Why Subscribe?

Into the Portal is a TTRPG design-focused blog & newsletter by the folks from Portalier Press, balancing public and subscriber-only posts. Subscription is totally free, and just requires signing up.

So, why subscribe? Subscribing to Into the Portal as a newsletter not only makes sure every post lands in your email inbox so you don't miss them, it gives you access to subscriber-only posts like development diaries and early drafts of Portalier Press games.

Examples of some subscriber-only posts:

• The subscribers-only version of our '25/'26 Development Slate, with a breakdown of a bunch of early-development games not covered in our public post.
• Our Fall '25 Playtesting Packet, containing six unreleased, unplaytested micro-TTRPGs, including never-before-seen games like The Box and Gilded Blades.
• Our initial development diary for Devil's Hollow, our in-the-works GMless game about monster hunters straining against the pulls of resentment and temptation.

The more subscribers we have, the more time we can devote to making games! So we're really grateful to everyone who signs up and reads Into the Portal.
