Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts.

There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

a cool part in poetry is that your title is included in the poem.
in rpg design, think about abilities, picklists, and roll tables like poems, and experiment with the title and subtitle. for example, look at this picklist from @jedediahberry.bsky.social and @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social.

If I didn’t have a party, I’d be running a creepy version of this tonight. Space Creeps? Creepy Weirdos?

Dicemancy is a dice placement, tableau building, tower defense game with Studio Ghibli-style art?! All things I adore.

Played Personal Vendetta tonight and it’s a pretty unbelievable “Magic in a box” game. Art and game design all by one person. A true passion project and a damn good card game. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ad-...

Love this weird little game. Last week I told @timhutchings.bsky.social and friends that I feel like mapmaking games need some innovation. But I didn’t think about how this is basically a mapmaking game(?).
Wanna know how to play Old Morris Cave? I’ll show you! Grab your copy of this wonderful game on our website (l!nk in bio!) #ttrpgs #ttrpg

@quinnbrander.bsky.social I'm taking Gone to Gaia for a test run. It looks incredible and I can already tell I'm gonna love it. Only question I have is what are these pink tokens? I don't see anywhere in the draft rulebook where they are called out, but maybe I'm just missing it.

My friends are exceptionally talented idiots and I love them
@wordblanket.com & I had the privilege of putting on the yearly scavenger hunt for MoPop’s Halloween party. We included this video puzzle (hence the symbols & highlighted subtitles), but I think it turned out pretty great considering we shot it all in just a couple takes in our garage. Check it out!

Played Crow Country for the first time yesterday. Such fantastic creepy vibes and aesthetics and everything is perfect… until you have to aim your gun. WHY. It’s ok to leave some janky game mechanisms in the past
