#Tabletop game designers: This right here is amazing. It helps so much for planning purposes, and I appreciate knowing this isn't something meant to be played for years at a time with one character

Definitely meaning to get back to working on this, and it needs some design work to make it easier to read, but this right here is the core basis of the #mecha TTRPG I've been writing. The idea is for component sizes to be very, very fluid, while being quick to get into with just a bit of crunch

Do I know why I saved this anymore? Not at all. But it’s accurate for the time of year we’re going into.

Seeing this going around and you know what? It’s been a rough month and I could use the validation

9: Lancer. This is a game that I enjoy but honestly have some mixed feelings on, particularly from the GM side of things. But it’s a neat system with a really cool universe, plus hey mechs are always a plus

8: Hollows, by Rowan, Rook, and Deckard, specifically the quick start in this case. This one was an absolute blast to play through, and I'm still counting down for the full release.

7: Thirsty Sword Lesbians. I’ve only run it once or twice but it’s just so incredibly fun

6: Emberwind. If you want to start branching out from D&D, this is one of my go-to recommendations. Everything you need to run is in this one book and it even be done GMless for pre-written adventures. Plus the art inside is gorgeous

5: Dishonored. Yes, I know most folks use Blades in the Dark for this kind of story, but I'm a huge fan of the video games and this was my introduction to the 2d20 system, which is up there for a favorite general system.

4: Cyberpunk RED. I’ve mostly played this in one shots, so I would love to be able to do something longer form sometime. I just don’t have enough time on my hands to do so

3: Fantasy Age 2e. This is a current favorite that I’m running on my server, and I adore the way the stunt system works. If I could run this every week, I honestly would

2: When the Moon Hangs Low. This is a more recent favorite of mine that I stumbled on from a deal of the day on DriveThru, where players take on the role of cursed hunters trying to fight off and survive in a cursed city over a necropolis. The Bloodborne inspiration is very heavy with this one

1: Veil of the Void. This was the first indie TTRPG I backed and ended up running, and I attribute it to shaping the attitude I have for all kinds of TTRPGs

Morning folks! I’ll be taking part at #FOMOCon running two games, one as a playtest and then When the Moon Hangs Low! There are so many great sounding games and panels going on, try to make it if you can!

Apparently Penny has decided I’m not allowed to get up from my desk today…

Map making isn't my strong suit, but it's a work in progress. Behold Crestfall, the general fantasy world I've made to primarily be used for a #FantasyAge game I'm running

You’ve made it to a Penny checkpoint. She wants to know if you’re doing okay and remind you to get a treat and some water today

I made a thing for #PocketQuest2025! If you want to play a game where you're a superpowered Dreamwarden protecting their city from enroaching nightmares in an astral plane, then this one is for you.
