Hi Everybody! I'm Sam, I publish games under "SamChuppMedia" and I typically do systemless sourcebooks that you can technically plug into any system. I do enjoy game design and I am working on a procedurally generated kid-at-heart LARP boardgame in my spare time :)

Hello! I am Jerry Sköld (he/him), co-creator of Legends of the Wulin. Currently working on an unnanounced project as well as floundering through various smaller ideas for games and fiction. Trying to cram as much tabletop gaming as possible into a fairly busy adult life while taking care of a kid, etc etc. You know the drill. Tastes hard to nail down, but always hot for cool new design (current loves include Blades in the Dark and various PbtA or -adjacent games).

Hi everybody! I'm Lucian Kahn (@oh_theogony on twitter) (he/him), a gay trans Jewish weirdo and game designer. I designed Dead Friend: A Game of Necromancy and am nearly done with Visigoths vs. Mall Goths.

Hi, I'm Cole (he/him) and I'm something of a long-time lurker in RPGs generally. I love reading games and thinking about the theory behind good design (which I've been doing for about four years now), and I've just begun GMing my first ongoing game (Blades in the Dark) in the past month. Hoping to see this community grow and maybe find inspiration to design something of my own in the future!

Hi all!

I'm Randy Lubin (@randylubin on Twitter) (he/him). I design lightweight tabletop RPGs and LARPs that mostly fall under the American Freeform category.

I'm most proud of:

  • Honor Bound - co-designed with Jason Morningstar, about toxic masculinity and honor culture through the lens of an old fashioned duel
  • Behind the Magic - a fantasy mocukmentary game about incompetent adventurers who are trying to save the world but probably going to fail

You can find my published games here on Itch and additional, playable drafts through my studio Diegetic Games.

I'm also designing serious games to help organizations explore the future and explain the present. More on that at my consulting firm Leveraged Play.

Looking forward to chatting with you all on the forum!

-Randy

I should do this, huhn?

I'm Allie Bustion, sometimes called Mads. @madpierrot on Twitter. My Patreon's over here and I do a fair few posts that are either early access or not gated. I do a lot of things, as my bio says. I don't exactly do one thing when I design games but I do pull a lot from PbtA and FitD for mechanics and popular culture for themes.

My current big things are Misbehavin', a FitD Prohibition era urban fantasy hack that delves into marginalization and (hopefully) let's you feel empowered to make some change, and Parliament of Supplements, a Kickstarted collection of hacks and supplements for various systems that I just never get enough time to work on. I'm pretty proud of the small games I've made that are available on itch.

Hey folks! I'm Kit, aka MxKit or mx_kit basically everywhere on the internet lol, and I have been so into TTRPGs for so many years now, and only recently have had a "wait, I could make my own? I could take systems I love and hack them into my own games? :o" revelation!

My tabletop experience started ages ago (okay, like 17 years ago, back when I was in high school), playing with a friend of the family using systems I'm not even actually sure about they were homebrewed so much. I know we used The Blood of Heroes at least once, though. Then a year or two later a few friends roped me into playing a single session of D&D 3.5, and the rest is history.

I was hooked, and I've been collecting and reading and playing as many TTRPGs as I possibly could for the past decade and a half. Over the years I've discovered and loved simpler and simpler and simpler systems, until in the past couple months I discovered micro rpgs and my mind was blown. While I have a ton of love still for D&D (especially 5e now), d20 games, Call of Cthulhu, and White Wolf stuff, I have utterly fallen for the PbtA engine, Belonging Outside Belonging style games, and hacks of microrgps like Honey Heist and Lasers & Feelings.

My style of games are usually light, both system light/easy to make characters and pick up and just run with, and lighter with less of an emphasis on physical combat. I'm bi and nonbinary trans (they/them pronouns) so queer themes definitely tend to crop up in all my stuff, including embracing non-human and monster identities as a sort of metaphor. I also have a Thing for Soft Lovecraft/Cosmic Fantasy, basically taking all the themes and creatures in his work that he went "eeevil and scary!" about and going "what if they aren't bad?" in my own stuff; I'm working on a couple of games that lean heavily on this.

I honestly don't do much there, but you can find me on Twitter as @mx_kit all the same. c:

Hi, I'm Vincent (he/him). My design partner Meguey and I have been publishing our own tabletop games since 2001 or so, as lumpley games and Night Sky Games. We have a hit in our catalog, but most of our games are small and experimental. I'm happy to be here.

Thank you for your games. Psi*Run and Otherkind rule my world at the moment.

Hey, I'm Blake (he/him) and go by Iverum pretty much everywhere online. I've been playing tabletop games for around 15 years, but I've only ever really hacked at things to play games with friends. I've been wanting to make a push to get into designing more seriously and I'm looking forward to participating in some jams.

I'm Nate, @natetreme on twitter and instagram. I'm based in Louisiana. I make zines, dungeons, music and games including In the Light Of A Ghost Star. I like rules lite games and small print formats, usually with a so called "old school" bent.

Hey, I'm Kirt (he/him), aka @xiombarg on Twitter. I cut my teeth on 1st edition AD&D but I've always been more of a science fiction nerd, so I moved into Star Frontiers and then sideways into the World of Darkness and then really sideways into indie RPGs during the days of the Forge. I wrote Unsung and some much smaller, now forgotten games during that time period, some OSR stuff more recently (mostly because a friend of mine is into it), and gotten back into writing indie games with the recent game jams, which is good, since my writing wasn't really reflecting my play preferences which lean more in the PbtA direction.

Also, I guess I like writing run-on sentences for introductions?

Hi, I'm Kirk (he as in boi, not he as in man). I once shared a name with a tropical storm, but then it got downgraded to a tropical depression.

Which seemed somehow appropriate to me.

Ohai! I'm Mike (he/him), been hacking on stuff for a long time, only been active outside my own basement for a year or two. Having a lot of fun with procgen content, minigames, and playing OSR-adjacent adventure games that makes violence an anti-optimal strategy.

Eric Simon (he/him). Most known so far for creating Steamscapes, a post-colonial alt-history steampunk setting for Savage Worlds, and Rockalypse, the Fate-powered game of post-apocalyptic musical conflict.

I'm mostly here to explore side projects and push my design envelope a bit. I'm excited to dive into some jams.

Welcome Eric! Glad to see ya here.

Hey friends! I'm Bronwyn Friesen and inasmuch as I have a game design label I'm calling it La Petite Mort (@lapetitemort). I'm a queer disabled trans woman/enby settler living on stolen land on Turtle Island in the colonial state of Canada. 

My first publicly available game design is Hot Alien Sex (available on DTRPG, probably here soon too though), a game about, well, what it says on the tin, but with a hard emphasis on consent, curiosity, and teaching relational respect. It's also sorta my manifesto on queer/trans/disabled sex. 

I'm also currently working on a LARP tentatively named either "Fucking Steve" or " :eggplant: :eyeroll: ", still figuring that out, about the experiences of queer feminized people when touch- and intimacy-starved in a less-than-idea dating pool hooking up with virtue signalling cishet dudes who just won't stop saying shitty problematic things, more and more over time. 

I've also written games for specific audiences, like "First Look," a game about the first moment of intense connection, "Baby Blues", a love letter to a friend who was having troubles reconciling their nonbinary identity and dysphoria with the desire to be pregnant, and "The Crash", a LARP about the moments between life and death and forming connection with the strangers you see every day. 

I've done a fair amount of design consultation in the past, some developmental editing and copy editing, and supportive emotional work. I'm excited to be a part of the community here.

Bronwyn! Hooray!

"I'm a queer disabled trans woman/enby settler living on stolen land on Turtle Island in the colonial state of Canada."

can steal a bunch of this and rewrite it for my bio because it's not the same but I love the way you framed it. 

I'm a queer disabled amab/enby settler living on stolen land in <trying to figure out how to describe my area best>


Also eggplant eyeroll ro whatever you end up calling it sounds very interesting.

yeah sure! Use it how you like 😊

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm Finlam, it's nice to meet you all. I am a successful small business owner who has been involved in tabletop hobbies for several decades.

I've recently released my first product on DMsGuild which made it into the top 70 hottest products within days of release. I am currently working on a new tabletop system and several 5e supplements. 

I believe that a rising tide lifts all ships and we have a great opportunity in the ttrpg community to work together and improve each other. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey as a content creator and artist with you all.

Hello and greetings. I'm Meinberg (they/them pronouns), queer agender, disabled, white anglo. I mostly do weird stuff that makes a lot of sense mostly to me under the Goat Song Brand. You can my storefront here on itch and you can my blogging over on wordpress, and I'm sure if you're interested in finding my twitter, you can dig around a bit from those.

I've been playing rpgs for about thirty years now and I am getting very old, but I try not to be set in my ways. I love weird, experimental stuff, I love pushing the boundaries of play. I'm also a big fan of serious games, as I feel that collaborative storytelling is a medium that has a lot of potential to do good in helping folks to figure out the world and themselves in ways that other media are not nearly as effective at.

Hi! I'm Chris. I write a blog over at badwrong.fun, most known for my Thursdays in Thracia series about old school D&D. I also wrote an OSR-adjacent sci fi game called Offworlders that people seem to be enjoying.

I'm excited to see what this space becomes!
