I love picking up new and modern games, but sometimes the 6 year old and I just pull out this ancient box of classic games I used to play with when I was a kid.

I wanted to try something a little different. Join now for $5 and receive all four installments as they release. The price will increase as new installments are added until the final retail price of $20. A small thank you to those who support the series early.

The Summer Series is a four-part Pine Shallows event. It begins with a 20-page campaign setting guide featuring the fair, new locations, NPCs, random tables, and updated maps of Pine Shallows. The next three installments are mystery adventures released monthly throughout the summer.

School’s out. What will you do with your summer? Summer has arrived in Pine Shallows, and with it comes the annual Coastal County Fair. No school, no responsibility, and even less supervision than usual. The Summer Series is now available.

Now that the discourse has died down, and my birding has lessened, I want to talk about lists in rpgs. I like what both sides of the debate make. So, like everything else, "good" isn't about which side you choose but how you execute the idea. If you choose to use lists, use them well.

This is exactly the critique I have towards Kurzgesagt's latest video: There are more than enough resources to support retirement funds in the future, it's that Germany is not willing to tax those who own THE MAJORITY of the wealth. As is the fucking problem everywhere.

I forgot to include why I posted this. Not that I want to start or reiterate on discourse, but if you can make (with some patience of course) 50 cts a word publishing stuff yourself, don't write for 10 cents a word or less.

According to my (not 100% accurate, but close enough) data my self-published roleplaying stuff has accrued close to 50 cts per word in revenue. (this does not include the word count of all my WIPs and false starts, only everything published to itch so far)

Bsky, for Pine Shallows I'm looking for a cartographer, but someone who can draw the map of Pine Shallows in a playful style like found in middlegrade adventure/fantasy books (I'm not looking for a copy but see the examples for the type of map) Can you recommend me your favorite map artists?

Reading an old Traveller adventure for a certain purpose. "It is intended that at least four and no more than eight adventurers should take part, with the ideal number being seven." 7 players? holy crap, I ran a game with 5 players and was already exhausted.
