We’ve just launched the Kickstarter for Flowers Withered on the Stem. It’s a vampire family drama role-playing game, entirely card-based and pick-up-and-play. Pledge the Vampire tier and join us in our efforts to make this game a reality. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

This game looks really good!

We're currently offering two lucky backers the opportunity to achieve funny numbers. Get it while it's hot! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Looks gorgeous. More vampire love stories let's go!

Tomorrow!

My partner made me a annotated map for Heroes of Cerulea with all the dungeons and that @blackfiskpub.bsky.social and @ceruleanfive.bsky.social have released as well as some of my favorite fan made extras.

This TTRPG hones in on the family relationships between vampires—a focus central to vampire fiction, but often peripheral at best when it comes to vampire games. It’s is also compact and accessible: all you need is the card deck. Just pick it up, sit down, and start playing. Give it a follow!

Less than a week until launch! Flowers Withered on the Stem is a card-based role-playing game about bloodthirst and bloodlines. Follow the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

We’ve been working on this game for quite a while. It took us a lot of playstorming, playtesting, dead ends, and fresh ideas to figure out what it actually wanted to be. But we finally found it. Tell a friend, get hyped, and mark your calendar: October 27. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

A game about surrendering to surreal impulses, drifting through weirdness that almost makes sense. Then suddenly, absurd elements align and form something coherent and strangely satisfying. Dragonfly Motel in stores now. blackfiskpublishing.com/product/drag...

ONE WEEK until the campaign for To Feel Your Warmth goes live! In addition to the core team of myself, illustrator @egallagher.bsky.social, and editor @goblinmixtape.bsky.social, we've got a killer list of TWENTY FOUR incredibly talented guest contributors

I don’t know if this is anything, but I’ve been exploring this idea of making Blades in the Dark’s resolution mechanic even more push your luck. I think something like it could be an interesting fit for a game inspired by Game of Thrones, Dune, and Shogun. We’ll see. ceruleanfive.itch.io/darkjack

New! Dragonfly Motel www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/

The dream has begun. Dragonfly Motel is out now. This imaginative French creation offers one of the more unconventional experiences in tabletop role-playing. By @thomas-munier.bsky.social. blackfiskpublishing.com/store blackfiskpub.itch.io/dragonfly-mo...

Of course, I used my item cards :)

Finally! Friday night was my first time GMing @blackfiskpub.bsky.social's #HeroesOfCerulea! It looks like I have a regular player group so we're going to play the campaign. SO convenient @ceruleanfive.bsky.social released new content less than a couple weeks ago! #ttrpg

Recently, we played Blood Feud at a con. We fell in love with it all over again, but figured we could make it even easier to get the game to the table. So we created a starting playset based on our session. It's out now, for free. (And the game is PWYW.) blackfiskpub.itch.io/a-web-of-amb...

Well done @thomas-munier.bsky.social and @blackfiskpub.bsky.social - truly a lovely cover, which I could only capture in its shimmer with a short video. I can't wait to get into this!

French #TTRPG by @thomas-munier.bsky.social published in English by @blackfiskpub.bsky.social from Sweden just arrived at my parents' address in Germany, but I'm in Istanbul so can't read it right now 🤪 More about the game in Episode 28 of the podcast, more Francophone regions coming up!

Today TTGDA released what we believe is our most important effort so far - our Licensing Contract Rubric. This is an objective scoring metric that can be used to partially evaluate the quality of a contract. We applied it to a huge swath of the industry, and this chart shows how they scored. 🧵 🎲✂️

You can get our ENNIE Award-winning game—Heroes of Cerulea—from the Indie Press Revolution booth (449) at GenCon, alongside many great games!

I got to run Heroes of Cerulea for the first time at Between 2 Cons last weekend, and it was super fun! Excellent emulation of the source material. Great job!
