Wanna do something really sweet for International Ledbian Day?
Show this tired lesbian some love by downloading the TTRPG she made 🧡🤍💜
I put a lot of love and thought into making this a beautiful, easy to run, and easy to play game. Because I know I don't always want to read 200+ pages of rules. I just want to get straight right to flirting with my friends and having a ridiculous time with stompy robots! And I'm sure some of you do too
It's available to download for free!
Though any change you can spare is always appreciated. (That being said, I made this game to be played and enjoyed, so don't let that "pay what you want" deter you from downloading it. if you can't spare anything right now, I totally get it hun)

Thank you!
Tumblr will not let me post kickstarter links (idk why) only hide them under image files.
Everyone please use the link copper posted!
Radish Hail Mary
The world is like is it right now, and so I very much understand why an extremely indie ttrpg might not be funding, but I really want to let these radishes out into the world.
If you can spare some exposure for this hapless campaign, every reblog broadens the odds that I can release this (three years of development, 160+ pages) little game.
Radish Knights is:
-combat as a puzzle
-heroism as second nature
-vegetable fantasy

Radish Knights One Week
When October ends, so too will the Radish Knights campaign.
Radish Knights is a tabletop roleplaying tactics game with tiny vegetable warriors. It is 160+ pages, fully illustrated by human beings, and has been in development for three years.
It is also not funded yet, so any support---especially just signal boosts, please don't spend money unless you really want to and can afford it---is extremely welcome.
Radish Knights uses grid-based combat, simple rules, deep character building, and a dice system where your roll doesn't decide whether you'll succeed but how much energy success will cost you.
Playtests are also available. If you want to check out the game before making a decision, send me a message and I'll add you to one of the timeslots. This week (10/21/24) is extremely open, with most days having availability between 8 AM -- 7 PM EST.

Valiance Crest
Despite also currently running a kickstarter, I am still releasing a ttrpg thing every week.
This week's is Valiance Crest, a single page tactics rpg that is the direct outflow from me playing a Fire Emblem romhack last week and its mechanics and design subsequently curling around my brain like a wyrm around its hoard.

He Is Waiting
Not sure how else to advertise my humble 160+ page ttrpg other than to say that, for a brief but radiant window of time, the strongest build in the game was Asparagus Sephiroth.
If you too would like to play Asparagus Sephiroth, you might enjoy this 4e inspired, Final Fantasy Tactics inspired, vegetable chivalry rpg.

This playtest was immensely fun as the GM. I got to KO characters. I got menaced by the party. An entire bear got put into bramble jail. And Juniper executed the highest number of attacks in a single action that I've seen in three years of developing this game.
Also this art piece rules. The pose! The belt buckle! The embroidery! The narrowed eyes!
Support Radish Knights, but also check out Juniper's art! It's wonderful!
Played another Radish Knights session today. My character was like a glass canon myrmidon build. I dashed across the entire battlefield, perfect dodged a couple attacks of opportunity, swung 9 attacks in one turn, missed half of them, OHKO'd one enemy and then died. We won. I helped. This game is fun go support the kickstarter if you have leisure money available.

It's really cool to see tabletop being used in the classroom in this way, and I'm thrilled to have When We Made War Upon The Slumbering Woods featured alongside such an incredible roster!
Thank you for doing these writeups, psychhound! My day is immensely brightened.
ttrpgs in the classroom (part 8)
oh boy have i not made one of these posts in ,,, like a year. grad school is crazy yall. lmao. but. i wanted to share what we do for our analysis unit now that we've hit it this semester!!
other games used in the unit:
we are but worms & graves for funerals
the assignment:
write an essay of approximately 1000 words doing a literary analysis of some aspect of a game, first forming an inquiry question, then looking in the text for evidence, then coming up with an argument about a deeper meaning of the text. the second draft of the assignment can either be an expanded essay, or a multimodal piece of the student's choosing. (the other option for this essay is to do a rhetorical analysis of an argumentative text about gaming)
the games:
[ID: a powerpoint slide titled choose your fighter game (the word fighter is crossed out, so it reads choose your game). it shows five ttrpg titles, with a short description of each, and an icon to represent them. the background is a light orange sky and green grass in a video game like art style. there is a fake game menu bar on the bottom. the games in the slide are functionally described below. end ID]
when we made war upon the slumbering woods by richard kelly @sprintingowl
a collaborate journey into the magical woods ... to destroy it
the treasure at the end of this dungeon is an escape from this dungeon and we will never escape from this dungeon by riverhouse games @riverhousegames
a lyric game about a never-ending dungeon and those stuck there
kenzie's project by sasha winter @stargazersasha
a Weird Academia horror game for three players
i love you, alive girl by anna anthropy
a 1-page game about writing love letters under surveillance
drifters by gila rpgs
a Weird West game of gunslingers and their guns
past semesters game options:
a dragon game by chris bissette cozy town by rae nedjadi @temporalhiccup
the process:
in the powerpoint introducing the games, i have a more thorough description of each one, and then three examples of inquiry questions that they could use as jumping off points to do their analysis on. the inquiry questions ask things like, what moral stance might this game align itself with, what other stories is this game in dialogue with and to what effect, what does this game have to say about the current state of our society? the students can use these inquiry questions or not, theyre only meant to be examples
the results:
this is definitely the most challenging project for my students, but i think that challenge is good for them! i've had really mixed results, with the most common issue i run into just being surface level analysis. they are, however, 18 and have never done anything like this before (for the vast majority of my students) so a lot of my feedback is just pushing them further and trying to get them to say something interesting. i really love a dragon game and cozy town, but i found they didnt have enough context of ttrpgs and dnd/pf to really Get why a dragon game was interesting, so i replaced it with escape from this dungeon since thats got some more meat for them like voicey rules and characters. and im a big fan of nedjadi's games and wanted to give my students something more cute and fun, but they struggled to find much to read into or say about it that wasnt very surface level. escape from this dungeon and ilu, alive girl are new games this semester so we will see how those go over!!

Thank you for your support!
Radish Knights - Tiny Vegetable Champions
I'm currently kickstarting Radish Knights, my 130+ page tabletop roleplaying game about chivalric vegetable tactics.
The thing about the indie scene is, you get to make games like this. You get to slap Final Fantasy Tactics into 4e and decide that the dice system is d10, roll middle, for some unguessable reason and you get to playtest for years, slowly adding bits and bobs to the system until you've made something that's as much Into The Breach as it is anything else, and then you take that thing onto kickstarter...
...and you remember that it's *always* a rough market for indie ttrpgs.
Genuinely, I think if you like strategy and you like heroic fantasy and you like worldbuilding that takes itself seriously even when the premise is ridiculous, you'll like this thing.
The art's all hand-drawn by Jonas Wittmann, who's worked on my other games Mendicant and Rod Reel And Fist.
The combat moves fast, and you have a lot of control over the dice.
I'd love to see this thing fund, and I'm hopeful that we can make Radish Knights a reality.

Thank you!
Tumblr errors every single time I try to post a kickstarter link, and has for months now, so I tucked the link under the image. But now I'm realizing it just shows up there as a generic kickstarter link, and it has to be clicked on directly. Clicking the image just opens the image.
I don't know how you got the link to post by itself, but I appreciate it a ton!

Thank you Juniper!
Confirming all of the above and adding that playtesting is open if anyone wants to try out the game. Just message me, I'll set it up, and you too can do immortal geomancy tanking against evil corn!
Radish Knights
Radish Knights is crowdfunding until the end of October 2024.
Radish Knights is a 100% human-made tabletop rpg.
It's inspired by D&D 4e, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Heralds Of Valdemar.
Dice rolls are simple, and character creation is about picking out the kinds of tools you want to use. Push. pull, teleport, summon terrain, perform special attacks, all while balancing your meters.
The world is one of noble vegetables, where knights patrol the byways solving problems for villages and kudzu dragons and maplepires cast a long shadow from the north.
I am a solo creator and I would love to be able to bring this game to everyone. With your support, we can make tactical vegetable storytelling a reality.

Am I currently crowdfunding a ttrpg? Yes.
Am I also still releasing a ttrpg every week? Also yes.
Did reading Dead Ball have a permanent effect on me? Also yes.
Play baseball to pass checks, and to survive the cruelty of the GM.

Botany
Game design is realizing you've added both Brussel Hounds and Cranwolves to your setting, thus implying a world wherein multiple things have convergently evolved into a dog.
