Check it out - the other interviews are interesting as well.

Got some good, constructive feedback that I need to think on. Definitely need to make some tweaks. But overall, the game seems to have legs.20 Oct 2026 01:35 +0000at://did:plc:kwriakelexgd3k2nhdevpqm7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mybimji4ss2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalhobbit.bsky.social/post/3mybgcindec2aJust got home after an amazing 5 days at Gamehole Con.

My fourth time there (and it would be my fifth if I hadn't missed one year due to Covid). Always great fun.

That way, you get notified when a new project or post is published that matches your interests. There are a bunch of other improvements, too: https://rpglab.io/p/digitalhobbit/posts/recent-improvements-following-systems-and-tags-weekly06 Oct 2026 19:03 +0000at://did:plc:kwriakelexgd3k2nhdevpqm7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxa4nje2k22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalhobbit.bsky.social/post/3mx5jy75wnc2nMaking good progress on my rules-light, universal RPG system. I wrote two posts detailing how traits, tags, talents, and troubles work.

It's still early, of course. But I love where things are going. Perfect time to join and help shape this new community. rpglab.io https://rpglab.io/03 Oct 2026 21:39 +0000at://did:plc:kwriakelexgd3k2nhdevpqm7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwyty2cwc22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalhobbit.bsky.social/post/3mwu5tzr4cc24Here's my latest passion project: RPG Lab (rpglab.io). Meant as a place where TTRPGs and supplements are made in public. Designers post their early projects, and players can follow along and shape the final product through playtests. Also a place for RPG design discussions. https://rpglab.io02 Oct 2026 00:52 +0000at://did:plc:kwriakelexgd3k2nhdevpqm7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwu5tzr4cc24https://bsky.app/profile/digitalhobbit.bsky.social/post/3mvqp6wjdic2iLooking forward to attending Gamehole Con next month!
