If you've ever wanted to make your own (semi-)cooperative TTRPG, consider delving into the Chain×Link system and see if anything inside inspires you!
Great insights for tabletop rpg creators too. When the space you love to create in is not awash in cash, you need careful planning and a lot of hard work to make it a liveable career. Most overnight successes I’ve heard of required 20 years of steady work to manifest.
Cover for the Solo journaling game TTRPG: Fetch My Blade.

In the background is a scratchy silhouette of a dog carrying a sword in its mouth

2025 was an interesting year, probably the best year I've ever had both professionally and personally.
I've done a lot of art direction the past few years, but this year I finally felt all the gears lock into place and I really found my stride.
Guess I don't have to wait long - Cheers to 2026 🥂

And here I thought the proper use of s or z in a word was determined by a random d20 roll.
Great to see!!
Just a day left to back Dungeons of Drakkenheim for Daggerheart. It's been a pleasure to watch one of the designers on the Daggerheart game (Mike Underwood) and the @dungeondudes.bsky.social bring an amazing setting and adventure site to this new game! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dun...
The power of Ghostfire Gaming + Dungeon Dudes + Darrington Press + Demiplane Team?
Match made in Drakkenheim, tbh. 💜

The covers of the CORE20 playtest PDFs, with art with Xavier Beaudlet. The “Playtest Player’s Guide” features an adventurer and their white tiger companion looking out at a haunted tower. The “Playtest Magic Grimoire” features an adventurer stepping into a glowing portal in a dark forest. The “Playtest GM Guidelines” features a shadowy archway opening up into a jungle ruin. And the “Playtest Creature Package” features a red dragon awaiting an adventurer standing in the entrance to their cavern lair.
The #CORE20RPG is a new approach to d20 fantasy, built on a foundation of freeform characters with no classes and no levels. It turns the aging “pass/fail” core d20 mechanic into fuel for shared storytelling — and you can play for free right now!
