I made a jam! Let's make games about or relating to water! Starts from now until Dec 1, 2024. Games need to be made between the period of now until Dec 1, 2024. Conceptualizing them while in the shower or in the bath are optional rules. itch.io/jam/deep-wat... #ttrpg #gamejam

a photo of a rusty set of stairs descending into some deep water. in bright white letters that look a little bit like rustic vintage, the words 'deep water jam' are stylized to look somewhat rippled and warped, as if underwater.

Do you have a store that stocks indie TTRPGs? I'm putting together a list of stores to reach out next year, and would love to chat!

Been doing lots of mini painting lately and it is so relaxing. My little gang of painting pals and I have also discovered turnip28 so we’re gonna make some silly messed up lil guys together, with each of us making a different regiment.

Remember, authors and publishers love to see pictures of their game in booths or stores or knolled next to your other purchases. The thrill of "the person who bought that game from a designer I admire also bought MY game!" Is a nice refresher from the day to day struggle of making indie RPGs.

I really don’t have the time, but also I kinda want to write a cute little adventurous mouse story for NaNoWriMo this year.

Has anyone done an adaptation of Brindlewood Bay for a medieval Cadfael style setting? Love me a medieval mystery, so might have to put something together…

One of my favorite experiences in TTRPG happened this year in the Glitter Hearts campaign @mortphilippa.bsky.social ran on @girlsrunworlds.bsky.social. Getting to show Maya’s full story arc of acceptance of her mermaid self was just so truly magical, and it makes me tear up to think about it. 🥺💕

Spoke about some of my favorite smaller tabletop RPGs of 2023, including VOID 1680AM, Dinocar, Slugblaster and Gubat Banwa. Seriously, this was a great year for games that didn't come from the regular roster of publishing houses.

I’m working on a mini-mystery adventure for the #BigFrogJam I’m keeping it short and sweet in a mini-zine format to join my other pocket adventures!

A sketchy page of a zine. Text reads He’s Croaked! The archduke Frogz Ferdinand has been found dead in the great hall of Castle Lilypad. A sketchy illustration shows a frog with a crown and cape lolling in a thrown. His eyes are little Xs and his tongue is hanging out his mouth.
