While the wife's away, the husband will...well, his best 😅 My lovely wife is visiting her family this week, so I'm dedicating myself to some hardcore #TTRPG HoK time. Dreadful is pushing towards the first draft territory and I could not be prouder of myself. Two more nights of grind 😤

I'm taking a moment to breathe, reflect, & celebrate. I have grown as a #TTRPG creator/designer over the last couple years & it's a dream come true. Thank you for joining me on this journey, for supporting & encouraging me. I can't wait for y'all to see what's next! Love, Jay LLG Lead Designer

Hiiiii! It's my birthday and I love you all so damn much. Celebrate by supporting indie #TTRPG creators with a purchase, tip, or signal boost. Extra candles on the cake for supporting BIPOC and LGTIQA+ creators specifically 🥰 A diverse community is a strong community, and that's the best gift of all

I'm having a lot of fun working on Dressed to Kill. The brainstorming phase of a #TTRPG is just so special. What am I working on exactly? Creating unhinged classes and revelling in the chaos 💅 What phase are you in?

I've had about five dreams now about harps & my mama didn't raise no fool. On a side #TTRPG project, Dressed to Kill (D2K), I'm creating PC classes after years of abstaining from them (nothing against classes, I just got burned out) Is there going to be a harp-wielding badass included? Wait & see 💅

Toying around with some car chase #ttrpg mechanics for a project and having a blast. Something is definitely cooking! What is your favorite chase mechanic? Why do you like it? Have you ever applied it outside of the system?

Howdy fellow #ttrpg designers, players, and all around nerds! I've finally emerged from my self-imposed exile/hermitage and I'm ready to reconnect with my community. I realize, now more than ever, I need to surround myself with people I trust and admire. My people ♥️ So, what are we working on?!

Y'all need to check out the read through of Whimsy's badass and heartfelt ode to old school side-scrollers and jrpg's. Fascinating to read the ideas and inspo behind the #ttrpg design, delivered in the cheeky yet passionate voice of one of my favorite game designers 👏👏👏

Hey friends, been a while! Hope all your projects are going well. I'm doing some grunt work on a larger project I'm very excited to show at some point (not soon 😁) What are you working on in the world of #ttrpg?

A lot of personal hardship going on, but excited to say the first draft of 3M's system is done! In this simple #ttrpg, you roll 4d4 & try to match results together, with more matched numbers leading to greater results! Match Threshold (MT) starts at 2 & goes up based on the difficulty of actions 🤜🫷

MMM is a game inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time: The Warriors. What movies have inspired you to make a game or design a campaign themed around it? What was your favorite feature or moment that came from the media parallel?

Collaboration is such a powerful thing, especially in game design. I think a lot of us tend to get so close to our work that we can't see the bigger picture, the holistic view. Having a peer come in and give constructive criticism and suggestions: that's an amazing gift. I'm glad I finally see it 🤝

Something I'm telling myself that others might need to hear too. What you are creating is worthy. What you have to say is worthy. You are worthy. Know your worth and cling to it like a talisman when things get dark. The world needs you and your art!

One of my newest ideas has led to me imagining a magical train setup and honestly, even if it goes nowhere, this whole process has been worth it. There's just something so calming and engaging about imagining how a train car would be designed 🚂 Also, something, something, train of thought joke

Here's a twist on a classic question: what's the favorite dice and what non-gaming connections do you attribute to it? I love the d12 and it reminds me of a late April thunderstorms, fresh baked cinnamon rolls, and finding unexpected courage when I needed it the most. How about you?
