Lost Fable came in the mail! Here's my proof copy, and I'm really happy with how it's looking so far! #osr #indieRPG #LostFable

There's like, two blog posts I really put in a lot of professional research for (and the rest is my stupid ideas off the braindome): Horror in RPGs And Coziness in RPGs If either interest you, check 'em out, why not? riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2021/09/advi... riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2022/01/c-o-...

Sometimes you just want to try something weird, just to shake things up a bit. #Fantasy #TTRPG #Art #OSR

Considering running an #osr game for middle schoolers this fall. I'd probably run #Cairn or Shadow and Fae, and start with Black Wyrm of Brandonsford. Any advice/adventures/tales of your own endeavors?

1. Commit atrocities 2. Exaggerate outrage of the people into "rioting" 3. Because of the rioting, establish a stronger authority presence. 4. Maintain strangle hold on freedom of speech, with threats and very real violence. Fuck #ICE, thank you #LAPD for speaking truth about the peaceful protests.

Built myself a MOTHERSHIP fantasy hack. How are there so few out there? Anyway, here's MIST & SORROWS shadowandfae.itch.io/mist-and-sor... #TTRPG #Horror #Fantasy #Mothership #indie

Some thoughts on #mothership #horror RPGs in general, and an incomplete 3-fold fantasy hack. shadowandfae.blogspot.com/2025/06/mist...

Lost Fable is still in the works! I'm really happy with how the new layout is looking. #OSR, #TTRPG, #zine, #Indie

1 week until final exams. I have not missed this at all.

What if all the Ghibli movies were happening on the same map, at about the same time? Crazy, crazy... unless? shadowandfae.blogspot.com/2025/04/west...

Well there went March. Let's see: - Got a tattoo - Went Skiing - Returned to College - Tried to convince a few work friends, "No, really, getting in a trade war with the whole world is a very bad idea."

Good morning world, what are you all doing today to keep the existential dread at bay?

A solid mug, English Breakfast tea.

It's a good day. All my college admissions paperwork is done and accepted, I have a mug of tea in my brand new Green Dragon mug, and the students are learning words.

Reminding myself: Faults in playtesting do not mean "throw it all away." Just "this facet could be reconsidered, but the rest is going well!"

A massive thank you to everyone who got "Lost Fable" this far! We've covered my first class, and are onto the second. Before classes start, I'm still working on the final setting portion of the game. Once that's done, it's on to editing! shadowandfae.itch.io/lost-fable-ee #TTRPG #zine

Ratings are a product of their era. We all have individual taste, and it rarely conforms perfectly to the group.

Hello Friends! I am 61 cents from covering my first of 3 prereqs for a Special Education degree! If you're interested in helping, you can pitch in (and encourage me to keep writing #rpg stuff) here! itch.io/s/147058/hil... Share if you can! #osr #ttrpg #education

Lost Fable's Treasure Section is Done! It includes items from rare crafting materials to mythic arcana. The game is PWYW on itch, and if you feel like supporting, know it's going to a good cause—teaching kids to read! shadowandfae.itch.io/lost-fable-ee #OSR #ttrpg #fantasy #hopeful

I want to read a book. I do not *have* said book. I went to the library to check it out. The spine was broken. The Librarian (my sister) told me she'd fix it, and to come back tomorrow. I am now useless until tomorrow. My apologies.

My sons just reinvented Rock/Paper/Scissors Larp, combined with a Pokémon style moves-based battle system and LoZ hearts. On your turn, choose a move: then play RPS with the target to determine how effective the move is. Their favorite move right now is "Ice Cream"

Steampunk Girls vs. Gothic Horror! This one came together pretty fast. Not perfect, but hey! Who's trying to be? Away from the office, so no fancy print files available yet, but they're coming. #dnd #ttrpg #art #minis

More girls! #Minis #dnd #ttrpg #steampunk Not sure I'm satisfied with the level of steampunk, but the dresses are fun!

Hmm. Maybe a paper mini set of Girls Vs. Werewolves, but Steampunk...

Made some lil paper-mini ladies (and the goblins the slay). #dnd #art #osr #minis

Found on Reddit, an awesome little village/city landmark generator! Thought it might be helpful for folks. www.reddit.com/r/DnD/s/UPMy... #dnd #ttrpg #osr

Just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who's supported Lost Fable. It means the world that you like the game, and you want to help out with my college! We broke $300 on the first day! shadowandfae.itch.io/lost-fable-ee #TTRPG #IndieDEV #DND #LostFable

For those interested, Phlox has built a character generator for Lost Fable, one-click characters! whosemeasure.blogspot.com/2025/01/lost... #lostFable, #osr, #ttrpg

Become a hero in an evil age, build a safe haven, and craft wonders! Spread the news! Lost Fable is now funding on Itch with an Early Edition available now for supporters. Proceeds go towards my degree in Special Education! shadowandfae.itch.io/lost-fable-ee #ttrpg #osr #MutualSupport #selfpromo

"How to write an adventure" is such a broad category. I want to be helpful, not too vague, but not too specific, because adventures could be literally *anything*.

Self-affirmation of the day. I *am* a good teacher, I *can* do this, these kids *are* learning. I don't feel it most days, but today is going well.

Hey y'all, please share if you can spare a reskeet! I am still booking for March, I'd like to cover the few commissions slots I have remaining for the month. Please head here for info, portfolio, FAQs, etc: www.flygohr.com

GM Tip: Help your players set goals for their characters. One of the best questions is: "What does your character want, and why can't they get it?" As a GM, these answers give you a lot to work with. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

My least favorite part of game design is probably "balance". It feels like an elusive goal, and always makes my head hurt.

One should not force oneself to draw while sleep deprived. The drawings, jeffrey. The drawings are not good.

Hmm.... A la carte feat selection for unique but lengthier character building? Or prebuilt sub-classes for quick character creation? #ttrpg #indieDev

Gulf. Of. Mexico.

A little character art of an assassin-type character. The face reminds me of Karen Gillan, and I think she'd play the part well! 😅 #TTRPG #Sketch #art #LostFable #osr

I had a #nightmare that a blood-covered buck was forcing its way underneath my front door. That's not a bad sign, right?

I took some time this morning and updated my Bluesky TTRPG Starter Pack Directory, adding 21 new starter packs since the directory was first published. If you're looking for more people to follow in the tabletop roleplaying space, hit the link. Reposts always appreciated! #dnd #ttrpg #bluesky

A little half-orc alchemist for #LostFable #TTRPG #IndieDEV #OSR #art #sketch

Playing #ChronoTrigger for the first time, and I guess there's a reason people say it's one of the best RPGs out there. Atmospheric, fun, lots of variety, and the story is pretty good! No spoilers please!

Ok, this does look good though. Taking constructive criticism! #indieDEV #Design #layout #TTRPG #OSR #LostFable

Art Deco page headings? #indieDev #ttrpg #OSR

Exhausted, but the house is clean, the dishwasher is started, the kids are in bed, and there's nothing on the schedule tomorrow. I think we'll be alright.

Our 7yo decided to try #chess in November. He hasnt stopped playing/learning since, and gets to play in a tournament today!

Hey #ttrpg players. What's your best advice for, or the most fun you've had with, tactical theater of the mind combat? I'm not too particular on the system. #dnd #osr #nsr
