You should all check this out - Nick's games are consistently innovative and fun! (And, crucially for high concept indie stuff, very playable)
Love This Is How You Lose the Time War?
Then you're also going to love Against Time and Death, a two-player #ttrpg about the forbidden relationship between two operatives on opposite sides of a multiversal time war.
Launching on Kickstarter in February 2025 -- link below!

Wreck this Deck is such an amazing game (unless you really like your deck of playing cards) and was my inspiration for writing rule books as in-world artefacts. So good. And also so upsetting. Because I like my decks of playing cards.

Played any Breathless-based games yet? We did our first one, The Facility by @GPejeau , last night. If you love Portal, murderous robots, and extremely lateral thinking, this is a good game for you.

Suppose you're playing an indie-style GMed game (PBTA games being a good exemplar). How many scenes would you, with your group, typically expect to get through in a session of play, and how long would that session be?

If you're a UK tabletop creative of any kind, you ought to join the TIN discord - it's proving to be a wonderful resource for advice and support. And if you're a creative of colour this now goes double!

Excited to see buddies at @UKGamesExpo today! @arbitorian and I are getting there at lunchtime! Don’t forget to bring any unused dice to donate and say hi at @GameTherapyUK 🌠🌟⭐️✨
Your fave TTRPG therapeutic gaming charity is heading to @UKGamesExpo and looking forward to seeing you there. Swing by and say “hi”. Also drop off any unused dice or minis in our ‘box of shame’ and we’ll rehouse them with love in one of our many TTRPG projects. #ttrpgcommunity

New Black Armada Tales episode! Tentacle Garden City is really hotting up now and the Underage Skate Kids and Community Theatre are feeling the pressure.
But the one question on everyone's lips is: will the Neighbourhood Watch ever leave Wes's street?

I'm biased because Nick has hired me to do art for several of his games (and it's been a wonderful, creative, collaborative experience each time) but this thread on art and tabletop RPGs is great!

I got to do a really cool illustration for this game— check it out if you dig tabletop RPGs or just cool stuff in general
The updated and improved second edition of CHIRON'S DOOM, the storytelling game about an ill-fated expedition to explore a mysterious monument, is out now!
Good for solo journalling, or up to 3 brave (probably doomed) explorers.

Come and join us for this very ridiculous game of Tentacle City, with a British twist. If you liked the cornetto trilogy, you'll love this.
New episode! The tentacles are beginning to spread as our stranded aliens flee from the Tentacle Garden City crazy golf course, and the ladies of the Women's Institute continue to seek an acceptably fresh scone to have with their tea.

ALT on a grainy black background, text that reads "4.13.2024" along with a string of dice. the dice are spaced out and arranged so that each die corresponds to a digit of the date (a four, then a one, then a three, and so on). the die in the zero position in "2024" has a devil's face on it.

Lovecraftesque 2nd edition is now available to pre-order! If you missed out on the crowdfunding campaign, it's not too late. A GMless eldritch horror game, where you can tell the sort of stories Lovecraft might have written if he wasn't a massive racist.
