Hey everyone! If you followed me after the shutdown of Hacked in the Dark, have I got good news for you! Fiction First Network is up and running, the successor to Hacked in the Dark, with all the same kinds of content. Check us out!

Yo, if you haven't been to the Blades in the Dark discord today, swing by! The mods have thoroughly revamped the structure to be easier and better to get around! #bladesinthedark

@ickbat Oh, I'm also keeping my eye on Together is the Guild as a D&D in FitD type of game robinaite.itch.io/together-is-th…

@JacobAlso Amazing, thank you! (I was wondering if it was that one.)

Where is the Forged in the Dark innovation happening right now? Which cool #FitD games should I be checking out? Shout out your favourites, and why you love them!

@ickbat ema-acosta.itch.io/exiles

@JacobAlso Could you drop me a link for Exiles? I’m having trouble finding that one — not a great title for SEO, alas! 😆 And Asphalt & Trouble update! It’s on my list, for reasons of possible thematic overlap with Speed Daemons…

@ickbat I shouldn't shortchange myself on A&T. It's got a bunch of cool modifications to the core rules, social dynamic rules, a limit break/action montage system, and lets you be a badass biker.

@ickbat I haven't gotten to play either, but both Exiles and As the Sun Forever Sets have been getting a lot of excitement. Of course I'm partial to my game Spellseekers for narrative spellcasting rules, and I recently released a major update to Asphalt & Trouble (less innovative though)

New release! I love the game Dialect, so I made a magic research academy backdrop. Be a wizard, develop your magical nomenclature, fight tooth and nail for funding and to keep your research pure, avoid the terrors that lurk beyond! jacobalso.itch.io/encyclopedia-o… #dialect #ttrpg

You can find all the submissions to the jam here! The goal of the jam was to create fan content for your favorite Forged in the Dark game. Let me know if you liked it, or want to participate again, and I might do another in the future. itch.io/jam/beyond-dar…

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Beyond Dark Horizons Forged in the Dark Jam! Its conclusion coincided with the busiest I've been in a long time, so I didn't get a chance to remind everyone that it was ending. If you've got a late submission, let me know!

@DrakeandDice @NaviMusing And if you couldn't tell by me taking days to reply, I regularly forget that Twitter exists

@DrakeandDice @NaviMusing It's nothing personal, in just terrible at advertising when I do things

Today, in shit I am mad about not seeing sooner. itch.io/jam/beyond-dar…

@barilleon An early version of Blades in the Dark had a Murder skill, which is pretty amazing

@barilleon So, ask other players if you're stuck. Also, when players are stuck in D&D, I often add more detail to help them make choices. It works for you too, choosing consequences. What else is going on in the scene? What else might get alerted, dragged in, accidentally damaged, etc.?

@barilleon One thing I learned when moving from 5e was to rely on other players to get me unstuck. In D&D, you've got clear consequences like damage, but you're also in charge of telling the story (mostly). FitD is much more open to other players contributing their own consequences, etc.

The are no rules saying a dog can't be #Speakerofthehouse.

At long last, here is an update to Asphalt & Trouble! It's got a lot of great updates, so check out the changelog on the itch page. jacobalso.itch.io/asphalt-and-tr…

final fantasy game where there is a crystal for every element in the periodic table

@FictionfirstNet Homunculus, unable to speak or disobey, but with its own mission

I GM my game of magical mischief! Check it out!
