The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less TTRPG inspired by games like The Quiet Year and Ten Candles. In it, you play a group of scientists trapped underground, exploring the cave network they find there and looking for hope in the dark

You can back it as part of Zine Month, we're funding now! #ZiMo26

I'm super proud of this, and my artist @psychhound.bsky.social has knocked the art out of the park. Taking the Gustave Doré art I was first inspired by and turning it into something that feels truly awesome.

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!!

your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there.

if we do $613 in sales before Jan 1 i'll do a trifold print run!

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers.

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

Let me know what you think!

Occasionally I get a request for duet games, and I've been quite intrigued by a number that have made it into my collections. For this week's #mintrecommends, I'm going to include recommendations from the first generic "Duet Games" post I wrote.

Over on Tumblr, I had a discussion with this month's Blog Buddies partner, @psychhound.bsky.social about the tensions and themes that overlap between our games Protect the Child and shadow/giant. I think it was a really lovely conversation, and you should check it out here:
