use the same transformation sequence seen in Transformers and Robotech, so this was an involved project for us! #scifi

Based on greek battle armor, the design for the Hercules transforming fighter/robot was always meant to reflect the Herc's pugilistic approach to battle. As a robot, the Herc looks like a hand-to-hand fighter. As a fighter, it's obviously very heavy. In every respect the Herc is a brawler!

Hi, friends! Space madness! I submitted a short story for the #StarCitizen Halloween contest, about the ghost ship Vara in the Hades System. If you like spooky sci-fi, please give it a read! robertsspaceindustries.com/community-hu... @jumprangers.bsky.social #scifi #gamedev #writersky

While this has nothing to do with the story I wrote, this evocative screenshot of an ARGO MOLE in a gas cloud is evocative!

From art director Federico Estevão, the Saurian Dragon Spacefighter was the first look we managed to nail down for Jump Rangers. With this ship, Federico managed to establish the look of the entire Saurian Horde as somewhat "Batman inspired," which never occurred to me, and it's perfect! #ttrpg

In it's collapsed configuration, the gothic Saurian Dragon Spacefighter is a fast and powerful weapon built for ramming larger spaceships.

With it's wings open, the Saurian Dragon Spacefighter is a fast maneuverable dogfighter that's perfect for eliminating the enemies of the Saurian Horde in space or in the sky.

What was your favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon? I was always fascinated by the ones with toy lines that didn't take off, because I saw the commercials but I'd never catch more than an episode or two of the actual story. StarCom. Captain Power. Centurions. The Spiral Zone. I loved MASK.

In the StarCom cartoon, a white male pilot in a space flight suit and a cat in his lap grabs hold of a flightstick.

In Captain Power, a live-action series, chromed up soldiers fight for freedom in a dark future.

What's your favorite #scifi #TTRPG? What's your favorite #scifi #TTRPG that's not based on licensed content? How often do you play these games? I play Star Wars at least once or twice a year, and I play Aeon/Trinity a lot more rarely than that... but I'd jump at the chance!

White Wolf Games presents a science-fiction odyssey, in Aeon Trinity!

By far, the most fun Star Wars TTRPG is still the one developed by West End Games.
