one of the most exciting parts of the seven-part pact release for me is the highest tier, which will (amongst all the other gubbins available for the campaign) feature a very special object ... a hand-illuminated, hand-painted limited print of the Orrery done by jennifer dragon, my real-life mom

Calling RPG Bloggers! Participate in the Orpheus Blog Bandwagon between July 17th and 24th: tree-climber.blogspot.com/2026/07/band...

This was a good post! It got me thinking, and then got me typing, and now my blog has a new post about Activation Energy, using chemistry as an analogy for play, and musing about how we can be intentional about getting games to the table. Enjoy! seraphim-seraphina.itch.io/my-blog/devl...

There were a whopping 80 blog posts for the latest Random Blogwagon! I round them all up into a rollable table here: #osr #ttrpg #blogwagon

For @prismaticwasteland.com's Random Blogwagon I decided to use Shadowdark's random tables to draft an adventure. I avoided using any other resources except for my noggin and came up with a pretty decent little adventure. This is my biggest post in terms of time, effort, and words. Pretty happy.

New Blogpost: Five methods for dealing with repeated results on random tables #osr #ttrpg #blogwagon

I've written a new essay about my experience opening my copy of City of Six Moons, designed by @amabel.bsky.social, and the emotions it inspired in me. It's a strange and beautiful game, which more than earned the reaction it provoked from me. Enjoy! seraphim-seraphina.itch.io/my-blog/devl...

In the 10th session of our B1 campaign, the party launches a counterattack into orc territory. Can they overcome the orcs? With the goblins' leader killed, which of the goblins will earn glory ahead of the upcoming Goblins' Moot? Read to find out! #TTRPG #D&D #AD&D #OSR

Trespasser's remake is OUT! A revamp of the 2022 original from the original Breathless Jam, revised following the kickstarter.

I wrote about AD&D's most expensive & irritating NPC - the sage. Although it is said that the Brotherhood of Sages is an informal organization, their universal demands of lifetime employment, generous salaries & benefits, &, of course, plenty of books leaves one to wonder... #TTRPG #D&D #AD&D #OSR

Wake up, babe. New blogpost from my Indonesian friend, Habeeb (who wrote "the default dungeon is colonial"). This one is about about touching heavy topics/themes in your TTRPG world. beeboobubie.substack.com/p/is-it-okay...

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

Attention all bloggers: a new blog bandwagon appears! This time the topic is randomness in all its forms. The post includes some random tables to further randomize your ensuing post #osr #ttrpg

Anti-colonial TTRPG Map. Part of @prismaticwasteland.com's Maps Blogwagon. In this blogpost, I analyzed a pre-colonial Indonesian map and use it as reference on how I would make an Anti-colonial TTRPG Map. afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/anti-colonia... #ttrpg #osr

A new post, on sunday, at noon o'clock, appreciating my favorite map? It's more likely than you think! If you like fantasy, I PROMISE YOU that something about this map will grab you and shake out at least one adventure idea. That's a money back guarantee. www.mindstormpress.com/my-favorite-...

New Blogpost: Play Is Canon What are the sources of "truth" about the world of your tabletop setting? For me, the paramount truth derives from play itself. This is my synthesis of blorb and anti-canon. #osr #ttrpg

I am waiting to hear European condemnations of this genocidal statement. I expect to be disappointed... Perhaps the German Chancellor will once again say that the time for discussing international law is not now...

New blog post that attempts to span all types of challenge-oriented games, rather than just talking RPGs like I normally do. But there's plenty of RPG stuff in here, too. Discussion questions included at the end. knightattheopera.blogspot.com/2026/04/how-...

This week I put on my witch hat to take advantage of geometric mage progression. Episode 6 of Rose Playing Games is out!

The first in a series describing how I developed my B1 sandbox (& how you might develop sandboxes more generally) for play, beyond the initial minimalist sketches of locations. First, I describe how you might determine the order of operations by which you'll detail each location in the area of play.

Playtesting @69dinguses.bsky.social's Honeybee RPG was absolutely magical ~ One of the most unique tabletop experiences I've had floating in such a small package, and as a nature lover soaking up the beginning of spring it simply hit different

Couldn't be happier with the first test session of the honeybee RPG I started writing back in November! There's a lot of room for growth but that's half of the fun. tbr.bearblog.dev/honeybee-rpg...
