WildSpace Revisted

If you've been following my posts you might remember a game I was working on and posted about called WildSpace which is a Sci-fi Furry RPG. Little bit of Starfox, little bit of Firefly, little bit of Cowboy Bebop. It was a game I was going to launch via KS which I can't do because Skies Above is currently in Prelaunch. WildSpace ended up being a smaller project than I initially thought it would be. It's about half the size of Skies Above both page size and page count. I'm planning on doing a digital launch first and if people seem to vibe with it them maybe raise some funds for a printed version!

Games old and New!

Hello I'm awful at being consistent on tumblr! I'm Andy I go by Lost Haven or Lost Haven Art online. I'm an illustrator but also an indie TTRPG designer. So far I've released 3 games out into the world, one was nominated for an award. I have to on my desk at the moment that are nearing completion. Here's a little information on all five!

THEME: TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Ohio

This is a special rundown of some of the tabletop games found in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights - Ohio Bundle currently being offered on Itch.io! The offer ends on May 3rd, 2025.

Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes, by Nerdy Pup Games.

Play misfit outlaws fighting against the authoritarian Powers That Be in a hyper-saturated, film-grained, retro dystopia. Save the future with the power of friendship, whoopass, and explosions! Features sticker-based character advancement, effortless cinematic vehicle action, and player-driven Ride-or-Die system usings d4s, d6s, d8s, d10s, and d12s.

Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes is colorful, with art that pops off the page and plenty of ready-to-use scenarios to jump-start play as soon as you sit down at the table. Dive into a post-apocalypse full of young punks in a world you build yourself, with plenty of tools to help you create settlements, beasts, gear, and much much more. If you like car chases and vehicle stunts, this is probably a game for you, with purposefully-designed vehicle scenes written into the game.

Songbirds 3e, by snow.

"Moon's haunted."

Songbirds 3e is a tabletop roleplaying game about undeath, supernatural powers, and the blue dreams of the moon. In the game, you create a strange survivor of the world who was chosen (or cursed) by Death. Spirits aren't able to pass on to the afterlife and grow monstrous with each passing day. You know the songs to send them on. You have the abilities that help you find them. You are the canary in the coal mine.

Songbirds 3e has received a great amount of critical acclaim as a beautiful, mysterious, tantalizing game that blends eldritch fantasy dungeon crawls with pieces of sci-fi blended in. It's inspired by Into the Odd, Persona 5, Blades in the Dark, Red Giant, Disco Elysium, Fallout New Vegas, and much much more.

Sound Check, by Misha.grifka.

Sound Check is a game about being in a band. Rehearse, party, get interviewed and get intimate - but don't forget, it's all leading up to one thing: the Big Show. Each player will have their own musician with a unique playbook, but everyone works together to tell the story of an up-and-coming band, in any musical genre you like.

Running on the Firebrands system, Sound Check will explore the story of your band through a series of scenes, using trope-centred playbooks to build a character with strong beats and clear direction. This game has one of my favorite kinds of mechanics: a stress track that eventually brings you to an explosion, which is an action that adds narrative tension and conflict, such as making an enemy out of a friend, or having an emotional breakdown. If you want drama and heightened emotion, you want Sound Check.

Dinocar, by Dinoberry Jam.

Imagine a world almost entirely the same as our own, except someone's magical wish to meet the dinosaurs came true. But after the welcome party, what were they all to do? Well, they went on to have regular modern lives alongside our own; bills to pay, families to feed, jobs to work. Most unfortunately of all, though, they have cars to drive–and none of them are really any good at it.

That’s what happens when you’re a 12-foot tall reptile with big legs and tiny arms, it’s just really hard to fit into a compact economy-size sedan and even harder to operate the dang thing.

In Dinocar, you and as many friends as you can gather will work together to map out a snippet of that world. You’ll paint a map, draw landmarks, slap buildings into place, and take turns going on chaotic road trips and commutes. At the end of a game of Dinocar, you’ll have a story to tell and a wonderful map to either frame on the wall or stick to the fridge.

Dinocar feels fun & whimsical, and feels perfect for folks who don't like to get messy, as well as kids.

The Stone Flesh Gift, by ATypicalFaux.

A silhouette blocks the stars, darker than the space it drifts through. Several amber eyes encased in crystal peer out from the shadows. When dappled in light from the closest sun, the remnants of petroglyphs can be seen carved across its hull, hewn from a single black stone harder than steel. The ship has no comms, no transponder, just a pulsating thump within a membrane running through the stone like a vein of ore. A glistening docking umbilical gently sways as it’s pulled behind the vessel, stretching toward anything that approaches, looking to touch, to connect.

The Stone-Flesh Gift is a 40-page TTRPG module with a focus on exploration and body horror, to be played with the Mothership sci-fi horror RPG. The players will wade through the innards of a lost ceremonial offering, an ancient alien bio-engineering factory and living ship called The Gift, as they work to avoid its dangers, discover its secrets, and plug their brains directly into its organs to feel their thoughts.

This is the only item on this list that isn't a game in itself, but instead a supplement for a game - but if you like space horror, The Stone Flesh Gift is a title I've seen time and time again. It's great for folks who love body horror, and gritty stories of addiction and disease.

In Conclusion...

If any of these games look interesting to you, get them for a steal by picking up the TTRPGS for Trans Rights Bundle on Itch.io!

Skies Above Update 3!

It's my birthday but it hasn't stopped me working on my current game project Skies Above. The new Ashcan Update is now live in Itch!

This is update number 3 and I've included a few things in here.

Overhauled the Crafting System (Again)

I've got some more recipes!

I've added the basis for a few more monster types

A few Job Classes have gained addition skills or changes to existing ones.

Changed how conditions function in the game.

Added a table of contents!

I'd honestly love to hear from the folks who've downloaded the game so far and what you're impressions are and any suggestions.

Here's a screen shot of the new Contents pages!

Hello!

Figure it's been long enough that I can post a new about me type post.

My name is Andy, I live near Glasgow in Scotland. I'm an Illustrator and Indie Tabletop Game Designer. I have a First Class Honours in Digital Art and Design, I was briefly a high school art teacher, I've worked as part of a number of charity funded social art projects, including one I'm currently doing on designing a roleplaying game with 12-14 year olds with mental health issues.

I've done artwork for a few indie devs in the TTRPG including Awfully Queer Heroes. I've also released 3 games that I've designed. Irezumi, Abbadon and Stone: A Dwarf Saga. All of which are available through @indiepressrevolution for North America and via my own webstore for the UK (or anywhere really.)

I've also got a couple of other games on the backburner, including one I hope to release later this year.

Prelaunch is live!

Step into a world of adventure with this forthcoming tabletop RPG, inspired by the beloved classic JRPGs and featuring a user-friendly d8 system. The game unfolds in a land once devastated by magic in an event called, The Breaking, now the remnants of the world drift among the clouds. After many centuries, the survivors of this new world navigate it with crystal-powered airships, and embark on quests of discovery across lands filled with monstrous creatures. Meanwhile, fresh civilizations have arisen, each showcasing their own cultural identities, beliefs about the elemental goddesses, some of which are immersed in complex political intrigues.

Playing Cards in TTRPGs

So, an absolute age back I made a video (that was this year? really?) about playing cards in TTRPGs. As part of that video I created a list of TTRPGs that used playing cards to some degree.

The video in question

That list has a new home! I've also added some more games to it.

If your game uses playing cards and you'd like it added to the list, let me know! Equally, if you know a game you think should be on there, the same goes!

This is the second post I've made for the blog on my website, and there will be more: this is a promise and a threat. If you like what I make and want to hear more, check it out! I'm aiming for informative, useful or interesting in every entry, preferrably all three.

The guy taking tickets said I looked like a particular character from somewhere???

No idea who but sometimes I just got vibes lol~

[losthavenart]

So, you want to make a TTRPG... remastered

A while back I made this post with a tonne of resources for making your own TTRPG. That post has... expanded a little.
