I know it's easy to dunk on 2025 but...for me, it's been a year of milestones. I released the Magus and the Oracle, reissued What Dust Remains, and played games with lots of wonderful people.

That said, I failed my 2025 resolutions. So while it's not a bad experience, it could be so much better.

The vibes in ‘The Luminous Cattle’ by Emilia Cantor are just immaculate! It is the perfect mixture between gothic, whimsical and surreal!

Hello Stranger,

Re-introduction time! I'm Epidiah Ravachol. Perhaps you've heard of my #ttrpg work, like Dread, the horror game that uses Jenga; or Swords Without Master, the one with the tones.†

I've been at this indie truly-true role-playing game publishing gig for roughly a quarter century.

The momatoes bundle has been extended for one year! Four of my award-winning games, for only $40 — a $37 discount.

From heart-racing adventures to sad tales of longing, this bundle is a great way to explore new games.

I think it's very cool :)

"What Dust Remains" by @momatoes.com was a stand out story game for me this year. Playing a life and thinking about a life's work.

What #TTRPG did you play in 2025 that not enough people know about?

Songbirds is a survival horror dungeon crawler where the dead come back to life and you just constantly get brutalized. It's more disco elysium than D&D. It's got unique classes, body mods, otherworldly beings, and all you need to run the game packed into one PDF.

In these dark times, be kind to your loved ones and cruel to your enemies. Eat and drink what you can. Sacrifice and chant to dead gods. Hail Satan and rejoice. It’ll all be over soon.

Started playing Harold Halibut because of the claymation art style—I've never seen anything like it.

It's 60% off, so if you love slow burn, sci-fi narrative games, it might be a nice holiday gift for you.

Less than 5 copies remain for ARC, Magus, and What Dust Remains, while 9 are still available for Inang-Uri.

I initially thought they'd last until New Year, but folks have been FAST. With 90+ copies downloaded with each game, I hope they've been a source of good holiday cheer!
Surprise!

100 community copies are now available for ARC, Magus, Marvelous Children of Inang-Uri, and What Dust Remains! 🔥

All of them are worth a look. Game design and layout have a lot of neat ideas supporting the themes and emotions of the game.
What Dust Remains is one of my games of the year and worth paying for certainly worth getting for free.
