Shiny TTRPG links #264 Now a bloggie-nominated series! seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/02/shin... #ttrpg #osr #dnd #diyrpg

Bloggies Voting goes live Monday morning, but the voting forms stealthily go live today... So, you might be asking, "What blog posts are in this year's Thunderdome?" You can find the whole list here.

The r/osr weekly blogroll - a touch late but all the better for you to share your great weekend ideas! www.reddit.com/r/osr/commen... #ttrpg #DnD #bx #OSE #DIYrpg #rpg #GLOG #OSR #POSR #NSR

Reviewing "Fief: A Look at Medieval Society from its Lower Rungs" - a good general primer on the details of medieval society; helps a DM better portray the ordinary folk of a game world. seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/02/revi... #dnd #ttrpg #osr

That delightful feeling of searching for inspiration and having someone reference a relevant 'lost lore' book - that you have on your shelves these 20 years! Also gone an hour past bed time but much scheming for upcoming game achieved. #dnd #prep

I wrote about underwater adventures in D&D. Aquatic environments have everything you need in a D&D game - dungeons & dragons (in turtle form). Why don't we go there more, & how might we change that? Did you know about The Deluge in the ancient past of AD&D's implied setting? I didn't! #AD&D #OSR

Blog enthusiasts! It's been a huge community effort. We're proud to present WE READ THE BLOGGIES. The year's best blogging coming to you - in audio form. A show to SAVE YOUR EYES and SOOTHE YOUR EARS. Catch up on all your Bloggies reading before voting commences next week! #ttrpg #podcast #blog

No one has satisfactorily answered the fundamental question of why I should bother to read something you couldn't be bothered to write

The Bloggies Nominees are here! We are 1 week away from voting, so I need everyone's help spreading the word. Congrats to all the nominees and blogs submitted—this last year was incredible. Forming the lists was equal parts rewarding and painful. www.explorersdesign.com/this-years-b...

Shiny TTRPG links #263 Early birds may have seen this wrongly written as last weeks #262 again - these are fresh links, just the title was wrong... seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/02/shin... #ttrpg #osr #dnd #diyrpg

An only slightly late r/osr blogroll - all the better for you to share your great weekend ideas! www.reddit.com/r/osr/commen... #ttrpg #DnD #bx #OSE #DIYrpg #rpg #GLOG #OSR #POSR #NSR

Childhood Appendix N thoughts - geographic constriction, lack of access to old stuff and just less new stuff in general meant there was a more common set of shared references when & where I started seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/02/chil... #ttrpg #dnd #osr

Thoughts on when you cannot trust what the DM tells you - in this case because other domain game players are inside your information loop: in-game information tampering as a type of PVP - fine if everyone signed up for it, less so if not seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/02/secr... #ttrpg #diyrpg

Figuring out What Happened To The Silver Spoon Boys? in @munkao.bsky.social’s Kala Mandala for today’s public holiday game. We did a short playtest just until the party got to speak to a ghost and it was really fun to run. Excited to see the final form of this adventure.

Hey hey! Just released “A Sliver of Evidence” an 18 pg module for Cairn and it’s completely free, check it out! #cairn #ttrpg #osr karlyanders.itch.io/a-sliver-of-...

Hello! Are you in the UK/Canada/Aus/NZ? Did you discover RPGs through any of the paperback-book games released in the mid-1980s (Fighting Fantasy RPG, Advanced FF, Maelstrom, Dragon Warriors, Tunnels & Trolls)? Can I ask you a couple of questions for an article? Please get in touch.

Just released the 2nd version of my set of hex tiles based on paintings from The Met Collection. This version brings the number of tiles from 6 to 44 and includes bangers such as ocean tiles, making it usable to create real maps for the first time. jonasmerlin.itch.io/the-met-coll... #ttrpg #osr

The fact Facebook has so many Longbeards of Warhammer is the only reason I don't leave it.

This is the kind of rules-lawyering I can give a hearty thumbs up to - USA folks, seize your opportunity...

Someone broke into my car but didn’t steal anything, including the giant jar of assorted coinage in my back seat. There’s something to be said here about encumbrance but idk what it is.

OSR hive-mind, I seek wisdom! I'm looking for some posts. I read them in lockdown or before, so likely pre-2022. the author was designing OSR(ish) fantasy classes, by solely (or mainly) descriptive means. abilities as statements - no dice, no mechanical bits, just words. does this ring familiar?

I used @ktrey.bsky.social Wilderness Stocking (Expanded) tables for an 'edge of map' hex to support the #hexcrawl25 campaign - the nested links to the vast library of pre-existing tables makes it a joy to use. seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2026/01/actu... #osr #dnd #ttrpg #diyrpg

A short but sweet post this week. Next week's article is a semi-sequel to my 1 HP Dragon post from last year. www.explorersdesign.com/top-5-newsle...

A lot of people conceptualize random encounters as the party encountering the monsters, but they make more sense the other way: the monsters encounter the party. Below is a thread on what most people get wrong about encounter activities and what there is to be done about it. (1/14)

Read this for how Orthopraxy "articulate[s] different approaches to game preparation" - it may help you identify what approach best suits you. Not everything laid out as universal best practice is suited to everyone. #osr #dnd #ttrpg
