THERE IS IN FACT A FISHING MINIGAME!!

And it's completely free!

I would honestly say that Along the Open Road is one of the greatest things I've ever made, I'm so proud of it. Be sure to check it out!

As an extra little sneak peek, I'm loving being able to bring creative writing to a TTRPG rulebook. I've missed having the energy to create like this.

As well as being an introduction to After the Calamity, I would like to consider this an obituary for Project: Kingdoms.

I made a draft for the character sheet! Maybe I'll pretty it up a bit soon, or at least make it look less... corporate.

I've taken on an insane task here of writing a minimum of 5 roles for every combination of these skills. That's 125 roles *at minimum*-- I feel insane for doing this.

The stats are in! This is also an sneak peek at what Session 0 is going to be like 👀👀

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #afterthecalamityttrpg #afterthecalamity
A screenshot of a TTRPG that reads "There are six stats: Might Agility Knowledge Spellweaving Instinct Charm By the end of session, your highest two stats will be your Major and Minor stats. From these two stats, the GM will show three possible roles for you to choose from. The role you choose will dictate how you help the kingdom rebuilding efforts."

Here's something very fun! I've actually melded my current game about the end of the world with another game I've been making for years, a kingdom management TTRPG, and I think I'm about to start on an actual full TTRPG again!

More info to come!

Time to reveal the name of the new game! Say hello to "The Fall of Life: A Play in Two Acts". And, yes, by all means, this game could also be adapted into a play by the time you're done writing!

The first draft has officially begun! This isn't going to be exactly how it will be when you read it; it's just so I can kinda get the rules down. How do we feel about the numbers in brackets?

I HAVE RETURNED TO THIS ACCOUNT! And I'm announcing a new project! Working title for now is Project: Armageddon. It's a solo journalling ttrpg in which you'll play as an entity learning the history of worlds that have been lost to apocalypse... #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

#Superman might just be the greatest movie I have seen in a long time, if not maybe ever. It's not often a movie makes me react the way Superman did. A masterclass of cinema. I'm very excited to see what comes next.

Also Guy Gardner my beloved.

I'm not having fun being a fan of video games right now.

Xbox is my main platform, but with MS's focus on AI and firing 9k staff members while cancelling big projects, I don't want to play Xbox anymore. But it costs so much to move platform. The only real solution is, don't game. #gaming #rant

Woah it's been two months-- I have been suffering from heavy creative burnout with tabletop games, I won't lie, but I'm back! And I'm finally tackling my dream project, Project: Kingdoms!

Just finished watching #Wrestlemania41 Night 1, think I'm gonna do a little review thread to get some thoughts out. Be sure to let me know your thoughts in the replies too and what your match of the night was!

Also, it may be obvious, but heavy spoilers ahead, including pictures

It has been a *while* since I posted but I've been very busy. Managed to playtest Bookers yesterday and it went really well! We had a great gameplay session where I was told it wasn't actually as complicated as I thought it might be, which helped boost my confidence a lot. Expect the game soon!

While I'm going to be playtesting Bookers soon, I've also been thinking of what I want to do next, and I have a very big project in mind...

An (unofficial) Viva Pinata TTRPG!!

Obviously, it'll be completely free, but it might encourage me to start a Patreon...

I've not posted any updates in a while, but I promise I'm still working on Bookers! Hit a bit of a snag with working out mechanics, so I'm going to be playtesting next week with a few friends!

Sorry for the non-fishing post, but I just wanted to memorialise Pigeon here. It's only been a few hours but my heart is in pieces and I already miss her so much. She'll forever be a part of the fishing family. I love you, Pigeon. All the stars in the world.

Today is a sad day. Our cockatiel, Pigeon, went for a surgery today to remove a tumour and she lost too much blood and didn't make it. She's the reason I've learned to love birds as much as I have. I'm going to miss her so much. See you later, space cowboy.

I'm 15 pages into Bookers and I'm on step two of starting a game. I guess this one is going to be a long ride. But, so far, I'm loving it!

I hope my love for wrestling comes across in Bookers. It truly is one of my greatest passions.

Here's the logo for my new Timeline TTRPG, Bookers! It's a game for 2-6 players inspired by Microscope about chronicling a wrestling timeline, be it a storyline, a company, a career, or anything else you could want!
