Sharing, not necessarily for mork borg (maybe some people don’t know the game for which we designed Feast For A Sphinx), but to encourage RPG review channels. If you do reviews vids yourself you can post your own link below. 😊

what's up chat, the momo25 project I contributed to is in its last 12ish hours so if you want to get in on that buisness, hop on quick www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Flatline on the Blocks only has ~16 hours left! We've unlocked loads of stretch goals and now the core bundle has a VAST amount of stuff in there. Time to explore this weird, wild district of the Dream. #TTRPG @mothership.bsky.social Check it out: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Final countdown for The Saintly Hollows kickstarter. We've secured EU- and UK-friendly shipping, and all stretch goals are unlocked. Come for the stolen moon, stay for the cursed swords and behemoth knight machine. #osr www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

if you know me, you know how much I respect @tonytranrpg.bsky.social’s work. I love seeing this! awesome exciting @glyphtide.games can’t wait to check it out

Some of the best advice I ever heard was from @silviamg.bsky.social who said that you shouldn't set goals that require other people to do what you want. You can write a book. That's a goal. You can't control whether anyone buys it. Other people have free will.

Sometimes creating a self-imposed deadline helps you finish your new project to run a playtest at #PAXU.

Let's make it official: SHELVED BY GENRE's next unit, spanning ALL of 2026, will be a delve into the depths of modern genre with J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and THE SILMARILLION. If you don't have those, you can grab them through our Bookshop: bookshop.org/lists/shelve...

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

📰 NEW MINDSTORM POST! 📰 I've thought a lot about what makes good worldbuilding, and the most consistent throughline seems to come down to one thing: being an absolute sicko about it. Here's a post about it, including some interviews from other designers. www.mindstormpress.com/sicko-worldb...

I love puzzle dungeons! itch.io/jam/puzzle-d...

Hey! Lovely Jade Necropolis is the #36 bestseller on @drivethrurpg.com right now, thank you all for a great launch weekend! #shadowdark #cairn #osr #ttrpg www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The Better Legends RPG Preference Matrix has been making the rounds in some parts, so I thought it would be a fun lense to use to discuss Play Style Preferences. I'd love to see where everyone else falls in the various categories. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/playstyle-pr...

The Junk City map will be my magnum opus.

If you are going to PAX Unplugged and you want to meet up, let me know. I am planning to play games and do some playtesting but otherwise should be around. #paxu #paxunplugged

We finished mythic bastionland tonight. The Snare Knight @naeolin.bsky.social , Magpie Knight @rrookstudio.bsky.social , and Leaf Knight (Dan!) used a pack of wolves and other animals plus mental trickery to yell The Sun back into the sky to become the winter sun again. #osr

Sabre Games in a FLGS in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. We carry a wide selection of indie and OSR #ttrpg titles and are always happy to help promote smaller creators. #dnd #osr #indiegames www.sabregamesandcards.com/products?Cat...

Practicing drawing dragons for the next Perils & Princesses TTRPG adventure, and I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. I have to admit: drawing dragons is so hard for me. Four legs, plus wings is just too many appendages!

spent the night drawing and getting ready for the mythic bastionland campaign grand finale as schedule issues will ruin the pacing otherwise. The Sun Myth has gotta be set somehow.

New art asset pack for October! A set of stained glass illustrations available in both raster and vector. oddsandents.itch.io/stained-glas... Timecode: 10:17 pm EDT

T minus 10! We have a lot to do by November 3rd, when we will be launching the 3rd edition of our best-known #ttrpg, the one that started #PBTA. If you know or have heard of #ApocalypseWorld, check out #AW3RD ! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

On today's Between Two Cairns we review Serpent's Sanctum by @undelved.bsky.social. 🐍 Content warning: This episode contains more manic podcast chit-chat than other episodes (maybe). www.patreon.com/posts/141433...

big news!

this whole series has been so good

What I'm trying to say is that this shit doesn't happen in a vacuum. I had a lot of help! Anyway here's the adventure: yochaigal.itch.io/the-feast-of...

All this would not be possible without them. But I am also indebted to my friends @weirdwonder.bsky.social (who died while playtesting this adventure, along with @naeolin.bsky.social) and @josephrlewis.bsky.social, who provided great feedback, among others.

And I am very lucky to know some folks that don't suck at those things! I hired @wuggy.bsky.social illustrated it, @adamhensley.bsky.social to do layout, @naeolin.bsky.social to do developmental editing, and @jkrausz.bsky.social did copyediting.

As you can see, anyone can do this sort of thing. All it takes is a bit of inspiration and playtesting! But that isn't enough to bring an adventure to life. You also need HELP. If you're like me, you suck at art and layout and spelling words good.

It started as an attempt to "show off" the tools in the Warden's Guide, so folks will understand how I write adventures, so they can do it, too. I wrote a blogpost describing my thought process, and developed the adventure in a very public way. newschoolrevolution.com/lets-make-a-...

I recently published an adventure for Cairn 2e, and I'd like to talk about the development process a bit, it folks will indulge me.

Near finished cover I think. Just needs the Panic Engine logo. But this is a nice reveal of the new Ruination Pilgrimage title logo done by @alderdoodle.bsky.social.

gamefound.com/en/projects/... Oh, right, this goes live today. I should probably say something.

Let’s go! Love seeing more Cairn with @spacepenguinink.bsky.social
