I just had a great TTRPG idea! Time to push aside my current project and unhealthily obsess over this idea for the next week. Will I finish it or will it be thrown to the backlog? Stay tuned to find out!

Life has been... busy, and I forgot to celebrate Downrooted hitting 70% funded!!! Nearly there folks! With your help we can reach 100%!!! eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted

I should do more pixel art.

I am floored by the work done in the Quake Brutalist Jam III! Just look at some of these! In an almost 30 year old game.

My novella Kill All Wizards will be set loose in June. It's a little Jane Austen and a whole lotta bloody barbaric vengeance. If you like Conan, The Count of Monte Cristo, highly opinionated narrators, or old-school adventure, then this is the book for you. thirdarchive.net#killallwizards

It’s Bloggies Time! This is a thread of what I’m nominating, so you can, if you choose, read them and nominate them yourself! Firstly, please nominate something of mine that made an impact on you — a series like Critique Navidad or a single post like my Module-Writing Play by Play! Thanks! 1/🧵

Happy New Year, Bsky peeps! The biggest thing I want to improve this year is my art. What with all that's going on, I need to focus on traditional mediums. I fell in love with pastels again, and I want to do a lot more with them. I have a setting zine that I want filled entirely with pastel art.

How about another dungeon map for your consideration? eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted #Cairn #osr #ttrpg #dungeon #map

My Steam backlog has been increased to 24. Mark my words I will play them all by next year's end!

I only have a few things I'd like to make or get going next year. Chief amongst them is the release of Downrooted. Other than that, I have a sci-fantasy setting, a Cairn horror supplement, and a space game in the cooker. I would also like to participate in some jams, namely the Cairn and DURF jams.

Thanks to everyone who contributed recently, we have passed the 60% mark!

Remember when TV writers went on strike back in '07 and producers thought that they could write and film episodes in their absence, and then we got really shit TV a year or so later? That's what "AI" will do to every creative industry.

Here is a map of one of the new dungeons that you can delve in the final version of Downrooted! If that is something that sounds cool to you, then make it happen be contributing to the funding! eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted

Deleted the last post. Can someone explain to me why all the images I upload to Bsky are black?

With funding passing the 50% mark (thank you), I have put together a short overview of the major and minor changes that will be coming to the final version of Downrooted! eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted/d... #OSR #Cairn #TTRPG

Nothing comes close to Tiberian Sun's vibe. Not even the later games could replicate it. There is something so alluring about its world, tone, and designs. I wish to explore this world that EA abandoned, but do I make an unlicensed product or a clone with the serial numbers filed off?

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

They stole the void glass blade! But also got 3 of the party killed and left tower in utter chaos. A job well done.

Today is game day, and I'll be running The Electrum Archive for my Ur group. They'll be staging a heist in THE TOWER OF TURSAR SETTRU within Titan Port.

New blog post!

I just published a new blog post! What if surviving Cairn monsters as a form a character progression? Fighting monsters should make you weirder! eucatastrophic.itch.io/blog/devlog/... #ttrpg #cairn #osr #blog

46%! Nearly halfway! That much closer to 100%

Where do you keep your zines? How do you display them? Seems a shame to just stack them in a pile. For most of my TTRPG life, I've been exclusively using PDFs to play games. Now that I've gotten a few physical games and zines, I don't know what to do with them.

46%! Nearly halfway! That much closer to 100%

Finished my game for #PROCJAM 2025! Last Voyage of the Tartarus is a procedural narrative horror game. It looks like a roguelike, but the real game is watching the captain's log and seeing how the story responds to what you see and do. #Gamedev #pixelart siofragames.itch.io/last-voyage-...

It's Creator Day over on Itch, which means they don't get a cut of what you buy! I have 2 games on sale that may interest you! eucatastrophic.itch.io/nihilation A post-doomsday solo RPG about fighting entropy eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted A forest depthcrawl for Cairn currently funding #TTRPG

Can't escape doing something for Block Friday! itch.io/s/170726/blo...

40% funded! Let's do this!

In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press. If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people. My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.

I am running a session for players who are new to #OSR games, and TTRPGs in general. I recorded a brief primer - and figured it might be useful to others, as well! youtu.be/x_UH7fKFfXw

First dungeon for Goblin Adventure! Is up on itch now. I’ve drawn up and keyed the dungeon I ran for my daughter the other night. Go into a cave full of environmental obstacles and spiders to retrieve a crystal for your coming-of-age ceremony! #TTRPG #OSR catshavenolord.itch.io/crystal-cave...

All right which one of you mentioned The Five Fates? Why is it in the top 5 physical games on Itch? Who did it? Fess up! eucatastrophic.itch.io/the-five-fat...

What is Downrooted about? It is ostensibly about exploring a dark magical forest. Players will push their luck and go deeper to find greater rewards, and greater dangers. By using a simple depthcrawl system, each excursion is unique. Will you reach the heart of the forest? How deep will you go?

Top 4 now! What is happening? eucatastrophic.itch.io/the-five-fat...

I'm happy to report that @drivethrurpg.com have added Cairn as a filter (under Old School Revival). Thanks much for that! If you've made something for Cairn, be sure to update the tag there under "Edit Title Listing." Thanks again everyone.

I've read a small amount of this depthcrawl and it's really, really good. Jason is writing something that's interesting, unusual, and smart. If you're a Cairn or other OSR player, I encourage you to check out the Itchfunding campaign - it's great now, and it's only going to get better.
