It’s times like these I’m reminded about just how tiny the TTRPG scene is.
Andrew DoullHmmm wonder if there’s any good sci-fi TTRPG podcasts out there. Ansible Uplink is good but…
average Sixty Years in Space enjoyer:
Andrew DoullWhereas I knew people who’d now be like “oh you played 7 Part Pact for a week? That’s cute”.
Between this and classic Traveller worked, I think an entire generation of designers lost an understanding of how much these games were actually played
cavegirlif you take the games for what they actually are and run them as big sprawling immersive simulations of their big sprawling detailed settings, they're really really good and the games function wonderfully
For me, it is usually cheaper to fly to the USA to buy an indie TTRPG hard cover than it is to pay for shipping costs.
Andrew DoullI’ve just been on the rollercoaster of “holy shit they have an Australian warehouse” to “holy shit that’s in USD”
Just posted a "Planning for Update 8" post for Sixty Years in Space -- even though I haven't finished update 7c. Have a read. itch.io/t/6723680/pl...
Planning for update 8 - 60 Years in Space communityThis is probably a little premature; and looking back at my previous planning posts I keep promising features that get pushed back and don't make the release. However I'd like to lay out more of a shaitch.ioIt’s great to see Zephyr getting coverage. But also oof (Mostly because I have very complicated feelings about hiding reviews behind Patreon paywalls).
QuinnsToday on the Patreon I wrote about 2000 words on Zephyr, a spellbinding new TTRPG that I'm sad to say won't be getting a Quinns Quest review for some taxing reasons. www.patreon.com/qquest/posts...
Come back to me with your “Film that you’ve watched more than six times” thread when your hard mode is “in the cinema”
Great to see people getting what I’m doing with All Errors are My Own. This science fiction omnibus is the Mythic Bastionland land myths but for a hard sci fi setting and conceived 10 years earlier. half-apress.itch.io/all-errors-a...

John WiswellPeople really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.
Regular reminder that you can post a question on an indie TTRPG designer*’s itch page like “This game looks great. Is it playable solo?” and they’ll spend 6 months and hundreds of hours updating the game so that it is. * I mean me itch.io/t/4788895/pl...
Playable Solo - 60 Years in Space communityTitle! Is it playable solo? I REALLY love this game, and only just recently realized it was based on the game (I kickstarted it a while back, never played it yet though...), and am very interested! Thitch.io
