To celebtrate the New Year, I have my annual look at the year in roleplaying. It was a year of disasters, including tariffs, distributor bankruptcy, and stolen AI art, but there were great successes too, particularly in the OSR and indie sides of the industry, and for Backerkit. Take a look!

@untoldtales.bsky.social We celebrated 1 year of Shadowdark! Players teleported from sandstorms to ghost fields, chasing artifacts. The final boss? Convincing witches with a disco-pink magic shirt. Nat 20 did the trick. Pure chaos, pure joy.

138 days of silence – out of frustration over 11 million votes for right-wing parties. But resignation won’t help. We have to keep fighting.

Education is a powerful force for good. TTRPGs are able to foster empathy, social skills, and critical thinking. Let’s use them. There’s a lot to do.

Important message: "Punch Nazis!" is a newly available collection of Resistance TTRPGs that people should absolutely play. TTRPGs are a great way to foster critical thinking, social skills, and empathy - which, as we can all plainly see at the moment, is something humanity desperately needs.
