It’s stupid. It’s dangerous. It’s got parent groups in a panic.

My First Dungeon is proud to present...

SLUGBLASTER!

I swore I’d never be the guy at the comic store who buys multiple copies of the same issue to collect the variant covers…

But for Issue 1 of Die: Loaded I simply had to make an exception 😎

An all-time favorite from @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social

This is such a great listen!
The humor, introspection, game play, and soundscaping are tremendous.

Partnering with Many Sided Media on @mossdaggar.bsky.social’s and the Brewist team’s Hellwhalers has been a blast!”

Explorers Design is a must-read! It's one of the few newsletters that will make me stop what I'm doing when a new issue is released so I can sit down and just read.

So many good resources for TTRPG designers. Highly recommended.
This is a new introduction thread for myself. I'm Clayton Notestine ("note-styne"). I'm a learner, reviewer, and design writer in tabletop rpgs. I make tools and resources.

This thread is my current list of favorite articles and projects on Explorers Design.

Today on Dice Exploder I talk with @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social about Apocalypse World 3e. We took the 2e Brainer playbook and broke down every change as it became the 3e Brain-Picker.

It's fascinating to me how AW from the jump has been designed around the Baker's kids.
