Not any actual adult content. Bluesky's bot just can't handle daVinci's Vitruvian Man... Lots of great games though!

Robert Turk @robertturk.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Last night's ButtleScutt game had me laughing harder than I have laughed in a long time! There were literal tears in my eyes. Looking forward to bringing this joy to the masses, very soon! #indiettrpgs #goblonia #kickstartergames

My newest, #GM-less ttRPG zine just dropped! Identity Unknown is about assumptions, self-discover, and saving the world! All you need are tokens and two decks of regular playing cards. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #indiettrpgs #indiegames

Cover of the game book, featuring the title in white as "ID//eNtitY .unknown" over a blank manikin face surrounded by shards of green, yellow, and black.

Here are the final cards from that art. The colors in the originals vary, as it was all about finding the right wear patterns in the pastel sticks for each image. That pattern changed after each drawing, a cool side effect of the creative medium.

Robert Turk @robertturk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

All art, writing, layout, etc. in our stuff is 100% human made. Proof: here are some chalk pastels for the 10th Anniversary edition of our Hogswallow storytelling cards! Check out the KS @ kck.st/46M6s5E #supporthumanart #indiegames #zeroai #storytellingcards

Chalk pastel original art for Hogswallow cards. Left: a rough square. Middle: two vertical "cat ear" arcs mirrored by two shallow "rainbow" arcs. Right: a narrow rectangle topped by a spiral.

We have all had experiences with spiral bound pages ripping out of notebooks, so wire bound for a rpg feels... Dangerous? I don't want pages accidently ripped out of rulebooks, for sure. How durable is this binding? Would you use a thicker paper? Perhaps make ripping pages out a part of the game?

Robert Turk @robertturk.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Try aiming to hit that on your 2nd draft and just gettting the story out on the 1st go. Focus on making bones, not a polished story. Once you have something, anything down, it is such much easier to go back and make it better. Artists don't start with a finished piece, they start with a sketch.

And with that in mind, it just about balanced out... Or it did. With tariffs on paper (Canada) and ink (Germany and China) and glue (China) I now have to seriously reconsider if I can keep printing in the US! I may have to move my biz overseas now. Tariffs DONT make US jobs! They hurt us all!

Robert Turk @robertturk.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

I print hardback RPGs in the US and have for 11 years now. I don't own my own print shop, I use a commercial printing agent for Jostens. It is more expensive, until you consider shipping from China. And I was fine paying the slight difference for never stressing about losing product on a boat...

Ahh. Unjustified is a more modern trend (at least as RPGs go), so that might be working against you. You might want to check out old field manuals as inspiration. This one is from 1890. www.loc.gov/item/18003184/
