'I usually try to keep politics out of this account...'

I can't help but wonder where we'd be if more people were less scared of disappointing bad people.

Your regular reminder that if you're pro ICE or anti-immigrants then I don't want your money or your support and my art is not for you.

Hey TTRPG Sky! I'm looking to organize group games for my team here at Demiplane/Roll20, and am seeking professional online GMs to hire for one-shot play.

If that's you, you can drop me a quick line through this google form: forms.gle/Yesw4e9r3WR7...

Thanks for reaching out! I'm planning 4 to 5 games of different systems for my content team at Demiplane/Roll20 as both a team-building opportunity, and a way to ensure our team is familiar with the...

The public release of the second season of our award winning #actualplay THE THIEF is around the corner, and it’s a really convenient time to remind you that this exists - because it’s been a minute 🫠.

In case it wasn’t painfully obvious already: Fuck ICE. Fuck Nazis. Fuck all of this bullshit.

I started writing TTRPGs BECAUSE they are political. Because it was an outlet for me to pour myself into and contextualize the values I have.

Nobody asked for this but I repurposed a substack I was squatting on to review #audiodramas and #actualplays.

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

Another great time at #PAXU 2025. Saw friends, met new people, ran some fun games. Got a free copy of an rpg about kittens that apparently everyone is losing their minds over. Good times!

In lieu of a video - I have other exciting ones in the pipeline - I've written up my thoughts on Hub & Spoke Adventure Design, and the article will be out later this week.

All the announcements for Daggerheart this weekend have got me excited.

This has been an incredible #mörktober. It's been a blast exploring more of the Span with @andrewbeauman.com & @wuz.quest, creating incredible new art, fun rules, and thrilling lore for all the new Skavs.

Mörk Sol Kickstarter launches TOMORROW!!! 🚀🤯🔥

✨TTRPG/D&D Question of the Day✨

How would your TTRPG character and their party be portrayed by an inaccurate acting troupe, a la the Ember Island Players from Avatar the Last Airbender?

Would they be turned into fools? Or maybe villains? Describe it!
