Serenity https://www.wikiart.org/en/mikalojus-ciurlionis/serenity-1905

people suggest blogs and yo for rpg ideas, world building/lore inspo when honestly the best stuff you'll find is stuff like a pdf scan of an essay from the 70s titled "Lip-Blown Instruments of Ireland Before The Norman Invasion"

game writers are allowed to make a little game in between major ones, as a treat

not only is this covered in Building a Binder, it’s the first point of the blark ttrpg values list

He did not care anymore.

ppl always try to dunk “take an improv class if you dont want to play the game!” and its like yes absolutely literally any other hobby adds a dynamism and flux to your table more than just slopping on game design

its been rewarding to work on expanding the languages and their utility in Meatheads only for players to encounter them and be like "nah im not reading that shit"

free ttrpg mechanic for you: whenever i jingle the house keys you can play pretend

sometimes when im down i look at my cpt sisko mug and i ask what would he do (commit REDACTED)

"ttrpgs are GAMES what else would you be playing??" idk, maybe pretend

im interested in what people’s home table top set ups are like. this current spot has served well over the past couple years!

i write ttrpgs for the same reason everyone else does: to impress beautiful women.

setting aside my outfit to DM tomorrow

this actually worked

ive inadvertently brought back square crawls but im too humble to take credit 😌

push to standardize RPG classification

saw this game at a thrift shop, anyone kno anything about it?

a friend of mine gave me the dating advice to “cool it on the nerd shit” and im sorry but i must live authentically

I tried to draw some Orbital Megastructure action scene, lol, I am not a comic book artist as you can see. But I had fun drawing it, which is what count. :3

ive been doing therapy sessions before Meatheads so i go from speaking about my fear of loneliness and emptiness to talking like Macho Man Randy Savage within a very quick timeframe

These lands are sickened by a nascent power that makes its womb in the ruddy soil. Hurled to the earth eons ago by an outer hand, it was followed as a red prophecy by a steel culture. METEORITE OF THE RED CEPHALOPOD An adventure for @morkborg.com & other OSR games! halforc.itch.io/crater-of-th...

I refuse to read anything with bullet points. That's a slop indicator even stronger than the em dash, whether machine or human generated.

Hey btw you can hire me to do layout on magazines and rpgs. Here is just a small collection of my works. More examples in the thread to come.

I recently inherited an old 1981 card game called Dragonmaster that features superb art by Bob Pepper (1938-2019). High quality scans of the deck below. Not sci-fi but seems like an artist @70sscifiart.bsky.social might know more about? #dragonmaster #cardgame #bobpepper

Returning to Transumbria with a new map

dont worry, one day you’ll surely make the game that will make everyone like you

was fiddling with a graphic design to represent an Xin6 die chance and ended up making a clock. immediately ripped it up.

going here to off myself in ways you can’t imagine

4. The Doppelgänger's Duet by @blarkblarkblark.bsky.social Creepy as fuck, with extraordinarily vivid word choice. I want every adventurer to have to deal with this parasitic monster, in this disgusting place. I do not ever want to be one of those poor adventurers 😱

my entry into the Appendix N jam slipped in by the skin of its teeth. a small scenario for old school dungeon crawlers made with the help of @golden-achiever.bsky.social

my ttrpg opinion is that a lot of you would be happier writing board games
