i'm gwen and i'm an rpg writer / layout artist / graphic designer, sometimes all 3 at once. i like sharp lines, bold contrasts, and the space between organic and synthetic.
i'm open for work and love a challenge. full portfolio below 🖤
INFINITE REVOLUTION is my TTRPG love letter to magical girl media, wild scifi cosmology, and the BRILLIANT, UNSTOPPABLE BURN of the human spirit. i've poured my soul into this game these past two years and now it's finally LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! check it out!! [links below⤵️]
Instead of countless companies working to make your 5E game better, they are now asking you to become MCDM, or Darrington Press, or Paizo, or D&D 6E players.
We are entering an era of division, faction, and balkanization.
@TheNeedForMe
earnest question: don't they already? don't the things yr character believes, the ways they live, the things they hold dear—don't those all inform thr actions, even w/o attaché math? like th math is there to streamline fiction but u can just have th above inform fiction directly!
good morning! since i'm currently funemployed, this is an open call: i would LOVE to work on your RPG, web design, or graphic design project! if anyone has openings in those spaces, personal or otherwise, let me know! some example work below + full portfolio in reply <3
anyway: i dont care about d&d. i am not trying to defend it specifically and hate the market conditions it represents/perpetuates. this was a Night Tweet w a bunch of stupid inside baseball implicitly attached meant for like 30 ppl
happy
#FreeRPGDay
! I've never believed in celebrating by halves so I'm adding 50(!!!) free copies of INFINITE REVOLUTION: STARLIGHT to the project page, right now!
Outshine the stars! Outrace the light! Grab your exosuit, face your fears, and save the solar system!

as always i have an obligation to show off my game abt being extremely cool in space
a few words in there are longer than 3 letters but its around as easy to pick up as this one
holy shit lmao im glad everyone appreciates amateur reddit anthropology
anyway no graceful segue but if you'd like to check out and maybe buy my RPG labor of love (about spacefights and the brilliant light of the human soul) you can do that here <3
INFINITE REVOLUTION is the high-flying, heart-burning scifi TTRPG I've always wanted to make, and yesterday it funded in TWO HOURS. We're nearly at 300% now and to say I'm humbled is an understatement. Thank you all so, SO much 🌟❤️🔥✨
"why is the book not hardcover, i cant back it if it isnt hardcover :cc"
do you u know what a sub-100 page a4 hardcover looks like. are u really gonna bust out a fuckin DK Eyewitness book as reference material at the table. come on
seeing this and then learning like 95% of the fics r written by one charmingly deranged chilcille shipper was like getting tossed from the baltic sea into a hot tub
toxic trait: i rlly love scar/lasting injury tables. especially if they are only concerned w medical accuracy as it lends itself to being exciting or scary or beautiful
the trads fighting over market share is broadly irrelevant to the rpg scene i actually care about but the terrified handwringing abt the (projected, not even actual!!) breakup of a functional monopoly is extremely funny
@TheNeedForMe
what im getting at here is the person ur character is affects the world via their actions. the math is the elisionary shortcut for affecting the world but th goal is still to affect the world/drive fiction. knowing ur character well enough accomplishes this goal without the math!
INFINITE REVOLUTION IS OUT NOW!
FLY at nearlight speeds in bleeding-edge exosuits, with core turbines driven by your own FIERY SOUL
FIGHT in fast, deeply-customizable SPACE COMBAT
PIERCE the tide of energy-devouring paracausal aliens and TAKE BACK YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM

not experienced but here is what ive learned:
first: there is money. there is ABSOLUTELY money. shut the fuck up about how there is no money. arguments against this are from self-fulfilling sadsacks, grifters, or ppl content publishing into obscurity. fine, but not gospel.
->
Okay! Experienced TTRPG designers, give us your top three wisdoms!
Mine:
- Take a break, write something small, like a solo game or fangame.
- Participate in the community beyond making promo posts.
- Make your randomizer choice thoughtfully and deliberately.
INFINITE REVOLUTION's final, SECRET stretch goal is...
THE PEGASUS CORE. Built on experimental pre-Blackout V-Drive technology, the Pegasus Core is an esoteric interceptor pattern that warps speed and space to their breaking point before impaling its foes on the pieces.

open call, can ANYONE help me find this RPG setting i remember seeing on here a bit ago? i remember a single-page promo that was like a deep dive into a specific regional type of salt and its various cultural contexts and properties. bright warm layout. it fucked so hard. need it
wild that every other ttrpg thing coming out now seems to be either solo play or a giant collab content blender. i feel like i am really missing something lmao bc clearly those things have a lot of appeal and are very popular but i Do Not Get It
im th little freak who genuinely hopes the cthulutech 2e that explicitly promised "hey we fixed the math and also took out all the cringe shit from the first one" actually comes out and is good
A TURBINE IN YOUR HEART, FOREVER SPINNING.

i think the fun thing about having lots of different rhetorical lenses for examining games is that u can use them all!! any of them you want!!
th point is not "which lens is Correct", it's "which lens is interesting or useful for me". it isnt zero sum! i promise!!
it is so silly that spotify has two separate "help fill out your playlist" features and one of them is borderline useless and the other is nearly perfect and you have to just independently discover which is which
We're closing in!
INFINITE REVOLUTION is launching on Kickstarter in slightly less than a month(!) and is approaching 150 prelaunch followers(!!)
Here's a sneak peak of some layout updates I'm tinkering with—I want this game to look as sleek and brilliant as it plays✨
INFINITE REVOLUTION has fully funded and hit *every single stretch goal* within its first week on Kickstarter!! this is beyond ANY expectations i had for this game and i am so deeply, incredibly grateful <3
INFINITE REVOLUTION, my high-flying, entropy-defying, starlight-powered space knight dogfighting TTRPG, launches on Kickstarter in ONE WEEK! I'll be counting down the days with a new piece of Revolver art every day 'till launch <3
Links below! ✨
like obviously i would prefer it not happen at all lmao. but it's nice to know that the feckless echobox positivity and awful, exhausting, crybully approach ive seen people take to sincere criticism here isnt some uniquely bad fixture of *this* scene, u know
late pledges for INFINITE REVOLUTION are now up and running through backerkit pre-orders! if you missed the campaign, you can grab a book via the link below! ⤵️✨
INFINITE REVOLUTION is coming to Kickstarter and the prelaunch page is LIVE NOW! tell your friends! tell your foes! tell your morally-ambiguous rivals!! click to follow along and get ready for the OVERDRIVE EDITION

tried something very very stupid in my lancer game today and GM made me justify how i was actually going to do it and i think im starting to get why people like watching football now

high-speed acrobatics, desperate battles, cosmic stakes, and the brilliant burn of the human spirit— this is INFINITE REVOLUTION, the high-octane, magical-girl-inspired space dogfighter TTRPG I've been working on for over a year now! It's a labor of love and I hope you like it <3

stuff on the TL makes this feel relevant again: god i love this medium. i the writing and the people and the emotional core of it all. people will make bad shit and bad shit will make money but as long as a single person connects w anything ive ever made i will feel alive
"haha twitter faction hellscape lol passing the same $10 around lmao the forge was right/wrong/cringe—"
i dont fucking care dude. this shit is bone broth for my soul i will do it till i die
like no knock at the artists ik there's a Brand to uphold but i will take one mothership or black hack over a thousand eclipse phases or pathfinders, find a bit and commit to it
so the place i order tin fish from gives you a free tin if you can demonstrate you're an artist or a writer and look, i wanted to learn Affinity Designer anyway,
