Curious about the underlying system behind Hellbent? It's powered by the Year Zero Engine from Free League Publishing with some homebrewed tweaks under the hood. You can check out our rulebook for free (along with a whole lot more) on our Wiki! savingthrowshow.fandom.com/wiki/Hellben...

Listen, the weird west is weird but sometimes real life is weirder. Hellbent episode 1 is out now on our YouTube and podcast. Get all the details at savingthrowshow.com

Hello there! I am an excellent editor of TTRPG words and I have time in my calendar through October and November to edit *your* TTRPG words. Check out the details and the kind words folks have said about my work, and let's talk. renaissancedork.wordpress.com/need-an-edit...

It's Hellbent Day, time to saddle up! Tune in to https://youtube.com/savingthrowshow or https://hellbent.castos.com/ to watch or listen to our new Weird West actual play. Episodes release weekly, and episode deep-dives can be found on our wiki https://savingthrowshow.fandom.com/

Coming September 23rd - an all-new Weird West video/podcast Actual Play with GM @thatbronzegirl.bsky.social , starring an amazing cast including @br00taldan.bsky.social @bananachangames.bsky.social @im-squid.bsky.social and @kyletown.bsky.social! Head to https://f.mtr.cool/2fbwst4s05 for more info!

It's maybe fortuitous that on this PAX weekend I have completed production on the videos for the upcoming @hellbentrpg.bsky.social Actual Play! Episodes coming to YouTube and podcast starting September 23rd!

I’d love to make a starter pack of BIPOC TTRPG artists. 👀 Tag your faves ✨🖤✨ Sharing is caring 😎 #art #BIPOC #POC #artist #ttrpg #dnd #vtm #rpg

My buddy @djregular.tech puts out this awesome list every Friday of solid stuff from music to causes to insights. It's all worth it! Give it a read and listen!

Sad to be missing ECCC this weekend but it's for good reasons! Editing season 1 of our new show @hellbentrpg.bsky.social! Coming soon!

It's been a bit, but production is trucking along. Episode 1 has locked, and episode 2 editing is midway through! Hang tight, we're coming!

We are also putting our money where our mouth is. Today we have taken 10% of all the purchases made on our webstore in the last quarter and donated it to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Stand strong. Stay united. Serve in whatever way you are called to. 💪

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

TL;DR on the giveaway, I've added WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund to the list of charities to donate. There's also a link to various Minnesota orgs and funds that are helping people on the ground. Spread it around, give if you can.

Anyone running on 'dismantle the DHS' gets my vote and active support immediately. The US allowing the shared psychosis of the war on terror to become agreed upon governance is probably my generation's version of leaving Reconstruction unfinished.

If you lack basic empathy at this point because "it didn't happen to you" you are beyond saving. To everyone else with a shred of human decency, I'm sorry this is your introduction to how marginalized communities have been treated around the world for millenia. I'm heartbroken. We must be better.

ICYMI: What's Good is live! Along with the new music the Bonus Beats has @natepatrin.bsky.social going long on Serengeti's Kenny Dennis tapestry, DJ sets from Flying Lotus and Bugseed, August Fanon paying tribute to Sade, and more!

First What's Good of 2026 is live! New joints from Bbymutha, Vic Spencer & August Fanon, Wiki, Robyn, Equipto & Brycon, and more! Plus I'm opening up my efforts to trade donations to Al Otro Lado and Trans Youth Emergency Project for a copy of Mercy. Tap in! blog.djregular.tech/whats-good-w...

Did you know if you start an episode of Nate & Jeremiah: Save My House at 10:34pm on NYE it'll end exactly at 11:16pm? Just a handy trick! Enjoy responsibly and Happy New Year everyone!

Saw this guy yesterday on our walk around Shilshole. It was a gorgeous day with lots of critters including bald eagles, sea lions, grebes, starfish, and more. Such a good day!

New influx of BlueSky folx? Hello and welcome! I produce Actual Play content on Saving Throw. Some of your favorite performers got their starts here! And some of your favorite games were played! And I've got more content coming in 2026. Welcome on in and let's have some fun! savingthrowshow.com

Apologies for slipping this year, my friends. 2025 beat my ass, so I'm not going to be getting a Year-In-Review post up before the end of the year. HOWEVER, come through for other places to go, and a pitch to maybe do some good. blog.djregular.tech/whats-good-y...

Hellbent was built using the Year Zero Engine from #FreeLeague and as such has a ton of flexibility. It's an exciting system and one that gave us a lot of room to explore all sorts of interactions knowing we had a comfort blanket of mechanics to back it all up. I'm so excited to share the show soon!

And here is the new Advanced Friends & Math Rocks design! #ttrpg #dnd d20monkey.dashery.com/products/843...

My games are 20% off for Creator Day — or you can nab em ALL for $20! Highlights include… GODKILLER ashcan: a holypunk duet game (not) about killing god Halo ‘n’ Horns: 2 GMs convince 1 player to do good — or bad Roll-Play: a system agnostic, relationship-building minigame bit.ly/ConnieBF2025 🗡️🩸

Managed to remember to point folks toward my Itch page on Creator's Day for once. Salute me while I spend today working on a new thing. (As a reminder, you can play my interactive fiction browser game, 'Play This Only At Night' for free.) djregular.itch.io

OK, now that the shoot is in the can, what's next? I'm glad you asked! Editing has begun and for a show meant to be both entertaining AND accessible (the two are not mutually exclusive!) that means a lot of backend work. Help the process and keep us going by donating today! store.savingthrowshow.com

This week's What's Good is live! New music from De La Soul, Deniro Farrar & Child Actor, Ransom & Conductor Williams, Chuck Strangers & Evidence, Miri Tyler, Converge, and much more! Tap in, tell a friend, etc. blog.djregular.tech/whats-good-w...

Sad I can't be at PAX U this year to talk about @hellbentrpg.bsky.social and the joys and struggles of producing independent RPG AV content. Here's to an epic 2026 tho! Have fun everybody!

Good morning to all appreciators of passionate about graphic design xoxo Here’s my pax unplugged schedule, leave a comment if you have any critiques on my layout skills!!!! x
