I'm pretty excited about this project, using my pal @houndsonggames.bsky.social's Relict system for two new mecha RPGs! Check it out: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Today my one-shot halfling Felix did the cleverest thing: He used prestidigitation to make his cake taste even better.

Come see what the full moon brought with her this omen season!

There's something deeply satisfying about packing dozens of Kickstarter reward packages and reading the name of each person who supported you along the way. I'm not done packing boxes for the Paragons Starter Kit yet, but made great progress this evening!

Banana is always doing something fresh with the weird shit they make while still being consistent with delivering a quality product in the timeframe promised. Stellar individual. Truly somebody to model in the space.

Get on the road to adventure faster after any unexpected party with pre-generated Player-heroes - now available in the Character Tools for The One Ring RPG. Be sure not to forget your pocket-handkerchief!

Someone needs to invent a way for busy days to feel less busy. That would be sick.

I've hit the point of not taking pictures at conventions where I've started referring to myself as the convention cryptid. I'm losing my physical form and developing an aversion to daylight. The only way to stop this transformation is to share any pictures you took with me at a convention!

Alright, that final 48 hour email went out. Let's see if we can fund this thing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Paizo has traded tactical combat grids for a shared bag of dice that actively plots your demise, bringing Dread creator Epidiah Ravachol and The Magnus Archives writer Johnny Sims onboard for its new one-shot horror roleplaying game 13 Omens.

We've reached our funding goal for 13 Omens! Thank you all for the good spooky vibes and support! Back the campaign NOW to help us get to our first Stretch Goal, adding another adventure to the rulebook! Get 13 Omens: https://bit.ly/4r7gE22

I am INCREDIBLY STOKED for this game!

We're in the final 15% of funding for NOVA 2! If you love mechs and hate the sun, this one is for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Today is a VERY GOOD mail day

I'm stoked to release the character builder and digital character sheet for The One Ring RPG into Early Access. Check it out now, and there's plenty more to come!

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Patiently waiting for NOVA 2 to fund, not because I want the game to be made, but to give me the excuse to buy celebratory pizza and cake. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

My top 5 RPGs that are Dungeons & Dragons: 1. Pathfinder 2e 2. D&D 5.5e 3. Baldur's Gate 3 4. D&D 5e 5. D&D 4e

Last year, a bunch of you helped Bran and I get out of a terrible living situation, heading to the first stage of us getting out of Washington DC. We're ready for Stage 2: Move to New Orleans. We updated the #GoFundMe page with new info and where the rest of the money we're raising will be going.

Create and play all your characters for The One Ring starting Tuesday! And join us for the livestream and ask me anything.

THAT'S MY WIFE!

Today is a big day for me. Every morning (usually) I start my day with the chess.com daily puzzle and today marks 1 year of consecutive days completing the puzzle. I'm not great at chess, but it's been a nice morning ritual to do my puzzles with my morning coffee.

okay I'm sorry to literally beg for this, I've done part time jobs and you all have been amazing sponsoring for me doing work around the community But I go 1400 a month rent is due at the end of the month and I'm freaking out, they can delay it until the 8th but I think I honestly can't pay it

Get the entire Coriolis: The Great Dark collection on Unbound and secure a discount on all future releases!

$7k hit! We are 70% funded now. If you want to blow up the sun and pilot a really cool mech, you need to back and share NOVA 2! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Some days working in the games industry is really cool. Today is one of those days.

Now you can tell your local game store to stock Paragons and send them to IPR!

Check, check, check. Time for that run and to log off. Please go support NOVA 2 while I try to keep my chill!

The Character Tools for The One Ring are coming before this campaign completes. Check out a preview and a look at the short-term roadmap. And don't miss getting the Unbound modules for all three of the new books in this campaign for only $30 when you bundle with the hardcovers!

Last night I ran a session of Forgotten Odysseys for friends and we had a blast! I've played MÖRK BORG before but never GMed. When @badeye.bsky.social & @brokendoorgames.bsky.social put the game out I knew this was a setting I wanted to try! I had so much fun GMing a PC carrying around a ladder.

Dice are the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. When I roll a 1, I get mad and throw it real far; I pick it up but I don't know why I do

Running a KS with a toddler will certainly be super easy, barely an inconvenience. It means I won't be able to do as much promo myself, which means I'm relying on all of you to spread the word. We go NOVA next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Made it to about 15%! Still churnin away! Thanks so much for all your help <3

There must be a kid in the neighborhood who plays Pokémon, because every now and then I'll find a card on the ground while walking the dog. Today, a wild Exeggutor appeared.

I'm excited to partner with Friday and bring Vineyard to fans! Check out this adventure and get a discount on the full book!

Sword & Key wants to celebrate #swordtember by wishing our co-founder @dsword.bsky.social a very happy birthday! For all of the stories, fun facts, absolutely wild characters, and all of the feels (mostly laughs) we want to say thank you and happy birthday!

I've gotta get a little work done and it's that time of week when I do a lil stream. Come hang out with me as I get a few projects done! www.twitch.tv/joshuasimons

I would fill out that game designer stat sheet, but I actually have an irrational fear of graphs and charts, so if someone could turn it into a rollable table for me that would be neat

CROWS is in the final hours of the BackerKit campaign! mcdm.gg/crows-rpg

The NOVA 2 banner looks better now, thanks to @lonearchivist.bsky.social ! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Last night I got an idea for a new game, so I'm gonna start mapping it out on stream today. You're welcome to come hang out and chat! www.twitch.tv/joshuasimons

I got a lot done this week and I'm feeling really good about it! *Ominous To-Do List looming*

Twitch appears to be down

I'm live for a Wednesday evening coworking (doubtful) and hangout stream! Come hang out? www.twitch.tv/joshuasimons
