How it started vs how it’s going. Artists are magic. Shout out to Chris he doesn’t use social media but his cover is incredible and I can’t wait to see it in physical form.
An incredibly rough sketch, done with a finger on the notes app. It depicts a vaguely humanoid upper body and head that more closely resembles an ice cream cone, with a large blob above the head representing where the title text plans to go. A line w is below the point of the cone, and a two circles, one in the bottom right and one in the bottom left, are placed and numbered to be described in detail in a reference document. The figure has two arms coming out of its side, with a scattering of dots instead of hands suggesting crumbling to dust. I drew this so I can say it, it’s dogshit, and without the numbers and accompanying document, it’s incomprehensible The finished cover illustration by Chris Bennet. Black and white. A figure in the center, seen from the torso up, is being torn apart and pulled into a black hole at the bottom of the page. Its body is stoney and cracking apart. Its head is a circular window to another universe, filled with stars, one of which streaks like a comet, its tail bursting out of the portal and exploding up to the top of the page. The title “Sometimes We Were Infinite, is written in white fancy lettering, except the last word, which is written in simple, strong black text that is slanted towards the viewer and partially overlaps with the figure’s head, with that falling star from before peeking out between the N and the last I, creating a starburst. In the background, black stars glimmer in a white void. It looks incredible.

14. MINIBX by @lucasttrpg.bsky.social stands out from the bx legacy crowd not by setting or flavor, but mechanical innovation. Its dice chain system is something truly different. Text also includes designer notes, smth I’d like to see more often. (Also peep the @maguax.bsky.social layout!)
The cover of mini bx, depicting a party of alarmed adventures in a cartoony style on a minecart, whizzing past a basilisk and I think a grell? Whatever the floating brain with a beak and tentacles is called.

13. Frontier Scum by @makedatanotlore.bsky.social is a cowboy borg hack with guns that feel as deadly as they should be. The book also feels like nothing else, a raw hardback with exposed binding, filled with fake advertisements that construct the world around you as you read the rules.
The cover of frontier scum, with the quote “a game of insatiable greed where scum live one slug from the grave”. The cover is accented by a collection of spot art, including a bowler hat, skull, cowboy boots, a rock formation akin to a piece of Stonehenge, a revolver opened for reloading, a saddle, a lantern, a bug, a well, a train and a snake.

12. Print Weaver by @nlmorrison.bsky.social - a soulslike where you build your character based on your real human fingerprints? Hell yeah. And it’s beautiful to look at to boot. Side note, I’m having fun using this thread to find designers I like on bsky I haven’t followed yet.
The cover of print weaver, a softcover that depicts a figure made of woven finger prints emerging from the fingertips of a large hand, rising as if pulled by an invisible thread affixed to the center of their chest as they hang limp. The figure is made of weaving lines, the texture of fingerprints.

11. Eat the Reich by @gshowitt.bsky.social however, does do something similar to Nest, a beautiful book where again, the campaign is the game, but it feels different to me for reasons I should interrogate. But any game about vampires killing Nazis is a win in my books, being gorgeous is just a bonus
The cover of eat the Reich, depicting a close up of a metal coffin on which the title is painted, there’s a slot in the coffin, through which the face of the vampire inside, depicted in reds and blues with yellow eyes, can be seen

10. Nest by @gilarpgs.bsky.social takes a design approach to campaigns I don’t think I’ve seen elsewhere, tight, focused and incredibly finite. The game and its campaign are one, it’s a game with a purpose, one it will fulfill, then you can move on to the billion other games out there.
A copy of Nest, a minimalist white softcover with circuitry accenting it.

9. Blood Borg by @worldchamp.bsky.social presents a unique take on the hidden vampire world genre, where the influence they have is reflected in the very shape of the city they reside in. It also has fun connections to Mork Borg, and makes me wonder if the two could be string together.

8. Daisy Chainsaw by Charlotte Laskowski is a grid based tactical magical girl game. A beautiful book of pixel bloodshed and flashy weapons. It feels good to read and I believe it’ll play the same.

7. Death Game by @laurieoc.bsky.social , featuring art by the legend @hodagrpg.bsky.social takes on the battle royale genre. Battle royales FEEL like they should be perfectly suited for TTRPGs, but are, in practice, logistical hells. A game that’s designed specifically to run a BR is a win for me.

6. Nightcrawlers by Tanner Yea. Splatterpunk OSR goodness. The underdog drama of an Anarch VtM Chronicle mixed with a greater variety of beasties to be. Also includes a table for generating band names and music genres.

5 is Down and Out in Dredgeburg by @skullfungus.bsky.social. This charmed me immensely when I picked it up on itch in 2022, and I just found a hard copy. I’d like to run it one day as half of a nonchronological campaign, one playing towards its doom, and the other slowly remembering their downfall

Number 4 is Rae Nedjadi’s Once More Into the Void, where the captain of a starship reunites their fractured found family to save the galaxy, one last time. I’m fascinated by minigame format of ttrpgs that I have little experience with, and it seems perfect for a short campaign.
The cover of Once More Into the Void. It features a smiling one eyed man with dual laser pistols, an alien with a sniper rifle and environmental protection suit, and a 4 armed alien projecting some sort of energy shield

@alexandersheep.bsky.social’s Micro Circuts is a lean, mean, OSR Battlebot machine (ma-zine?) which inspired me to write an adventure, but I really do need to play/run it some so the adventure can be what we in the biz call “usable” and “fun”
The cover of the Zine game Micro Circuts, depicting a part of robot adventures facing off in a dark cave against a variety of foes, but the cover is dominated by a large, serpentine robot looming over them

Next, @7daneasmund.bsky.social ‘s Zoetrope: Death Didn’t take, was pitched to me as a game about “the mall cops of time travel”, and that sold me. The physical cards it uses for its game elements make it an in person only joint, but one I hope I can explore soon.

First, something co created by the first person to like this post (only pandering a little I swear), @naldodrinan.bsky.social and @greywizard.bsky.social’s BREAK!!! comes with a sleek visual design that makes me feel like I’m reading the definitive strategy guide for a ps1 jrpg never made.

The story of my #BigBadCon in 4 days. Traded my zine, Magica Mechanica, in exchange for “something”. Distributed 63 copies. More details to come. If we traded, hmu with a reminder of what you gave me for a pdf copy.
A picture of a poster that says “Ask Me About Zine Bartering!” written in marker, with a scattering of signatures from those traded with in the margins. A picture of a poster that says “Ask Me About Zine Bartering!” written in marker, with much more signatures than the day before. A picture of a poster that says “Ask Me About Zine Bartering!” written in marker, the margins almost filled to the brim with signatures of those traded with. A picture of a poster that says “Ask Me About Zine Bartering!” written in marker, with not many more signatures than the previous day, but the border of the poster has barely any space for further signatories

The kinda shit I’m tryna be on
A screenshot of a Google search for the fish called a Wahoo. It’s a long grey fish with a blue stripe on top, a bulging eye, and an open mouth, being held up by a person off screen over the ocean.
