Nostos is a super cool TTRPG & ought to be funded by now! If you like the weird fiction moon-hopping of Realis, Nostos is like a classical lit island-hopping cousin. Check out the blurb I wrote based on the game's ARC, and pledge the campaign while you still can! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hon...

EP2 of our Realis One Shot is live! Join @superdillin.bsky.social, @austinwalker.bsky.social, @vidityavoleti.bsky.social, & @moreblueberries.bsky.social as they encounter The Immaculate Flotilla—a religious order of pirates who do, in fact, believe the floor is lava (drawn here by @chriskindred.com)
We played Realis and I played a big strong moondust lady who is quick to murder AND believes in the power of wishes so I would pretty much go listen to that right now.
This episode did convince me to back the campaign and get excited to someday run the game myself.
The clincher was "this game does for grammar what traditional RPG systems did for maths".
I respect it but also love Possession with all my heart. I’d gladly rewatch it with you any time.

I finally sat down and listened to this, and of course it’s great. Everyone involved is wonderful and even when they don’t know EXACTLY what they’re doing, they do a fantastic job at opening up the conversation.
I’m so freaking excited for more of this and more Realis.
Thanks @jpcoovert.bsky.social for the kind words and for the succinct summary of what makes @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis such an intriguing project! Check out the video to learn more about Realis as well as some other rad TTRPG campaigns currently crowdfunding: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuWY...
They deliver too! Management is an important skill, but KS expectations can feel like an entry-level job only accepting candidates with x years experience. Entry-level is where you build & learn from those years in the 1st place! How long someone refuses to learn from mistakes is a different story.

oh no
oh hell yeah
Nostos is almost halfway funded!! Thanks so much to all the backers who have pledged to bring this project to life, and if you haven't already, please check out the kickstarter and see if this game is for you!
I strongly believe in the value & utility of indie crowdfunding, and have put my money where my mouth is by backing 695 campaigns since 2011. 97.5% of them have fulfilled with only 18 MIA. Creators WANT to do the work, and if statistics are any indication, they deserve your benefit of the doubt too.
Was thrilled to have @austinwalker.bsky.social and @possibleworlds.bsky.social on to talk about bringing Realis over the finish line, the complicated work of teaching others to GM, and how those 55 classes are all bridges into, and out towards, countless Moons.
Thanks so much to @chasecarter.bsky.social & @newmadras.bsky.social for having us on the Rascal Radio Hour to talk indepth about Realis! Listen in for insights on mechanical choices, design, publishing, & crowdfunding philosophies, and @austinwalker.bsky.social & my hopes for the future of the game.
Thanks to @rascal.news for bringing me and @possibleworlds.bsky.social to the podcast to talk about Realis, bringing a game from conception through production, and simply making stuff for the sicko in your heart.
Do you have any idea how many moons I'm going to make once the Realis book is in my little mitts

TONIGHT! @cgdannyb.bsky.social and I play Tacklebox by J Walton & @possibleworlds.bsky.social that starts with fishing and ends with a coverup.
Drift Fishing starts at 5:30pm Pacific on the @crithitchronicles.com Twitch channel! #ttrpg

Austin and the team have done incredible work with Realis. It's an RPG that takes narrative and character development as its core and shapes everything else around that. Its weird beautiful dark science fantasy world has some incredible heavy-hitter artists on board too. Please check it out.
Also coming soon: the Glorious Dreams of Eight Cursed Swords Folio! We're so glad Sam was able to contribute a few to this collection, they are bangers. (And, yes, check out Realis!)

100%! We already have pretty wide in-store distribution for our titles (mostly through IPR) and we're working to make sure the game has wider international distribution too. It'll also be available via our webstore after we've fulfilled all backer commitments.
Austin Walker is one of the coolest people in games and I felt so joyful getting to listen to this interview, where he dug into one of my games and put it in dialogue with one of his own. ✨
Itchy, tasty
Sam & @austinwalker.bsky.social's conversation about moves in Dream Askew / Dream Apart and their influence on the Sentence mechanics in Realis is excellent! Give the show a listen and/or read the episode's transcript at diceexploder.com/posts/transc...
