A new platform for indie TTRPGs. Reviewing games you've probably never heard of.

Hey everyone stumbling over this nascent little account.

The Indie Vault is coming to Bluesky this year. Our mission is to review dozens, if not hundreds of indie #TTRPGs every year

We'll be sifting through as many games as possible to find the best, the coolest, the weirdest and everything else.
Scary Cave ✨👪

Your friend Suzie is missing, she's in the scary cave! Adults can't see the scary cave, but you can! Armed with a trusty flash light and some spare batteries, you delve into the scary cave behind the school.

We've had a slow week at the Indie Vault, but there's still a ton of #indiettrpg news going on. Have you got news to share?

Tell us about it for #SelfPromoSaturday. We especially invite #Pocketopia creators to tell us about their games

Share your game, then interact with another post to boost it!

Pocketopia has been live on @backerkit.com for a little under 48 hours and a bunch of the people making games for it are here on Bluesky, so here's a quick thread pointing you in their direction.

But first, please go and check out Blood In The Margins!

We published 4 reviews this week and have a pile of about 50 to look through!

But on #SelfPromoSaturday, we celebrate every single #indiettrpg title that we see.

So post your game below, and then comment on someone else's game to help get them noticed! #ttrpg #rpg

Rebels of the Outlaw Waste 💎 🗺️

You've been tussled out into the Outlaw waste, abandoned by the last dredges of civilisation and told to go it alone. When suddenly, a voice from the last independent radio station crackles to life, sending you cryptic instructions, and a new purpose in life.

Playing Calvin Core feels like a university drinking game - simple at first but quickly spiralling into delightful chaos.

We can only get through a limited number of #indiettrpg titles per week. But there’s no limit to the number of times you can post up your games for #SelfPromoSaturday.

Leopards Eat Your Face 📖

If we didn't reply to you today when you sent in a request to review your #indiettrpg, it's either because we're a bit swamped by the outpouring of interest or we hold a deep dark grudge against you for some imagined slight.

And there's no way for you to know which.

Do you want someone to review your weird little #indiettrpg?

We want to review your weird little indie #ttrpg

Drop us a DM, comment here or light a signal fire to get our attention.

We'd appreciate reposts from anyone who sees this to get the message far and wide

In my new venture @indievault.bsky.social we're going to be reviewing #indiettrpg titles. Reviewing games you've probably never heard of.

I'm going to be taking it further and just actively going out of my way to review really *weird* stuff.

My new goal is to be the oddest TTRPG reviewer around.
