Me and my 167 open tabs are doing just fine (...now that I have an extension to auto-sleep tabs that haven't been used in a while so they don't eat my RAM)

EUphoria's signature navy blue background with yellow d4 stars and sparkles. EUphoria's logo in the top left, a round yellow frame with navy blue background, and a large shooting star made up of yellow d4s streaking from right to left, a yellow tail trailing behind. 
A large logo in the centre of frame - similar to the EUphoria logo, but with a lighter blue on the streaks of the comet's tail, a light blue broken circle orbiting the star, and two yellow d8s floating on that orbit.
Text below,  in a yellow-outlined white blocky font reads 'Coming May 2026'
Bottom text reads 'supported by' next to a Moonshine Adventure Company logo, a sandy yellow moon draped in a purple banner bearing the words 'The Moonshine Adventure Co.' and surrounded by small stars.

It's real.

It's online, and it's European timezone friendly.

Get ready for a day of talks and panels, and a day of community games, all built from the ground up to be accessible, diverse, and to build community across borders!

Small Folk in Big Coats A simple and chaotic RPG about a group of smallfolk with wildly differing goals.

My Zinequest project is live!

In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together.

It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out!

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

ive had a cluster of opportunities lately to Intensely Talk Design with a decent number of TTRPG designers & one really lovely general community norm that i deeeeply appreciate is the habit of wearing references on sleeves & openly tying the work being produced now to the work that influenced it
