In my Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign, took inspiration from the bear in the Annihilation movie and had the Vine Blights ( a random encounter) react to the players with the last words and voices of their victims but in a raspy approximation

Latest dev diary for The Wine Dark Sea that focuses on how I create backgrounds medium.com/@joe_93027/t...

This was an instant back for me

I just posted another deep dive on the Bite the Hand BackerKit page! It's all about how I've incorporated Stress and Panic into the game. Give it a read, and consider backing if you haven't already! We're just under 60% funded, and could really use your help! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Working on a dev diary article on how I make backgrounds for The Wine Dark Sea and handed off the document for the starter rules for The Wine Dark Sea to the designer. Now on to the dreaded budget for the upcoming Kickstarter

Finished with this batch of Death Guard, tried something with the bases to make it look like blue slime but not super happy with it

“I Don’t Belong Here” by @adamstation.bsky.social and company has just arrived and super excited to read it

I have come to realize that the Horus Heresy novels are my soap operas.

At the point in making my TTRPG where I am worrying if I have playtested enough. I am doing play tests but have some anxiety that I may be missing something

CROWDFUNDING NOW! Bite the Hand is a cyberpunk TTRPG using Mothership’s Panic Engine to bring a touch of horror to the genre. With dozens of cybernetics and items, the core rulebook contains everything you’ll need to experience tense action at your tables! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

New Zealand pollen is no joke, my allergies went a bit wild. Had a wonderful time but was sneezing most of the time

If you've ever dreamed of making your own TTRPG from scratch, I just published a new article on the blog about this exact subject. I was asked by someone here on bluesky and figured this could be helpful to more folks so enjoy! farirpgs.com/posts/how-to...

This will be an instant back for me

LAUNCHING IN T-MINUS 10... www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Today, Leanne and I were talking about things you have to declare in NZ. One of them is sports equipment and Leanne said, “So the Magic cards we brought count, since it is a sport.” The funniest thing I have heard in a long while

For The Wine Dark Sea, I wanted a background that had a necromantic feel so first I thought about a background where you died and came back as you arrived in the Wine Dark. It felt odd since a background in the game is what you did before arriving. I pulled some inspiration from the Ancillary books

Books for my trip to New Zealand, looking forward to Absolution by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and Prismatic Wisdom

I love this community

Working on a stretch goal background for The Wine Dark Sea. It is an homage to the Bene Gesserit The Acolyte travels the galaxy teaching their beliefs to an unbelieving universe. One of their many duties is to enact the will of their faith in the temporal world through spycraft and violence

Just 4 days until THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER THE WYCCE hits Kickstarter. Are you ready for the executioner's axe to fall? Art by the brilliant Boyan Kazalov! Follow the DOOMSONG TTRPG on Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cae...

Slap chopping my rhino and I am happy with the Nurgle like results since it will match the armor of my already painted dudes. I have not invested in an airbrush but am thinking about it

toying with the idea of a new background where the character is someone who hunts down escaped consciousnesses be they from digital hells, cognitive confinement stations, to intelligences that jump from body to body (organic or otherwise) The name could be either The Warden or The Pursuer

Second part of basing where you cover the sand you put on with watered down PVA glue. Next is painting the edge of the base….still toying with goblin green

Updated the background, “The Changed” to “The Occultist” to reflect the vibe of the background and to give the player some cues. Also it lets me add this to their equipment Research Journal, which has the Truth, Scattered Esoterica: +1d3 successes on checks involving research on Adversaries

This looks like such a cool conference

This batch of Nurgle dudes is almost done, just need to base. Want to try a mix of shiny and matte on my converted Daemon Prince. This is the bulk of my army

Best line of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign so far. Said while planning on going after the pirate vessel. “So we just put a magic shield around the book and light the ship on fire”

Rewording the Scion’s boon Willing Retainers to be that they summon the shades of long dead retainers that they sacrifice for better dice rolls. The current is that they summon living ones which is a bit much narratively

Inking of Death Guard models is done, used dark ink for the pox walkers and chaos spawn and dark green ink for the Death Guard. Now to varnish and paint the bases Then the other parts of the army that are unassembled.

Just backed this and excited

More Warhammer 40k Death Guard army painting progress

“Paint the Town Red” by @soulmuppet.co.uk arrived today and the book looks absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to read it.

So I think that based on my research as a new TTRPG creator that I will be using Kickstarter.

Some feed back I received about Doom for “the Wine Dark Sea” was to have some premade Dooms. Below is my first attempt (milestones 1-6 as replies) Doom: Unnatural Hunger

This is a book for the game, Heart: The City Beneath, which is one of my favorite games. It is wonderful and strange in the coolest ways. So if you don’t own Heart: The City Beneath pick it up and this book as well, you won’t go wrong

Happy to send pdf copies of the current iteration of “The Wine Dark Sea” which is fully laid out with art work for review, interviews, and or live plays. Contact me via DM if interested

Starting work on the budget for the upcoming The Wine Dark Sea TTRPG Kickstarter

Testing a mechanic change, changing the lower bound of a success from a 3 to a 4. So now the mechanic is d6s from your pool, require 4, 5, 6 to succeed with 6s still exploding. Also looking at doing a tuning pass on dark gifts and truths

More progress on my Death Guard army. Adding in the metallic colors and colors for the cloaks

Had a great time playing with the folks from @spellbookgaming.bsky.social

Started the larger edits yesterday and had a play test where I changed the target number for a success to be a 4 instead of a 3 with rough results. So looking at the plotted statistics and thinking. I am leaning towards the change

Looking forward to this

This looks cool and will be backing it

I am hyped

More progress on my Death Guard army, had to add extra white drybrush to make the bone color stand out

Just finished recording with @spellbookgaming.bsky.social. We just did one for an upcoming game called the "Wine Dark Sea" from @jblovecrafty.bsky.social Really fun game. I probably shouldn't say too much, but the Doom/Destiny System and the setting are phenomenal. Look forward to its release.

Found a store in Cork that sells Tomatillos and other items from Mexico. Going to make some salsa, super excited
