I'll be demoing/playtesting Lost in the Glow at @leveleater.bsky.social's Demo Expo this coming Saturday (the 13th) at the Co-Prosperity Sphere at 3221 S Morgan here in Chicago!

We'll be testing out the newest (and hopefully final) mechanic to be added to the game!

I'm reaching maximum screen saturation in my playtest setup. Finally getting to try out the map mechanics thanks to my lovely playtesters!

“Just make it exist!” Isn’t that simple, and neither is “making it good.”

I know the left hand graphic has been making the rounds and is meant as motivation, but as a frequent victim of Scope Creep, please learn from my mistakes 😂🥲

A question for all my party people in the ttrpg space: What systems do you know of where travel and traversal are a mechanic? What ones do you think do this well?

Normally this is a part of a game gets glossed over as though the conquering heroes are taking the 409 bus to and from a mission

It's been quite a while!

Ever since Midwinter 2025, I've been sitting with the game and making the choice to rebuild some systems that I had spent months working on previously. It. Sucked.

It's also part of game design! Which I am having to come to terms with as a first time designer.

Just finished my first playtest at Midwinter Gaming Convention! We already have our first major damage to a settlement. I can't wait to see how this keeps changing in my marathon three sessions tomorrow!

Shout-out to Carley and Patrick for stopping by to play.

Hey! If you're going to be at the Midwinter Gaming Convention on Saturday, I'll be running playtests that day with a persistent story between all of the games!

Stoked to get to try out all of the new changes since my last convention!

About to start a session with a pc falling down an elevator shaft, have a moment of silence in advance #ttrpg

Well, this was unexpected and welcomed! Thanks for the follow!

Lost in the Glow is a post-climate-apocalypse ttrpg based around community and base building. We're built on the Forged in the Dark system and our next con is the Midwinter Gaming Convention in Pewaukee Jan 9-12th!

My trusty accordion folder could not keep up with my game as it advanced and I realized I was using rules as I remembered them, not as they were written. So I upgraded to a grimoire:

I'm currently funding a nice print edition of my TTRPG Bump in the Dark with new art and streamlined rules. It's a Forged in the Dark game about community, chosen family, and fighting monsters.

After my whole life on the earth, a dog finally ate my homework. This is all that was left of my mailing list I got from #BGG2024
Frustrating and disappointing, but I still have all the wonderful feedback from my playtesters!

What an incredible convention! This was my first time showing LitG to the public and this crowd was so kind and welcoming and fun to play with. Special shout-outs to Zach, Joe, and Micah for coming back for multiple playtests, you all are amazing

I'm thankful to everyone taking time out of their days to playtest with me, but a special shout out to Matt, Josh, and Eric. I was so nervous about this test and not only were they on board, but had amazing suggestions of how to improve. #ttrpg #fitd #bgg2024 #postapocalyptic

What an amazing set of playtests! Thank you so much to Mark and Paul for helping me work through the settlement mechanics earlier today, it was so, so helpful!
#ttrpg #fitd #boardgamegeek #postapocalyptic

Going to my first convention next week! So of course it's time to massively swap up the rules.

If you're going to be at @boardgamegeek.bsky.social 's con in Dallas next week, give me a shout! Excited to get to playtest with you all

Vault the wall, cull the weak, dominate the battlefield. Reavers are powerhouses stalking through Tranquil.

Hey, if you like the idea of a post-climate-apocalypse, maybe you should talk to a professional about that. But if you want to pretend to be in one, give us a follow.

Stalk through the brush, track your prey, take your shot. Hunters have found a home in the blasted hellscape of Tranquil.
