Ratty is the terminal equivalent of schizophrenic indie games dwelling in the dark corners of Steam. Pure nightmare fuel. ratty-term.org #linux #terminal #nightmare

Jake@Linux fired up a forum recently. I enjoyed his Void Linux videos a great deal. He knows his shit, it's worth checking out. forum.jpedmedia.com #linux #voidlinux

My favourite thing about Silverblue is its name. It sounds like a Pokémon game. #linux #fedora

The last time WH40K lore was any good was when Ian Watson was contributing to it. Farewell. #warhammer40k #grimdark

It's good to see my country getting its shit together finally. #hungary #elections

I've spent a significant amount of my Sunday hunting for a Pikachu in Pokémon X at my son's request, which reminded me: where is the sequel to Detective Pikachu? I don't even mind if Pikachu isn't a detective, I would watch it if it were Cashier Pikachu or Urologist Pikachu too. #pokemon #pikachu

If you are looking for a fantastic hex crawl on the Moon, look no further. #rpg #osr #moon

The Trudvang Kickstarter is nearing 600K euros and introduced a new pledge level, that includes the four rulebooks and some extras (screen, crads, dice). Time to upgrade my pledge I guess. Of course my SSD also chose this day to die... #dragonbane #trudvang #rpg #kickstarter

The rewards for Arduin's Portal to Adventure kickstarter arrived. I don't remember back scratchers being among the stretch goals. Thank you, Emperor's Choice! #arduin #osr #rpg #bunny

If you are into sword & sorcery and aren't reading Savage Realms Monthly, it's about time to do something with about it. Here is a short review for the November 2025 issue. #magazine #swordandsorcery

First mini of 2026 that isn't a leftover is a @bequestminiatures.bsky.social adventurer. #miniatures #oldhammer #warhammer #rpg

After many years of teasing it seems the time has come to start saving for the new HackMaster. #rpg #hackmaster

Want to know what to expect from BRP: Creatures? Exactly what it promises, nothing less, maybe a tiny bit more. Which is why I like it. vorpalmace.github.io/brp-creatres... @chaosium.bsky.social #chaosium #rpg #brp

BRP Creatures has arrived. I'm still in the middle of reading it cover to cover, but so far it's a pleasant surprise. @chaosium.bsky.social #chaosium #brp #rpg

Better late than never, here is my Cauldron Con 2025 report: vorpalmace.github.io/cauldron-con... #rpg #rpgcon #cauldroncon

Bored of bland and uninspiring modern fantasy book covers? Buy some fucking sword & sorcery. #swordandsorcery #books

I did the Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology just for shits and giggles. The result is unsurprising and pretty much mirrors my approach to playing tabletop rpgs too. #mmorp #mud #rpg #bartle

Yesterday I started reading Christopher Buehlman's The Blacktongue Thief. It's been a while since I found a book I couldn't put down. It's lean, mean, hilarious. Reminds me the first time I've read William King's Trollslayer.

Trent Smith's Brink of Calamity is Deal of the Day on DriveThruRPG. If you have been waiting for a good oppurtinity to buy it like me, now is the time! His Heroic Legendarium is one of the most epic AD&D supplements out there, so my expectations are high.

The first review on my new blog is now online - and it's about HackMaster, the best tabletop rpg ever. vorpalmace.github.io/hackmater-re...

This month's investments.

I finished reading Abraham Merritt's Ship of Ishtar on my way to work this morning. What a bittersweet way to start the day.

Runequest: Roleplaying in Mythic Iceland would have been a more appropriate title.

As I mentioned not so long ago, friend and I received Drakborgen for Dragonbane a week or two ago and decided to give it a shot. Here is the session report. vorpalmace.github.io/a-night-in-d...

It's refreshing to finally play a game I'm invested in instead of running it. Yesterday one of my friends ran a session of Dragonbane in Drakborgen. I'll post tomorrow about our jolly little excursion.

Proud to be the 556th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for OSRIC 3! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Got fed up with blogger and decided to move on to GitHub Pages. Expect the first proper post soon at vorpalmace.github.io.

Christmas has officially begun. I have already given up on putting the new HarnMaster Kethira rulebook under the tree, but it seems couriers are capable of miracles too. Or maybe I had a point of Grace left... #rpg #harnmaster

Dark Tower has finally arrived, causing immense joy, sorrow, and backpain too. I wish I could drop Jennell a message to gush about this remaster.

First mini in months: renegade ogre pit fighter by Knightmare Miniatures, with one of the best sculpted buttcracks I've ever seen.

My beloved Bori unleashed our second scion Diana upon this world on the 28th of January, at 21:00. She is pretty buff for a girl with her 4060 grams and 53 centimeters. Fingers crossed she will sleep better than her big brother.

Four levels in I'm already fed up with the Quake II remaster's new episode. Dull linear level design, no verticality, overcrowded tight rooms, gimmicky encounters... It isn't hard, just annoying, tedious, uninteresting, and it doesn't fit the tone of the original.

A belated but welcome Christmas gift.

To celebrate Christmas I finally finished the extremely belated third session report of our Death's Dark Shadow + WFRP homebrew adventures. vorpalmace.blogspot.com/2023/12/sess...

Nothing puts me more in the Holiday mood like having time to finish Quake on Nightmare difficulty.

Lost one point of wisdom today. Pulling the teeth out finally was a smart decision though, so I guess I also gained one point of intelligence.

Tonight's guilty pleasure is Shin Kamen Rider. It feels like pushing an entire season of tokusatsu into two hours. It would benefit from more character building and it's weird that the early over the top brutality disappears midway, but otherwise it's tons of fun and well worth watching.

Two weeks ago I finally got a copy of Better Than Any Man at Cauldron Con. Even got it signed by James Raggi. In hindsight, I should have bought more stuff. Maybe next year.

Deam of savage barbarians, scantily clad enchantresses, and antediluvian snake gods, little one.

I still can't decide what's more inspiring in Prague for a grimdark fantasy rpg campaign: its old buildings, its creepy puppet stores, or the weird guys on the old tram?

Hello World! Let's start by sharing my review of the new Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine rulebook.
