Went to our local game store’s last playtest event. It’s closing tomorrow and we’re gonna miss it so much!
Reminder to get out to your FLGS, support them, play games at them, buy games at them! They’re awesome spaces that deserve every chance to thrive.
#indiettrpg #flgs #ttrpg #playtesting
Us, after our first release and market: We should take it easy and have a break for a week to recharge.
Us afterwards: Let’s sign up for new events and make our next starter adventure lets goooooo
We didn’t get a chance to walk around the other booths much but it must be said—getting a game complete and printed, and putting it in front of others to sell? Like that alone is such a huge achievement. I think all the designers there have a lot to feel proud of tonight. ❤️❤️
@gamemarketwest.bsky.social today was a total blast, thanks so much to Johnny, Velgus and all the volunteers who helped out! We talked to so many awesome people and talented designers. It’s such a special event, and we are so excited that its where HeartBeasts got to make its little debut

You can choose from four adorable beasts in Road to Regionals. Fire-type Pugma 🐶 Volt-type Statikitten 🐱 Wood-type Bouquail 🐦 or the Water-type Swabunny? 🐰 Which are you picking? #indiettrpg #fakemon #cutecritters #tabletopgames #ttrpg
It’s Reptusk! 🦣 This hardy Earth-type beast fiercely protects nests of the tinier Reptooth. It can be difficult for Trainers to manage, but can be unexpectedly sweet and loyal to humans it trusts. #indiettrpg #ttrpg #fakemon #creaturedesign #tabletopgames

It’s Ursinerate! 🐻 🔥 This unusual Fire-type beast makes its home high on tree-tops. It sometimes causes brief fires, but these are actually vital to the local ecology—it burns away extra debris in ‘controlled burns’, preventing more dangerous wildfires. #indiettrpg #fakemon #bear #ttrpg #indiegame

We love our shiny math rocks, and want to use them! So HeartBeasts uses the whole classic set from d4 to d20! 💎 🎲 The d20 in particular is reserved for special, heart-stopping moments where everything is on the line. #indiettrpg #dicegoblin #d20 #steppeddice #dice #ttrpg
It’s Sniparella! 🦀 This timid Water-type beast keeps the beaches meticulously clean, although is often bullied by the local Stealgull in the process. It needs a gentle Trainer who can protect and encourage it. #indiettrpg #ttrpg #crab #fakemon #cutegames

It’s Cerberemus! 🐺 This powerful Dark-type beast evolves from the unassuming-seeming Twilamb—a sweet little lamb with a nasty little bite. Proud and loyal but stubborn to a fault, Cerberemus often butt heads with wild Ramulus. 🐐 🐺 #indiettrpg #fakemon
