Smoggy 🇦🇺

Excited to have my #ttrpg You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads in print! - Tragic mysterious stories. - GM-less, zero prep play. - 60 to 90 mins. - 115 page B&W book - 7 pre-made settings. - Need a deck of cards to play. Print only in Australia but msg if keen and we'll sort it. PDF via itch.

Not *nearly* enough, thank you very much vaguely threatening ad! We've only just started them on some PbtA and Ticket to Ride, plus local indie card games like Yum Cha (a family favourite around here). There are many more they could be playing! What else should we get them into?

I'm not great at asking for help but the last 48 hours have made me realize i need it if i want to rebuild my life. If you're able to donate i thank you but even just sharing means the world to me. #support #gofundme gofund.me/09f0ab94b

@phophos.bsky.social not the furthest south you've sent things but definitely a long way from home. Local new game shop Cartell Games has just opened and has @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social games and several other indie titles on the shelf. Great to see!

I appreciate this is an older post to re-skeet but this topic must continue to surface in any and all discourse. If you are using sloppy poop in your games in any way, your games are filled with sloppy poop.

I missed this earlier. I love both Dream Askew and The Quiet Year and the games that Avery makes. Please get them.

If you are heading PAXAUS next weekend, DM me for a free Kresnik|Kudlak zine. In an alternate time at the end of the history, the colder it gets the more haunted the world becomes. Play as supernatural Kresnik in this apocalyptic supernatural dramatic thriller ttrpg. #paxaus #ttrpg

Limiting a #ttrpg game to a finite number of sessions then moving on to something new is as viable as playing the same system / campaign over multiple years.

As part of the DriveThruRPG September Solo sale, for the next six days you can get a big discount on Overzealous! A cult management game from the perspective of the outside god they're trying (when not too distracted) to make manifest in reality. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Not to give too much away, but one of my favorite bits we designed for Arium: Evolve are the asymmetrical relationships that naturally grow from questions asked from character to character. While many games have a pick list style bond question, we took an Arium bent. Check out our Kickstarter! 🔗⬇️

Running some #ttrpg #storygame You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads at Netherworld for Indie Dev Night thanks to @zedgames.bsky.social 💜🧡🩷❤️🩵🤎💙💚

So cool, well done! Your work is amazing.

Tomorrow I'll be at Netherworld Creator Markets in #brisbane #australia showcasing my YMTD #ttrpg #storygame with a few other amazing local tabletop creators! So excited to share this game with the world some more :) Come give it a try! www.netherworldarcade.com/event/nether...

Oh hey mate, I'll see you there again - this time I'll be there as a seller too! Last time I did get myself a copy of EGADS, it's very nice 💜💜💜

Thanks for having me today @qldgamesfestival.bsky.social I had a blast running my narrative #ttrpg "You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads". I had a full table from 9am to 5pm - sometimes with a queue! What a rush, such a thrill! It's love to come back again next year and do it all again!

Malandros is brilliant. Get it.

I'm super excited to be demo-ing YMTD (the story-game of hard choices and fateful decisions) and generally taking about tabletop game production at @qldgamesfestival.bsky.social in just over a week!! Come say hi if you can be there! www.queenslandgamesfestival.com

Had a great time running YMTD at TableTopCon on the Gold Coast today!! Very happy players 💜 My 10 year old played for the first time and ended up being a mutineer! Thanks to @long-tail-games.bsky.social for selling me these zine RPGs too 💜 one by @ehronlime.bsky.social and the other by Stoo Goff.

@periaptgames.bsky.social and @hecticelectron.bsky.social look what I got in the post today thanks to your crowd funding efforts and PoD via DriveThruRPG. Thanks so much more making it easy to get print #ttrpg products in Australia by using PoD! I'm excited to read and play these!

It's #selfpromosaturday, so let me hold up the card that reads #Overzealous: the solo RPG of tactical cult management and heretical hijinks! Play as a god and deal with the bunch of little weirdos who worship you for some reason. itch: periapt-games.itch.io/overzealous DriveThruRPG: bit.ly/overz

This looks super cool!

Today we had 6 different #ttrpgs running at Neon Brisbane 2026, now in its third year running. Although this was smaller than prior years, we all had a great amount of fun! A great free event for locals - we had both old hands plus a few people who had never played a tabletop RPG before!

Crash investigator: what happened here? Uniformed police: looks like this guy was just walking along the street in full plate with a shield and the car just hit him! Crash investigator: ahh yes, I've seen this before. We're looking for a lowered Thaco, probably a 2027 model.

I knew this would become a thing. Blood Blowl (aka the greatest game ever made) is back in my house - the kids are loving it and so am I. Realised that we have about 8 or 9 teams, including all my very very old teams. Going to start a family league. They are all busy painting miniatures.

Today I got to speak at the Ipswich Creators Summit on tabletop games and then after with a few local creators we ran demos and playtests all afternoon and introduced new people to tabletop games. I talked about the power of community and collaboration in the art of making board games and #ttrpg

Excited to be talking #ttrpg and tabletop gaming tomorrow at www.shapeyouripswich.com.au/creators-sum... After my talk, we're prototyping and playtesting all afternoon with some of the great creators of SEQ including Quokka Games, Delta Phase Games and members of Springfield Gamers.

I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me...

Over on a discord server, the question was posed: "If GURPS is lego, your favourite system is..." My response: "If GURPS is lego, Apocalypse World is going down the creek and hitting each other with sticks." What's yours?

Have I ever told you that I believe Blood Bowl fourth edition is the best game ever made (yeah go on...) I'm thinking of making the move to the 2026 edition of the game. Any thoughts on that matter? Is it good? Should I fear it? Should I just keep playing the classic "living rules" with my kids?

Oppian Wives #ttrpg is smashing along now I've cleared some mental hurdles. Need to validate art truly is public domain, and formatting things. Art will have HEAVY mods, these are classical paintings to be messed with. Rules bits by me, then Tory does her bits in the ancient history / background.

Oppian Wives #ttrpg is smashing along now I've cleared some mental hurdles. Need to validate art truly is public domain, and formatting things. Art will have HEAVY mods, these are classical paintings to be messed with. Rules bits by me, then Tory does her bits in the ancient history / background.

May I add, if possible please add a PoD option for those of us in the uncharted territories of the planet like Australia... We can back your game, but when shipping adds another $30+ we all lose. Or something... I'd love to buy more games!

Next Friday the crowdfunding campaign for my gmless horror game, Pilot Episode, will be live! If you like sitcoms and/or lovecraftian horror be sure to check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma...

Our indie #ttrpg group in Brisbane has put in anti-AI rules. We'd hoped that those in the indie gamer community would know better but there are a few who still don't get it. Let's BE KIND BUT FIRM as people navigate this technological and societal shift. It's a big one and no one is perfect.

Oh hey I just got followed by @porcupinerpg.bsky.social I absolutely LOVE Malandros!!! I got this PoD copy from DriveThruRPG I think... great game! It inspired so much of what I'm trying to do with Oppian Wives.

I updated PDF pricing for my #ttrpg #storygame You'll Meet the Devil at a Crossroads on Itch to AUD - it's AUD$10 for the PDF. Don't forget if you are in AU/NZ and you buy a physical book the PDF is included for free. juggle-bubble.itch.io/youll-meet-t... buy.stripe.com/3cI00j2Ln1vf...

@mousehole.press I had the pleasure of running The Slow Knife again today at our mini-con Midsummer Nights in Brisbane Australia. Everyone always loves this game when it gets brought to play. Here are some shots of our board.
