Setting up my table at the Building Hope IMPACT Summit - excited to connect with educators doing great work to chat about how to use Luna Uni to help build student mastery, socio-emotional skills, and bring FUN into the classroom with this RPG curriculum!

I feel this.
I don’t like finishing things that have ended, especially things I like a lot, because sticking the landing is hard in the best of circumstances, and when it’s not planned, it can mean something wonderful ends on a disappointing note, which is not how I want to remember a thing I love.

Less than three hours and just a couple thousand to go. This is a steal of MANY of the very best bits of tabletop itch, all for a very good cause.
Friends, I asked for an extension for the bundle but I don’t think it’s going to be granted. We are $3,000 away from helping @dotsrpg.bsky.social bring more braille dice to life with just seven hours to go! Please share! There are 240+ RPGs for you to play for just $10!

Whenever I get a rec/request for a new TTRPG for all-ages or focused on youth players, I do a bit of research... and, if it checks out, I add it to the list!

Find 450+ all-ages TTRPGs, with the vast majority being from indie creators, in one spot on TTRPGkids!

This is extremely dope.

I love the alternative dice roll, and the example Sparks.

And it is free! Go grab it!

Um ... so I just read this review of InfiniBrix and AAAAH IT'S SO NICE AND 😭😭❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥😭😭

QUOTE: "Infinibrix is easy to dive into and a joy to play. It rewards creativity and teamwork, gives players ownership of the game, and puts a new spin on how you can reuse building bricks and minifigs."

GO READ!
I got to take an early look at Infinibrix by @luckoflegends.bsky.social!

Check out my pre-release review to see how bricks, figs, and dice mesh for an exciting game!

Then, head over to Kickstarter (see below) to pre-order and help support this awesome TTRPG!

Every time I tell someone about InfiniBrix - a game for telling epic, zany stories with toys - a light goes on. EVERYBODY - and I mean EVERYBODY! - is like: "Yeah, of course I wanna play that!"

It's the game we all want but never had - HELP US MAKE IT!

It's a design problem AND a culture problem, 100% - and I think it's one part of what's kept the hobby from being in everybody's lives!

InfiniBrix.com is designed to democratize story, from mad-lib story scenes to tactical ones where ONLY players roll and hearts are tracked by studs on lego bases!

I have talked about InfiniBrix obsessively to EVERYONE for the better part of a year, and here's the thing:

When I say "it's an RPG with LEGO minifigs and other toys"?

EVERYBODY gets it. What's more, they wanna play - like, YESTERDAY.
