Hi there! I am Yanahn (or Kristen) and I make art and write TTRPGs - the whalefall dungeon (or whungeon) zine is PUBLISHED - see new pinned post (system adaptation doc is pending)

My tabletop work can be found at https://yanahn.itch.io/
Pinned
After much tinkering and adding more weird fish, I'm happy to share the launch of Enter the Whalefall - my system agnostic fantasy adventure zine about going into the abyssal depths to stop a bunch of necromancers from reanimating a whale god.

You can find it here! yanahn.itch.io/enter-the-wh...

Taken me a while to post this, but here's my haul from Thought Bubble 2025! I couldn't fit everything in one shot, so forgive the multiple posts.

First up, here’s some from the incredible @scarygorgon.bsky.social, who also smashed it as one of the Mid-Con Party DJs!

The English edition of “Choose Your Own Journey: Kyoto” features a newly updated cover and layout!
I photographed locations around Kyoto during the summer to create this book, so I hope you enjoy reliving the journey through its pages. The book will be available at Game Market Tokyo, Booth K06!

Psychodungeons are created from breakdowns, full of monsters reflecting a mind's issues. Psychoplumbers are called in to get to the bottom of the dungeon and close it off. Pull someone back from the brink, just for a little bit.
