In an exciting sequel to my last post, I want there to be more content about non-dnd TTRPG that arent just the maker promoting it. I love the self promotion, but I feel like that’s all I really see.

Anyone read or play anything weird recently?

Itch.io should have a steam workshop for games and Crucially it should not be restricted to popular games or computer games. I want to submit a 2 paragraph text document as a "mod" for somebody's 10-page indie rpg

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

Wanderer of the Dark Rides

In one step, I can walk through a whole world

Our second Queue is based on dark rides, the ones with an incessant looping song and are associated with the Wonder.

With them, sometimes size is a matter of perspective. We live in a such a small world after all.

Find Where the magic never ends? , the lumen game about the power of abandoned theme park and the Coaster Mages that seek it out on itch.io

The Park Manager

The Park Manager, or PM, is the gm equivalent of this game. Fairly classic. And then I got into the layout and thought " Hey this spread is nice, I will use it for the start of the park manager section". Except it only had the top half. And I thought it was kinda empty. But I had nothing to put there. I did not want to start with the gm rules already. And I remember my little in-game introduction. And wrote, automatic, no thoughts, head full of words. This is the result. And it changed the Park Manager forever.

My new game, Heart of the Cards, is now available!

It's an epistolary game using affirmations inspired by YuGiOh, please check it out.

This was actually a commission I did a few years back, I only just got around to releasing it now.

I have no idea how to market this game so any effort to boost it would be greatly appreciated.

I know we indie ttrpg snobs on this website kinda collectively moved on from getting mad at people using "D&D" as a generic term for all ttrpgs like two years ago in favor of having more productive discussions but. Oh boy. Boy oh boy.

There's something I've repeatedly seen with posts TTRPG blogs like @thydungeongal or @anim-ttrpgs make/reblog - most recently with that "mental gymnastics" meme - where the post will tell people to play another game instead of going through the effort of squeezing D&D's square block into their campaign's round hole, and inevitably, people will comment "or just pirate D&D books!", which just... doesn't make sense? Pirating the books doesn't make the game better! It's like seeing someone eat soup with a fork and instead of telling them to use a spoon, you tell them to shoplift their forks.

But then I realized something. That's just another symptom of D&D players seeing playing TTRPGs as activism. When they see someone saying "play another game", they mentally add "...because WotC is a bad company!" even if the post very explicitly says "...because D&D is a bad game (for this kind of gameplay)!"

I have no real conclusion for this. It's just stupid.

Do you know the advice "play your characters like stolen cars" ?

With a session 0 where I am a player coming and looking at my past characters, especially those created on the Anim ttrpg book club for Eureka, FIST and Triangle Agency...

I realised I don't play them like stolen cars... I create them like stolen cars

Received some parks I commissioned from writer friends.

Damn, I really need to up my game so to speak, you all are doing way too great work

what if you wore a shirt that featured a picture of you trying to claw your way out of the shirt with a horrid desperate expression and the text "THAT'S NOT ME THAT'S NOT ME I'M TRAPPED IN THE SHIRT"

The production value here is off the charts but this is also literally just what it feels like to play Uno.

Had a dream that I drew this dragon and felt disappointed when I woke up that it wasn't real so I drew it all over again.
