Periodic reminder that using generative AI is a block. Pay and support real artists, or go rot in a compost heap. Or do both if that’s your mood — either way you’ll be helping something beautiful grow.

Amanda has lead the charge on a massive collaboration between so many different creators that's dore the CfB system.

Sprigs & Kindling is a fucking delight.
Also the post features a shoutout to @iamatrex.com's Sprigs and Kindling (sprigsandkindling.com) zine project. I'm sure there are more people involved, but it's her name on the site lol

I am SO hyped for PRG y'all this game looks so silly and awesome
Planet Raygun will blow minds.

This is my transformation of the Carved from Brindlewood mystery system into a retro-futuristic adventure game.

You love planning heists. You love heist montages. Planet Raygun does it in a blaze of glory: stuff I've heard people say ttrpgs just can't do. 😱

One of my favorite PAXU moments: there was a single game of The Between at Games on Demand. Three of the players came up to the booth afterward (at different times) and said it was one of the best—if not the best—RPG experiences they’d had. The group is even going to keep playing on Zoom!

I also want to shout out @cha0ticstupid.bsky.social for organizing and setting up the booth presence for @gauntletrpg.bsky.social this weekend.

He was busy as hell leading up to this weekend and busy all throughout and thanks to that hard work, the whole team was in a place to fucking kill it.

We've raised $30K in overtime, but we need $10K more to unlock our final achievement, Blood & Coal!

The Gauntlet is holding onto this backer train, but just barely! Any help we can get to cross the finish line is much-appreciated.

Please re-post!

Just because this campaign has somehow managed to go into 17 hours of overtime doesn't mean its not actually in its last five minutes. One of these 10 minute chunks is going to actually be the last.

Still time to swoop in and get an RPG bargain.
This crowd-funding campaign was supposed to end 13 hours ago. But people keep discovering this game, late-pledging, and putting time back on the clock in 10 minute increments.

They almost missed out on a TON of RPG stuff with reasonable int'l shipping. Will you?

Okay. Okay okay okay we are closing in on the VERY LAST STRETCH GOAL for The Between and the one I want the most: a new campaign, Blood & Coal. Here’s my favorite playbook from that campaign, The Daughter.

Go pledge if you can!

The Gauntlet Discord is in a frenzy. We just made a Fred Durst playbook (I blame @thebadspot.bsky.social).
I can't believe this is still going!! (If someone backs the game, it gets extended for 10 minutes and it's been going for like 12 hours!!!)
MORE DICE SPOTS WERE ADDED!! You can get the dice set!!!
