The FINALE of my #NOTORIOUS and #OUTSIDERS trilogy mode by @alwayscheckers is up now on podcast feeds everywhere! ISIL-8 meets an old lead once more, and tracks down the minds behind the bot-human cloning program, but no one involved will go down without a fight...

[John Harper @john_harper]

I've designed three open-source RPG systems that are free to use in your own projects. Let's talk about them! 👇

people have accused me of overcharging for flying circus, but like… wow

… and its d20 based lol

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

Episode 5 of #NOTORIOUS is up everywhere you get your podcasts! The final leg of trilogy mode begins with ISIL-8 receiving message leading them to the planet of Nos, refuge of the mystic-marked, and the place where they'll finally get answers about the cloning program...

Wrote some thoughts about the very complicated FOMO back-and-forth I've been feeling about GenCon this year.

@friede Characters without Stories by Star is a great podcast about character concepts that have yet to hit the table!

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

Gotta love physical fulfillment days! I got the new @alwayscheckers game #Revolt! as I was editing the next #NOTORIOUS episode, and WOW this game is gorgeous. I can't wait to dive in and get my insurgency on!

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

BONUS episode! This time I brought my home group crew along to play @FreeLeaguePub's #Dragonbane scenario The Sinking Tower, which is amazing because it all takes place on a 2-hour timer! If you're looking for a fantasy game to break out from 5e, highly recommended!

Fun yard sale find yesterday! Before forums, reddit, or your favorite RPG blogs, there was Dragon magazine (for D&D). These aren't the oldest issues, but still fun to look back at the hobby and see that even though we've come a long way, things haven't changed all that much 🤣

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

New #DesignDiary episode talking about games I've been developing. Please let me know if any sound fun to you, and it'll motivate me even more to finish them! Post-catastrophe exploration and community building to simple kid friendly animal adventures, and lots of weird mechanics

[lin codega @lincodega]

If you’ve got the license for a nostalgic mid-aughts IP, the best way to make money is to crowdfund a TTRPG. You don't even need to have a game written, just throw that bad boy up on Kickstarter and rake it in.

This Friday come hang with me and Christian from the @dms_after_dark as we go through questions from you all live on Twitch! If you have any questions, reply or message me here, on any other social media, or email [email protected] or [email protected] !

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

Just backed BOW by @HatchlingDM ! I love Dragon Dowser and that world, amd can't wait to see it expanded in this game (and more Dragon Dowser in the future)!

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

@jpmccarthyjr @thebadspotcast Ooh you're in for a treat! And yes, especially when considering recording solo games for an audience, rolling on oracles is exciting but if it distracts or blocks a better story moment that's right there, sometimes just go with your gut / follow the narrative!

[RenePlaysGames @RenePlaysGames]

Perspective Checks week! I had a great talk with @thebadspotcast about playing solo games with an audience in mind. We obviously talk Ironsworn, but also Matt's recent game of The Between, and how some games just 'click,' changing how you run games solo and with groups.
