Sandro AD 🔜 PAX Unplugged

[ ~ Where grief stirs, spirits linger ~ ] Dive into the kaleidoscopic fantasy of Beneath the Floating World, a Carved from Brindlewood game of psychedelic zenpunk exorcism ~ Uncover twisted truths, face supernatural horrors and navigate your mortal woes . . . sandroad.itch.io/restrain-ref...

A blog post about false rumors. Don't use 'em! Well, maybe if you're very good, you can have one or two.

Checklist for Making a Cool Monster Vampires are undeniably cool. I break down what makes them so cool and how that can be applied to designing other monsters to make them almost as cool as a vampire #osr #ttrpg

In the distant future, humanity has been subjugated. You are the Operatives. Enforce Doctrine's Will Operatives Revolve is a scifi/biohorror slay the spire-like that I wrote. It releases next month and you can wishlist it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3004810/...

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Really worried about my cat today, so if you feel like distracting me with game questions please feel free!

Digital Angel was in no small part written as a platform for talking about how multifaceted beauty and the pursuit of embodying yourself while still trying to make a living in a /very/ public facing position ~

I want more tabletop games that flesh out your character's backstory with flashbacks 4-5 sessions in ~ Let me get invested in the table's blorbos and see why they're like this later instead of coming to the table with a lore bible for a character we've never met

I'm way behind on blog posts nowadays, but I'm doing my best to make them thoughtful and worthwhile. This week I spend some time thinking about TTRPGs that ask players to draw at the table, why that's not very common, and what I think we miss out on: thoughtsabout.games/blog/posts/d...

I can't find all of them, but I've started to make a habit of asking to take photos of (or keep, if players want me to) the hoverbikes people draw when I run Ridge City Riders with them. Some people have wild definitions of "hoverbike" and honestly I love that for them, these all fucking rule

We will be launching Bastion Elysium in Indonesia at a local ren fair 🔥 Hopefully we can launch it internationally soon 🙏 44 pages (incl. covers), four political factions, a murder mystery, an apartment crawl, weird & quirky NPCs, and heavily inspired by Disco Elysium! #ttrpg #osr

🚨NEXT COOL ADVENTURE ALERT🚨 The next new hotness by power couple @isaacisafraid.bsky.social and Citaaticat!

I wrote an adventure for Hilander's zine. Check it out if you want more urban content. (Allegedly for Cairn, but easy to hack.) Goblin Punch: Fletchwind Kickstarter share.google/wBTu2d7nOyCf...

I love getting to make Halloween decorations at my job

I've got a special treat today! We organized a collaborative project in @prismaticwasteland.com's discord. Our goal was a hexcrawl project inspired by OVER THE GARDEN WALL. This is the PRISMATIC PUMPKINCRAWL. 31 powderkeg-packed hexes. It's completely free. mindstormpress.itch.io/prismatic-pu...

Oh, fuck off, Bluesky. Sex workers helped build this website.

REACH OUT AND CUT SOMEBODY

There's two princesses, although you would not know it from the identical markings on their carapaces. One prowls the halls, crawling under doors, dragging staff away in the night. The other tends the nest. The hum of wings is so loud you can barely sleep. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rod...

OKOK the amount of GenAI garbo in the Steam Next Fest is depressing, so here's the human made stuff I'm playing that looks pretty darn sweet ~ What are y'all trying?

Topically, I am part of the problem...

blight on man, vermin kin. A Lightless Autotomy?

psst. hey, kid. want some horror themed indie TTRPGs for spooky season? youtu.be/2bbX-4avFKY?...

The video game market seems flooded with AI slop, the board game market seems flooded with IP cash-grabs, and the TTRPG market seems flooded with brilliant beautiful people breathing life into incredible ideas and adventures -.-

I’m like 3 days late on this but I gotta say ArcaneCon was easily one of the best game event experiences I’ve had in a while. A very inspiring group of people that I look forward to seeing again soon!

This is why we go to the trans social at the local barcade

#CANARYCORPS, the visual novel I've been working on with some friends, is now released! Go check it out! rattlegeist.itch.io/canary-corps

Existing sword world fans wanted 1 to 1 small factor translations of the books as released in Japan. New fans wont be able to tell this from the FFXIV game next to it on the shelf. Who exactly are they marketing this towards? (Whales.)

To Feel Your Warmth is LIVE on BackerKit! A tragic duet vampire TTRPG about two people in love, one of which has been cursed with vampirism, in the final hours before sunset. A conversation about love, trust, and the decision to move forward together or say goodbye forever. 🩸🚪🌅

Shaymin Shaped

Excited to announce that CANARY CORPS, the VN I've been working on, comes out on itchio next week! If "robot yuri visual novel" sounds up your alley- stay tuned! #canarycorps

People always talk about Spec-Evo, but no one is talking about Maid-Evo

to help smooth things over a bit i have put my entire itch library on same for the next *year*. consider me very, very available for freelance work. if you need playbooks, stretch goal content, anything, i'm your girl. itch.io/s/204730/fin...

i've been helping sage the anagogue work on SUZi, and after deliberation we've decided to host the game on my patreon for ease of access. i'll probably post more about working on it here (especially as i take up the mantle of part 2 and onwards) bsky.app/profile/anag...

Traysikel: Ride or Die is now forever sold out for conventions! @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social has the only physical copies left for sale within the United States and they’re currently 40% off for their Halloween sale. A second edition zine is in the works - so, let’s clear up these dual pamphlets!

"The next time you play a human fighter after you play a Kreen or a snake with no arms or a magic sword your experience as a human fighter is enriched. Because now you are aware about the shape of your human-fighter body." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I've just buffed being dead. You can now be dead more effectively, and with far greater impact on the game. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rod...

If you've liked this particular zine, you may be happy to know we've made a lot more things before it! Namely, a whole bunch of tabletop games, accompanying soundtracks, themed videogame mods and even a single, videogame-shaped piece of software just this year! Find it all on: datasparrow.net

PENGUIN COLONY - THE FIELD NOTES, the official zine-journal to @origamedigital.bsky.social Penguin Colony, is OUT NOW! 40 Pages of hand-written notes chronicling the last days of a previous expedition, available in full color and print-ready black and white! [ datasparrow.itch.io/penguin-colo... ]
