I'm taking a look at Hexkit in an upcoming blog post, hopefully we can make something cool. Here's a freebie, just messing around (they're all freebies) cone.itch.io/hex-kit #osr #ttrpg #mapmaking #dnd #gaming #art #blogpost

Excellent spooky gnomes! Gnomes are omnivorous in the world of things under the bed #gnomes #spooky #Halloween #holiday #art

The gnome fortress of Gnorsh. They elect leaders with a voting system known as 'Gnomestones' #ttrpg #osr #worldbuilding #dnd #gnomes #politics

Turns out the bar was lower than I thought, but people still get mad when the gnomes duck. #limbo #gnomes

What do you think this is!? What's the big idea bub? Gnomeskulls and gnomerods! Gnomecompoops! Gnuckleheads! Anyway here's a new blogstones post. substack.com/@gnomestones... #ttrpg #dnd #writing #osr #gaming #worldbuilding #fantasy #jam #stones

We made it to the Crystal Island in @bradkerr.net ‘s The Singing Stones by Session 10. It’s abundantly clear that the adventure hinges on the magical axe’s role as the leader of an all-crystal barbershop quartet. The players also loved the woolly cave pigs. #ttrpg #dnd #osr #ose #barbershop

Listen if you share an unnuanced opinion, don’t be mad if I categorize it within the overarching framework.

incremental progress is hard let’s just play tower defense games from 2010 until this all blows over

My apologies to @bradkerr.net but Bitzinia from the adorable gnome couple in The Singing Stones was hit by a blood demon’s NAT20 and the crit table said her stomach ruptured and she failed to save and died in front of Belga and Michael the panther. Belga’s on an edgy vengeance arc now. #osr #ttrpg

Magic rocks!? Did someone say gnomestone? Good idea @wobblerocket.com www.wobblerocket.com/2025/09/01/s... #ttrpg #rpg #rpgblogcarnival #dnd #gaming #osr #nsr

Previously on Gnomestones plays @bradkerr.net’s The Singing Stones, our heroes encounter Otto at The Pale Ship. This time on Gnomestones, our heroes blaze a trail, evade the wyvern, and drink mountain berry wine. Next time on Gnomestones, blood bags attack the camp. #ttrpg #ose #osr #dnd #gaming

Ah my Valley of the Singing Stones game is about to grow past the original module arc into a regional homebrew campaign. Stress. Any brights ideas to put in the sandbox? We have rival sword orders and a city ruled by four and twenty guildmasters. #osr #ose #ttrpg #wyvernsongs #d&d #gaming

A great one for the shelf, Dudinack's is a sleeper hit and hilarious and Yaksha's brings in a whole different perspective

The Mythic Bastionland Jam has just started their voting period! We don’t know how long it goes, gnome votes are performed by tossing stones into rings after many days of gruff deliberations. This could be similar. itch.io/jam/mythic-b... #osr #ttrpg #gaming #jam #indie

Things we added to Ranger Otto from @bradkerr.net's The Singing Stones - call him Åtto (same pronunciation) - soft spot for the wyvern - Him and Pig Gristle go way back - sleeps with one eye open, eats midnight sausage Quotes: "The destination is what counts, the journey sucks" #ttrpg #osr #gaming

Legend of the Treasures of the Crazy Seawitch Pirate Queen reaches the epic conclusion. The crew of the SS Biscuit battles the Seaprince Barthkel’gnu for the fate of the elemental plane of water. #dnd #ttrpg #actualplay #gaming #5e #neveragain

Vaults of Vaarn is the rare futuristic game that makes me want to play, I love the design, especially the city factions and the 100 Things You Find In The Sand. Excited for more with 2e #ttrpg #osr #space

Last time on Legend of the Crazy Seawitch Pirate Queen, the crew of the SS biscuit defeated the wraithfleet on the lost sea. This time on LCSWPQ, the lost seas’s pocket dimension collapses under the elemental plane of water. Next time on LCSWPQ, the heroes battle the Deep One. #d&d #ttrpg #gaming

I wrote another review for my One Page Dungeon Classics series, this one from 2010. Squatters! has a colorful and layered history to make for an interesting dungeon with a lot of depth #OSR #TTRPG

Today’s #TTRPG opinions The phrase ‘lost the plot’ is thriving - probably because the world feels like season 8 of a show that jumped the shark I hate the phrase ‘just a weird little guy’ - why is this a thing? These days I’m high on board game domain play, and low on point crawls #osr #dnd
