We need more spell casting mini games www.explorersdesign.com/jackian-magic/

I found this classification really helpful. Thinking lots about story telling/problem solving games division lately. Adding two more axis did the trick for me samsorensen.blot.im/sams-three-q...

Late stage capitalism sucks for art. Is there a way out? I think so! coppershaman.com/selling-rpgs...

My favourite response to when players private message me about campaign stuff is "who could say?" (Me) (I won't say)

Soviet asteroid-launching station, cult controlled by a mental parasite and leaky nuclear reactors. Call the #FIST! coppershaman.com/zvezdochka-l...

*putting on my tech wizard hat* How on Earth does my website get 11k requests per month? According to analytics, there are like three visitors on a good day. Are all of these bots or do most folks just use adblocker (as they should) to block analytics? 🤔

Yochai going full-time writer and publisher should be headline news in TTRPG land! Cairn Press 🔥🔥🔥

Played with some shadows in the dark, had lots of fun coppershaman.com/play-report-...

This is eerie. I literally have “Boys Don’t Cry” in my pile of ideas for RPGs to make. I guess time to think of a new one!

Thinking a lot about an adventure idea for #FIST — soviet lunar artillery base throwing rocks at Earth Took a rough sketch, have some ideas for fun factions to throw there

if you think about it, a megadungeon is the ultimate walkable city

I’m a very happy boy, what can I say

I want RPGs on physical digital media like CDs with low FPS animations from 2000s

I'm back with another Play Style Preferences. Let us travel back to the early days of the OSR: before Shadowdark, OSE, or Cairn. Today's post focuses on the fabled OSR G+ campaigns and the lessons they have to teach us about building worlds. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/playstyle-pr...

Shadowdark’s white-on-black headings look cool, but it pains me to see so much ink waisted when I print them at home :(

Can we replace traditional stats (STR, DEX, INT, ...) with emotions? I certainly want to try! coppershaman.com/emotions-ins...

All aboard the #merryhexmas blogwagon by @prismaticwasteland.com! coppershaman.com/merry-hexmas...

OSWOR is available at Leisure Games! Everybody stay cool. Nikita, that includes you, goddamn it

Nerding out about my favourite fonts coppershaman.com/fonts-fonts-...

I'm running a playtest of OSWOR in two weeks at Iglootree London-based folks, assemble! iglootree.com/products/in-...

I highly recommend "Classic Explorer Template" by @explorersdesign.bsky.social This grid saved my sanity. It would take me forever to layout all of this myself Also, did you know that "Islands of Weirdhope" used this template as well? Pretty neat explorers.itch.io/classic-expl...

Stockholm Kartell's discord server has a channel called, roughly translated, Desirable Lifestyles. Here are some posts, and some lifestyles to aspire to.

Tbh I'm pretty screwed financially right now so if you wanted to buy or tell people about our stuff it would be very appreciated!

Huge thanks to @fistful.ink for doing my first ever print run! Logan was very helpful and answered all my newbie questions. In a world full of corporations it was nice speaking to a caring human

Having some fun with probabilities and Troika!'s initiative system coppershaman.com/one-million-...

First print of OSWOR is here! Grab it at @melsonian-arts-council.itch.io's table at Dragonmeet I also have a limited amount of copies to give away. Send me a DM with an address and I will post it to you 📯

Thoroughly enjoyed the art in this one torthevic.itch.io/friends-in-s...

DC Stow (of Maze Rats fame) did an amazing job on the cover of OSWOR Before starting the work, they made a couple of concept arts to capture the feel of Osworians. Here is lovely concept of a Cani airship pilot, looking dashing and feisty!

Somebody bought my thing 🥹 I didn’t even promote it anywhere yet. They just read the itch page and took the plunge I don’t know who you are friend, but you made my day

Seeing all the pax stuff

designing a mech for a religious cult whose devotees venerate the syncing of their pulses was very very exciting for me. fingers for feet, nail motifs abundant. angels are just demons that shine.

Spent the last two weeks working on this, missing deadlines and not answering messages---but this thing was in my mind like a psychic worm; I just had to get it out, you know? Process notes and extra thoughts here: slowlorispress.com/post/8005714... 2/

Also, makers of really nice notebooks Mossery is collaborating with artists to make special notebooks for Kuala Lumpur Artbook Fest. I'm one of artists. You can preorder them here if interested. (Malaysia only, I think?) mossery.my

Sending a game for printing feels similar to sending a kid on a first day of school “Are they alright? Did I forget to put anything in the backpack?”

I got immediately excited to introduce this into some campaign in the future :) dicegoblin.blog/diy-ancient-...

I think this replacement of Inspiration mechanic is pretty cool noisesanssignal.blogspot.com/2025/10/reso...

I came up with a new hobby: watch long cancelled series from 2000s and then be sad they are cancelled This time it’s the #Firefly. Send help, I don’t want my space cowboys to ever end

Preparing to run a small test print run of Oswor RPG in a week Editing last bits, working with the artist on the cover — the good stuff. A bit nervous 😅 DM me and I will post you a copy 📩

Less Cassette Futurism, more of this. Yes, I am currently reading another Culture novel. Paintings by John Berkey, John Harris, and Syd Mead

See you there folks!

Simply stunned by the art of Rinn. I'm not usually running Mausritter, but I definitely want to run this Also, appreciate that the backing tiers are clean and simple www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

My wallet screams in pain, my eyes shimmer with glee Backed this just now, what an amazing work

NEW BLOG BANDWAGON During this interregnum between High Halloween and Mighty Christmas, a call goes forth to all the world that bloggers shall band together to collectively create a hexcrawl across the blogosphere, themed around those hokey claymation Christmas specials of yore! #osr #rpg #hexmas

Sharing the process I used to come up with a Starter Package Table for my #IntoTheOdd hack coppershaman.com/making-start...

So evocative... Beautiful

TTRPG writers need a union x) How on earth am I going to price my RPG if TRESPASSER (with all its art!) is free, TEETH: False Kingdom (70 pages!) is free and Maze Rats is at $4.99 $15 for an RPG with little to no illustrations and $25 for an RPG with lots of illustrations should be minimum for PDF

Had a good chuckle reading this 10 year old (!) post www.bastionland.com/2015/08/into...

Blessed be the day of the Emperor's Landing. Blessed be the 300 years of his fair rule. Blessed be the Radiant Empire. coppershaman.com/grace-of-the...

Thoughts on scarcity in #ttrpg marketing and how recommendations could be a solution Very interested to hear your thoughts on this, folks. This topic was firmly stuck in my mind for the last month... coppershaman.com/scarcity-in-...
