If you know of or run an awards show/process for TTRPGs, I want to hear about it! I'm trying to put together an accessible and updated list so that indie devs can more easily find and submit their games. If you're a smaller show, that's great! Hopefully I can get some more submissions for your show!
The 2025 Indie Groundbreaker Awards are nearly here and we need Judges! Do you know tabletop games? TTRPGs? Card games? Resource collection? We need your expertise. Join us on a panel of Judges to declare 2025’s best indie tabletop games.

To continue the IGDN representation, we released Runecaster this year!
You play as rookie mages who cast unique spells by combining runes, with explosive failure. The game has a unique drawing and narrative system for casting

I spent 4 years making a final fantasy #ttrpg

It's free, and nearly 800 pages long across three books.
The IGDN’s Diversity Sponsorship has long supported emerging developers from marginalized backgrounds. After a pause in 2025 to revitalize the program under new leadership, we're excited to be re-launching in 2026! That effort begins right here, with your help!

A black and white digital drawing for the TTRPG Crucible of Aether depicts two figures. The first is a woman with bird-like features wearing a dress and looking out a window. She is holding a goblet in one and and oblivious to the second figure. The second figure has mouselike facial features and is wearing tattered clothes, bits of armor and many pouches. The second figure also has a rat on one shoulder and is wielding two knives as they stalk behind the first figure.
A black and white drawing for the TTRPG Crucible of Aether depicts a figure in a toga sitting on wide marble stairs above a cityscape. The figure, who has canine-like facial features, is grinding herbs with a mortar and pestle while looking at instructions on a piece of parchment she is holding down with a foot.
A color image depicts a collage of four figures from the Crucible of Aether TTRPG, as well as the logo for the game and a render of the book. A masked figure in rotting wraps and a cloak holds out a blooming flower in their hand. A second figure has green and red tattoos, red hair and blue feathering around their face. A third figure has a metal mask, metal arm and holds a flintlock pistol in one hand. A fourth figure stands in the back with a bat hanging from their harm and a knife in one hand. Their red eyes look to the viewer. Knots of vines and metal cables frame either side of the image.
The Crucible of Aether Kickstarter is LIVE!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
kickstarter workday at the cafe, its starting to feel real 😖
Those all apply to me!
We're named after one of our developer's cat :3
