I’ve heard people complain that they can’t find players for indie ttrpgs but I’ve had the opposite problem - lots of players, not so many willing to run a game. But I love when I meet another GM who’s excited to both run and play!
(Super pumped to play Thirsty Sword Lesbians and run it next month too)

There's an interesting alchemy by which, for certain TTRPG fans, WotC's misbehavior makes it more moral to play D&D if you're broke.
The logic goes something like this: WotC is bad, and therefore it is good to steal from them. Indie creators are good, and therefore it is bad to steal from them. Therefore, if you don't have money to spend on games, it is moral to play D&D and immoral to play indie games.
For some reason, the fact that this unimpeachable logic only benefits WotC and only harms indie creators is not relevant.

Feels like the vibe of The Naga playbook from Thirsty Sword Lesbians - especially with this artwork! I love the idea of power being expressed this way - it makes the character seem so much more inherently magical or supernatural
i am not immune to the "character's eyes glow when they use their powers" trope

100% my favourite part of the d&d movie was that holga had pit hair. i zoomed the fuck in on that. YES your female barbarian has armpit hair YES she does YES you fucking get it, yes this makes her a million times hotter. good fucking lord

Character Sheet Commission! This is Lavinia Carnagee, a Trickster in a Thirsty Sword Lesbians game. She's an octofrog.
The dagger is a sword breaker, to disarm and then use the natural poison in her hands
If you're interested in commissions, please check out this link to my pinned post. Prices vary, so feel free to DM me for a quote.

Sometimes morally grey turns out to just be evil in disguise
My players recently had the party destroy the Colosseum too 😂
Though at least in my Thirsty Sword Lesbian games, there’s a good chance of a “power of friendship” redemption story instead! 😆

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

Hey - You Should Check Out My Character Sheets
I've been making character sheets for various roleplaying games over the past few years, and I've gotten pretty fucking good at it. I've got everything from small, simple, sheets...

...to complex beasts with clocks that tick and self-populating sections that pull from numbers you put in specific boxes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've got big, trad-like games with lots of pieces...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...and more abstract story-games.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I include more than just character sheets! I include mission clocks, world-building tools...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
... and safety sheets with a list of common safety tools!

So check out my play-kits - you might find that game you want to play just a little bit easier to do!
