#RPGenesis
If you would put together a kind of 2026 calendar for #ttrpg designers, what moments of the year stand out to you? #ZineMonth? #rpgenesis? The ongoing kickstarter for #ApocalypseWorld?
By the way, if you never tried your hand at #ttrpg design but can engage with a simple creative writing exercise, #rpgenesis has successfully helped many roleplayers bring a potential game to life💡You can join us in August 2026 for the latest edition: itch.io/jam/rpgenesi... 👈
Update video for the YouTube channel. We plan on staying here on BSky and Zak is looking in to alternatives :(

Here there's maybe a bit of thinking in reverse. If recovering from a resource is pretty cool, players will be more motivated to spend it in the first place (instead of hoarding it).

For the 12 days of christmas, I'm highlighting just a few projects that have become a part of #rpgenesis history since 2010. This community event started in Portugal, was very well received in Brazil and is now international.

Hello new followers 💜 You can pin me down as a #ttrpg designer, organiser and "content creator" from Portugal 🇵🇹 I love tabletop games in general and TTRPGs in particular (LARPing included). Follow me for RPG hot takes, #dndisnotforme #rpgenesis stuff and whatever memes I can think of.
👆day 3 of 12 🐙 one game from the history of #rpgenesis for each of the 12 days of christmas. Some will be in Portuguese and others in English as the event also became international.

Early on, we already had games exploring alternatives to dice like coins, cards or even no randomness.

Love to see more child-like #ttrpg design. What's a combat? What's an adventure? What's all this stuff that immediately gets put into games by default? Why?
#dndisnotforme #rpgenesis #indiegames
How does this affect our drive to make games? Knowing that a majority of our hobby doesn't want to learn any #ttrpg and will just play the most popular thing somebody can run for them. This pressure to be co-opted can perhaps explain a lot of "system agnostic" publications.
#rpgenesis #indiegames
To celebrate the new year, I'm going to post 12 Games of #RPGenesis, a broad selection of participations found across many years of online history. These highlights should give you some idea of what's possible in this #ttrpg design event (spoiler: anything is possible).
I'll start on the 25th.
