We're finally doing the awards livestream for the Appx N Jam this Monday at 8pm est! Stop by to hear about the big winners of the contest and a bunch of amazing honorable mentions! #osr #rpg #itchjam youtube.com/live/L8M8k-U...

I don't get much time to make art, so I doodle whenever I get the chance. Here are some ideas that might become pastel paintings in the future.

Sorry, everyone. They are going to have to delay the release of Hades 2. I'm not done with Silksong yet.

I needed to flesh out the character from the previous image.

Got the pastels out for something that has been in my head for a while and part of a science-fantasy setting I'm working on.

Gin & tonic & game design tonight.

My need to paint minis is only exceeded by my disinterest in grimdark and generic fantasy.

Time to dust off this oldie but a goodie:

At this point, I'm almost exclusively using Bluesky to collect artists like pokemon I can summon for future projects.

We've released episode 2 of The Smiling Fox, an unofficial Mythic Bastionland podcast. This episode is all about prep. Available wherever you get your podcasts, and also right here 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=veBt...

I sincerely apologize to future me for not making any progress for the next who-knows-how-long.

Why do all the high fantasy dwarves need to have a Scottish accent? Feel like some of them could be Afrikaans or whatever.

Join this jam! Make space stuff!

I fell hard for Mythic Bastionland this summer. Here's exactly how I prepped and ran it (plus a pile of resources). If you're asking "where do I start?", this is for you: elmc.at/running-myth...

First session of Mythic Bastionland was killer! Literaly. The Snare Knight was slain. But everyone had a great time. All 3 players were new to RPGs and got into the game real fast. Did they only move 3 hexes? Yes. Did they get wildly distracted? Yes. Do they want to do it again? Also, yes!

The worst thing about earphones is earwax. When will science solve this problem?

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

An actual quote from someone I know while trying to come up with something creative, "Wait, why do we have to use our brains? Let's ask ChatGPT." I called them out, and they were shocked by what they said. My fear is what reliance on these systems will do to people.

Myth idea: The Raider Basically Ragnar Lodbrok and a longship full of vikings terrorising the realm.

The Mythic Bastionland contents page perfectly illustrates my ideal rpg book. Just over 10 pages with all the rules you need to play the game. Over 100 pages of instantly playable and extremely flavourful substance. And as a bonus, an ample section with valuable guidance, commentary, and examples.

Final scores are in! That's crazy. Thanks everyone who voted!

A lot of really nice people have said some really nice things about my adventure. I am blown away by the response. itch.io/jam/appx-n-j...

This is now required reading.

What are 4 albums that would serve as an introduction to your musical taste? This is tricky because tastes aren't static, but heres what mine at at this very moment.

I went back to the drawing board for my Mythic Bastionland hex tiles. I am making tiles directly from the spark tables. 12 land character tiles and 12 water tone tiles so far. Which will then be modified with 12 landscape and 12 texture tiles respectively.

Posted a brief update about the future of DD/HS on itch. Big things are happening at the edge of space. robotic-topologist.itch.io/ddhs-playtes...

I have finally organised my first game of Mythic Bastionland in 2 weeks' time. I'll be running the game for mostly new rpg players, which is always great fun as a referee. I think the subject matter and style of play would make for a great introductory game.

14. The Five Fates of Estra Zo by @eucatastrophic.itch.io Holy hell! This module for Cairn was pure poetry, both literally & figuratively ✍ This castle crawl is both tragic & deadly, with a masterful use of theme by having 5 separate encounter tracks, 1 for each of Estra's doomed Fates

Flashback to a few years ago when I made a lot of pixel fan art for Morrowind.

Fuck the Ennies! No hype, no fanfare, no award shows, no spell checking, no nothing. I didn't even grab pictures for this post yet. Just the Ramanan Sivaranjan Awards for Excellence in Gaming 2025.

I love everything about this! youtu.be/ZwXBbUhyiPQ?...

Hello new followers from Appx. N Jam! My name is Jason, and I make games and sometimes art. You can find my games here eucatastrophic.itch.io My greatest hits: STAR DURF is a scifi conversion of DURF. Downrooted is a huge forest adventure for Cairn. Nihilation is a post-doomsday solo rpg.

My twitter is dead. I don’t wanna a burner. All I want is 27K bluski subs

Something I need (and am attempting) is for TTRPGs to figure out how to make spaceship combat not suck. Name me a system where you don't just ignore or hand-wave the space combat rules. It's frustrating!

Built a little tool for Mythic Bastionland mythicbastionland.a-dark-place.io Referee tools: roll tables, sparks, knights, warbands, NPCs, and squires. Quick to use, easy to share.

That Vaults of Vaarn is really something special. Go back it now. This is your final warning.

This is truly an unbelievable milestone. I am grateful that so many people have been interested in my games and adventures. Over half those downloads are for STAR DURF, which motivates me even more to release my sci-fi game.

Anyone playing STRAFTAT? This game is dumb. I love it!

My Appx. N Jam submission is done! Sneak, fight, or talk your way through a castle in dire straits. Stop a curse before it gets out of hand. Deal with desperate factions out for themselves. Or die trying! eucatastrophic.itch.io/the-five-fat... #cairn #ttrpg #osr
