#ttrpg review day!

This time a look at All Night Breakfast At The Midnight Owl by @critkituk.bsky.social

It's a super fun solo journaling game where you play as a paranormal investigator then produce a podcast about your findings.

We Turned DAGGERHEART Into A Slasher Movie (ft. Laurie Hernandez) | How's My Driving? YouTube video by The Panic Table

So this absolutely rules and is a must watch!

Like damn! Everything from the layout, the performances, the editing is inspiring. More actual plays like this please!

Also the game is pretty sick! @dngnclub.itch.io

Kick-ass job like always @panictable.bsky.social

The banner for Undead Paradise TTRPG. It shows the book cover and some background art of a ruined city.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a #ttrpg actual play group based in Australia to run an introductory scenario for Undead Paradise.

In this scenario, a group of recently reawakened zombies are introduced to the new mutated world and are asked to help locate some missing people in a depilated city.

I so massively enjoyed Zach's diversion into Artefact by @mousehole.press to tell the story of a magic item, adding new depth to the world.

Well worth a watch!

Book covers clockwise from top-left: Cryptid Creeks, Oyasumi Wonderland, Exquisite Biome, Tangled Blessings, Tales From the Spectral Sea, Inspirisles, Substratum Protocol, Midnight Muscadines, The Magical Land of Yeld 2e, Slasher, and Eco Mofos

Was hoping to make a video on some highlights from the No ICE in Minnesota mega bundle organised by @jesthehuman.itch.io

Been ill recently though so might not get to it in time.

In case I don't, here are (print versions of) just 11 of those 1439 titles!

Solo Relay Ep3 | Crafting a magic item with ARTEFACT (Solo-TTRPG)! YouTube video by Tales From The Unknown

New Youtube video just went up!

I am participating in the 2026 Solo Relay, a cool #ttrpg project that has 10 different creators telling one story!

Damn damn damn! That looks so good!

an ad for an upcoming ttrpg called "breathless". The game box, made in the design of a VHS, sits in the middle. LOOT. SHOOT. SURVIVE. The classic zombie horror RPG, remastered. One Box. Everything you need to survive. BREATHLESSS frightmare edition Launching on kickstarter 04.07.26 Logos for FairRPGs, Mythworks, and dngnclub are at the bottom.

So I think I'm finally allowed to make a big deal about the fact that @mythworks.bsky.social is publishing @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com 's amazing zombie game BREATHLESS (in the same StoryPak format as CBR+PNK!) and they asked me to lay it you and give it that retro horror vibe!

Oh! That looks so good!

Bring some flavor to your D&D/TTRPG game! #ttrpg YouTube video by Tales From The Unknown

One of my favorite things about Food & Evil by @goosepoopgames.com is how easy you can fit it into your already existing #ttrpg games!

Food & Evil is currently funding on Backerkit, so go check it out! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

Realised earlier it's been exactly 1 year since I published my first review!

It really doesn't seem like that long, but thank you anyone on here who has been part of that journey <3 I know we've had an impact in that time. Small, perhaps, but meaningful nonetheless.

I'm blown away by Robin's review and how well he summarizes its world and gameplay.

If you want to know more about Midnight Muscadines or are unsure if the game is for you, definitely give this a watch!

Youtube thumbnail image. In the centre, the front cover of Midnight Muscadines, featuring three Marmateers collecting magical grapes while being stalked by the Shadows of Tume. On the right: a deck of playing cards. Left: a journal. Text reads: My most played game of 2025

New #ttrpg review day!

Finally, Midnight Muscadines by @pandiongames.com

An open-ended solo+ game where you're just as likely to hang out in teahouses as you are to fight the servants of chained gods.

One of my favourite games ever and my most-played of 2025

Thank you! It was an amazing package ya'll put together!

A photograph of Backerkit rewards for Midnight Muscadines. Includes colorful post cards, a set of glittery purple and blue dice, a decorated box and the Midnight Muscadines box. All created by Pandion Games.

Life has been a bit hectic lately and the arrival of Midnight Muscadines by @pandiongames.com has been exactly the remedy ive needed to slow things down!

Absolutely gorgeous game that I can't wait to dig into!

I'm affordable and even offer a discounted price for #ttrpg work! So, please reach out to me if you have any inquiries or questions.

Are you a #TTRPG creator looking to get some video work done? I've had some slots open up for some new clients and would love to work with you!

Need some convincing? Here is my TTRPG-specific portfolio: zachhavenlok.portfoliobox.net

along with two recent trailers that I produced/created:

an ad for the "Highway to Hell bundle" which includes THE GAS STATION (depicted as a playstation one game) and HOWS MY DRIVING (depicted as a VHS tape). "2 horror rpgs for $9.99"

In celebration of @panictable.bsky.social 's HOW MY DRIVING stream, I created a new bundle.

-HMD: a roadtrip horror game that uses a version of DAGGERHEART's Duality DIce system.

-TGS: a system agnostic location in the middle of no where. (includes the micro horror game INSTANT HORROR)

Just spoke with @matthewayers.bsky.social about Blightfall for our Zine Month series on Talk of the Table.

That interview will be out later this month, but I fully expect everyone reading this to have already backed the game by then!

Putting this out into the universe, I WILL attempt to make something for #zimo/#zinetopia next year.

I got some ideas cooking, just need to start making them happen.

Thank you! It's easy when I get to work with such awesome designers!

I get to make rad things about rad games!

I had the privilege of creating the trailer for "Undead Paradise". A unique and wonderful #ttrpg about discovering adventure and paradise in the world after!

Like every trailer I get to make, i'm incredibly proud of what we cooked up. So if you have a second please check it out!
