RPG in a Box News

Four years ago today, I left my full-time job to focus solely on RPG in a Box. For close to three years before that I had devoted most of my spare time to its development. RPG in a Box is a dream, a vision, an extension of who I am.

Through it I want to give people the ability to bring their own ideas, stories, and worlds to life. I hope it brings joy, fulfillment, and positivity to the lives of as many people as possible, providing a way to express themselves creatively and imaginatively.

Thank you to everyone that has supported RPG in a Box in any way, whether through words of encouragement, a purchase, a review, a donation, helping spread the word to others, or creating games and sharing about them. It all means so much!

Hey everyone! If you'd like to have screenshots of your game included in the September showcase (or would like to replace any that are currently included), please have them submitted by September 23rd. I'd love to include as many of your projects as possible, whether they're currently in development or past projects. Feel free to submit 2-3 images for each game that you're working on! These should be a PNG or high-quality JPEG with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a size of at least 1280x720. You can send them via Twitter, Discord, or e-mail: justin (at) rpginabox.com.

Thank you so much, I look forward to seeing more of what the community is creating!
