IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! For #PICOrpg, I mean, in terms of the time we have left on the #kickstarter. 2 days, in fact!

Not the song. But it is a good song. And great for these #ttrpg crowdfunding situations!

the layout of this is so sharp!
It's out!

A TTRPG you can play *right now*. Without any prep whatsoever. Pick one of the 10 adventures, read the introduction aloud to your improvised players, and here you go. You are already playing.

LOVE FOR THE LOVE GODS
"Cabin in the Wood" but for Hallmark Movies.
Ever wonder why all those TV specials are so formulaic? Well there's a reason for that! A huge, cosmic, reality-shattering reason!
The Love Gods demand Love! And only you can maintain the ritual!

posting a ttrpg take on here is the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee injected directly into the brain

the idea that ttrpg's are not storytelling hinges on a very narrow definition of what a story is. we are storytelling every day. your own life is a story you tell and retell and reshape. you tell stories in every word you speak. your memories are stories.

47 hours left on Transgender Deathmatch Legend II's BackerKit campaign.

TV time remaining. No count outs. Not holds barred. There must be a winner.

The secret to a good layout? Good writing and good typography. If either of those are bad, your rpg's layout will look bad.

This week on Explorers Design, I delve into typography. How to set it up, pair it, and why. I cite a lot of sources. #ttrpg

game design is 90% naming things. anyone have a shorter word for impatience/frustration? looking for a name for a track, something 8 letters or less, seperate from anger/rage.

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.
