I might approach #aprilttrpgmaker from the boardgaming side of things as I'm neither an RPG designer, creator, nor writer, yet I want to join in on the fun.
Self-care is not metal, but I seriously think it is punk. Society does not fucking want you to be healthy, it wants you to be at just the edge where you're still productive. Fuck that, live awesome.
I made my first game! it's a 1-page RPG about being trees in a tree-grove. Give it a look if you want! (comments are ON) https://bit.ly/2I6UqX3
I'm more nervous to share this video than all previous ones! I guess it's cause it's about my gender identity and it feels more vulnerable. I talk about how my gender informs my play and design in rpgs. Video here: https://youtu.be/niokxmUF_E4

I think this might officially be "beta"
Do you ever feel the term game designer doesn't well reflect the creative or even artistic expression that is involved in creating games?
When ever I use this term with people who are not involved in RPGs there is a complete misunderstanding of what I mean.
As an RPG designer do you consider yourself to be essentially the same thing as a board or video game designer?
I have this frustration with Kickstarter RPGs who have a higher tier for print+ PDF as opposed to just print. Same with print on demand. If I buy the book give me the PDF. Am I wrong?

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

My older brother played and I wanted in bad because everything he did was so cool to me at the time.
I never played with him then but years later found someone who owned the books and didn't take no for an answer. It was D&D 2e in about 94. We still play rpgs together.
At #YEG, jumping on a red eye to Toronto then off to Philadelphia in the morning. Super excited for #paxunplugged. First Con ever for this guy.

Hi everyone, my name is Johnathon and I am an aspiring game designer.
I am new to game design and although I have some ambitious projects in mind currently I am only working on short games.
I haven't published anything yet but I have two games playtesting and you can find them one my web page.
I can't wait to get to know more people here and talk RPGs.
