The @shop.peregrinecoast.press mission statement 🫡

Critique Navidad! Brinkwood and Spire, eat your hearts out, Chain x Link is the fantastical revolution for me. Play revolutionary leaders, jailed in a megadungaeon, fighting your way out, smuggling loot to your faction, while also running the faction above ground! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/09/c...

It’s Critique Navidad, and today I look at AM radio station simulator, VOID 1680 AM. Don’t dream of being a DJ, become one, in this fascinating game (and community) idlecartulary.com/2025/12/08/c...

Are you interested in going Beyond Beyond Corny Grön? Then Castle of the Veiled Queen may be for you! Explore this castle of intrigue and backstabbing this week, in the bathtub! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/08/b... #osr

I wouldn't be completely lying if I said the trading card game is my favorite new addition to Songbirds~

Songbirds is a survival horror dungeon crawler where the dead come back to life and you just constantly get brutalized. It's more disco elysium than D&D. It's got unique classes, body mods, otherworldly beings, and all you need to run the game packed into one PDF. snowttrpg.itch.io/songbirds-3e

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

i worked on the mechanics for this !! this is what ive been doing when im not working on wizards btw

On the 5th day of Critique Navidad, my true love brought to me Fear and Panic, and elegant lightweight take on Call of Cthulhu, and a potential competitor to Liminal Horror! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/05/c...

I dropped this prelaunch page a few weeks ago without getting into many more details. And now I have some pretty spreads too. So: 🧵 NULL_SPACE is itchfunding for Zine Month (Feb 2026)! Smash that "notify me" button and I'll let you know when: binary-star-games.itch.io/null-space-p...

Two years! As far as personal projects go, nothing has ever felt as fulfilling as this. I'm very grateful that people listen ❤️ A special thanks to @simonwl.bsky.social who was commissioned to draw this episode's header image as a wedding present for me!

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes...uh...a bit of a weird one. I've been watching a girl play adult dating sim Huniepop and it's making me think about the patriarchy. magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2025/12/maki...

Happy Critique Navidad my friends! A year ago, Clayton suggested the best gift of all was to write about a designers game, so I decided to review your games for the holiday season! I’m doing it again this year — a review (or so) every day! Submit your own if you dare!

An anti-fascist game has been maliciously and erroneously flagged by a massive corporation "to protect the children" and this action is destroying the studio. Go by the game on GOG, people, it's $5

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM THE DATACACHE

I had fun at PAX Unplugged! I played over 20 hours worth of games and went out to the local taverns every night. How did I do it all? That’s proprietary, but you can instead read all about the games I played #osr #ttrpg

I just published my first Mothership module: Twinkle Twinkle little star The module will have your crew investigating a solar research ship orbiting a dying star, can you figure out what happened, and will you complete their mission? Available now on itch! personable.itch.io/twinkle-twin...

I may have been the last person in the OSR to own a copy of Knock. Subway reading while I take the Northern line to Morden!

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

Back Lilancholy!!!

I wrote a #mothership module about greasy spoon diners, dementia, gendered violence, and uploaded intelligence. Minimalist Jam 4 entry - No Art, No Layout. Judge my writing as I’ve judged yours. valerialoves.itch.io/yonkers-fles...

Can't really see the building outright, but got a good view of the new Dragonmeet locale

Seriously considering buying a domain and getting off blogspot.

I have no idea what any of this means - maybe "RPG blogging isn't dead"? It sure is cool though.

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky? elmc.at/mapping-the-... To check out the graph directly follow this link: graph.elmc.at

Liz does a great analysis of different types of objectivity and subjectivity in games, which is very useful for articulating which types of game you like and why.

Another day, another new RP discord server profile - lots of exciting stuff continues to be happening in the post #OVER/UNDER bubble!

The first episode of the new video podcast, Rose Playing Games, is out! Join two Roses on a journey through hex mapping in tabletop RPGs, and the possibilities that lie beyond the grid.

Still polishing my own jam entry up for release, but Thursday's entry was one of my absolute favourites. Gorgeous and eminently usable in any campaign set on Prospero's Dream.

The Castle Automatic is a dungeon where you control the time of year, time of day, and the weather to solve puzzles, avoid vampires, and reclaim the world's most magical treasures. Be an Early Worm and back the preorder at a discounted price! www.exaltedfuneral.com/pages/the-ca...

Y'all know beefstink wrote Orphans? #over/under

I love the genre mashup. Give me all the Golden Girls/Cthulhus and WWII/Draculas you've got. But I'm also looking for non-mashups. Sometimes it feels like the industry has an allergy. Westerns without magic. Drama without aliens. Detectives without Cthulhu. www.explorersdesign.com/one-genre-ga...

#over/under was not one of a kind. I have been playing similar games for the last EIGHT YEARS. Today, I give this medium a name - "Live Text Roleplay" - and help you build a community of your own. www.valerialoves.com/how-to-repli...

Licked a weird mushroom, ate some guy's brain (he asked for it), and got radiation poisoning. Had a great time!

I've got the previous edition of this, and I recommend picking up this reprint in the strongest possible terms. Snow's writing is her greatest strength, and this is a fantastic showcase for it.

Hey - if you're a Denizen of The Dream in #OVER/UNDER and want to follow more of the fun and cool people you've met over there over here then this is a darn good place to look: go.bsky.app/2dTRvz3

KIT SPEAKS

Tonight in #Over/Under, I did a drinking contest with nasty drinks. If you want to put the nasty drinks in your Mothership (or other RPG) game, here's the menu: personabler.blogspot.com/2025/11/ten-...

I conducted mini-interviews with seven new @mothership.bsky.social designers last week. Find them all here: 5millionworlds.blogspot.com/2025/11/moth...

Of the different types of dungeon rooms, "Special" can be one of the hardest to write towards. This list of sub-categories of special rooms has great prompts! In a🧵 below, I delve into examples from CASTLE AUTOMATIC for each sub-type of special rooms. (Warning: Spoilers for the dungeon!)

The Palestinian Children's Relief - TTRPG Bundle for PCRF is live! Come support Palestinian children and get a ton of TTRPG and Pring/Play titles for $10! itch.io/b/3299/pales... Free Palestine!
