Evil Hat Productions and the Pocket Dragon Pub present Rocket Club Saturday, April 25 2026 ay 9:00 pm EST featuring @VixieBelle, @MadamAvaCouture, @GraphicalRonin, @Carlos.Writes.Games, @ItsLouisW, and @DannyRMendoza

We'll be play-testing @evilhat.bsky.social 's new #ttrpg Rocket Club this Saturday @thepocketdragonpub.bsky.social

Pull up a chair and a cozy drink for a wholesome adventure!

The only VTT we develop for directly is Roll20. We have the in-house skillset to handle that. Anything else you see is (with few exceptions) a licensing agreement where the platform or a fluent developer did the implementation. So if you have a favorite platform, lobby them to get MotW support.

New Visions University 49 is out now!

While the Omens say goodbye to their friends in Silverbrooke, Cyrille makes a shocking discovery about Ion.

It was a delight to be interviewed for this issue, which is chock full of interesting articles and features. Wyrd Science continues to set a high bar for indie journalism in games.

The Fate fractal. How far the spiral goes is up to you and your group.

Blades 68 - Skim Read - The Giant Brain Blades 68 is the latest game from Tim Denee. It brings Doskvol screaming into the light of the swinging 60s wtih bold changes and additions.

"...takes the core of Blades and provides additional structures to not only make Blades 68 a pulpier version of the original Blades in the Dark but to give GMs a better chance of getting their game off the ground."
