I’ve inherited my godfather’s classic AD&D minis. They’re in crazy good condition, and I think they’re all here. The best part though, is that they’re all mixed up, and I’m exactly the kind of nerd that will absolutely have the most fun I can possibly imagine reorganizing them.

It’s a crazy mixed up world, but If there’s one thing you can rely on, it is this: When drawing a battle axe, I will 100% without fail put a little chip in the blade.

Really into these d10s that are just d20s with doubled values.

I've been working on (and restarting again and again) a YouTube video about TTRPG stuff, and every new version of it includes increasingly better and better things to say about @outridercreative.bsky.social 's mustache

My first TTRPG I played was a VERY homebrewed version of something B/X-ish that would probably be considered an OSR-style hack if we had those words for it. It was the "friend's older brother making shit up to appease the younger kids without trying to hard" system.

So proud of this one!

New adventures await! The Secret of the Night Market is here from @outridercreative.bsky.social !! I freaking adore markets, so I can't wait to crack this open and get it to the table.

Among the gigantic stack of D&D books and modules I inherited from my godfather, I found what I was hoping for! One of his character sheets! You better believe Oz the Rainbow Bard has adventures in him yet. 🥲

Inside me there are two dragons.

I’ll tell you, nothing gets me as PUMPED as getting an email from a librarian asking for digital assets for Perils & Princesses and permission to use the artwork for the library. YES! Whatever you need! 👑

Love to hear it! 👑

I have a note on my phone that’s just words I come across that feel like they belong in Perils & Princesses. Ichor is definitely one of them. A few more: Escritoire Bemused Dovecote Sippets Greengage Melrosette Leechcraft Ensorcelled Broom flowers

You don’t need to start something new to “Get organized” in your community. Find the local orgs that have been doing the work, and who already know the work and join up and ask where you can help.

My first memory of role playing games was sitting with godfather, my Uncle John as he rolled up a character for a D&D game. He passed away a few years ago, and I just got a message from my aunt who found a TON of his old D&D and TTRPG stuff in storage, and she’s gonna mail it to me. My heart!

Tannic is one of my favorite adventures of all time, and I can’t wait to dig into the new one from Amanda P!

I wrote a game for the #goosepoopzinejam called FREAK OUT!!! It’s about being a teen and trying to hide a messy part of yourself which has emerged at the most inconvenient possible time. Can you tell the last two things I got into were Slugblaster and K-Pop Demon Hunters? jq37.itch.io/freak-out

Got a lot of blocks and unfollows on insta today because I think Michigan shouldn’t pass a bill that bans all adult content and makes it illegal to be trans.

My jaw dropped.

Rachel’s work is amazing and these patches are gorgeous!

Speaking of Kickstarter gifts to your future yourself, I just got Beetle Knight by @brookletgames.bsky.social and it’s soooo stunning. I can’t wait to dig in.

Random encounters give you, the GM, an opportunity to PLAY YOUR GAME. I love being surprised by the world and the challenge of determining the how and why. Rolled up d6 wolves? Are they starving? Displaced from their habitat? Hunting? Running from something? Do they know a secret?

Souptember is off to a good start. This week’s soups: Mushroom Wild Rice, Beef Stew, Zuppa Toscana. Bonus: Shin Ramyun with wontons cabbage and chili oil.

Been feeling angry and helpless in Chicago. Today I signed up for a neighborhood ICE watch and supported 2 different immigrant-owned business in the neighborhood. Being part of your community and being a good neighbor is something you can do every day.

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you

Look at that! Thanks for picking up the full Perils & Princesses lineup!

Rolled a crit fail backing out of my garage just now. Someone moved a dumpster to a spot out of my eyeline and I dinged the corner of the rear windshield which was enough to absolutely shatter the thing. Not really what I wanted to deal with today.

It really is! @scenefour.bsky.social cooked up something real special.

You know what's great? When a Kickstarter arrives! Thanks @outridercreative.bsky.social and @scenefour.bsky.social

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two posters.

Asking in earnest: When someone says a TTRPG is cinematic…what does that actually mean?

Watching Last Unicorn, hot coffee with milk, soup on the stove, blankets on the couch, drawing pictures in a sunny window.

Honored to have Perils & Princesses in such good company at the Goosepoop Games table!

An incredibly accessible TTRPG tool that I don’t hear a lot of talk about: you can roll polyhedral dice just by googling the dice you want to roll. Then it brings up this nifty little in browser dice rolling app.

My 13 year old telling me he’s joining D&D club at his school deeply warmed my heart just now.

Exporting branding assets in different file types is so important but it’s easily the most tedious phase of any design project. Plus it can only happen at the very end so there’s no way to get it done early. 😩

Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.

Landlord is selling our house with no warning and we have to be out by the end of the month. Making the best of a stressful situation - Shares and reposts appreciated!

Fresh batch of community copies posted for Perils & Princesses, Sweet Revenge and Secret of the Night Market. Get 'em while they're hot! outrider-creative.itch.io

My preferred way to role play an angry dumb monster like a troll, is not to have them act confused and blundering, but to have them be very confidently wrong and easily offended if someone suggests otherwise. The absolute peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I noticed you across the bar 🫦 and I think you draw far too much attention to yourself, Mr. Underhill 😠

Hmu if you're interested in a developmental edit of your game (pending scope). I've only done it for my games and my friends but I'd love to get a few credits under my belt.

In tonight’s Perils & Princesses game, the party made a mushroom amuse-bouche for a hungry bridge troll, tussled with animated brambles, and healed a raccoon bite on the frog king’s tongue to avoid the ire of a hedge witch. (Recap in honor of @scenefour.bsky.social who joined our family game night)

Got a big medieval unicorn tattoo on my arm and I feel incredibly cool. I love it.

Number one on itch in physical games today! Go preorder the zine at bit.ly/4mYGFx0 and send me a copy of your confirmation email for your download key!

The creators of TMNT Shredders Revenge should make a K Pop Demon Hunters beat-em-up game. 3 different fighting styles. Outfit upgrades. Slashing demons on all the different stages. Incredible music. Picking up Kimbop and Ramyun as heath. I would flip out.

Started off my day with some K Pop Demon doodles. What cool characters and such a beautiful fun K-Popera. Drawing the main trio made me realize what killer character designs they are. So well coordinated but also unique to the personalities.

Another reason AI is dumb is that it's SO isolating. Don't ask the bad idea machine for help, find a friend with different experiences who has a brain that works differently than yours and make something together.

I’m so hyped on this lettering and cover art for the next Perils & Princesses adventure. I just have to share another in-progress image. This one is going to be so fun to illustrate.

Ryan how do you finish all those projects and have time for your family? My secret? My house is a mess and not at all organized. My yard is wild. My car is full of junk, That’s how. Out here doing the bare minimum housework so I can focus on cuddling and drawing pictures.

Doing the Dragon-y lettering for the next Perils & Princesses adventure is so much fun.
