Me fighting the urge to write about politics on my elfgames blog

A roundup of the biggest blog bandwagon ever: over 69 different bloggers wrote about their Appendices N and I collected and categorized them all for you #osr #ttrpg

Good news! We helped Ken get his phone repaired, and he was able to contact family. He’s on his way to them and will have a place to stay and access to a vehicle to get to work. He’ll still need to replace his clothes and find an apartment, so any help would be appreciated!

CW: domestic violence Hey folks, I’m visiting family, and we’re helping a neighbor escape an abusive relationship. Please pitch in if you can and please give this a signal boost! I’m mostly RPG-focused on here, but I’m not on any other social media and this is very important gofund.me/ba07656c3

Sometimes spontaneous posts end up being some of the best: dododecahedron.blog/2025/09/10/c... #osr #rpg

Redux of an old post of mine that was borderline unreadable, but which had a nugget of wisdom worth salvaging. There are two totally different types of hexcrawl and nobody else seems to have pointed this out before. knightattheopera.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-...

A new month means a new issue of Carouse, Carouse! Shake off the vacation drowsiness with a chill blast of autumn air and some gaming highlights from around the #OSR blogosphere! www.carouse.blog/september-20...

ongoing fascination with dinosauring up modern birds ... dino Chickadee (I know birds are already dinos... I just like adding more -saur) #chickadee #dinosaurart #mixedmedia

Just wrote a short post on castaway origins in Castle Kelpsprot, my capsule game megadungeon: dododecahedron.blog/2025/08/26/k...

“When the tour guide is a tourist themselves, you know you’re fucked.”

Today I blog about the demands of sentient weapons. They are no mere bastard sword, 50' of rope, or thuggish crowbar! They have needs you must meet or else they won't help 😡 icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/08/down...

From the occupied state of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about the design goals of combat! Combat as War? Combat as Sport? More like Combat as My Balls, am I right? magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2025/08/comb...

I just finished coloring this one. I like it for a cover or poster. Recreating a 3 color #risograph or #screenprint . #ttrpg #art #drawing #dnd #osr

today i released something of a redux update for one of my favorite modules i've written, 5 A.M. PANIC! i tweaked the layout, restructured the text, and replaced the initial AI cover art with a killer bespoke piece from @vespercene.bsky.social check it out! giantrobottackler.itch.io/five-am-panic

Hey everyone, look at this!! It's me pretending to be smart

Excited to share something more substantial for the megadungeon capsule game I’m working on: dododecahedron.blog/2025/08/18/c...

Tomorrow Tue Aug 12 -- 3d6 DTL charts a course for the Deep. #Mothership Sci-fi Horror #RPG: GRADIENT DESCENT. The new campaign from the most criminally under-watched #ActualPLay series on the internet. #OSR

Got Knock #5 in the mail today, and damn—it’s easily my favorite issue so far! So many fantastic touchstones and some killer art. I particularly like this piece by Marc Moureau #osr

This issue is packed! Don’t miss the pieces that were too long for the main post—links below [1/4] #osr

You love to see it! I’ve been wanting to do something similar—collect the posts that have influenced me the most into a sort of personal GM’s guide

You saw a bunch of blogs on Wednesday posting on many different subjects all tangentially related to the theme of “holes”. I roundup and summarize the 30+ posts on the topic for your convenience #osr #ttrpg

Grabbing onto the bumper of the blog bandwagon as it peels off and goes careening away into the night: dododecahedron.blog/2025/07/16/y...

From the team at CAROUSE, CAROUSE! A blog bandwagon special. Do you dare place your arm in the Arm Hole? 🫱🕳️ #osr #rpg #blog

After months of reading, playing, and debating RPGs the 2025 ENNIES nominees are here. ennie-awards.com/2025-nominees/ Congrats to this year’s nominees and the countless others who didn’t get nominated but were just as deserving. As always, there were more winners than seats this year.

Increase your wisdom score with The Explorateur, my rpg newsletter for designers, writers, and layout artists. This issue has some meaty reviews, a treasure trove of inspirational resources, and a pile of links you'll bookmark if you haven't already. www.explorersdesign.com/the-explorat...

I very much took the backseat for this issue, but the rest of the collective really delivered! So much fantastic stuff in this one

When you design obstacles or puzzles in a dungeon, you should pack the dungeon with multiple solutions. The weirder, more esoteric, and more flavorful—the better. www.explorersdesign.com/designing-lo...

Hey folks. I've created a Bluesky account to announce official Cairn RPG business and to answer questions. Also... to read @funkaoshi.com's OSR feed.

You might assume that the Portland business with the best playlist would be a trendy bar or restaurant, but you’d be wrong. It’s the local Ace Hardware. They were jamming out to Violent Femmes, Interpol, and Cocteau Twins today

🚨 Have you heard the good news? My best (both the ones you’ve seen and the hidden gems) posts are now in a beautifully laid out and full color print edition and you can buy it from me! #osr #ttrpg

You saw lots of blog posts about clerics and fantasy religion last week, but I have compiled them, summarized them, and organized them for your reading pleasure #osr #ttrpg

DOES THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU? You like blogs. Read 'em when you can. But blogheads move fast. They start saying words like "blorb" and "non-diegetic" and you think "What?" What if someone took the assembled wisdom of OSR blogs and added kickass art? GOOD NEWS! GET KNOCK! #5 WHILE YOU CAN

I just rounded up a whole bunch of recent blog posts for you and put them in nice little categories for your easy consumption #osr #trrpg prismaticweekly.substack.com/p/blog-round...
