Finals Week is upon us! Checklists are made, schedules are cleared, loved ones are bid a fond farewell. May the Profs have mercy upon our souls...

Today on Between Two Cairns, @bradkerr.net, @betterlegends.bsky.social and I review What Lies Within the Pools Which Lie Upon the Shoreline? by @manarampmatt.bsky.social and discuss how do modern OSR games handle handle a vacuum after PC death. www.patreon.com/posts/what-l...

Here's a Micro Manual Template for #MicroManualJam (Map by @dysonlogos.bsky.social ) Happening now on itch! itch.io/jam/micro-ma... #ttrpg #indie #osr

What would you alter to make Mothership into a Fallout game? It seems to me that a lot of things could be run exactly as is, with the adventure itself doing most of the heavy lifting. Desert Moon of Karth is practically there, I think. #Mothership #OSR

Hey you! Yes you! Have you read your favorite nostalgic video game's original game manual? These things are cool, hence the #MicroManualJam! itch.io/jam/micro-ma... #OSR and #TTRPG writers looking for a fun little challenge, join up!

Hey #TTRPG writers! Do you like those retro game manuals that used to come with video games? The ones that showed you the basics, added some context, and maybe held a hint or two? I'm hosting a game jam on itch, the #MicroManualJam ! itch.io/jam/micro-ma...

The fascist just saw me eating a snack and left the room. I feel accomplished.

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat

I think I'll keep a sketchbook on my blog. That feels like a fun little addition. hilanderrpgs.bearblog.dev/sketchbook/

hilanderrpgs.bearblog.dev/in-defense-o... New Blogpost. Been thinking about adventuring for progression. #osr #dnd #ttrpg

Played some more Mythic Bastionland yesterday. Having a lot of fun with the combat system. Rolling all of our dice at the same time and deciding what to do as a group really speeds up combat.

Between Two Cairns is organizing a gaming convention in Portland, OR. Please come! betweentwocons.com @betterlegends.bsky.social @yochaigal.bsky.social

Some potential cover art. #ttrpg #osr #indie

I made a big (still free!) update to Harwood, including lots of formatting, a whole new dungeon, a rework of the map, and some better tie-ins for the hex-crawl regions! shadowandfae.itch.io/harwood/devl... #OSR #indieRPG

I'm playing with a template for adventure modules, as I'm hoping to publish a few adventures in '26. Let me know what you think! #osr #ttrpg #indieRPG

Here's the latest project from me! I took inspiration from Shadowdark and GLoG, and did my best to turn this into a tool for players new and old. Happy Gaming! shadowandfae.itch.io/felwoods #OSR #indie #TTRPG

A robot just swept and mopped my kitchen floor. I'm George Frickin' Jetson.

Someone rolled a good reaction with those Skeletons. #OSR, #TTRPG, #Art

And then it was Winter Break.

Hey #OSR folks! I'm looking to collect some online bestiaries for a big link-collection here: hilanderrpgs.bearblog.dev/monsters/ If you know of anyone with a good online bestiary, let me know!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Saving to watch/listen to.

yes! i've started viewing entrances as atmospheric touchstones for the whole party, GM included. i want something that cuts through the table chatter and says "you're elsewhere now"

Still have a long way to go when it comes to colors, but hey! It is done! (It's never done) My riddle knight for Mythic Bastionland, Imp! Many think it's father is a fairy or a muse of some sort; a rumor it loves to fuel.

I need you to open this map up and zoom in on the details.

SLATEMANE: Really pleased with the creature design for these creatures for the Hailing Straits. We are working on the regional beastiary. I'm glad it looks strange but not too alien. These pack predators are renowned for their vicelike crushing bite. #ttrpg #monster #monsters #beasties
