Here's the big dicebreaker interview with the designers & publishers whose names you know well.

Where do we go next?

I'm advocating for tumblr, and I'm in the PlusOneExp discord (just ask me if you need a link to what I'm finding to be a very welcoming island in the storm).

For now, that will suffice for me. I've tidied up my social links, I've sorted out my instagram and started making good use of the Stories feature, and I've long since given up on twitter. But I'm in a position that I'm yet to release my first project, so I've started at the bottom of the mountain and I won't be hit hard by the loss. I really feel for those who have lost years of hard work & struggle. It must feel like shit.

I appreciate this quote at the end of the article from Jess Levine:

“Every platform wants their walled garden, and the VC money that funded the existence of social media platforms that acted like a public is drying up as they realise maintaining what amounts to public infrastructure isn’t profitable,” Levine said.

“We're basically just speedrunning the neoliberal enclosure of anything resembling a public commons, this time with digital spaces rather than physical ones. As a creator and a generalist that markets their work online—and in some ways, even just as a person—that’s terrifying.”

I have no idea how well video does on Tumblr, especially stuff I’d put on TikTok or Insta Reels... But here’s me facing off against the Eurogamer video team (and Wheels from Dicebreaker) live on stage at EGX, and winning.

Hey! I wanted to share some creators that I like watching in light of wotc's reprehensible behavior with regards to the OGL, they all follow the theme of showing of cool RPGs

Firstly, Dicebreaker on YouTube, I really like their list videos where they give nice condensed descriptions of various RPGs, really helps you understand the general vibe of those RPGs. They also have much more in-depth content and analysis, and their own website which publishes articles of all things rpg related, really nice to read through for RPG news.

Second, Dave Thaumavore RPG Reviews on YouTube. He gives very in depth analysis of how games play, pros and cons of the system, really gets into the nitty gritty of mechanics. Longer form reviews usually half an hour, a relaxing listen personally. He's created his own smaller rpg, so I trust his opinions on mechanics.

Finally, goblinmixtape on TikTok. They are also a creator of rpgs, and you can really tell they love the hobby and all things indie, a lot of passion and joy in their speech. Short form content, love when they're on my feed. Focuses on more niche rpgs I would never have other wise have heard off, even more so that the other 2.

Hope y'all check these guys out, maybe check out a a new RPG!

Here are links to all the channels:

Let's look at this list from Dicebreaker

Bad Start with the Dragon Games, to the dungeon with you

Then Pendragon 6E, not my type of fantasy, a pass

Daggerheart : The cards with the character sheets may be interesting, waiting to know more

Stormlight Archive RPG :I should read the books first. a D20 system ? hope they are doing something more. If I remember correctly, the magic system is based on promises and bonds, that is interesting and I will wait to see more

Wilderfeast : Okay so I was part of the wrowdfunding. I like cooking monsters... and there was an apron! I can't say no to an apron! Also the Monster Hunter thing.

Break : Also funded. I wanna be a murder princess

Triangle Agency : Another game funded. Do I have good taste ? A mix of Control, X files and SCP. Honestly I listened to the AP on Party of One @partyofonepod and immediately went to the KS page. A little love for the D4

Through The Hedgerow : Did I miss this ? Usually, the words Neil Gaiman in the description are enough to get my money. Well i'll wit for the release and see then. The illustrations looks great

Eat the reich : Already played actually, but not against another go it was so fun. (maybe with the speedrun system added to it). I love exploding fash.

Shadow Scar : First time hearing about this. Yokais ? tell me more. The guy from Witcher Rpg ? meh.... didn't enjoyed this game and its system.

The Hidden Isle : Have you seen the artwork !? Tarot ? Of course i helped fund this.

Jukebox : The karaoke Musical ?!?

Stonetop : Building a fantasy village ? hmmmm.... Pbta you say ?... let's see for chill sessions.

Shadow of the Weird Wizard : Like D&D with a d20 system ? meh.

I think your RPG takes are really good :) I enjoy D&D 5e to some extent (like, it's fine), but I feel D&D's market dominance isn't great. But what gets me the most is how incurious many people who play D&D 5e to the exclusion of other games are. No interest in seeing anything that deviates from how D&D does things.

Yeah! This is a point I've tried to make clear too, like... ultimately if someone WANTS to stick to 5e that's not my problem. If they want to use heavily homebrewed 5e for a Doctor Who or Cyberpunk or Homestuck campaign or whatever and their table has fun with it like. Okay, I personally wouldn't do that but I also have no right to tell anyone to NOT do that.

But the moment they get so entrenched in that idea of "You can use 5e to do ANYTHING" that they start acting like someone else wanting to use anything other than heavily homebrewed 5e for anything is some ridiculous or preposterous idea that's when I have a problem with them. Especially when the people who think like that are a statistically significant enough portion of the tabletop public to affect business decisions in the hobby.

Like. One of the saddest cases I've seen in recent memory, the upcoming Adventure Time ttrpg from Cryptozoic was initially pitched as having its own system, only to later end up being switched to 5e. And considering that the initial Dicebreaker article that came out months before this announcement featured quotes from one of the developers about why they decided to use their own system and why they thought D&D wouldn't work well with the narrative flow they wanted for the game, and also that the reason given for the switch to 5e was "feedback from fans", it's clear that this is not a decision they made because they WANTED to make a 5e hack, but because they NEEDED to make it a 5e hack in order for it to be profitable because there's just such a huge portion of the tabletop public that got pulled into the hobby with 5e and is so fundamentally incurious that they won't touch a book with a 10-foot pole unless it some form of "5e compatible" logo on the cover.

I've said it on Twitter but no one follows me there so I'll scream in the void here as well ✨

If you are a Dimension 20 Burrow's End TM enjoyer and particularly if you love Jasper's performance as Thorn (and honestly, who wouldn't), do me a favour and go listen to Three Black Halflings, the ttrpg podcast hosted by Jasper along with Jeremy Cobb and Olivia Kennedy (but you can call her Liv!). Just trust me on this one, I need more people to get into 3BH immediately, they are amazing!

Their episodes are very varied, with one of the main focus being diversity in d&d/ttrpgs on all fronts. They are some of the most fun, insightful and creative people in this space! They have important, deep conversations with many incredibly talented folks, with an attention to inclusion of a diverse array of creators from minorities and marginalized backgrounds. They have multiple awesome campaigns that will make you cry and laugh at once (and you'll get more of Jasper's incredible roleplay, along with so many talented guests (Emily included, she's a guest for a few episodes on Outlaw and Obelisks, their post-apocalyptic western inspired campaign)). They try out different systems and new ttrpgs, but also discuss d&d with class dives and news episodes.

They have interviews with many people: to mention a few from d20 we're talking Bennan, Lou, Murph, Emily, Zac, Ify, Carlos, Gabe, Erika, Persephone, B.Dave, Krystina, Amy, Matt and Aabria at various times, but also people from the rest of Naddpod, Transplanar RPG, Oxventure, Dicebreaker and other cool spaces!

Not strictly related, but Jasper was also the first (and only, I think?) guest DM on Naddpod, I think his Potcedonia two-shot is some of the most fun content out there!

I need to see more of them in this space, as well as more fanart of their campaigns, so I need everyone to listen to their podcast. Here's a link to their Spotify! https://spotify.link/gXVjcTIm2Db

Look what arrived from Dicebreaker! Genuinely so honored and thankful for the recognition of "Rising Star Designer." It's been really tough to refer to myself as a game designer, but I'm finally feeling less like a pretender every day!
