Completely aside from whatever ongoing campaign games I may be in, I usually run one-shots of my game It Came From Somewhere Else for big holidays, open to anyone who’s interested. Halloween, obviously, Xmas/NYE, Valentine’s Day, my b-day, etc.
Do any of the rest of you do something similar?
While I have nothing against minis-and-maps games, I’ve almost always played theatre-of-the-mind style. Largely because minis are expensive & I couldn’t afford them growing up.
Which style of roleplaying do you prefer?
It wouldn’t be the holidays without a little bit of drama and while our website was down temporarily, we’re back up and running now. Check out our latest blog post!
Happy New Year!
Happy Solstice & Sol Invictus!
In honor of the Longest Night, we've released a new RPG all about surviving the darkness. Check out The Things That Go Bump to see how long you can stand being in the dark...

Well, I have to admit that Dapper Bear didn’t post much on Twitter, but we’re moving permanently to here. The writing is on the wall over there and things are not going to get worse.
Also, we’re going to release a new game by the end of the year! Hope you like tense horror!
Happy Holidays!
Good day, gentlefolk and chaotic gremlins alike! We will likely be more active over here, even if Twitter survives. Feel free to ask us about anything, related to our products or not, and we’ll answer!
Robbie A, The Game Boy@dapperbear I personally prefer Itch.io, but I've mostly used it for video games. It does apparently generate sales, but all my stuff there is free, so I don't know from that front.
My upcoming release is going to be on *both* Itch and DTRPG because the more options you provide, the more people can potentially discover/buy it! Also, DTRPG offers print-on-demand, which is just generally cool.
tl;dr: why not both?
Adventurers using chronic medical conditions to their advantage.
Wizard with chronic nosebleeds starts using blood magic. “Well, I have it *right here*.”
Fighter with a missing hand. “Strap a sword to my arm and I’m good.”
Blind rogue: “I can’t see them, they can’t see me!” “Uh, that’s not how it w-“ “I CAN’T SEE THEM, THEY CAN’T SEE ME.”
So what do y’all think of DriveThruRPG versus itch.io as game distributors? I’ve had middling success (as a small game developer) on DTRPG, but recently created an account on itch, which seems more active, but heavily geared towards free games. Which do y’all prefer to get your games from?
