Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

Promotional graphic for Why We Fight, a tabletop RPG by Laurie Blake of Stop, Drop and Roll Games. The background features a parchment texture with bold navy and red framing. The title appears at the top in all-caps navy text, with the creator’s name and studio listed below.

Two images are featured side by side:

On the left: the cover art for Why We Fight. It shows a determined woman with braided hair drawing a bow against a backdrop of city skyline and helicopters. Her stance is focused and fierce, evoking resistance and survival. The title is rendered in a distressed white font.

On the right: a photo of three smiling individuals standing in front of a booth for “Pugs in Mugs.” One has bright blue hair, one has long red hair, and one is bald with a goatee. All three wear lanyards and appear to be at a convention, radiating joy and camaraderie.

Tabletop Arts Fund @tabletopartsfund.org · 16/06/2025

Legend of the Hidden Folk by @lucienneimpala.bsky.social is a rules-lite exploration of a magical fae world -- and themselves. Drawing on the power of oral storytelling, players wield the power of human memory to stop the encroaching Shadow Realm from unraveling the world of the Hidden Folk.

Promotional graphic for Legend of the Hidden Folk, a tabletop RPG by Lucienne Impala. The background features a parchment texture with navy and red trim. The title appears at the top in bold navy text, with the creator’s name below in a lighter blue.

Two images are featured side by side:

On the left: the cover of Legend of the Hidden Folk, a black-and-white line illustration of a dense forest landscape. It shows trees, rocky cliffs, and a waterfall, evoking a sense of Nordic or Appalachian wilderness. The title is written in elegant script across the top of the image.

On the right: a color photo of Lucienne Impala smiling warmly at the camera. She has long auburn hair and wears a striped top. The background includes bookshelves and posters, giving a cozy, creative feel.

Tabletop Arts Fund @tabletopartsfund.org · 15/06/2025

Runecycle by @hiskih.fi blends OSR minimalism with modern narrative design, casting the player as the wielder of a Rune. This fragment of creation can defy fate -- use it to explore Monumnents in search of a way to break the cycle in this fast, melancholic journey inspired by GRIS and Neva.

Promotional graphic for Runecycle, a tabletop RPG by Hiski Huovila. The background is parchment-textured with red and navy borders. The game title appears at the top in bold navy text, with the creator’s name beneath it.

Two images are shown side by side:

On the left: the Runecycle cover art. A surreal, minimalist landscape features tall, stone-like monoliths set in a desert beneath a pale sun or moon. Concentric runic circles overlay the structure, with the title RUNECYCLE centered across them. A tiny figure stands in the foreground, emphasizing the scale and mystery of the setting.

On the right: a close-up photo of Hiski Huovila wearing a khaki hat labeled “Designer.” Colorful sticky notes are taped to the top, with one reading “GAME,” forming a playful DIY crown. Only the person’s eyes and the top of their face are visible.

Tabletop Arts Fund @tabletopartsfund.org · 15/06/2025

Source of Dreams by Sekayi Edwards is a divinatory storytelling TTRPG that blends introspection with reflective practice. Players journey across an allegorical hex map, using narrative prompts rooted in psychology and personal growth to explore the path toward a meaningful life goal.

Promotional graphic for Source of Dreams, a tabletop RPG by Sekayi Edwards of Hidden Quest Therapy. The background is parchment-textured with a red and navy border. At the top, the title appears in bold navy text, with the creator’s name and studio beneath it.

Two images are featured side by side:

On the left: a top-down photo of a tabletop playtest session. The table is covered with laminated cards, colored hex tiles forming a map, a clipboard with paper and pencil, dice, and reference sheets. The materials are neatly arranged, suggesting a structured and collaborative game environment.

On the right: a color photo of Sekayi Edwards smiling warmly, standing in front of a white background with a leafy plant behind him. He has a shaved head, a full beard, and wears a dark shirt with a pendant.

Tabletop Arts Fund @tabletopartsfund.org · 15/06/2025

We Wander Beneath Radiant Lights by @percypropa.bsky.social is a solo roleplaying game about memory, penance, and reckoning. Once a Sister of the moon goddess Celestine, you rebelled—and were cast into shadow to face your past. Now, you must navigate a labyrinth shaped by guilt and divine judgment.

Promotional graphic for We Wander Beneath Radiant Lights, a TTRPG by Kyle Tam of Urania Games. The background is parchment-textured with red and blue framing. The title appears at the top in bold navy and red text, with the creator's name and studio beneath it. Two images are displayed side by side:

On the left: the game cover, a black-and-white illustration of a figure walking alone at night under a large, eerie full moon. The setting appears to be an alley or empty street, rendered in expressive, sketch-like strokes.

On the right: a color photograph of Kyle Tam standing in front of a massive, curved bookshelf inside a brightly lit modern library, gazing upward at the books.

We are delighted to share that The Fourth Age has been officially selected for this year's LA WebFest awards! Thank you to @tabletopartsfund.org for your support, and to our incredible community for joining us on this journey. Also, watch this space. We have an exciting announcement this week...

Two individuals walk across a grassy ridge, almost silhouetted against a mountainous backdrop:

- Chicory, a hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron.
- Eona, a woman with tanned features, a stern jawline and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, carrying a heavy shield and wearing heavy brown leather armour and steel pauldrons.

A giant eagle flies through the skies above them. Against the horizon are the words "LA WebFest: Official Selection - 2025" surrounded by laurels. At the bottom of the image are the words "Wounded Warrior Project: Stream To Serve."
