Today's #Blaugust and #RPGaDay2026 talks about "hunger". I've actually given a smidgen of a thought on this before for my game world, but haven't really leaned into actually fleshing it out.

Game Pile: A Magician’s Familiar

A Magician’s Familiar is a trick-taking, narrative-heavy tabletop role-playing game about playing magicians in a wonderful world full of fascinating monsters with a a type system for combat and monsters that grow and change over time. It is a perfect toolkit for representing a game like the classic Pokemon or Digimon anime, where the character and their relationship to their critter, and the direction they can offer during combat, is how they overcome the challenges of the day.

Also, the entire system, tables and artwork included, fits on two pages and just under 1,500 words. It’s also free. You can check it out and play around with it, right now, and you should, here. It’s where I got all the pictures from, after all.

Today's #RPGaDay2026 and #Blaugust post is about endurance. Good topic to discuss from an indie game dev view.

Today's #Blaugust and #RPGaDay2026 word is Tact. Here's my brief discussion about what I do with that.

For today's #Blaugust and #RPGaDay2026 post, the word is 'secret'. I discuss the reason why I have secrets of my TTRPG that I'm building from the ground up.

Today's prompt of "burden" was a fun one to discuss

Day 3 of #Blaugust and #RPGaDay2026 consisted of the word Poise. Did my best at approaching it from a game dev lens since I'm building my own TTRPG from the ground up.

@robindlaws Fun with encumbrance rules? Coool! Something is in the air, mayhaps. Quinns and Thomas M were riffing for some minutes on a recent Yes Indie’d podcast this season: off of Mausritter and imagining future fun encumbrance rpg’s. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

Wrapped my first true-blue Blades campaign last night, after about 8 or 9 sessions. Enough time to get to get to Tier 1 and gain some serious territory, but I want to play more 🥺

Guten Morgen #Wien ! Ich mache gerade Kurzurlaub mit der Familie, aber ein.bisschen #Nerdzeugs geht auch. Irgendwelche Tipps für Läden und Veranstaltungen zu #OSR und #IndieTTRPG , #Indie28 #Tabletop (insbesondere #ForbiddenPsalm )?

Sound off: does anyone actually go through the effort of printing and cutting print-and-play games? Is it worth offering that format for my games?

Wnew! My first game session with a strong dash of live action role play in #yazebasbedandbreakfast . I assisted as concierge and we did the laundry washing chapter three. The wash loads were the clock-four quarters ticked a third clock on the dryer and a full dryer filled half a hamper. Successful coin tosses of all heads (w/ increasing amounts of coins) gave a tick on those tracks for the wash.

We continue with another chapter next month.
