So cool to see so many friends already here and more coming!

I'm Adam, he/him pronouns. I design and publish story games in Michigan, though planning a move to LA this summer to live with my partner in the sunlight. I'm also a touring musician in the band La Dispute, I kinda got started/inspired making music-related or adjacent games that turned into a much more broad thing but still have a lot of influence from 2000s emo and stoner metal music in the games I make now. 

For a while I was making postcard-sized microgames every month on my patreon, but I've fallen a bit off schedule lately thanks to ZineQuest on kickstarter and trying out some game jams on itch. I've also been reconciling lately with charging less-than-cost for those games and trying to find a solution that doesn't make me broke but keeps people happy. 

I'm a big fan of print and make nearly all my games available in physical form at worldchampgame.co, which is also a decent hub for new releases, character sheets, contact stuff, and social media likemy twitter @WCGameCo and more-active instagram @WorldChampGameCo

DC was recently on the RPG Design Friends podcast to discuss pricing, you might be interested to check it out!

haven't heard this particular conversation I'll have to dig in. while we've never talked, they were a big motivator in making me reconsider how things work and how I can shift my thinking on it!

"to live with my partner in the sunlight"

Choosing to expose yourself to natural light... wow, if that's not true love...

Morning! 

Ben Dutter, he/him, one half of Sigil Stone Publishing. Played D&D with my older brother around 24 years ago, played RPGs pretty consistently ever since. 

I’m a bit of a meandering designer; GMless story games, PbtA hacks, OSR stuff, big crunchy universals, card games, you name it. My wife and I just wrapped up the Vagabond’s Cyclopedia, waiting on proofs. Working on half a dozen things but our next “real” project is Five Torches Deep, a 5e + OSR mashup. 

I don’t really have a strong philosophy or theme as a designer, which I think shows in my weirdly broad scope of work. I guess I’m still looking for something that makes sense to me and for me, y’know? 

Happy to be here on itch!

I also tend to be very broad in the sense that I like creating a lot of different types of things, so whatever makes you happy tends to be the best choice! Glad to see you in the community!

Hello, you can call me magpie for short and I use They/Them Pronouns. I started playing ttrpgs in earnest recently (withing the past two years). I primarily played PbtA and Forged in the Dark games, (and will hopefully be design a few of my own). My design obsessions are focusing on rpgs as conversation and designing systems to tell thematically deep stories.

I put up my first game, A Long Night in the Mech Bay, for the #sadmechjam earlier this year.  I am currently trying to make a game about people solving  supernatural problems, similar to anime like Mushishi.

And you can find me on twitter @Magpie_Mirror.

Hello! I'm Nicklas (he/him, @nyvinter),  I mostly draw stuff because even small games takes time to write for me. But I'm getting there!


I love GMing games where I don't have to touch the dice as they will betray me not in the end but almost all of the time. As for being a player, I really don't have a preference except that I don't really like the D20. (Give me d12 mechanics!)

(+1)

Hey, Nicklas! Speaking of d12 mechanics, have you heard of BROKEN ROOMS? It's one the most interesting d12-based systems I've seen, you might like it. 

(1 edit) (+1)

It's on my list of games to get as I've been recommended it.

I almost went with a d12+d8 system for my not finished wizjam game but a normal card deck would be more thematic there.

Howdy, All!  I'm Brad E (he/him). I've been a gamer for oh, forty-plus years, mostly as a GM. Then I had a turn in the hobby industry as a minor partner in a game publishing company, and got to help edit and develop a number of games, one of which I'm very proud of, though it's long out of print at this juncture.  I want more diversity in the hobby as well, and currently greatly enjoy Blades in the Dark and Forged in the Dark games. Naturally, I'm at game design again, trying to create a truly equitable and non-racist variant of steampunk.

Brad Murray of the VSCA. I prefer "he" but won't balk at "they".

I've been playing role-playing games since around 1977 when I took over reffing from my friend's mother.

In 2009 we published Diaspora, which you may have heard of. In 2011 we published Hollowpoint which you might not have (even though it was nominated for Best Game ENnie in 2012!). Last year we published two new titles and this year I'm going to try to get out three. Currently I'm grooving on a distant cousin of both Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark for a house system that satisfies my own needs first. I've always figured, though, that I'm not unique.

I publish on Lulu and DTRPG but have brought several titles to itch to see what's what. Impressed so far!

I am @BradJMurray on Twitter and some Atholl (VSCA, he/him)#0864 on discord.

Hi all, I'm Bird (also known as Aidan), and I use they/them pronouns. I've been playing role-playing games since I was a kid, mostly with family and friends.

I prefer to create my own worlds, and have been working on a massive world-build project called Elivera since my youth. Most of my science fiction novels, short stories, and game narratives take place in this universe. I've created some resources for playing in this universe that utilizes Starfinder's approach to dice rolls, attributes, feats, etc (just adopting it to Elivera).  Though I'd love to develop my own system rather than relying on core rules of others. So far, I've been working with friends on a computer game for Elivera, but I'd love to have my tabletop resources refined and available too.

I've also created an alternate history that utilizes Pathfinder classes and combat systems, but it's set on Earth, where dwarves, elves, halflings, and so forth lived along with humans, and how that altered history. I mostly use these resources with homebrew games with friends and family, but have thought about sharing it with the wider public. I haven't published anything in the tabletop genre yet. I mostly just lurk and listen in the community.

Hi friends! I'm Jeff Stormer (He/His). I'm a podcaster, game designer, occasional pro wrestling referee and commentator, and the Unofficial Official LARPwright of the Olive Garden Restaurant.

I've been publishing smaller TTRPGs and LARPs on itch for awhile, before running a Kickstarter for Mission: Accomplished!, an RPG of super-spies an office meetings, last October.

I also host Party Of One, an actual play podcast focused on two-player roleplaying experiences--so if you've published a two-player RPG and you want to promote it on a podcast, let's chat.

Hi, nice to meet you all! I'm Adam. (he/him)

I design a bunch of different kinds of games, but roleplaying games are my thing. I tend to make weirder games - RPGs designed to be played round campfires, game poems, LARPS about post-apocalyptic business cargo cults. I have a few projects on my itch page (though really should get round to adding more). 

I also host the actual play podcast These Flimsy Rituals. And  I'm part of a collective called Furtive Shambles who put on events playing small physical games in places that suit them (the forest at night, the beach, on a walk etc)

Interested to see how this space grows. Hopefully it becomes a nice place to talk about and share design ideas & games.

Hi there, I'm Nora Blake! I'm a mostly-girl-shaped object who uses she/her and zi/zin pronouns.

I write tabletop games, including the only vampire ttrpg in existence! I also do as many podcasts as I can.

I'm on Twitter & Itch. Happy to be here!

Hey! I’m Dissonance. I’m ttrpg designer, GM, and player whose been hacking and designing as a way to understand my favorite games better. My experience with the vibrant indie-rpg scene inspired me to take up the task of getting my own games out there for others to enjoy.


My perspective: I’m a microbiologist, a relationship anarchist, a polyamorous person, a lover story and of systems. I like to help others grow and share what I’ve learnes with my fellow aspiring designers.


You can find me here and @MothLands on Twitter.

Hello! I'm Laura (she/her, they/them)(@Cheerio_Buffet). I'm a bi nonbinary woman, although it's never been officially proven that I'm not three cats in a trenchcoat. 

I started non-gaming role playing in middle school, made a number of DnD character sheets in high school (to be told "oh, girls would probably just be bored so you're not actually invited), and then started truly playing RPGs 4-5 years ago. 

I'm a player on Tabletop Squadron, a Star Wars Edge of the Empire AP podcast. I also run our Twitter (@tabletop_squad) and do most of the behind the scenes stuff and management outside of editing. 

I've also been SLOWLY working on a game based on reading tea leaves and creating social drama.

I'm Neal (he/him), and I've been playing RPGs since the 1984 D&D red box; I started making my own games in 1990, but first did so "professionally" (as in, made them publicly available and for sale) in 2012. I have an inordinate fondness for heavily narrative games, card-driven or diceless mechanics, mythology and symbolism, cats, coffee, and esoterica. Most of my work that's worth noting is here on Itch, over on DriveThruRPG, or on my site parenthesispress.com.

Hey y'all! I'm known as Disco on the internet (he/him)! I'm on twitter @HarmonicDisco but I mainly just retweet/signal boost cool stuff that I wanna help support.
I love people and games that help us use our imaginations. I'm pretty much just an enthusiastic supporter of all sorts of different games.
I'm super excited to see this space grow into something awesome!

Hi!  I'm  Mark (he/him).   I have a hopepunk space opera game out, powered by Fate, a 'zine to support it with ongoing adventures,  and am tinkering with what might become a card game about underrecognized ways that people have driven positive change. 

I like and have played in a variety of RPG, play a fair amount of tabletop board games but don't read broadly there, and dabble in video games.

Looking forward to learning about other peoples games and from each other!

Hi everyone! I'm Eli, he/him, gamer, game designer, cartographer, co-host of Jianghu Hustle, and owner of The Mythic Gazetteer. I've been playing RPGs for most of my life and designing them for the past few years. As a player, I tend to GM often and I love Blades in the Dark, The Quiet Year, Swords Without Master, D&D, Savage Worlds, and a bunch of other games. As a designer, I'm currently focused on a Forged in the Dark game of fairytale bargains and thrilling action set in my original fantasy setting, The Blackwood. I'm sure I'll post a bunch of little games here over time too.

I was recently made a mod there in the Tabletop Games forum, so I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. Don't hesitate to hit me up if you ever want to chat! You can also find me @ZapDynamic on Twitter and Eli Kurtz (He/Him)#9444 on Discord.
