As of tomorrow, Cairn Press is live! Bring me your modules, your supplements, your hacks - as long as they are Cairn adjacent, I'll take consider it! More soon. cairnpress.ink

Why *Not* join Zine Quest this year? I'm thrilled to announce The Valley of Lune! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hil... #Cairn #OSR #Indie

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

Updated the house rules: hilanderrpgs.bearblog.dev/house-rules-... #ttrpg #osr #indieRPG

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

A Cornucopia of Caskets. Dragon Warriors fanzine soon to reach issue 18. All available free or pay what you want on @drivethrurpg.com . Apart from 18. That's coming. As well as some more POD. #bosr #dragonwarriors #britisholdschool

Conference day! (Maybe next time I'll bring her to an RPG conference. Could I count that as a business trip?)

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

Fresh Hot Haunted House! shadowandfae.itch.io/the-mourning... PWYW 20 room dungeon featuring a tragic backstory, a zombie butler, and haunted magic items! #osr, #dnd, #halloween, #adventure, #indie

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...
