Oh shit oh golly it's the finale of Quinns Quest Season 2 I could have reviewed other, bigger-name fantasy TTRPGs that would have gotten me more traffic. Instead, I chose to review the one that you should actually know about www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH5-...

although Melniboné is long decayed, the younger race will never be able to take Imrryr, the Dreaming City

everyone has inside of them a MEGADUNGEON just waiting to get out

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.

He is Risen.

Someone set up a random art exhibition with all their dungeon paintings and it’s friggin’ kewl www.reddit.com/r/osr/s/BUHf...

Just finished the finale for Paradise. And you can’t tell me that at least some of its creators loved the shite out of Final Fantasy 7

⚔️ Conan Issue 15 Variant Cover ❄️ I love Atali set against the moon here🌸😊🌸

Microhabitats are tricky to paint for me, but fun to look at 🍄‍🟫 #watercolor #sketchbook #painting

my least OSR take is that I like a billion different species in my games but my most OSR take is that they all have to be a b/x class.

i will absolutely delete my discord account rather than give them personal info to verify age. that company has had so many hacks. they've /already/ had a hack which revealed scanned photo IDs. i'm not giving them my personal info. reverse the policy decision. www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

design thread for the current prototype and design work i'm making a fairly self-contained dungeon crawling microcosm. for this microcosm of the game, i'm doing two closely interrelated magical energy types. they aren't rigidly attached to damage types.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Been reading the Morgaine books by CJ Cherryh. Really enjoying them, though it’s hard to pin down their overall vibe. I dig the two doomed outsider protagonists though. And their relationship to one another being some insane mix of camaraderie and conflict is very enjoyable.

I don’t think any video game studio will ever top SEGA’s 2009 Christmas Card

my thing is even I didn't have a fiery personal grudge against Twitter, I would not use it for the same reason I don't use Facebook - it's a miserable user experience. It's nothing but ads and ragebait and ai slop. It doesn't have to be a moral stance, it's just a shit product

One of the most gorgeous games I've come across in awhile is Vaults of Vaarn. I love these kind of settings born out of a creators' passion for an imagined place. Ultimately, they're some of my favorite things about roleplaying games. vaults-of-vaarn-second-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

I don't think vast swathes of slums pocketed with a smattering of gated communities would make for a very good society, and yet, seemingly half the population votes in that direction. y tho

The Intro to this lady's vid about Atlyss is one of the most succinct explainers for the history and state of modern MMO's I've seen youtu.be/SvYkxhE9bbU?...

Apartment Complex is advertising FREE SOUNDBARS for anyone upon signing lease. I’ll put that place on my uninhabitable list kthx

One of the most dangerous types of person in civic life is the rich guy (and it's almost always a guy) who thinks that they have expertise on all matters because they're rich.

THEW ALERT

bro your rent-seeking behavior is ruining everything

Last week, a unemployed Texan barred from getting a job in his field by a noncompete agreement stepped up to intervene in the federal lawsuit and defend the FTC's ban on noncompetes that Trump's FTC won't. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social talked to Ric Davidson about his story & why he decided to fight.

The mood on Barrens Chat is not good.

A majority of the, checks notes, 8% of Texas voters just voted, yet again, in favor of our malignant wealth hoarders, monopolists and rent-seekers. Oh well, I did my part.

Its Jennell jaquays birthdat. She left this realm last January. Her her adventure design and artwork made a bigger impact on me than any other judges guild writer. I even used the color scheme from Hellpits of Nightfang for inspiration when illustrating Duginthroat Divided. Here's a small tribute.

really if we were all about our business we'd every one of us be over on neocities being cool neocities.org/browse

Local game store just expanded their ttrpg section all while consolidating the mtg/pokemon/warhammer slop sold out and behind a counter and it’s awesome

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

"Why megadungeons?" My pitch is that they are a campaign format that concentrates ideas, maximizes novelty, uses familiarity to advantage, and can be run in 2-4 hour sessions. Plus, between Silk Song and Delicious in Dungeon- everyone knows what they are! icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

That empty ass courtyard in Mario 64 really brought up a whole generation of folks obsessed with liminal spaces didn’t it

We are concerned about the loss of insects, but we live in a fallow desolate land few would recognize; the birds once blotted the sky for hours at a time, the fish so numerous the surface of the waters teemed with them so as to seem like you could walk on the surface. We live in ashes.

Been reading a lot of Chekhov lately. And I don’t know of it’s their content or their age that make reading them so enjoyably haunting for me

"All I need is some evocative sprite work and some good flavor text to chew on, and I'm off to the races. Or, as is more likely the case, being brutally murdered on my way to the races by some sort of ogre or minotaur." www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...
