Do you collect #TTRPG books to play, to study for ideas, or simply to enjoy for the stories and #art?

Which long-owned #TTRPG book whispers to you in the gloomy recesses of your mind, “You still haven’t run me yet”?
Will I ever actually get the chance to run or play in these #TTRPG? Probably not... But I still love looking through them and they bring me quite a bit of joy.
Spines on a shelf, worlds of wonder in waiting—how many #TTRPG await their turn at the table in your collection right now?
New year! Fresh #dice. Unwritten stories. What game do you hope to bring to your #TTRPG table first in 2026?
Submissions are open till Jan 15th! We’re still looking for short zines and comics from trans/queer artists!

New year, fresh aspirations! Also I really want to design a game based on this post card now... What do you think the premise of this #TTRPG would be?
The shelves grow heavy, and still new the call of new #TTRPG calls. What new game are you most eager to discover in 2026?

The curtain rises on 2026! A very Happy New year to all! Old friends await and new stores wait to be told! 🥂 🎉 🎲
As 2025 begins to fade into our collective memory, name the #ttrpg that ruled your table in 2025. Let's crown the best game properly. 🎲👑 While there were a lot of great games, I think Eat the Reich takes 1st for me, as genuinely fun & that brought a lot of joy to play.
From the catacombs onward, danger stalks every twist and turn. Begin the mission with Episode 1 of Operation Nocturne—Eat the Reich in action!

2026 promises new and unfamiliar #TTRPG, and untested worlds. What’s first on your 2026 docket?
These are some of the best designed #TTRPG covers I've seen in a really long time, and overall just really lovely art. But, @Wizards and @dndbeyond.com should release their alt covers as posters or downloadable wallpapers.
The space between wanting to play a #TTRPG and actually doing it is a small distance, but it can feel like an insurmountable gap.
If you’re planning a cozy, spooky #gamenight and love improv-heavy play, Under the Autumn Strangely might be a the right fit.

Happy Christmas everyone! Now tell me, what #TTRPG did you get this year? I must know!
Ooh yes! I also really want to try Pulp Cthulhu
The mission: Kill Hitler. The team: Vampire commandos. The setting: Paris, 1943. Episode 1 of Operation Nocturne starts you on the mission, go check it out and join the fun.

If the holiday spirits were generous and kind this year, what #TTRPG would you want to find waiting beneath a tree or tucked in your stocking?
Next year promises lots of new games and rules and untested worlds. What’s first on your 2026 docket? #TTRPG #IndieTTRPG

This #TTRPG might not be built for long campaigns—but it might be perfect for a single strange evening of #sotrytelling you’ll remember long down the road. My thoughts on Under the Autumn Strangely:

What is your all-time favorite holiday #TTRPG one-shot? A story that still jingles in your memory with fond moments and moments of delight?
The chill of Winter and a new year begs for strange stories, what #TTRPG embraced the cold in ways you didn’t expect?
I find myself fascinated by #RPGs that ask you to step outside—not necessarily LARP, not quite the normal #TTRPG either. Something in between. #ExperimentalGames #PlayOutside
Did you miss Episode 1? Well drop into Paris at dusk and tear through Sector 3 as you launch into Episode 1 of Operation Nocturne, live now.

Wax-sealed letters. Burned maps. Handwritten grimoires. What physical prop are you most proud of making?
For this month’s bonus actual play @shenuque.bsky.social and @moreblueberries.bsky.social played Tacklebox by @possibleworlds.bsky.social
It’s a surreal fishing game and it gets WEIRD!
