My aims for TTRPGs in 2026 are fairly simple:
- Get 1+ multiplayer TTRPG to the table that isn't D&D 5e
- Release the yet-to-be-released episodes of #5mn5e
- Chat with more cool designers about their games
- Publish at least 1 of the games I've been working on for... over a year at this point
- Get 1+ multiplayer TTRPG to the table that isn't D&D 5e
- Release the yet-to-be-released episodes of #5mn5e
- Chat with more cool designers about their games
- Publish at least 1 of the games I've been working on for... over a year at this point

I love how normalized this is within the ttrpg space. It makes drawing lineages and tracing the threads and conversations so easy. None of us make art alone
Citation is easy. It's a couple of lines on your credits page.
Citation is encouragement. Every time somebody else acknowledges me this way, I feel like the work is worthwhile.
Citation is introspection. You are marking your trajectory, the ports you have called at, as a maker.

Same thing with indie #ttrpg and #gamedev. Leave reviews and recommend their games. Goes a long way.
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"
Reviews.
Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)
Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

The world is fucking awful right now. Which means that sometimes? For some people, that thing you made and nervously shared is the only good thing, with a human scale, on the timeline. So you know. Keep going, creative friends. This really matters.

You're into RPGs.
You've maybe played one this year, or ten, or... sixty-two?
What if you told us about them?
Like, in a blog post, or on here. Tell us what you played, maybe for how long. You could say if you liked them and why. You could even hand out awards.

Thank you to everyone who came up to me at dragonmeet an said hi or said something nice about things I’ve done. It’s genuinely super fucking nice and it gives me lots of energy. We all need that.
If you see a creator you like, go up to them and just say “hey, I like your shit.” They might like it.
