@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialWe received our backer copy of Journeymon! Yesterday, I left it out for my 10-year-old to see when he got home from school. This morning, I woke up to find him reading like this, halfway through the rulebook. 😊

@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialYes. 🙋🏻♂️ After the tariffs were declared unconstitutional, our small board game business immediately sought refunds for the hundreds of thousands of dollars we paid in illegal Trump tariffs. After months of forms and applications, we have been refunded less than $5,000.
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialHey @lulavampiro.bsky.social can this be my next Hexbeat character?
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialThis week I visited Dragonsteel HQ with @suenshine.bsky.social, Lead Designer of the Cosmere RPG. We had a great time seeing everyone there and seeing how well Kickstarter fulfillment is going. While we were at it, we recorded some videos on how to play in the Mistborn campaign setting!
@brotherwisegames.bsky.socialReposted by @johnnyoneal.bsky.socialWhile coming off the high of the Mistborn RPG digital fulfillment yesterday, we joined up with our friends at Demiplane for an AMA on Reddit today! Here are some of the standout questions and answers from both teams: 👇🧵
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialSame!
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialYeah, that is such a good candid photo!
@dealunart.bsky.socialReposted by @johnnyoneal.bsky.socialI think I can finally share this one now that it’s been revealed! Had the pleasure of doing the cover art for the Well of Ascension Expansion of the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game! Loved working on this one.

@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialIf you're an aspiring or freelance RPG designer, I encourage you to check out Plotweaver Academy. Many of the free articles are relevant to designing for any system, and it's a really cool look behind the scenes of RPG design. Check out this article from last week:
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialI can speak to it! The Cosmere RPG Lead, Lyla Fujiwara, is incredibly passionate about playtesting and has put our books through thousands of hours of testing. I don't want to tag her in a thread on her day off, but please check out some of her writing on playtesting:

@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialCosmere has its Sanderfan core, but is absolutely a game made by and for the TTRPG community. At Gen Con we had nonstop games running in our Cosmere room and beyond. I encourage you to look into the resumes of the system's leads, or check out our Discord. We're a real game!
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialThe Plotweaver team, especially Setting Leads @kiennas.bsky.social and @anarisis.dylangrinder.com, have created a unique fantasy world with emotion-based magic, ancient technology, and a high concept of adventuring as therapy for a wounded world.
Journey to Erstwild and share your feedback!
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialTo support the Open Alpha for our first Plotweaver setting, the @plotweaver.bsky.social team has created a new PDF of imagery to introduce your players to Erstwild! Just visit PlotweaverRPG.com and click on the link to access our Google Drive for the Alpha playtest materials!
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialTold my wife that this was an award for the handsomest men at Gen Con.
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialGood guesses! I was the Recluse, next to me is the Saint, and Erin perfectly nailed the Librarian expression here.
@johnnyoneal.bsky.social☝️That photo shows our Mistborn leads with the books they led: Meric Moir (Mistborn World Guide), Lydia Suen (Mistborn Handbook), and Lyla Fujiwara (Mistborn Legacy). We're also grateful to Andrew Fischer, who passed the Cosmere RPG Design Lead baton to Lydia before moving on to lead Plotweaver!
@johnnyoneal.bsky.socialI feel incredibly lucky that @brotherwisegames.bsky.social has been able to work with some of the industry's most talented designers to create the Cosmere RPG. It's a joy to work every day with Mistborn campaign setting leads @mericmoir.bsky.social, @suenshine.bsky.social, and @lyla.bsky.social.
