Aaaaaaaaaand, it is now live! The second expansion for my chill hangout ttrpg Fractal Romance is out! Eternal Distortion has five new playbooks and also a whole new set of alternate card-randomizer lists you can use in the core game!

Fractal Romance is a pretty loose No Dice No Masters style game, where you use playing cards to fuel moves and procedurally generate the Fractal Palace and its denizens. It's a game all about vibes and atmosphere, hanging out, and exploring.

You can snag the core game plus both expansions in one bundle for the next couple of weeks!

Titanomachy makes really rad stuff! If you have the opportunity to check out their work, I highly recommend it!

if you're not in a position to sub, a reblog would really help me out, thanks!

my game "little shepherd, little spy" a solo ttrpg about being a shepherd (and spy) during the fairy war, is in this bundle :) cute little bundle for those who like plants, nature, and agriculture!!

I'm like 50% sure Mario Bava does this in one of his movies (I think Black Sunday?) The movie ends, the camera pulls back, and it shows the the set, the director, all the other props and techniques and people that go into making the shot.

went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, the stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."

Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

Presented without further comment, here's what ttrpg testing looks like:

Farm And Garden TTRPG

From 6/9/25 - 7/6/25, I am hosting the Farm And Garden Center TTRPG bundle.

Ten indie creators, twenty one games, 80% off.

The range of what constitutes a farm game is also pretty wide.

There's dungeon crawlers, mech tactics, journaling games, dice stacking, a full combat larp where you hit each other with leeks, and more.

All profits are split evenly between contributing authors.

she died 17 days ago. you think. last weekend you got the letter in the mail. her handwriting. her lipstick stain on the crease. the return address carefully penned as her childhood home three states away

so you drove. barely packed. just drove and then you were there and then you were knocking and walking in when the lock clicked open and that was two days ago, maybe. you've been walking since

toxic yuri bury your gays haunted house game ... an attempt to make a ttrpg "walking sim"

ideally a game that feels bad and sucks to play 👍

32-page formatted zine with unique layout on every page plus a dyslexia friendly plaintext. explore 7 rooms (endlessly), with 15 rituals (mandatory), and 70 items to find herein

you'll need paper or a journal, a writing implement, as well as one full set of dice (d4 through d20) and an even surface to stack them on (and knock them down ...)

rancid little playlist included on the itch page

find it on itch here!!

I did not know about this project?!

That's incredibly rad and I'm looking forward to checking it out when it releases.

Always wild to think I have influenced a thing.

Shudderspeed

It's been a couple years since I played Fatal Frame and it dragged out of me a bite-sized TTRPG that you play with your camera.

Shudderspeed is about lonely, weird people banishing ghosts. It was written as one page, and then expanded iteratively until I had enough to assemble into a complete edition.

It's designed to be played in person (as the GM waves around a "ghost" that the players have to try and photo,) but there's support for other modes of play---including a solo version where you run through your house in the dark.

There's also a bunch of third party stuff that people wrote that's linked on the page, including scenarios and whole new systems about doing technical photography.

Taur

New TTRPG. OSR-y style, weird gimmick where every time you make a check you take damage---how much depends on how hard it was.

You can also offset some of this damage by just rushing in and not asking how much it's going to hurt.

There's character classes, a modest bestiary, a starter scenario, and some worldbuilding. All packed into 23 pages.

Strays

It's the 1950s and you're a runaway. The court blood in your veins calls to realms beyond your own. The fae want you to choose---your powers or your humanity.

Strays is my 246 page stab at a faerie story. It's a ttrpg. It's got urban fantasy and horror muddled in. All of the courts are toxic in their own ways. The world made by adults sucks.

You can pay for it if you want, but all of my works have a free download---just hit the Claim Access button instead of Buy Now.

Now at IPR: Big Dog, Big Volcano

Big Dog, Big Volcano is a 3 player roleplaying game about an oblivious hiker, a dangerous island, and a very good dog. It's a 3-player, GM-less game that takes 60-90 minutes to play. You'll need a six sided die.
