Dragonfly Motel is a TTRPG about surrendering to surreal impulses and drifting through dream logic weirdness that almost makes sense. Then suddenly, absurd elements align and form something coherent and strangely satisfying. On Kickstarter now! PWYW for digital. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

One might say she was on multiple rolls.

We’re approaching 100 backers, and the digital level is Pledge What You Want. Just sayin’… www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Another interesting project by @thomas-munier.bsky.social and @blackfiskpub.bsky.social: "The Dragonly Motel"- a ttrpg about travelers lost in a surreal trap of dreamlike slices of life. It moves through prompts and free-form conversation. Take a look: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

We honestly didn’t know if anyone would back a TTRPG this strange, and though we're not in the clear yet, there are some good signs so far. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

This is the strangest TTRPG I've played so far, and I'm really excited to hopefully help bring it to a slightly wider audience!

@bradkerr.net and I have been up to no good again! Vampire Crabs, Huge Herons and... Exploding Ghouls? (Did I read that right?)

Prep a good plot.

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month. All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much. itch.io/s/179351/jan...

When I was studying design and copywriting, I was taught that ideas need names. If you can't name the idea, the idea isn't finished. I'm somewhat convinced the same might be true for game design and naming rules. If you can't name it—or the name feels wrong—maybe the rule isn't baked yet.

Five jobs I’ve had (but one is a lie): 1. Copywriter 2. Steelworker 3. Clothing store clerk 4. Bouncer 5. Sushi chef

Last year I read Heroes of Cerulea by @ceruleanfive.bsky.social The game is more or less an analogue TRPG emulation of early top-down Legend of Zelda games with the serials filed off and a simple 4D dicepool system in a neat NES/SNES-inspired visual packaging. #trpg #ttrpg #HeroesofCerulea 1:2

a delayed game is eventually good but a canceled game that never comes out and had cool promotional material will be good forever

Bovino is short. Miller looks like Nosferatu. Vance has babyface. Trump’s hair is weird. So what? Their looks are not the problem. Don’t confuse ridicule with accountability.

I haven't posted in a while.. Here's what I've been up to.

Couldn't resist joining a challenge, so I wrote a silly adventure. And it just happened to be Goblin Week! ceruleanfive.itch.io/goblins

Thank you for sharing my work. Thank you for sharing *anyone's* work. You don't have to do it and the fact that you do anyway means the world when everything and everyone seems to be aligning to try and shut us up.

I just updated my OSR heartbreaker with illustrations made by my father. It's a minimalistic tabletop role-playing game reimagining old-school play with player-facing rolls, mixed-result outcomes, and single-roll exchanges. ceruleanfive.itch.io/losr

Such a lovely game artifact. @rosscowman.bsky.social @heartofthedeernicorn.com

RTFM, the (an) RPG book club podcast, is back from hibernation. @snaxwell.bsky.social and I talk about This is Where the Stars Died by Scott Malthouse, "a non-linear narrative wargame." What does that mean? What's a war game? Am I supposed to be painting small men? open.spotify.com/episode/5ow2...

Dragonfly Motel is a tabletop role-playing game of dreams and mirages. You portray reckless travelers lost in a surreal trap of dreamlike slices of life, beginning in the titular Dragonfly Motel. On Kickstarter in February 2026. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

I’m a socialist, but I think Itch leans a bit too hard into anti-capitalist moralizing.

Preorder DOODLES BY NOHR now! Finally, my next artbook is available for preorder at pit trap shop .com! Doodles by Nohr is a 264-page collection of scribbly skeletons, monsters and medieval corpses-to-be hastily drawn when signing my big-ass artbook Art by Nohr. Expected to deliver in early March.

Figured I might as well see what happens if I cross my hobby streams. ceruleanfive.itch.io/the-rising-f...

If it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch: I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

For the longest time, I've wanted to make a TTRPG advancement system based on the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X. Let's go!

Generative AI < Asking my dad to doodle.

Thinking about an XP system. “XP could be kind of diegetic—so you can find it in caves or get it as payment and that sort of thing. You could maybe even barter with it to get better weapons and equipment. I'm crazy smart, why has no one else thought of this before!?”

Some notes about how I write TTRPG adventures: My texts tend to be terse. A location described in two lines; a single spoken sentence to describe a character. The aim is *not* to be laconic, but to mirror the pace of natural dialogue; a TTRPG is a conversation between players, after all! 1/

Dragonfly Motel characters are inspired by randomly drawn attribute notes, like “The joy of the present moment”. Consider how they lose things or how the decor concludes them, then discard that attribute note in a creative way. On Kickstarter in February 2026. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

might just automate this to repost itself every 9-12 months shop.wyrd.science

Things I love in TTRPGs #125: Waypoints that aren't inns or taverns along major thoroughfares where you can stop for the night. Roadside shrines, little crofter's lean-tos, maintained and marked campsites with dry firewood. Places that show signs of habitation. People already there seeking shelter.

If you use Discord, here's a chance to voice your opinion on if they should implement AI. I know where I stand, but also, swearing in surveys isn't really useful. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Gonna open up a PREORDER for Doodles by Nohr soon, so expect me to not shut up about this book soon. 264 pages, roughly the same amount of sketches and scribbly doodles, as well as musings on drawing and creating art. Oh, and the book comes with a sketchbook.

DON'T stop making art. DON'T stop making music. DON'T stop playing instruments. DON'T stop writing. DON'T stop photography. DON'T stop cooking beautiful dishes. DON'T stop designing. DON'T stop being creative.

Same. Get it!

This post syncretized a couple things about clocks in Forged in the Dark games that have kind of bugged me for a bit. mailchi.mp/564e901ae987...

It's trippy.
