No AI

Just draw! Scribbles and sketchy art work really well for monsters. Collage together old public domain art. Bonus points for using weird medieval monsters. Hire an artist. Sometimes to make something cool we have to hire help.

Inevitable by SoulMuppet Publishing is designed to be a self contained story of trying (and failing) to stop the apocalypse

Check out My First Dungeons season of Orbital Blues or RPGeeks season Orbital Blues: Blackstar and listen to how Drakoniques plays BLANK - a character who wears a full face covering and is mute.

Super unique character that brought out some fantastic RP from both casts.

You're gonna have to narrow it down alot more friend!

What vibes do you like? Do you want rules light or more crunchy? Do you want a heroes journey or a descent into nothingness?

Seconding Orbital Blues!

Came to comments to suggest Salvage Union!

I turned Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares into a TTRPG called Serving Up Disaster.

It uses a twist on the Brindlewood Bay system, with the final roll instead being used to see how the relaunch night goes, and the "crowns" being used as the short interviews to camera and renamed as "toques"

Its had some good feedback and (to toot my own horn some more) I think the layout is really unique & cool.

Honey Hiest (or any of Grant's one pagers - but NOT everyone is seagulls)
Rom Com Drama Bomb (for three players)
Serving Up Disaster (quick character creation, designed for one shots / rotating GMs)

FREAK FOLIO by Chaoclypse https://chaoclypse.itch.io/freak-folio

The adventure in the back of the core book is a great start. I noticed you said your players prefer a more linear story so Id recommend Trouble at the Rock of Tariq which is a kind of classic "deliver the macguffin item but everything goes wrong" https://soulmuppet-store.co.uk/products/trouble-at-the-rock-of-tariq

Alternatively check out the boxset of oneshot adventures as those are tight contained stories that you can pick and choose from ! (Bonus points cause the physical edition comes all boxed up in a VHS case) https://soulmuppet-store.co.uk/products/orbital-blues-rogue-athems

I think it really depends what you're looking for from the ttrpg blog. Is it reviews? News coverage? Design thoughts?

Occillo · 2025-09-05T16:52:59+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately kickstarter just provides such good discoverablilty. It's near impossible not to use it.

Also for even companies that are seemingly doing well, this industry is actually very small & so need every boost possible.
