Does anyone know of an already written “overview of role playing games” paragraph I could get permission to use for the TTRPG I’m working on? I could write one but I’m sure others have done better. #ttrpg

Ephemeral Path had a lot of traffic this week. Hopefully they are real people and not ai bots but I’ll take it. It’s an awesome skirmish game that I’m proud of and I hope more people find it. #boardgames Www.ephemeralpath.com

It's #CraftWednesday! Do you have a game-related crafting project in progress? It could be a prototype, print and play, upgrading the components of a favourite game, making an accessory or even something larger like a table or games room. Share a picture and join in! Please RP!

I’ve started working on some page mock ups for Za Slinger’s League (Pizza TTRPG). It’s a little early for this but it keeps me motivated. #ttrpg #craftwednesday #tabletop

Each time someone other than me shared the NOVA 2 page, it gets more followers. Your sharing helps a lot! So if you want to see this game happen, you gotta spread the word. Let's kill the sun. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Indie game dev is when you, through sheer force of will and massive commitment of time and energy, create an incredible never before seen interactive experience from nothing..... so you can have like five people play it and be like "yeah that was pretty good" You're damn right it was

I call this guy a laser belcher. It’s a monster from a TTRPG I’m working on about delivering pizzas. I’m pretty proud of how he turned out. #ttrpg #tabletop

String Theory by Tessellation Games was my favorite game from Protospiel Madison this weekend. A light ish game about connecting conspiracies with string to get podcast followers. Just a bit of story telling too #boardgames www.tessellationgames.com

My board at the end of Chocolate Platter playtesting tonight. Needs some point adjustment but I was happy with the play test. It does need a better name…

This past week had the most visitors to ephemeralpath.com since it launched over two years ago. I’ve got no idea why but I’m glad the game is getting some more attention.

I don’t think how many times I play a game matter but rather how much value I get out of the game I have this system that I hold myself too of tracking how much value I get from a game I buy. To track value, I use $3/person/hour of game time. If I play a 2 hour game with 4 ppl it gets $24 of value

I’d love to see a new CCG the size of Dice Masters. One of the things I like most about dice masters is that is was a CCG that felt manageable. Sets were small, teams I created were small, and singles were reasonably priced. And it’s a great game.

GenCon has always been a good reminder of the privileges in being able to regularly attend such conventions. But it's doubly so now when so many aren't safe traveling to the US. I'd love to see more publishers and communities finding ways to extend opportunities for networking and accessing info.

Packing up Kyoto No Neko. Game has awesome presentation and is a good family weight game. A few of the rules are a bit clunky and sometimes the amount of stuff to remember clashes with the light weight mechanisms. Still fun with a couple house rules.

Not enough games at origins this year (for completely understandable reasons im sure)

Dustin Vance @vancedust.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

I’ve been independently designing games for 12 years and have been fortunate enough to have signed some of my designs (although none were printed). Right now seems harder than ever even to get games in front of publishers, let alone have them sign it. It’s rough out there, crowded for sure.

I’m hoping to play some Ephemeral Path at Origins this week. It’s been a while since I made a team and I forgot how much strategy there is in it. This is a design I’m really proud of. Www.ephmeralpath.com #tabletopgames #wargaming

If you’re at Origins Game Fair next week, check out the Recycled Realms booth 2032. Awesome hand made war gaming and RPG terrain made from recycled materials. I’ll be working the booth a lot of the week. #origins #tabletopgaming #ttrpg #wargaming

In just one night I’ve seen a Legend of Dragoon post and a Legend of Legia post. Two of my top PS1 games. Dragoon is still one of my all time favs.

Greater than Games is the largest publisher to ever play and consider publishing one of my designs. They didn’t go for it in the end but the experience gave me a huge confidence boost several years ago

Later today I finally get to announce my first big box strategy board game since Ankh like 5 years ago! (It’s not for CMON and it’s not a mythic area control)
